Collection of General Information When Visiting Our Website
Type and Purpose of Processing:
When you access our website, i.e., if you do not register or otherwise provide information, general information is automatically collected. This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet service provider, your IP address, and similar.
This information is processed for the following purposes:
- Ensuring a trouble-free connection to the website,
- Ensuring smooth use of our website,
- Evaluating system security and stability, and
- Optimizing our website.
We do not use your data to draw conclusions about you personally. Information of this kind is statistically evaluated anonymously if necessary, to optimize our website and the underlying technology.
Legal Basis and Legitimate Interest:
Processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website.
Recipients:
Recipients of the data may be technical service providers who act as data processors for the operation and maintenance of our website.
Storage Duration:
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose of collection. For data used to provide the website, this is generally the case when the session ends.
In the case of data storage in log files, this is the case after no more than 14 days. Further storage is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are anonymized so that a direct association to the accessing client is no longer possible.
Provision Required or Mandatory:
The provision of the aforementioned personal data is neither legally nor contractually required. However, without the IP address, the service and functionality of our website cannot be guaranteed. In addition, individual services and services may not be available or may be restricted. For this reason, objection is excluded.
Contact Form
Type and Purpose of Processing:
The data you enter will be stored for the purpose of individual communication with you. This requires the provision of a valid email address and your name. This serves the assignment of the request and the subsequent response to it. The provision of further data is optional.
Legal Basis:
The processing of the data entered into the contact form is based on a legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).
By providing the contact form, we want to make it easy for you to get in touch with us. Your information will be stored for the purpose of processing the request and for possible follow-up questions.
If you contact us to request an offer, the data entered in the contact form will be processed to carry out pre-contractual measures (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR).
Recipients:
Recipients of the data may be data processors.
Storage Duration:
Data will be deleted no later than 6 months after the request has been processed.
If a contractual relationship is established, we are subject to the statutory retention periods under the German Commercial Code (HGB) and will delete your data after these periods have expired.
Provision Required or Mandatory:
The provision of your personal data is voluntary. However, we can only process your request if you provide us with your name, email address, and the reason for your inquiry.
SSL Encryption
To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g., SSL) over HTTPS.
Information About Your Right to Object Under Art. 21 GDPR
Right to Object on a Case-by-Case Basis
You have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you, which is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (data processing based on a balancing of interests); this also applies to profiling based on this provision within the meaning of Art. 4 no. 4 GDPR.
If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
