Privacy policy
We guarantee that we will only collect, process, store and use your data in connection with the processing of your requests as well as for internal purposes and providing the services that you have requested or to make content available.

We will explain where the main legal grounds are regulated in the GDPR:

Consent – Art. 6 (1) a. and Art. 7 GDPR
Processing for fulfilment of our services and implementation of contractual measures – Art. 6 (1) b. GDPR
Processing to safeguard our legitimate interests - Art. 6 (1) f. GDPR

Data transfer to third parties

We draw your attention to the fact that data transfer takes place based on Google Analytics when our online services used.

Data transfers to a third country or an international organization
Third countries are countries in which the GDPR is not a directly applicable law. This includes essentially all countries outside the EU or the European Economic Area.

Data is transferred to a third country or an international organization. Please note that there are relevant/suitable warranties and that you may exercise enforceable rights and effective legal remedies.

You can obtain a copy of the relevant guarantees under the following links:

Duration of storage of your personal data
We comply with the principles of data economy and data avoidance. This means that data you make available to us is only retained as long as it is needed to fulfil the above-mentioned purposes or for the various storage periods stipulated by the legislator. If the relevant purpose no longer applies or the appropriate relevant periods have expired, your data will be blocked automatically or erased in accordance with the statutory regulations.

We have developed a company-internal concept to guarantee this procedure.

Making contact
If you make contact with us by email, telephone, fax, contact form etc. you consent to electronic communication. Personal data will be collected when you contact us. The information you provide will be stored exclusively for the purpose of processing the enquiry and for any follow-up questions.

We will explain the legal grounds:

Processing for fulfilment of our services and implementation of contractual measures – Art. 6 (1) b. GDPR
Processing to safeguard our legitimate interests - Art. 6 (1) f. GDPR

We use software to maintain customer data (CRM system) or comparable software on the basis of our legitimate interests (processing users' enquiries quickly and efficiently).

For this purpose we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider in which the latter undertakes to process user data only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the EU level of data protection.

We must advise you that emails can be read or changed, unnoticed and without authorization, during transmission. We also draw your attention to the fact that we use software to filter unwanted emails (spam filter).
