  • Date and time
  • Browser type and version
  • the operating system of your PC
  • Pages you have visited

This data is collected solely for the purposes of data security, to improve our website and for error analysis on the basis of article 6 paragraph 1 f DSGVO. The IP address of your computer is only evaluated anonymously (shortened by the last 3 digits). Besides, you can visit our website without giving any personal information. 

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet can have security gaps (e.g. when communicating by email). A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible. You should therefore send us confidential data in an alternate way, e.g. by postal mail.

Contact form

Personal data (e.g. your name, address or contact data) that you provide us with voluntarily, e.g. as part of an inquiry or otherwise, will be stored by us and processed only for correspondence with you and solely for the purpose for which you have made this data available to us. The processing of these data is based on art. 6 par. 1 a; 6 par. 1 f. DSGVO.

Registration

You can register on our homepage to use additional features on the site. We use the data submitted only for the purpose of utilizing the respective offer or service for which you have registered. The mandatory data requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise we will refuse the registration. For important changes, such as modifications to the product range or technically necessary adjustments, we will use the email address provided during registration to inform you. The processing of the data entered during registration is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You can revoke any consent you have given at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal note by email. The legality of the data already processed remains unaffected by the revocation. We store the data obtained during registration for as long as you are registered on our website and will then be deleted. Legal retention periods remain valid.

We offer you the option to order a newsletter on our homepage. Personal data is collected from you when subscribing. To make sure that the newsletter was ordered by you or your email address, you will first receive a confirmation email. Only if you click on the activation link, you will be added to our distribution list and will receive the newsletter. The subscription to the newsletter is logged for verification purposes (IP address, date, time). You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by notifying us. This includes using the link at the end of each newsletter to cancel it. The legal basis is Article 6 paragraph 1a DSGVO.

Safe data transfer

To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use the latest technical standards for encryption (SSL) via HTTPS

IV. Recipients of personal data

For the implementation and handling of processing procedures, we may use external data processing services.

To be specific, we have engaged service providers to send out the newsletter and host our website.

All agreements with our service providers are based on the regulations of Art. 28 DSGVO, which contain the legally required clauses on data protection and data security.

V. Data collection by Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users interact with the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 f) DSGVO.

However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states which are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in rare cases is the full IP address transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. We point out that on this website Google Analytics has been extended by the code "anonymizelp" to guarantee an anonymized version of the IP address.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities and to provide further services to the website operator related to website and internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; note that you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link:

VII. reCAPTCHA

To protect your requests via internet form we use the service reCAPTCHA of the company Google Inc. (Google). The query helps determine whether the entry is entered by a human or improperly by automatic machine processing. The query includes sending the IP address and any other data required by Google for the service reCAPTCHA to Google. For this purpose your submission will be transmitted to Google and further used there. Your IP address will, however, be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states which are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

This service is performed in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter f DSGVO

Right of rectification

You can request the correction of incomplete or incorrectly processed personal data.

Right to erasure

You have the right to have personal data concerning you deleted, in particular if one of the following reasons applies

  • You revoke your consent on which the processing of your data was based.

  • deletion is not possible due to the obligation to retain data

If data cannot be deleted, there may be a right to restrict processing (subsequently).

Right to restrict processing 

You have the right to demand the restriction of processing your personal data if

  • you deny the accuracy of the data and we therefore check the correctness,
  • the processing is unlawful and you refuse deletion and request a restriction in use instead
  • we no longer need the data, but you do so in order to assert, execute or defend legal claims,
  • you have filed an objection against the processing of your data but it is not yet certain whether our justified reasons outweigh your reasons.

Right to data transmission

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided us with in a structured, standard and machine-readable format and you have the right to transfer this data to another responsible party without interference from us, as long as the processing is based on consent or a contract and the processing by us is carried out with the help of automated procedures.

Right of withdrawal

The individual concerned shall have the right to object at any time, on grounds to his or her specific situation, to the processing of personal data concerning him or her, which is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f); this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. If the processing of your personal data is based on consent, you have the right to revoke this consent at any time.

XI. Indicative time limits for data erasure

Unless there is a statutory retention requirement, the data will be deleted or destroyed when it is no longer necessary for the purpose of the data processing. Different terms apply to the retention of personal data. Data relevant for tax purposes is usually stored for 10 years, other data is usually kept for 6 years according to commercial law regulations. The duration of storage may also be governed by the statutory limitation periods, which, for example, under sections 195 et seq. of the German Civil Code (BGB), are generally three years, but in certain cases may be up to thirty years.

XII. Right of appeal to a supervisory authority

Under Art. 77 DSGVO, every individual has a right of appeal to a supervisory authority if he or she believes that the processing of personal data about him or her violates the DSGVO. The competent supervisory authority in data protection matters is the data protection officer of the federal state in which our company is located.
