DATA PROTECTION

We are pleased that you are interested in our website. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below we provide you with detailed information about how we handle your data.

STORAGE OF ACCESS DATA IN SERVER LOG FILES

You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. We only save access data in so-called server log files, such as the name of the requested file, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider. This data is evaluated solely to ensure trouble-free operation of the site and to improve our offering and does not allow us to draw any conclusions about you personally.

We collect personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us as part of your order, when you contact us (e.g. via contact form or email) or when you open a customer account. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide to process the contract and handle your inquiries. After the contract has been fully processed or your customer account has been deleted, your data will be blocked for further use and deleted after the tax and commercial retention periods have expired, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use the data in any other way that is permitted by law and about which we will inform you below. Your customer account can be deleted at any time and can be done either by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a function provided for this purpose in the customer account.

DATA TRANSFER FOR CONTRACT PERFORMANCE
