Unfortunately, it is in the nature of things that these explanations sound very technical, but we have tried to describe the most important things as simply and clearly as possible when creating them.

AUTOMATIC DATA STORAGE #

When you visit websites, certain information is automatically created and stored, including on this website.

When you visit our website, as you are doing right now, our web server (the computer on which this website is stored) automatically stores information such as.

  • the address (URL) of the visited web page,
  • browser and browser version,
  • the operating system used,
  • the address (URL) of the previously visited page (referrer URL),
  • the host name and IP address of the device from which access is made,
  • as well as date and time

in files (web server log files).

As a rule, web server log files are stored for two weeks and then automatically deleted. We do not pass on this data, but cannot exclude the possibility that this data may be viewed in the event of unlawful behavior.

The legal basis, according to Article 6(1) f DSGVO (lawfulness of processing), is that there is a legitimate interest in enabling the error-free operation of this website by collecting web server log files.

Your session data is not being collected.

Personal data that you provide to us electronically on this website, such as your name, email address, address or other personal details when submitting a form, will only be used by us, together with the time and IP address, for the purpose stated in each case, stored securely and not passed on to third parties.

We will therefore only use your personal data to process the services and products offered on this website. We will not disclose your personal data without your consent, but we cannot exclude the possibility that this data may be accessed in the event of unlawful conduct.

If you send us personal data by e-mail - thus away from this website - we cannot guarantee secure transmission and protection of your data. We recommend that you never send confidential data unencrypted by e-mail.

According to Article 6 (1) a DSGVO (lawfulness of processing), the legal basis is that you give us consent to process the data you have entered. You can revoke this consent at any time - an informal email is sufficient, you can find our contact details in the imprint.

By using TLS (Transport Layer Security), an encryption protocol for secure data transmission on the Internet, we can ensure the protection of confidential data. You can recognize the use of this protection of data transmission by the small lock symbol in the upper left corner of the browser and the use of the scheme https (instead of http) as part of our internet address.
