This privacy policy also applies to our websites and social media profiles. With regard to the definition of terms such as "personal data" or "processing", we refer to Art. 4 DS-GVO.

Data types, purposes of processing and categories of data subjects

In the following, we inform you about the type, scope and purpose of collecting, processing and using personal data.

1. Types of data we process
Usage data (access times, websites visited etc.), contact data (phone, e-mail etc.),

2. Purposes of processing under Article 13 (1) c) of the DS-GVO
Optimize website technically and economically, provide easy access to the website, optimize and statistically evaluate our services, improve user experience, make website user-friendly, create statistics, handle contact requests, provide websites with functions and content,

3. Categories of persons concerned under Article 13(1)(e) of the DS-GVO
Visitors/users of the website,

The persons concerned are collectively referred to as "users".

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

In the following we inform you about the legal basis of the processing of personal data:

1. If we have obtained your consent for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) DS-GVO is the legal basis.
2. If the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken in response to your request, Article 6 (1) sentence 1 letter b) DS-GVO is the legal basis.
3. If the processing is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation to which we are subject (e.g. statutory storage obligations), Art. 6 Para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c) DS-GVO is the legal basis.
4. If the processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person, the legal basis is Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. d) DS-GVO.
5. If the processing is necessary to safeguard our interests or the legitimate interests of a third party and your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms do not prevail in this respect, Article 6 (1) sentence 1 letter f) of the DS-GVO is the legal basis.

Transfer of personal data to third parties and processors

Without your consent, we will not pass on any data to third parties. Should this be the case, however, the transfer will be made on the basis of the aforementioned legal bases, e.g. when data is passed on to online payment providers for the purpose of fulfilling a contract or due to a court order or due to a legal obligation to surrender the data for the purpose of criminal prosecution, to avert danger or to enforce intellectual property rights.
We also use contract processors (external service providers e.g. for web hosting of our websites) to process your data. We select our processors carefully and check them regularly.

Transfer of data to third countries

The adoption of the European Data Protection Basic Regulation (DS-GVO) has created a uniform basis for data protection in Europe. Your data is therefore processed primarily by companies to which the DS-GVO applies. If, however, processing is carried out by services of third parties outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, they must comply with the special requirements of Art. 44 ff. DS-GVO.

Erasure of data and storage duration

Unless expressly stated in this data protection declaration, your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the consent granted for processing is revoked by you or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies or the data is no longer required for the purpose, unless its further storage is required for evidence purposes or this is opposed by statutory storage obligations. This includes, for example, commercial storage obligations for business letters according to § 257 para. 1 HGB (6 years) as well as tax storage obligations according to § 147 para. 1 AO of receipts (10 years). When the prescribed retention period expires, your data will be blocked or deleted, unless the storage is still necessary for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.

Existence of automated decision making

We do not use automatic decision making or profiling.
