You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. Every time a website is accessed, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, date and time of retrieval, amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the retrieval. This access data is evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offering. This serves to protect our legitimate interests, which predominate in the context of a balancing of interests, in a correct presentation of our offer in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter f of the GDPR.

We collect personal data if you voluntarily provide it to us when you contact 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 providing it. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide to process your inquiries in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter b GDPR. Once your customer request has been fully processed, your data will be deleted unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter a of the GDPR or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law about which we inform you in this statement.
