The data we process includes all data provided by you in order to use the contractual or pre-contractual services required to process your request or the contract concluded between us.

Processing is limited to the data necessary and useful in response to requests and / or for the performance of the contract. The transfer of personal data to third parties takes place only if it is necessary for the purpose of providing the service or in the context of the organization of our business, to process financial accounting and to comply with legal obligations. In this case, only the data necessary and appropriate for the performance of the contract or financial accounting as well as for compliance with legal obligations will be provided to external service providers. The processing by us takes place in accordance with your instructions or the statutory provisions. Legal basis: The processing of personal data as well as their transfer to third parties is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. b) GDPR and serves the fulfillment of the contract between you and us. Otherwise, we only pass on data to third parties if there is a legal obligation, Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. c) GDPR or if there is a legitimate interest, Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f). GDPR. This is the case, for example, when it is necessary to pursue our claims. Deletion: data deletion takes place as soon as the data is no longer required to fulfill contractual or legal care obligations as well as to fulfill any guarantees and comparable obligations. This does not affect your statutory detention obligations.

We use the services to ensure our online presence of the Internet Service Provider on whose server the website is stored (hosting) and which makes our website available on the Internet. Here, the internet service provider processes contact details, content data, contract data, usage data, inventory data as well as meta and communication data on our behalf. Legal basis: the internet service provider processes the above-mentioned data on our behalf, Art. 28 GDPR. The data processing takes place on the basis of our legitimate interest in the efficient and secure provision of our website, Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

If you use our website for informational purposes only, our internet service provider will only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to its server. These are the following data:

  • IP address

Duration: the above data regarding the provision of our website will be stored until consent to processing is withdrawn.

Data transmission to third countries

The adoption of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has created a single basis for data protection in Europe. Your data will therefore be processed mainly by companies requested by the GDPR. If the processing is carried out through third party services outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, they must comply with the special requirements set out in Art. 44 et seq. GDPR. This means that that the processing is carried out on the basis of special guarantees, such as an officially recognized level of data protection in the EU or compliance with officially recognized special contractual obligations, the so-called “standard contractual conditions”.
