We are pleased that you are interested in our website. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below we provide you with detailed information about how we handle your data.

1. Access data and hosting

You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. Every time you access a website, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, 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. This access data is evaluated solely for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the website and improving our offering. This serves to protect our legitimate interests in a correct presentation of our offering in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter f of GDPR, which prevail within the framework of a balancing of interests. All access data is deleted no later than seven days after the end of your visit to the website.

Hosting

The services for hosting and displaying the website are partly provided by our service providers as part of processing on our behalf. Unless otherwise stated in this privacy policy, all access data and all data collected in forms provided for this purpose on this website are processed on their servers. If you have any questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please use the contact options described in this privacy policy. Our service providers are based in the USA. There is no adequacy decision from the European Commission for the USA. Our cooperation with them is based on standard data protection clauses of the European Commission.

Content Delivery Network

To shorten loading times, we use a so-called content delivery network (“CDN”) for some of our offers. This service delivers content, e.g. large media files, via regionally distributed servers of external CDN service providers. Access data is therefore processed on the service provider's servers. Our service providers work for us as part of order processing. If you have any questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with you, please use the contact option described in this data protection declaration. Our service providers are based in the USA. There is no adequacy decision from the European Commission for the USA. Our cooperation with them is based on standard data protection clauses of the European Commission.

2. Data processing for contact and customer communication

contact

We collect personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or email). Mandatory fields are marked as such because in these cases we absolutely need the data to process your contact and you cannot send the contact without it. The data collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide to process your inquiries in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter b of GDPR.

After your customer request has been fully processed, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after expiry of the tax and commercial retention periods in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter c of GDPR, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter a of GDPR or we reserve the right to use the data in any other way that is permitted by law and about which we will inform you in this declaration.

Live chat tool WhatsApp

For the purpose of customer communication, we use the live chat tool of WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("WhatsApp"). This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in effective and improved customer communication in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter f of GDPR, which prevail within the framework of a balancing of interests. WhatsApp works for us on our behalf. The telephone numbers we store on our mobile device are automatically processed on servers of Meta Platforms, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA. Only telephone numbers of customers who have previously contacted us via WhatsApp and have therefore already accepted WhatsApp's terms of use and data protection are stored. There is no adequacy decision from the European Commission for the USA. Our cooperation is based on standard data protection clauses of the European Commission.
