Privacy Policy
1. General Information and Principles of Data Processing
We are pleased that you are visiting our website. Protecting your privacy and your personal data—known as personal information—when you use our website is a matter of great importance to us.
According to Article 4(1) of the GDPR, personal data refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your first and last name, your address, your phone number, your email address, and your IP address.
Data for which no connection to your person can be established—such as through anonymization—is not considered personal data. Processing (e.g., collection, storage, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure, erasure, or destruction) pursuant to Article 4(2) of the GDPR always requires a legal basis or your consent. Processed personal data must be deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and there are no longer any legally required retention obligations to be observed.
Here you will find information about how we handle your personal data when you visit our website. In order to provide the functions and services of our website, it is necessary for us to collect personal data about you. We also explain to you the nature and scope of the respective data processing, the purpose and the corresponding legal basis, and the respective retention period.
This privacy policy applies only to this website. It does not apply to other websites to which we merely link via a hyperlink. We cannot assume any responsibility for the confidential handling of your personal data on these third-party websites, as we have no influence over whether these companies comply with data protection regulations. Please refer directly to these websites for information on how these companies handle your personal data.

3. Provision and Use of the Website / Server Log Files

6. Contact form
Our website offers you the option of contacting us via a contact form. In doing so, you provide your name, company, e-mail address, optionally your website, and your message.
Unlike many contact forms, your information is not transmitted to or stored on our servers.

We only receive your information once you actively send that e-mail yourself — as an ordinary e-mail, see the section "Contact via e-mail" below.
No server-side processing or storage of your form entries by us takes place before you send the e-mail yourself.
7. Contact Options via Email
Our website offers you the option of contacting us via email.
a) Nature and scope of data processing

You have given your explicit consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR,
this is permitted by law and necessary under Article 6(1)b) of the GDPR to fulfill a contractual relationship with you or to take steps prior to entering into a contract,
there is a legal obligation to disclose the data under Article 6(1)c) of the GDPR. We are legally obligated to transfer data to government authorities, e.g., tax authorities, social security agencies, health insurance providers, regulatory agencies, and law enforcement agencies.
the disclosure is necessary under Article 6(1)f) of the GDPR to safeguard legitimate business interests, as well as to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims, and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in the non-disclosure of your data.
pursuant to Article 28 of the GDPR, we engage external service providers, known as processors, in the processing of your data, who are obligated to handle your data with due care.
We use such service providers in the following areas:
IT
Logistics
Telecommunications
When transferring data to external entities in third countries, i.e., outside the EU or the EEA, we ensure that these entities handle your personal data with the same care as within the EU or the EEA. We only transfer personal data to third countries where the European Commission has confirmed an adequate level of protection or where we ensure the careful handling of personal data through contractual agreements or other appropriate safeguards.
9. Tracking and analytics tools
We do not currently use any web analytics, tracking or social media tools on this website. Should this change in the future, this privacy policy will be updated accordingly.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and treating your personal data confidentially. To this, we implement comprehensive technical and organizational security measures, which are regularly reviewed and adapted to technological advancements. This includes, among other things, the use of recognized encryption methods (SSL or TLS). However, data disclosed in unencrypted form, for example, via unencrypted email, may be read by third parties. We have no control over this. It is the responsibility of the respective users to protect the data they provide against misuse through encryption or other means.
