Privacy Policy

We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and this privacy policy, where we inform you about the key aspects of data processing on our website. This website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of personal data and other confidential content (e.g., orders or inquiries to the responsible party). You can recognize an encrypted connection by the string “https://” and the lock symbol in your browser line.

The use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. If personal data (e.g., name, phone number, address, or email address) is collected on our pages, this is always done on a voluntary basis. These data will not be disclosed to third parties without your explicit consent.

Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., communication via email) can have security gaps. A complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data

If we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis. For the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. Where the processing of personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis. If processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis. If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

If you have given your consent, this website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”).

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Please note that Google Analytics on this website has been extended by IP anonymization to ensure anonymous collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
