Collection of general information when you visit our website

Type and purpose of processing:

When you access our website, i.e. when you do not register or otherwise submit information, information of a general nature is automatically collected. This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet service provider, your IP address and similar information.

It is processed in particular for the following purposes:

• To ensure a smooth connection to the website
• To ensure the smooth use of our website
• To evaluate system security and stability

We do not use your data to draw conclusions about your person. Information of this kind is anonymised by us and statistically evaluated, if necessary, in order to optimise our website and the technology behind it.

Legal basis and legitimate interest:

Processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website.

Recipients

Recipients of the data may be technical service providers who act as processors for the operation and maintenance of our website.

Storage

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. This is generally the case for data used to provide the website once the respective session has ended.

Provision mandatory or required:

The provision of the aforementioned personal data is neither required by law nor contractually required. However, without the IP address, the service and functionality of our website cannot be guaranteed. In addition, individual services may not be available or may be restricted. For this reason, objection is excluded.

Contact form

The data you enter will be stored for the purpose of individual communication with you. For this purpose, it is necessary to provide a valid email address and your name. This is used to assign the enquiry and subsequently respond to it. The provision of further data is optional.

Legal basis

The data entered in the contact form is processed on the basis of a legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

By providing the contact form, we would like to make it easy for you to contact us. The information you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing your enquiry and for possible follow-up questions.

If you contact us to request a quote, the data entered in the contact form will be processed for the purpose of implementing pre-contractual measures (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR)

.

Recipients

The recipients of the data are, where applicable, contract processors.

Storage

Data will be deleted no later than 6 months after processing of the enquiry.

If a contractual relationship is established, we are subject to the statutory retention periods under the German Commercial Code (HGB) and will delete your data after these periods have expired.

Provision mandatory or required:

The provision of your personal data is voluntary. However, we can only process your enquiry if you provide us with your name, email address and the reason for your enquiry.
