We take the protection of your personal details seriously.
We are delighted that you are visiting our website, and thank you for your interest in our company. The trust that is placed in us is extremely important to us, and that obliges us to handle your data carefully and protect it from misuse.
To ensure that you feel safe when visiting our website, protecting your privacy when processing personal details is an important concern for us.
In compliance with the current legal situation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we would like to inform you in this privacy policy when we store what data and how we use it.
Any data you send us in the contact form will be stored on our servers as part of the data backup. We will only use your data to process your request. It will not be passed on to third parties.
PERSONAL DATA
Personal data is data about you. It includes your name, address and email address. You can visit our websites without telling us who you are. When you visit our website, our web servers will store the IP of your internet service provider, the website from which your are visiting us, the operating system you use to access our website, the URL you are visiting on our website, and the date and duration of your visit. This information is absolutely necessary for the technical transmission of the website and the secure operation of the server. There is no personalised evaluation of this data.
This anonymised data is stored – separately from personal data – on secure systems and cannot be assigned to individual persons. This means that your personal data remains protected at all times.
In some cases, we may need your name and address as well as some other items of information in order to provide you with the service you have requested.
The same will apply if we provide you with information material on request or if we respond to your enquiries. We will always make you aware of this in these cases. We also only store the data that you have provided us with automatically or voluntarily.
When you use one of our services, we usually only collect the data that is necessary to provide you with our service. We may ask you for further information, but this is voluntary. As a matter of principle, we only ever process our users’ personal data if this is necessary for us to provide a functional website along with our content and services. Our users’ personal data is usually only processed with their consent. An exception to this applies in cases where it is not possible to obtain prior consent for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.
DATA DELETION AND STORAGE PERIOD
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for which it was stored no longer applies. In addition, storage may take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which the Controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.
AUTOMATICALLY STORED NON-PERSONAL DATA
When you visit our website, we store certain information for administrative and technical reasons. This consists of: the type and version of the browser used, the date and time of access, and the IP address.
This data is anonymised and only used for statistical purposes or to improve our Internet and online services.
This anonymised data is stored – separately from personal data – on secure systems and cannot be assigned to individual persons. This means that your personal data remains protected at all times.
