Data Collection on This Website
Cookies
Our websites use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small data files and do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily on your device for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.
We only use technically necessary cookies that are required for the operation of the website. These cookies store your cookie consent. The legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest).
Contact Form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, the information you provide in the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), if requested. You may withdraw your consent at any time.
The data you enter into the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your inquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular statutory retention periods, remain unaffected.
