1) Purpose of data processing

Every time our website is accessed or a file which is stored on our website is retrieved, these actions are logged. This information is saved for system-related and statistical purposes. Logged information: name of the retrieved file, date and time of retrieval, transferred data volume, confirmation of successful retrieval, web browser and requesting domain. The use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. Should we gather any personal data on our pages (for example name, address or email address), this will always, as far as possible, be carried out on a voluntary basis. This especially applies if a contract is to be entered into between you and us or provisions of such an agreement are to be specified or changed, a request for an offer or contact is made or we receive your registration to receive promotional material (e.g. email newsletter, request for information material etc.). In such cases, we collect and use your personal data to the extent necessary for these purposes. You can withdraw your consent to this usage with effect for the future at any time. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express agreement. You can also withdraw your consent to this at any time. A short email to us is sufficient to withdraw your consent.

We will only transfer your personal data to third parties if this is required by law, unavoidable for a business process or a precondition or if you have given your consent.

We hereby advise you that the transferring of data on the Internet can be subject to security risks. It is not possible to guarantee that data will be fully protected against access by third parties.

2) Saving of cookies

At the present time no cookies are saved by our website on your computer.

3) Security information

We make every effort to use all available technical and organisational measures so that your personal data is saved in such a way that it is not accessible to third parties. As we cannot guarantee complete data security when communicating via any electronic communication channel, we therefore recommend that you send confidential information by post.  

4) Legal basis

The legal basis for the processing of your data is Article 9 (2) lit. h) of the GDPR in conjunction with Section 22 (1) no. 1 lit. b) of the German Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz). If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask us.

5) Right of information

You have the right to receive information regarding personal data that is stored about you. You can also request that any incorrect data be corrected. Subject to certain conditions, you may also have the right for your data to be deleted, the right to restrict the processing of your data and the right to data portability. Your data will be processed on the basis of the statutory regulations. Only in exceptional cases do we require your consent. In such cases, you have the right to withdraw your consent to the future processing of your data. You furthermore have the right to submit a complaint to the responsible data protection supervisory authority if you think that your personal data is not being processed in accordance with the law. Upon written request, we will provide information about which data we have saved about you (e.g. name, address). If you have any questions about the processing of your personal data, please write or contact us by phone on +49 40 9999 25 70.

6) Google Analytics extension

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (‘Google’).

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purposes of evaluating your usage of the website, compiling a website activity report and providing further services relating to the website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address that your browser transmits within the scope of Google Analytics will not be associated with any other data held by Google. You can prevent cookies from being saved by activating the corresponding software settings for your browser; please note, however, that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can furthermore prevent the data relating to your usage of the website (including your IP address) that is generated by the cookie from being tracked and processed by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin which is available under the following link http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
