2) Data Collection When Visiting Our Website

2.1 When you use our website for informational purposes only, i.e., without registering or otherwise providing information, we only collect data that your browser transmits to our server (so-called "server log files"). When you access our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display the website to you:

• The website you visited

• Date and time of access

• Amount of data transferred in bytes

• Referrer URL from which you came to the site

• Browser used

• Operating system used

• IP address used (possibly anonymized)

Processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. Data will not be passed on or used otherwise. However, we reserve the right to retrospectively check the server log files if there are concrete indications of illegal use.

2.2 For security reasons and to protect the transmission of personal data and other confidential content (e.g., orders or inquiries to the controller), this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the "https://" and the lock symbol in your browser's address bar.

3) Cookies

To make the visit to our website attractive and to enable certain functions, we use cookies, which are small text files stored on your device. Some cookies are deleted automatically after you close the browser ("session cookies"), while others remain on your device longer to save settings ("persistent cookies"). You can view the storage duration in your browser's cookie settings.

If personal data is processed by individual cookies, this is done under Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR for contract execution, Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR for consent, or Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR for our legitimate interest in a functional and user-friendly website.

You can configure your browser to inform you about cookie setting and decide individually or block cookies entirely. Please note that disabling cookies may limit website functionality.

4) Contact

When contacting us (e.g., via contact form or email), personal data is collected. The data collected via contact forms is indicated on the respective form. These data are only used to process your request and technical administration.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest in responding to your inquiry (Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR). If your contact aims at concluding a contract, Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR also applies. Your data is deleted after your request has been fully processed, unless legal retention obligations apply.

5) Tools and Others

Cookie Consent Tool

This website uses a cookie consent tool to obtain valid user consent for cookies requiring consent. This interactive interface allows you to grant or deny consent for specific cookies or cookie-based applications. Only cookies with consent are set.

The tool uses technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. No personal data is processed by default. If personal data (like IP addresses) is processed for logging or storing consent, this is based on our legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR) and legal obligations (Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR).

A data processing agreement with the provider ensures protection against unauthorized data sharing. More details and settings are available on our website’s consent tool interface.

6.2 Right to Object

If we process your personal data based on legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR), you may object to this processing at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation.

If you object, we will stop processing unless we can demonstrate overriding legitimate grounds or the processing serves legal claims.

For direct marketing, you may object at any time without stating reasons; processing will then cease immediately.

7) Data Retention Period

The duration of storage depends on the legal basis, the purpose of processing, and applicable legal retention periods (e.g., commercial and tax law).

Data processed on the basis of consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR) is stored until consent is withdrawn.

Data processed for contract performance (Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR) is deleted after the purpose ends unless retention periods or legitimate interests apply.

Data processed on legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR) is retained until objection or overriding grounds exist.

Data for direct marketing is stored until objection.

Otherwise, data is deleted when no longer necessary for the processing purpose.
