Processing scope of personal data

In principle, we only gather and use personal data insofar as it is required for providing a functional website, as well as our content and services. As a rule, the gathering and use of the personal data of our users is only after consent by the user. An exception applies in cases in which the obtaining of prior consent is not possible for substantiated reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal provisions.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

If we obtain consent from the person in question for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 Par. 1 lit. a of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as a legal basis for the processing of personal data.

In the processing of personal data that is required for fulfilling a contract whose contract party is the person in question, Art. 6 Par. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as a legal basis. This also applies to processing procedures required for carrying out pre-contractual measures.

If the processing of personal data is required for fulfilling a legal obligation that our company is subject to, Art. 6 Par. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as a legal basis.

If processing is necessary to safeguard a justified interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, basic rights and basic freedoms of the affected person do not outweigh the aforementioned interest, Art. 6 Par. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

Data deletion and storage period

The data processed by us will be deleted or their processing restricted in accordance with Articles 17 and 18 GDPR. Unless expressly stated in this data protection declaration, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory storage obligations. If the data are not deleted because they are necessary for other and legally permissible purposes, their processing is restricted. This means that the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax reasons.

In accordance with statutory requirements, the records are kept in particular for 6 years in accordance with § 257 (1) HGB (trading books, inventories, opening balance sheets, annual financial statements, commercial letters, accounting documents, etc.) and for 10 years in accordance with § 147 (1) AO (books, records, management reports, accounting documents, commercial and business letters, documents relevant for taxation, etc.).

Data handling

Inasmuch as there is a possibility to enter personal or business data (e-mail addresses, names, addresses) within the Internet offering, such information is divulged on the part of the user on an expressly voluntary basis. Use of and payment for all services offered is – to the extent technically possible and reasonable – also permitted without indication of such data or with indication of anonymized data or a pseudonym. Use by third parties of contact information, such as mailing addresses, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail addresses, that is published within the context of the editorial and publishing disclosure statement or similar indications for purposes of sending information that has not expressly been requested is not permitted. We expressly reserve the right to take legal steps against the senders of so-called spam e-mail in the event of violation of this prohibition.

Security arrangements

We shall take appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk, in accordance with article 32 GDPR, taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs and the nature, scope, circumstances and purposes of processing and the different likelihood and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons; the measures shall include in particular safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical access to the data, as well as the access, input, transmission, security of availability and its separation. Furthermore, we have established procedures that guarantee the exercise of data subject rights, deletion of data and reaction to data risks. Furthermore, we already consider the protection of personal data during the development or selection of hardware, software and procedures, in accordance with the principle of data protection through technology design and data protection-friendly presettings (Art. 25 GDPR).

The security measures include in particular the encrypted transmission of data between your browser and our servers.

Cooperation with contract processors and third parties

If, in the course of our processing, we disclose data to other persons and companies (contract processors or third parties), transfer them to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this shall only take place on the basis of a legal permission (e.g. if a transfer of the data to third parties, such as payment service providers, is required for contract fulfilment pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR), if you have given your consent, if you have a legal obligation to do so or on the basis of our legitimate interests.

If we commission third parties with the processing of data on the basis of a so-called "order processing contract", this is done on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR.

Transfer to third countries

If we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if this occurs in the context of the use of third-party services or disclosure or transfer of data to third parties, this only takes place if it occurs for the fulfillment of our (pre)contractual obligations, on the basis of your consent, on the basis of a legal obligation or on the basis of our legitimate interests. Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we process or leave the data in a third country only if the special requirements of Art. 44 ff. Process GDPR. This means, for example, processing is carried out on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognized determination of a data protection level corresponding to the EU (e.g. for the USA by the "Privacy Shield") or compliance with officially recognized special contractual obligations (so-called "standard contractual clauses").

Description and scope of data processing

Every time our Internet page is accessed, our system automatically gathers data and information from the computer system of the accessing device.
The following data is hereby gathered:

Information about the browser type and the version used
Operating system of the user
Internet service provider of the user
IP address of the user
Date and time of access
Websites from which the system of the user reaches our webpage
Websites that are accessed from the user’s system through our website

The data is also stored in the log files of our system. Storage of this data together with other personal data of the user does not occur.

Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and the log files is Art. 6 Par. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Purpose of data processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable a provision of the website to the user’s device. The IP address of the user must remain stored for this purpose for the duration of the session. The storage in log files is to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data serve to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our technical information systems. There is no evaluation of the data for marketing purposes in relation to this.

Our justified interest in data processing according to Art. Par. 1 lit. f GDPR also lies in these purposes.

Duration of storage

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for attaining the purpose of its gathering. In the case of gathering data for making the website available, this is the case when the particular session has ended.

In the case of storing the data in log files, this happens at the latest after 7 days. Storage beyond this is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated, so that it is no longer possible to assign them to the accessing client.

Objection and elimination possibility

The gathering of data to make the website available and the storing of data in log files is absolutely necessary for operating the webpage. There is no possibility of objection or opt-out by the user.

Contact form and e-mail contact

There is a contact form on our webpage that can be used for electronic contact. If a user makes use of this possibility, the data entered in the input fields is transmitted to us and stored.
In addition, the IP address of the accessing device and the date and time of registration are gathered upon registration.
Your consent is obtained for the processing of the data as part of the sending procedure and you are referred to this data protection declaration.
Alternatively, it is possible to make contact via the provided e-mail address. In this case, the personal data of the user transmitted with the e-mail is stored.
If you contact us via the contact form on our webpage or by e-mail, your input data is stored for 12 months for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions.
In relation to this there is no passing on of data to third parties. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation.

In addition, we use cookies insofar as this is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation to which we are subject, in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. c GDPR and to safeguard our predominant legitimate interests in an optimised presentation of our website in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Google Analytics

If you have given your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter a GDPR, this website uses Google (Universal) Analytics for the purpose of website analysis. Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of the use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The IP address transmitted from your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. In addition, we have extended Google Analytics on this website with the code “anonymizeIP”. This guarantees the masking of your IP address, so that all data is gathered anonymously. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address conveyed to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports about website activities and to provide further services to the website operator associated with website use and Internet use. You can prevent the storing of cookies through a corresponding setting of your browser software. However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use the full scope of all the functions of this website.

In addition, you can prevent the gathering and processing by Google of the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (incl. your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

As an alternative to the browser add-on, especially for browsers on mobile end devices, you can also prevent the gathering through Google Analytics by clicking on this link. An opt-out cookie is set that prevents the future gathering of your data when visiting this website. The opt-out cookie only applies in this browser and only for our website and is deposited on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, then you must set the opt-out cookie again.

We also use Google Analytics to evaluate data from double-click cookies, as well as AdWords. If you do not want this, you can deactivate it via the ads preferences manager ( www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.

We use Google Analytics, including the functions of Universal Analytics. Universal Analytics allows us to analyse the activities on our pages across devices (e.g. for access via laptop and later via tablet). This is enabled by the pseudonym allocation of a user ID to a user. Such an allocation occurs for example if you register for a customer account or log in to your customer account. However, no personal data is forwarded to Google. Even if Universal Analytics adds additional functions to Google Analytics, it does not mean that a restriction of measures for data protection, such as IP masking or the browser add-on, is associated with it.

Google Maps

This website uses the “Google Maps and route planner” of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”) to present and calculate geographical information and arrival routes.

GDPR) content or service offerings of third parties to incorporate their content and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter uniformly referred to as "content").
