Your privacy is our concern
We appreciate your interest in our company and our products and services and would like you to feel secure when visiting our website with regard to the protection of your personal data. Compliance with the provisions of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO) and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) as well as the Telemedia Act (TMG) is a matter for us. We want you to know when we collect what information and how we use it. We have taken technical and organizational measures to ensure that the rules on data protection are respected both by us and by external service providers.

Personal data
Personal information is information about your identity. These include e.g. information such as name, address, telephone number or e-mail address. The use of our website does not require that you disclose personal data. However, in certain cases, we may need your name and address, as well as other information, so that we can provide the services you require. The same applies for example to the sending of information material and ordered goods or to answering individual questions. Where necessary, we will inform you accordingly. In addition, we only store and process data that you voluntarily or automatically make available to us. If you make use of our services, only such data will be collected which we need to provide the services. As far as we ask you for more information, it is voluntary information. The processing of personal data takes place exclusively for the fulfillment of the requested service and for the preservation of own justified business interests.

Purpose of personal data
In general, we will use personal information you provide to respond to your requests, process your orders, or provide you with access to specific information or offers. Customer Relationship Management may also require that we or a service provider contracted by us use such personal information to inform you about product offerings that are useful to you in your business, or to conduct online surveys to meet the needs and requirements of our business partners accordingly. Of course we respect, if you do not want to give us your personal data to support our customer relationship (especially for direct marketing or for market research purposes). We will not sell or otherwise market your personal information to third parties.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data
In general we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as a legal basis. In the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO acts as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual actions. Insofar as processing of personal data is required to fulfill a legal obligation that is subject to our company, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO acts as a legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d DSGVO acts as a legal basis. If processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail over the first interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO acts as a legal basis for processing.

Data erasure and storage duration
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage is deleted. In addition, such storage may be provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which the controller is subject. Blocking or deletion of the data also takes place when a storage period prescribed by the standards mentioned expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for conclusion of a contract or fulfillment of the contract.
