DATA Protection

Pro­tect­ing your per­sonal data is an im­por­tant part of our daily work. We would there­fore like to take this op­por­tu­nity to in­form you about the data pro­tec­tion prin­ci­ples of our web­site which are based on the reg­u­la­tions of the Fed­eral Data Pro­tec­tion Act (Datenschutzgrundverordnung (DSGVO), Bun­des­da­tenchutzge­setz, BDSG) and other legal re­quire­ments for data pro­tec­tion. Within the com­pany, data pro­tec­tion is also one of our main con­cerns. Our em­ploy­ees are ex­plic­itly com­mit­ted to se­crecy and dis­cre­tion as well as com­pli­ance with the data pro­tec­tion laws and reg­u­la­tions.

For this rea­son, we can­not ac­cept any li­a­bil­ity for dam­ages in con­nec­tion with the use of this web­site.

Per­sonal data
Per­sonal data is sub­ject to data pro­tec­tion. Ac­cord­ing to § 3 Para­graph 1 BDSG, per­sonal data means any in­for­ma­tion con­cern­ing the per­sonal or ma­te­r­ial cir­cum­stances of a par­tic­u­lar or iden­ti­fi­able nat­ural per­son. This in­cludes in­for­ma­tion such as name, ad­dress, email ad­dress or tele­phone num­ber, but, ac­cord­ing to a num­ber of court de­ci­sions, also user data like IP ad­dresses.

Use and pur­pose of data col­lec­tion
As a mat­ter of prin­ci­ple, the use of our web­site does not re­quire the entry of per­sonal data. In order to ren­der ser­vices to you we do, how­ever, re­quire your per­sonal data. When you com­mis­sion our ser­vices, we col­lect, save and use your per­sonal data only if this is nec­es­sary for the pro­vi­sion of our ser­vices and the ful­fill­ment of the con­tract. This also ap­plies when send­ing in­for­ma­tion ma­te­ri­als, draw­ing up of­fers as well as re­spond­ing to in­di­vid­ual ques­tions.

Thereby so-called cookis (text files) are used. These are stored on your com­puter and en­able us to an­a­lyze the use of the web­site. For this pur­pose, the usage in­for­ma­tion gen­er­ated by the cookie (in­clud­ing your trun­cated IP ad­dress) is trans­mit­ted to our server and stored for usage analy­sis pur­poses. Dur­ing this process, your IP ad­dress is im­me­di­ately anonymized, thus en­sur­ing your anonymity. The in­for­ma­tion gen­er­ated by the cookoie about your use of this web­site will not be dis­closed to third par­ties. This data is only col­lected for sta­tis­ti­cal pur­poses in order to con­tin­u­ously op­ti­mize our web­site.
