Privacy Policy

Unless otherwise stated below, the provision of your personal data is neither legally nor contractually required, nor is it necessary for entering into a contract. You are not obligated to provide the data. Failure to provide it will have no consequences. This applies only insofar as no other information is provided in the following processing operations. "Personal data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Server log files

You can visit our website without providing any personal information. Each time you access our website, your internet browser transmits usage data, which is stored in log files (server log files). This stored data includes, for example, the name of the page accessed, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider. This data is used solely to ensure the smooth operation of our website and to improve our services. It is not possible to link this data to a specific individual.

Data collection and processing when using the contact form

When you use the contact form, we collect your personal data (name, email address, message text) only to the extent that you provide it. The data is processed for the purpose of contacting you. By submitting your message, you consent to the processing of the transmitted data. This processing is based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR with your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time by notifying us, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. We use your email address only to process your request. Your data will then be deleted unless you have consented to further processing and use.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored in or by the internet browser on a user's computer system. When a user visits a website, a cookie can be stored on the user's operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic string that enables the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is visited again. We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly, effective, and
to make it more secure. Furthermore, cookies enable our systems to recognize your browser even after you navigate to a different page and to offer you services. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For these functions, it is necessary that the browser is recognized even after a page change. We also use cookies on our website to analyze the browsing behavior of our website visitors.
The processing is based on Section 15 (3) of the German Telemedia Act (TMG) and Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in the purposes mentioned above. The data collected from you in this way is pseudonymized through technical measures. Therefore, it is no longer possible to link the data to you personally. The data is not stored together with any other personal data you provide. You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to this processing.
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Cookies are stored on your computer. Therefore, you have full control over the use of cookies. By selecting the appropriate technical settings in your internet browser, you can prevent the storage of cookies and the transmission of the data they contain. Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted at any time. However, please note that you may then no longer be able to use the services described above.
You will be able to fully use all the functions of this website. The following links provide information on how to manage (including disable) cookies in the most common browsers:

Using social plug-ins via the "2-click solution"

We use social network plugins on our website via the "2-click solution." This means that no connection to the social network servers is established and consequently no data is transmitted without your explicit consent. With the standard integration of plugins, when you access pages on our website that contain a social network, a connection is established.
When such a plug-in is included, a connection is established between your computer and the servers of the social network provider, and the plug-in is displayed on the page by sending a message to your browser. In this process, both your IP address and information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted to the provider's servers. This applies regardless of whether you are registered with or logged into the social network. Even unregistered or logged-out users are subject to this transmission. If you are also logged into the Facebook social network, this information will be associated with your personal user account. When you use the plug-in functions (e.g., by clicking the button), this information will also be associated with your user account, which you can only prevent by logging out before using the plug-in.To ensure that you retain control over your data, we have decided to deactivate the corresponding button for the time being. You can recognise this by the greyed-out button. Without your express consent – in the form of activating the button – no connection to the social network server will be established and, consequently, no data will be transmitted. Only when you activate the button does it become active (highlighted in colour) and a direct connection to the social network's server is established. By activating the button, you give your consent to the transfer of your data to the respective social network provider. This includes the transfer of your IP address and information about which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into one or more of your social network accounts at the same time, the information collected will also be assigned to your corresponding profiles. You can only prevent this assignment by logging out of your user accounts on the social networks before visiting our website and activating the buttons. The social networks listed below are integrated using the ‘2-click function’. For more information on the scope and purpose of the collection and use of data, as well as your rights and options for protecting your privacy, please refer to the linked privacy policies of the providers.

Google Maps

We use the function for embedding Google Maps maps from Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; ‘Google’) on our website. This function enables the visual display of geographical information and interactive maps. When you visit pages that contain Google Maps, Google also collects, processes and uses data about visitors to these pages. For more information about how Google collects and uses data, please refer to Google's privacy policy at https://www.google.com/privacypolicy.html. There, you also have the option of changing your settings in the privacy centre so that you can manage and protect your data processed by Google. Your data may also be transferred to the USA. An adequacy decision by the European Commission is in place for data transfers to the USA. You have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you based on Art. 6 (1) f GDPR for reasons arising from your particular situation. To do so, you must disable JavaScript in your browser. However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website, such as the interactive map display, to their full extent.

Duration of storage

After complete contract fulfillment, the data will initially be stored for the duration of the warranty period, then taking into account legal, in particular tax and commercial law retention periods, and then deleted after the expiry of the period, unless you have consented to further processing and use.

Rights of the data subject

Provided the legal requirements are met, you have the following rights under Articles 15 to 20 of the GDPR: the right to information, to rectification, to erasure, to restriction of processing, and to data portability. Furthermore, under Article 21(1) of the GDPR, you have the right to object to processing based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, as well as to processing for direct marketing purposes.

Please contact us if you wish. You can find our contact details in our legal notice.

Right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority

According to Article 77 of the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data is unlawful.

Real Cookie Banner

We use the "Real Cookie Banner" consent tool to manage the cookies and similar technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) we employ and the associated consents. Details on how "Real Cookie Banner" works can be found here. https://devowl.io/de/rcb/datenverarbeitung

The legal basis for processing personal data in this context is Article 6(1)(c) GDPR and Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the management of the cookies and similar technologies used and the related consents.

Providing your personal data is neither contractually required nor necessary for entering into a contract. You are not obligated to provide your personal data. If you do not provide your personal data, we will be unable to manage your consent.
