Welcome to our website and thank you for your interest in our company.
In connection with your visit to our website, the confidentiality and integrity of your personal data, i.e. information, which is related to an identified or identifiable natural person, is very important to us and we set great store by the trustful business relationship with our customers and interested parties.
To a degree, we require personal data in order to perform our services. It is not our aim to collect, process or use personal data beyond the degree necessary. In particular, we do not sell data to third parties.
With this data protection note, we wish to give you as a visitor to our website, a customer or user, an overview about when we collect and process personal data, when we disclose such data to third parties for a specific purpose and how we use personal data.
We shall be happy to answer further questions you may have about data protection. Please use our contact details below in section 1 for this purpose. 

In Germany, privacy laws are governed by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which came into effect in May 2018. The GDPR applies to all companies that process the personal data of EU citizens, regardless of where the company is based.
Under the GDPR, companies are required to inform individuals about the personal data that is being collected and processed, the purpose for which the data is being used, and the rights that individuals have in relation to their personal data. Companies must also obtain explicit consent from individuals before collecting, processing, and sharing their personal data.
Additionally, companies are required to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, and destruction. Companies must also appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO) to ensure compliance with the GDPR.
Penalties for non-compliance with the GDPR can include fines of up to 4% of a company's global annual revenue or €20 million (whichever is higher).

II. General information about data processing

1. Processing of personal data. We generally process personal data of our users only to the extent that we require these data to provide a functional website (Internet page) as well as our content and services. As a rule, personal data are only processed after the user has given his consent. An exception to this are cases in which it is not possible to obtain prior consent for factual reasons, and when processing of the data is necessary or permitted in accordance with statutory requirements.

2. Purpose of processing and type of processed data are processed in order to make our website available online with its functions, content and services. We want your visit to our website to be as pleasant and convenient as possible. You should have the opportunity of getting an overview about us and our range of services and of being able to communicate with us. We want to be able to answer your queries and maintain contact with you. To this end, the data serve to optimize our website and the convenience while you are using it. The data also serve to ensure the functional efficiency of our website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems and their stability. To achieve and fulfil these goals, we collect the required data for this purpose. Apart from user and communication data, which are automatically recorded by our system, these are also contact data such as email addresses to the extent you wish to disclose these data to us voluntarily.

3. Legal basis for the processing of personal data. When we seek to obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing procedure of personal data, the legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) lit. a) EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Insofar as the processing of personal data is required for fulfilling an agreement with the data subject, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR. This also applies for processing procedures necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, as well as to respond to inquiries.
Art. 6 (1) lit. c) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing personal data required to fulfil a legal obligation of our company.
Art. 6 (1) lit. d) GDPR serves as the legal basis if the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person make it necessary to process personal data.
Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing data if this is required to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, and if such legitimate interest overrides the interests and fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject.

4. Storage period and erasure of data As soon as the purpose for the storage no longer exists, personal data of the data subject shall be erased or blocked. If we as data controllers are subject to legal provisions and other regulations which stipulate such, storage of data may be required beyond this point. Erasure or blocking of data shall also take place if a legally prescribed storage period and one that applies to us expires, unless further storage is necessary to conclude or fulfil an agreement.

5. Order processing and disclosure of data to third parties We only grant to others such as order processors or other third parties access to personal data based on legal permission (e.g. if you have given your consent, if a legal obligation exists, if such obligation is necessary to fulfil a contract, or a legitimate interest exists, such as laid down in Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR, e.g. when using web hosts for secure provisioning of our website).
If we engage third parties to process personal data, this shall take place based on an order processing agreement on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR.
