2. What sources and data do we use?
We process personal data that we receive from you as part of your use of our website and, if applicable, our business relationship.
For purely informational use of the website, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. When you visit our website, we collect the following access data, which are technically necessary for us to display our website to you and to ensure stability and security.

3. Why do we process your data (purpose of the processing) and on what legal basis do we do so?
We process personal data in accordance with the provisions of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) for the following purposes and on the basis of the following statutes:
Purpose
Legal basis
If you have given us your consent to the processing of personal data for certain purposes, in particular the establishment of contact (e.g. via our contact form or via e-mail for processing and handling the inquiry), the legality of this processing is given on the basis of your consent. Consent may be revoked at any time. Please note that the revocation will only take effect for the future. Processing that took place before the revocation is not affected by this.
Consent, Art. 6 Sec. 1a GDPR
When contacting us (via contact form or e-mail), your details will be processed in addition to any consent given for processing the contact enquiry and its processing, also on the basis of the implementation of pre-contractual measures, Art. 6 Sec. 1b GDPR.
Execution of pre-contractual measures upon request of the person, Art. 6 Sec. 1b GDPR
We process your access data (see above under point 2) to protect our legitimate interests or those of third parties. In particular, we pursue the following legitimate interests:
Ensuring IT security, in particular that of the website;
Advertising or market research and opinion polling, to the extent that you have not objected to the use of your data;
Assertion of legal claims and defense in legal disputes;
In the context of weighing up interests in order to safeguard legitimate interests, Art. 6 Sec. 1f GDPR
4. Who receives my data?
Within the company, those departments will have access to your data that they require to fulfil our contractual and legal obligations.
Processors used by us (Art. 28 GDPR) may also receive data for the above-mentioned purposes. These are companies in the categories IT services, logistics, printing services, telecommunications, consulting and sales and marketing. If we use contract processors to provide our services, we take appropriate legal precautions as well as appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure the protection of personal data in accordance with the relevant legal regulations.
Data will only be passed on to third parties within the framework of legal requirements. We only pass on user data to third parties if this is necessary, e.g. on the basis of Art. 6 Sec. 1 lit. b. GDPR for contractual purposes or on the basis of legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 Sec. 1 lit. f. GDPR to an economic and effective operation of our business or you have consented to the data transfer. In the purely informational use of the website, we do not pass on any data to third parties.
5. How long will my data be stored?
For security reasons (e.g. to investigate misuse or fraud), log file information is stored for a maximum of 4 weeks and then deleted (see point 2 above). Data whose further storage is required for evidentiary purposes are excluded from deletion until the respective incident has been ultimately clarified.
If necessary, we process and store your personal data for the duration of our business relationship, which also includes, for example, the initiation and processing of a contract with a contact form or by e-mail.
In addition, we are subject to various storage and documentation obligations, which result, among other things, from the German Commercial Code (HGB) and the Tax Code (AO). The periods for storage and documentation specified there range from two to ten years.
In the end, the storage period is also assessed according to the statutory limitation periods, which, for example, according to §§ 195 ff. of the German Civil Code (BGB) may as a rule be 3 years, but in certain cases also up to thirty years, whereby the regular statute of limitations is 3 years.
6. Will data be transferred to a third country or an international organization?
The data provided will be processed within the European Union and in the USA. Please note that for recipients of your data in countries without a adequacy resolution verified by the Commission under Article 45 GDPR, as is the case with the US, we either ensure that they are certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield (such as Google) or have agreed EU standard data protection clauses with these recipients. This is in order to protect your data and to achieve an appropriate level of protection for your personal data. You have the option of obtaining or viewing copies of the EU standard data protection clauses. If required, please contact us using the contact details given above under point 1.
7. What data protection rights do I have?
Every person effected has the right to
• Information as per Art. 15 GDPR
• Rectification as per Art. 16 GDPR
• Deletion as per Art. 17 GDPR
• Restriction of the processing as per Art. 18 GDPR as well as
• Data portability from Art. 20 GDPR.
Furthermore, you may revoke consent, effective for the future.
Beyond that, there is a right to appeal to a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR in conjunction with § 19 BDSG).
In addition, we would like to draw attention to your right to object as per Art. 21 GDPR:
Information about your right to object as per Art. 21 GDPR
You have the right to object at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation to the processing of personal data concerning you under Article 6(1)(e) GDPR (Data Processing in the Public Interest) and Article 6(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation (Data Processing on the basis of a balance of interests), including profiling based on this provision in terms of Article 4(4) GDPR, which we use for questionnaire evaluation or for promotional purposes.
If you object, we will no longer process your personal data, unless we can prove compelling reasons worthy of protection for the processing, which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
In individual cases we process your personal data for direct marketing purposes. You have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising. If you object to the processing for direct advertising purposes, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes.
The objection can be made form-free and there are no other costs than the transmission costs according to the basic tariffs.
If possible, the objection must be sent to:
