When you visit our website, various server statistics are automatically stored, which your browser transmits to our provider’s server: the time of the page views, number of page views, duration of the session, IP address and host name of the user, information about the requesting client (usually browser), search engine used including search query and the operating system used are logged.
This data is used for the statistical evaluation of visits to our site and cannot be assigned to specific persons.
The legal basis for the collection of data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. A consolidation of this data with other data sources is not carried out. The IP address will be anonymized. Our legitimate interest in the collection of this data is based on the fact that we can use the data to optimize our offer for users, e.g. by preventing access from malicious sites or by optimizing access via certain browsers, and that the log of the IP address is what makes the delivery of the site to the visitor possible in the first place.
Generally you have the right to object to this collection of data. This is actually not possible in this case, because otherwise the content of this site can´t be carried out and the use of the site would not be possible.
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the above-mentioned purposes.
1a. Security of data transmission
For the transmission of your data, we use a secure server with SSL technology (Secure Socket Layer) with 128-bit encryption. In this way, your data is transmitted to us securely and unreadable for unauthorised persons.
2. Processing and disclosure of personal data
Insofar as you have provided us with personal data, we use this data to answer your enquiries, to advise you and to process contracts concluded with you and for technical administration. Except in the cases explicitly mentioned in this declaration, your personal data will only be passed on or otherwise transferred to third parties if this is necessary for the purpose of processing the contract, if this is necessary for billing purposes or if you have given your prior consent. You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future, see also section 6 on your data subject rights.
2b. Request by Contact form and by e-mail
When using our contact form, we collect and store your e-mail address and the content of the message for the purpose of answering your enquiry. The following data is optional: position title, company, first name, last name, telephone number, country and address.
If you send us an enquiry by e-mail, we collect and store the e-mail address and the data contained in the e-mail for the purpose of answering your enquiry.
The legal basis for storing the data you provide in the contact form is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, as you give your consent to this storage. If a contractual relationship develops from the enquiry by way of contract initiation or if the enquiry relates to an existing contractual relationship, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, as the storage of the data is necessary for the fulfilment of a pre-contractual or contractual obligation. Furthermore, we also have a legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR in processing the data for the purpose of communication and answering your enquiries.
The data will be deleted when the purpose for which it was stored no longer applies, i.e. after your e-mail inquiry has been answered or when the matter associated with the inquiry has been finally clarified. In the case of an existing contractual relationship or a contractual relationship resulting from the inquiry, the data will be deleted after expiry of the statutory retention periods.
For information on the right to deletion and information, see section 6 below on your rights as a data subject.
