Cookies
Some internet pages use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our website more effective, user-friendly and safer. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser. Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit to the website. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser the next time you visit. You can set your browser so that you are informed about the use of cookies and to only allow cookies in specific cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and enable the automatic deletion of cookies when you close the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.
Cookies that are required to carry out certain electronic communication processes or to provide functions you require are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit.f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If other cookies (e.g. cookies for analysing your browsing behaviour) are stored, these will be treated separately in this data protection declaration.
Server-Log Files
The provider of the website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are: browser type and browser version, operating system used, referrer URL, host name of the accessing computer, time of the server request, IP address. This data will not be merged with other data sources. The basis for this data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR, which allows the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.
Contact form
If you send us inquiries using the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the request and in case of any follow-up questions. This data will not be disclosed without your previous consent. The processing of the data entered in the contact form takes place solely on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can retract this consent at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal email. The legality of the data processing operations carried out before the withdrawal of consent remains unaffected by the withdrawal. The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
