Processing Activities
Collection of General Information When Visiting Our Website
Type and Purpose of Processing
When you access our website, i.e. when you do not register or otherwise transmit information, information of a general nature is automatically collected. This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your internet service provider, your IP address, and similar data.
This data is processed in particular for the following purposes:
- To ensure a technically error-free presentation and optimization of the website
We do not use your data to draw conclusions about you personally. However, we reserve the right to subsequently review the server log files should concrete indications of unlawful use arise.
Legal Basis and Legitimate Interest
Processing takes place in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website, as well as ensuring system security and detecting misuse.
Recipients
Recipients of the data may include technical service providers who act as processors for the operation and maintenance of our website.
Storage Period
Data is stored in server log files in a form that allows identification of the data subjects for a maximum of 30 days, unless a security-relevant event occurs (e.g. a DDoS attack).
In the event of such an occurrence, server log files will be retained until the security-relevant event has been fully resolved and clarified.
Provision Required or Necessary
The provision of the aforementioned personal data is neither legally nor contractually required. However, without the IP address, the operation and functionality of our website cannot be guaranteed. Furthermore, certain services and functions may be unavailable or restricted.
Objection
Please see the information on your right to object under Art. 21 GDPR below.
Our website features a contact form that can be used to get in touch electronically. If a user makes use of this option, the data entered into the input form is transmitted to us and stored.
Contact is also possible via the email addresses provided. In this case, the personal data of the user transmitted with the email is stored. This includes the date and time the email was sent, the email address, IP addresses, and information about the servers involved in the email communication.
You may also contact us via the phone numbers provided. In doing so, we collect log data including your phone number and the duration of the call.
Regardless of the method of communication chosen, we collect the content of your inquiry. Your data is stored for the purpose of individual communication with you.
Legal Basis
The processing of the data is based on a legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Our legitimate interest in processing your data is to enable straightforward contact.
If you contact us to request a quote, the data is processed in order to carry out pre-contractual measures (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).
Recipients
Recipients of the data may include technical service providers who act as processors for the operation and maintenance of our website.
Storage Period
Data is deleted no later than six months after the inquiry has been processed.
If a contractual relationship results, we are subject to statutory retention periods. These are generally 6 or 10 years, based on requirements for proper accounting and tax law.
Provision Required or Necessary
The provision of your personal data is voluntary. However, we can only process your inquiry if you provide us with the necessary data and the reason for your inquiry.
Objection
Please see the information on your right to object under Art. 21 GDPR below.
Social Plugin (Shariff)
We use a social plugin on our website to make sharing on the social media platforms/providers listed below easier. You can recognize this functionality by the corresponding logo.
By default, these buttons are deactivated and therefore do not establish any connection to the respective provider's servers. Only once the website visitor activates the buttons — thereby giving consent to communicate with the respective provider — do the buttons become active and establish a connection (but only to the selected provider). With a second click, the website visitor can then send their recommendation to the social media platform.
We have integrated social media buttons from the following companies on our website:
Instagram
YouTube
Facebook
Information on Your Right to Object under Art. 21 GDPR
Right to Object in Individual Cases
You have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (data processing based on a balancing of interests); this also applies to profiling based on this provision within the meaning of Art. 4(4) GDPR.
If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
