1. Processing of Personal Data
We process your personal data on the website as follows:
When visiting the Website:
When visiting our website our host provider protocols, for every access to its servers, so-called “log file”-data like e.g. the name of the retrieved website, previously visited website (“referrer” URL), product and version information of employed browser and operating system, retrieving provider, date and time of access, employed search engines, country of access, transferred data volume, name of downloaded files and IP address.
Legal basis for the respective processing of data is article 6 para. 1 GDPR. Our legitimate interest in the storage of logfile data is based on the provision of system security including without limitation the reconnaissance of abuse. The IP address will be deleted within max. 7 days, unless it is required for a longer period of time due to a security related event, e.g. for purposes of reconnaissance or evidence.
There is no right of revocation regarding our a.m. processing of your personal data because the a.m. compelling legitimate grounds for our processing of your personal data override your interests, rights and freedoms and because our processing of your personal data also serves the purpose of a potential establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
Contact Enquiries
When you send us a contact enquiry, for example through an email address provided on our website, or by using contact or download forms, we store and process personal data that we need to respond to your enquiry, such as name, address, e-mail address.
The legal basis for processing your personal data in connection with contact enquiries is Article 6 (1) b) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We store your personal data in connection with contact enquiries for as long as is necessary to respond to the enquiry.
The provision of this personal data is not prescribed by law or contract, and it is not necessary for the purpose of entering into a contract. However, if you decide not to disclose this data to us, we will not be able to respond to your contact enquiry or – if you have provided only limited contact details – we will not be able to respond to it via all available communication channels.
Registrations and subscriptions / Orders
When you register for any kind of service, including free subscription for electronic communication such as newsletters, updates and other kinds of notifications through a contact or download form, or place an order with us we process the personal data that we need to perform a contract with you, or to take steps at your request prior to entering into the contract, such as name, address, e-mail address, date of birth, chosen user name and payment details. Personal data which is collected during the registration, subscription, or order process is stored for as long as it takes to perform the contract (where applicable including the provision of a customer account), and/or to take steps at your request prior to entering into the contract, and/or to meet warranty, guarantee or similar obligations, and/or to comply with statutory archiving requirements. We send newsletters and other electronic communication only with the consent of the recipient or a legal permission. The registration through froms on our website requires a “double-opt-in procedure”, which requires that you confirm your subscription. This is necessary to prevent users from signing up using third persons’ personal information without their consent. To document this process as legal proof, our website stores the times and IP address during this process.
The legal bases for processing the personal data collected in connection with registrations and subscriptions, or orders are Article 6 (1) b) and Article 6 (1) c) of the General Data Protection Regulation. The provision of this personal data is not prescribed by law or contract. However, it is necessary to enter into the contract, i.e. to complete the registration or order, if the data is mandatory (as opposed to voluntarily) in the registration/ order process.
We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
