General

We handle your personal data confidentially and according to the legal data protection regulations and to this privacy policy. If possible, collecting personal data (like name, address or e-mail address) is always done on a voluntary basis. We call your attention to the fact that transferring data in the Internet (for example, during communication by electronic mail) is subject to security breaches. It is not possible to completely protect such data against access by third parties.

Collection, Processing and Use of Personal Data

We handle your personal data confidentially and according to the legal data protection regulations. In the following, we explain what kind of information we collect, while you visit our website, and how it is used.

Collection and Processing of Personal Data

With every access to our website and with each access of a file, data concerning these events are automatically collected and stored in a log file. Data storage is used solely for internal system-related and statistical purposes. In detail, the following data is stored upon each access:

  • Name of the accessed file;
  • Date and time of the access;
  • Amount of data transferred;
  • Notification of whether the access was successful;
  • Description of the type of web browser used;
  • Requested domain.

Personal data such as your name, your address, telephone number or electronic mail address are not collected, unless you provide this data voluntarily, e.g. in connection with a registration you wish to make, with a survey, the performance of a contract or an information request.

Use and Disclosure

Where you have made personal data available to us, we use these solely for the purpose of technically administering the website and fulfilling your wishes and requests, in particular for performing a contract with you, or for answering your inquiry.

Personal data will not be passed on, sold or transferred to third parties unless:

  • It is necessary for the contract performance. For example, it might be necessary to pass on your address and order information to suppliers.
  • It is necessary for billing purposes
  • You have previously consented to it. You have the right to revoke your consent with effect for the future at any time

Personal data will be deleted

  • If you revoke your consent
  • If it is no longer necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it is stored or
  • If it is not allowed to be stored for other legal reasons

Duration of Storage

We delete your data if it is no longer needed after processing an inquiry or termination of the contract. Excluded from this are data which we are not yet allowed to delete due to legal obligation (e.g., documents which are to be retained according to tax law and commercial law) and data which we need in order to represent legitimate interests; in particular, for asserting claims or for direct marketing.

  • Access – you can request access to your personal information and further details about how your personal information is handled
  • Rectification – you can request rectification of any incorrect personal data held about you
