We collect, use and store your personal data exclusively within the framework of the provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act of the Federal Republic of Germany. In the following, we explain the type, scope and purpose of data collection and how it is used.
Data collection and processing
A record is kept of every visit to our website and every file accessed on this website. This information is stored for internal system-related and statistical purposes.
The following information is logged: name of the file retrieved, date and time of access, volume of data transferred, notification of successful retrieval, web browser and requesting domain. In addition, the IP addresses of the requesting computers are logged.
Further personal data is only collected if the user of the website and/or customer provides information voluntarily, for example when submitting an inquiry, registering with the website, concluding a contract, or by means of personal browser settings.
Our website uses cookies. A cookie is a text file that is sent to and temporarily stored on the hard drive of the website user and/or customer when they visit a website. If our website’s server is called up again by the user of the website and/or customer, the browser of the user of the website and/or customer sends the previously received cookie back to the server.
The server can then evaluate the information obtained by this procedure in various ways. Cookies can be used, for example, to control the insertion of advertisements or to facilitate the navigation of a website. If the user of the website and/or customer wishes to prevent the use of cookies, they can do so by making local changes to their settings in the Internet browser used on their computer, i.e. the program for opening and displaying Internet pages (e.g. Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera or Safari).
Use and disclosure of personal data
Insofar as the user of our website has provided personal data, we will only use this data for the purpose of answering the inquiries of the user of the website and/or customer, for processing contracts concluded with the user of the website and/or customer, and for technical administration. Personal data will only be passed on or otherwise transmitted by us to third parties if this is necessary for the purpose of contract processing or billing, or if the user of the website and/or customer has previously provided consent. The user of the website and/or customer has the right to revoke their consent with future effect at any time.
Stored personal data can be deleted if the user of the website and/or customer revokes consent for its storage, if their knowledge is no longer necessary for fulfilment of the purpose intended by the storage, or if storage is not permissible for other legal reasons. Data for billing and accounting purposes is not affected by a request for deletion.
Right of access / Right to information
Upon written request, we will inform the user of the website and/or the customer about the personal data stored about him/her. The inquiry must be addressed to the address indicated in the imprint of the web page.
