III. General information on data processing
1. scope and purposes of the processing of personal data
We process personal data,
a) for the fulfillment of contractual obligations (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR)
The processing of data takes place for the fulfillment of contracts or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures that take place at your request.
b) on the basis of a legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR)
If necessary, your data will be processed beyond the aforementioned purposes to protect legitimate interests.
- Improvement and further development of the offering
- Measures for business management and further development
- Ensuring the IT security and IT operation of the website
- Assertion of claims and defense in legal disputes,
- Measures for building and system security (e.g. access controls),
- Measures to safeguard domiciliary rights,
- advertising or market and opinion research, provided you have not objected to the use of your data,
c) on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 a GDPR)
2. Data erasure and storage duration
The personal data of the data subject will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Data may also be stored if this is provided for in EU regulations, national laws or other regulations to which we are subject as the controller or if further storage of the data is necessary for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.
3. disclosure of information (personal data) to third parties
We sometimes use specialized service providers to process your data. We only provide them with the personal data that they require for their specific activities. The service providers are carefully selected and regularly monitored by us. They process personal data only on our behalf and strictly in accordance with our instructions on the basis of corresponding contracts on order processing.
If the service providers we use, who process personal data for us on our behalf and in accordance with our instructions as so-called processors pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR, are located outside the EU/EEA, we ensure that they have an adequate level of data protection (e.g. adequacy decision of the EU Commission/conclusion of EU standard contractual clauses, etc.) before transferring data to them.
IV. Processing of personal data
1. automatically collected information when visiting our website
You can visit our website without providing any personal data. Each time a website is accessed, the web server only automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains, among other things, the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the access. These access data are
- Your IP address
- Name of the website/file accessed
- Date and time of access
- Amount of data transferred
- Notification of successful retrieval
- Browser type and version
- Operating system used
- End device used, incl. MAC address
- Referrer URL (the previously visited page)
This access data is analyzed exclusively for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and to improve our offer and the ability to detect and track attacks. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in a correct presentation of our offer within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, which predominate in the context of a balancing of interests.
2. data that you make available to us
You can contact us at any time using the contact options provided (form, e-mail, telephone). The data you enter will be transmitted to us, stored and used to process your request.
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected.
V. Newsletter
You can subscribe to our regular free e-mail newsletter, with which we inform you about current topics by e-mail.
We use the so-called double opt-in procedure for registration. This means that after registering, you will receive a confirmation e-mail from us in which you will be asked to confirm your registration by clicking on the link contained therein.
Subscriptions to the newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process. This includes storing the time of registration and confirmation as well as the IP address. Furthermore, the changes to your data stored with the service provider of our newsletter are logged.
The newsletter is sent on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or, if consent is not required, on the basis of our legitimate interests in direct marketing, insofar as this is permitted by law, e.g. in the case of advertising to existing customers (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).
Newsletter analysis - conversion tracking
The newsletter dispatch with our dispatch service provider enables us to analyze the behavior of the newsletter recipient. The analysis shows, among other things, how many recipients have opened their newsletter and how often links in the newsletter were clicked.
If you no longer wish to receive newsletters from us, you can object to this at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal message by email or unsubscribe using the unsubscribe link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the withdrawal of your consent.

You also have the right to restrict the processing of your data and the right to receive the data you have provided in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
If data processing is based on your consent, you can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. If data processing is based on overriding legitimate interests, you can object to this data processing if this is justified by your particular situation.
Every data subject also has the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if they believe that data protection regulations have been breached.
