2. Collection and Processing of Personal Data
When you visit our website, our web server temporarily stores the following data for system security purposes: your IP address, the pages you visit on our site, the date and time of the request and duration of your visit, identification data of the browser and operating system used, and the website from which you accessed ours. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1(f) GDPR.
Any further personal data such as your name, address, phone number, or email address will not be collected unless you provide this information voluntarily.
When you contact us via email or a contact form, we store the data you provide (your email address and, if applicable, your name and phone number) in order to process your request. We delete this data once it is no longer required for storage or restrict processing if statutory retention obligations apply.
3. Inquiries by Email, Phone, or Fax
If you contact us by email, phone, or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We will not share this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR) and/or our legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR), as we have a legitimate interest in effectively handling inquiries addressed to us.
The data you send to us via contact requests remains with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions—especially retention periods—remain unaffected.

5. Use of Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer. On our website, they are necessary to make our services more user-friendly, effective, and secure.
Cookies do not cause any damage to your PC and do not contain viruses. They cannot read data from your hard drive, cannot determine your email address, and cannot send emails unnoticed. Furthermore, cookies cannot be read by other web servers.
We use so-called “session cookies,” which are stored only for the duration of your visit to one of our web pages. We also use “permanent cookies” to store information about visitors who repeatedly access our website. The content of a permanent cookie is limited to an identification number. Name, IP address, etc., are not stored. No individual user profiles are created based on your usage behavior. These cookies are used in particular to make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure. For example, they allow us to display information tailored to your interests. Their sole purpose is to adapt our services as closely as possible to your needs and to make browsing our website as convenient as possible.
You can disable the storage of cookies in your browser via the help function in the menu bar, restrict them to certain websites, or configure your browser to notify you as soon as a cookie is sent. You can also delete cookies from your PC’s hard drive at any time.

If you do not confirm your registration, your information will be automatically deleted after one month. We also store the IP addresses used and the times of registration and confirmation. This serves the purpose of verifying your registration and, if necessary, clarifying any misuse of your personal data.
The only mandatory information required to receive the newsletter is your email address. Providing additional data is voluntary and allows us to address you personally. After your confirmation, we store your email address to send you our newsletter regularly. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR.
You can withdraw your consent to receive the newsletter at any time with effect for the future by using the link provided in the newsletter.

9. Use of Social Media Plugins
9.1 We have integrated plugins from various social networks on our website so that you can use the interactive features of the social networks you use directly on our site. These plugins provide different functions, the scope and content of which are determined by the operators of the respective social networks.
Please note that we are not the providers of these social networks and have no influence on how these service providers process data. The plugin provider stores data collected about you as usage profiles and uses them for advertising, market research, and/or the tailored design of its website. Such evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to display personalized advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website.
You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles; to exercise this right, you must contact the respective plugin provider.
Through these plugins, we offer you the opportunity to interact with social networks and other users, allowing us to improve our services and make them more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for using the plugins is Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR.
Data is transferred regardless of whether you have an account with the plugin provider or are logged in. If you are logged in, your data collected on our website will be directly assigned to your user account. For example, if you click a link button, the plugin provider stores this information in your user account and shares it publicly with your contacts. We recommend that you regularly log out of social networks after using them.

Our website includes tools from companies based in the USA. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to servers in the USA. Please note that the USA is not considered a safe third country under EU data protection law. US companies may be required to provide personal data to security authorities without you being able to take legal action against this.

We have no influence over these processing activities.
