Data Protection

Personal data is data about your person. This includes for example your name, your address and your email address. You do not have to disclose any personal data in order to visit our website.

If you contact us with inquiries or matters, we collect information that you provide to us. Therefore, please take note that you only send us personal data that we need to be able to answer your inquiry or matter or that you provide to us on a voluntary basis. If you contact us, we will save a copy of your correspondence with us.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1(a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for this.

If we process personal data that is required to fulfil a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1(b) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for this. This also applies to the processing of personal data that is required to carry out pre-contractual measures.

If personal data is required to fulfil a legal obligation, the processing of this data is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1(c) of the GDPR.

If the processing of personal data is necessary to safeguard the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, the processing of personal data takes place on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1(d) of the GDPR.

If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the person concerned do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1(f) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for the data processing.

Duration of data storage

If you have transmitted personal data to us, we will delete the data after the purpose of saving your data has been achieved, unless this conflicts with commercial or tax law requirements.

When you visit our website, we save certain information for administrative and technical reasons. These are: the type and version of the browser used, the date and time of access and the IP address.

We integrate videos using YouTube. The videos were embedded in the extended data protection mode. Like most websites, YouTube also uses cookies to collect information about visitors to their website. YouTube uses these, among other things, to record video statistics, to avoid fraud and to improve user-friendliness. This also leads to a connection to the Google DoubleClick network. When you play the video, this may trigger further data processing activities. We have no influence on this matter. You can find further information about data protection at YouTube in their data protection declaration at: http://www.youtube.com/t/privacy_at_youtube
