3. Data Collection on Our Website

Cookies

The internet pages partly use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are filed on your computer and stored by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies". They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, to prevent the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, as well as to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions that you wish to use (e.g. shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of his services. If other cookies (such as cookies for analysing your browsing behaviour) are stored, they will be treated separately in this privacy policy.

Server Log Files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

• Browser type and browser version
  
• Operating system used
  
• Referrer URL
  
• Host name of the accessing computer
  
• Time of the server request
  
• IP address
  

A merging of this data with other data sources will not be undertaken.

The basis for the data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR, which allows the processing of data to fulfil a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us in order to process the request and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this information without your consent.

The processing of the data entered into the contact form is therefore exclusively based on your consent (Article 6 para. 1 [a] GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal message by email to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

The information you provide in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or until the purpose of the data storage ceases to exist (e.g. after processing your request). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Contact

When contacting the provider (e.g. by email), the information of the user is stored in order to process the request as well as in case any follow-up questions arise.

Registration on this Website

You can register on our website to use additional features on the site. We will only use the data entered for the purpose of using the respective offer or service for which you have registered. The mandatory information requested when registering must be given in full. Otherwise, we will reject the registration.

For important changes, such as the scope of the offer or for technical changes, we use the email address specified during registration in order to inform you in this way.

The processing of the data entered during the registration is therefore done based on your consent (Article 6 para. 1 [a] GDPR). You can revoke a previously given consent at any time. An informal message by email to us is sufficient. The legality of the already completed data processing remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data collected during registration will be stored by us as long as you are registered on our website and will subsequently be deleted. Legal retention periods remain unaffected.

Facebook thus receives the information that you have visited our site with your IP address.

As a result, Facebook can assign the visit of our pages to your user account.

The processing of the data entered into the newsletter registration form is exclusively based on your consent (Article 6 para 1 [a] GDPR). The granted consent for storing the data, the email address, as well as for their use for sending the newsletter can be revoked at any time, e.g. via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The legality of the already completed data processing remains unaffected by the revocation.
