We appreciate your interest in our website. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below we provide you with detailed information about how we handle your data.

1. Access Data and Hosting
You can visit our website without providing any personal information. Each time you access a website, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider (access data), and documents the access. This access data is evaluated solely for the purpose of ensuring the smooth operation of the website and improving our offering. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our services, which prevail within the context of a balancing of interests, in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. All access data will only be processed for as long as necessary to achieve the aforementioned processing purposes.

1.1 Hosting
The services for hosting and displaying the website are partly provided by our service providers as part of processing on our behalf. Unless otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy, all access data and all data collected in forms provided for this purpose on this website will be processed on their servers. If you have any questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please contact us using the contact options described in this Privacy Policy.

Our service providers are located and/or use servers in the following countries for which the European Commission has determined an adequate level of data protection by decision: USA.

The adequacy decision for the USA applies as the basis for transfers to third countries, provided that the respective service provider is certified. Service providers from the USA are generally certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF). If service providers are not certified under the DPF, standard contractual clauses have been concluded as a suitable guarantee.

1.2 Content Delivery Network
To shorten loading times, we use a so-called Content Delivery Network ("CDN") for some of our services. With this service, content, e.g., large media files, is delivered via regionally distributed servers of external CDN service providers. Therefore, access data is processed on the service providers' servers. Our service providers work for us as part of a contract processing agreement. If you have any questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with you, please contact us using the contact details described in this privacy policy.

2. Data processing for contact and customer communication
Contact
When you contact us, we collect personal data to process your inquiries in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR if you voluntarily provide it to us when contacting us (e.g., via contact form, live chat tool, or email). Mandatory fields are marked as such, as in these cases we absolutely need the data to process your contact. The data collected can be seen in the respective input forms. After your inquiry has been fully processed, your data will be deleted unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, or we reserve the right to use the data in any other way that is permitted by law and about which we will inform you in this declaration.

After your customer enquiry has been fully processed, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after expiry of the retention periods under tax and commercial law in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or we reserve the right to use the data in any other way that is permitted by law.
