When you visit our website, additional data is automatically collected for technical reasons (IP address, start and end of the session, date and time of the request, sub-page accessed on our website, type and version of the browser, operating system, referrer URL). These technical details may, in individual cases, constitute personal data. As a rule, we use these technical details only if it is necessary (for technical reasons) for the operation and protection of our website from attacks and misuse, as well as in pseudonymized or anonymized form for statistical purposes.

If you contact us via the inquiry form on the website or by email, your provided data (first name, last name, address, telephone number, email) will be stored by us for six months for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent. The processing of your personal data for specific purposes (e.g., use of your email for newsletters, advertising) can also be based on your consent. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. This also applies to the revocation of declarations of consent given to us before the GDPR came into effect. You will be separately informed about the purposes and consequences of a revocation or the refusal of consent in the corresponding text of the consent.

To fulfill contracts or pre-contractual measures and beyond, we process your data (first name, last name, address, telephone number, email) if necessary to safeguard legitimate interests of ours or third parties, particularly for the following purposes:

• Further development of services and products as well as existing systems and processes
• Statistical evaluations or market analysis
• Assertion of legal claims and defense in legal disputes not directly related to the contractual relationship
• Prevention and investigation of criminal offenses, unless exclusively for the fulfillment of legal requirements

The legal bases for data processing are:

• Your possible consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR
• Legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR
