2) DATA COLLECTION WHEN VISITING OUR WEBSITE

If you visit our website for informational purposes only, without registering or otherwise transmitting information to us, we only collect data that your browser transmits to our server (so-called "server log files"). When you access our website, we collect the following information necessary for us to display the website to you:

  • The website visited
  • Date and time of access
  • Amount of data transmitted in bytes
  • Source/referrer from which you accessed the page

This data is not shared or used for other purposes unless required by law. However, we reserve the right to review server log files if there are indications of unlawful use.

3) COOKIES

To make our website attractive and enable certain functions, we use cookies on various pages. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Some cookies are deleted after the end of the browser session (session cookies), while others remain on your device and enable us or our partner companies to recognize your browser on your next visit (persistent cookies).

Some cookies store settings that simplify the ordering process (e.g., remembering the contents of a virtual shopping cart for a later visit). When personal data is processed through cookies, this processing is based on either contract performance under Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR or our legitimate interest in the best possible website functionality under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

We may work with advertising partners who help us make our website more interesting for you, and in this case, cookies from partner companies (third-party cookies) may also be stored on your device.

You can configure your browser to notify you about cookie settings, allowing you to decide individually whether to accept cookies or to block them in specific cases or generally. Note that blocking cookies may limit the functionality of our website.

4) CONTACTING US

If you contact us (e.g., via contact form or email), personal data is collected. The specific data collected depends on the form used for contact.

If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Your data will be deleted once your inquiry has been fully resolved, provided that no statutory retention obligations apply.

5) DATA PROCESSING FOR ACCOUNT CREATION AND CONTRACT PROCESSING

According to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, personal data will continue to be collected and processed if you provide it to us for contract performance or account creation. Required data fields are specified in the input forms. You can delete your account at any time by sending a request to the data controller. We store and use your provided data solely for contract processing.

After the complete processing of the contract, your data will be restricted for further use and deleted after the retention periods required by tax and commercial law, unless you have explicitly consented to further data use or if we reserve the right to legally permitted further data use, about which we inform you here.
