2. General Information on Data Processing

The protection of your personal data is very important to us. We process personal data collected when you use our website exclusively in accordance with applicable data protection regulations, in particular the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).

3. Hosting and Server Log Files

This website is operated by an external hosting provider. Personal data collected on this website is stored on the servers of the hosting provider, who acts as a data processor in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.

Each time you access our website, information is automatically stored in server log files that your browser transmits to us:

  • IP address of the requesting device

  • Date and time of access

  • Name and URL of the requested file

  • Website from which the request originated (referrer URL)

  • Browser used and, if applicable, operating system of your device

This data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) to ensure the technical functionality, security, and optimization of our website. This data is not combined with other data sources. The data is automatically deleted no later than 30 days.

4. SSL/TLS Encryption

This website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons. You can recognize an encrypted connection when the browser address bar changes from "http://" to "https://" and displays a lock icon. When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

5. Contact Form

When you use our contact form, the following data is collected:

  • Company (required)

  • Name (required)

  • Email address (required)

  • Phone number (optional)

  • Your message (required)

  • Callback request (optional)

Processing is carried out to handle your inquiry on the basis of pre-contractual measures or for contract performance (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). If your inquiry is not aimed at concluding a contract, processing is based on our legitimate interest in responding to your inquiry (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

The data is transmitted to us via email and stored for processing your inquiry and for any follow-up questions. We do not disclose this data to third parties. We delete the data as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected – usually after our communication has ended, but no later than 3 years, unless statutory retention obligations apply.

6. Google Maps

On our website, we use the Google Maps mapping service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). The map is only loaded after your explicit consent. Before loading, we display a notice and a placeholder image. Data is only transmitted to Google when you click on "Load map".

When using Google Maps, your IP address and information about your location, among other data, are transmitted to Google. Data may also be transferred to the USA. Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF), ensuring an adequate level of data protection (Art. 45 GDPR).

Data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time by reloading the page and choosing not to load the map again.
