You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. Each time you access our website, usage data is transmitted through your Internet browser and stored in log data (server log files). These stored data include, for example, the name of the page accessed, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider. These data serve exclusively to guarantee the trouble-free operation of our website and to improve our services. It is not possible to assign this data to a specific person.

Collection and processing when using the contact form
When using the contact form, we collect your personal data (name, e-mail address, message text) only to the extent provided by you. Data processing serves the purpose of establishing contact. By sending your message, you consent to the processing of the transmitted data. The processing takes place on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO with your consent.
You can revoke your consent at any time by notifying us without affecting the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent until revocation. We will only use your e-mail address to process your enquiry. Your data will then be deleted if you have not consented to further processing and use.

When a user visits a website, a cookie may be stored on the user’s operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic string of characters that enables the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is called up again. We use cookies for the purpose of making our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Furthermore, cookies enable our systems to recognize your browser even after a page change and to offer you services. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For these it is necessary that the browser is recognized also after a page change.

We also use cookies on our website for the purpose of enabling an analysis of the surfing behaviour of our site visitors.

Furthermore, we use cookies for the purpose of subsequently addressing page visitors on other websites with targeted, interest-related advertising.

The processing is based on § 15 (3) TMG and Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO for the legitimate interest in the above mentioned purposes.
The data collected from you in this way will be pseudonymised by technical precautions. It is therefore no longer possible to assign the data to your person. The data will not be stored together with other personal data.

Use of Google Analytics
On our website we use the web analysis service Google Analytics of Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). Data processing serves the purpose of analysing this website and its visitors. Google will use the information obtained on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google.
Google Analytics uses cookies, which enable an analysis of the use of the website by you. The information generated by the cookies about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. IP anonymisation is activated on this website. As a result, your IP address will be shortened by Google in advance within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Your data may be transferred to the USA. The European Commission has issued an adequacy decision for data transfers to the USA. Processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO out of a legitimate interest in the need-based and targeted design of the website. For reasons arising from your particular situation, you have the right at any time to object to this processing of your personal data based on Art. 6 (1) f DSGVO.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate technical settings in your browser software; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link [https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en]. You can set an opt-out cookie to prevent Google Analytics from collecting this data across all devices. Opt-out cookies prevent the future collection of your data when you visit this website. You must perform the opt-out on all systems and devices used for this to be fully effective. If you click here, the opt-out cookie will be set: Disable Google Analytics.

Using Google Adwords Conversion Tracking
On our website we use the online advertising program “Google AdWords” and in this context conversion tracking. Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). When you click on an ad placed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is placed on your computer. These cookies have a limited validity, do not contain any personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not expired, Google and we may recognize that you clicked on the ad and were directed to that page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. As a result, there is no way that cookies can be tracked through AdWords customer websites.
The information collected through the Conversion cookie is used to compile conversion statistics. We learn the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were directed to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive information that personally identifies users. The processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO for the legitimate interest in targeted advertising and the analysis of the effect and efficiency of this advertising.
For reasons arising from your particular situation, you have the right at any time to object to this processing of your personal data based on Art. 6 (1) f DSGVO.
For this purpose, you can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate technical settings in your browser software. However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
You can also deactivate personalised advertising for you in the Google advertising settings. In addition, you can deactivate the use of cookies by third parties by calling up the deactivation page of the Network Advertising Initiative at https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ and implementing the further information on opt-out mentioned there.
Further information and Google’s privacy policy can be found at: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/

Duration of storage
After complete processing of the contract, the data will initially be stored for the duration of the warranty period, then under consideration of statutory, in particular tax and commercial retention periods and then deleted after expiry of the period if you have not agreed to further processing and use.

Rights of the person concerned
If the legal requirements are met, you are entitled to the following rights pursuant to Art. 15 to 20 DSGVO: right to information, to correction, to deletion, to restriction of processing, to data transferability.
Furthermore, Art. 21 (1) DSGVO entitles you to object to processing based on Art. 6 (1) f DSGVO and to processing for the purpose of direct advertising.

Please contact us if you wish. You will find the contact details in our imprint.

Right of appeal to the supervisory authority
