Please note that data transmission in the internet (e.g. when communicating via e-mail) may be subject to security gaps. It is not possible to provide full protection of your data against being accessed by third-parties.

Withdrawal of your consent to process your data

The supervisory authority competent for data protection issues related to our company is LfDI Baden-Württemberg: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/SharedDocs/Adressen/LfD/BadenWuerttemberg.html and/or http://www.baden-wuerttemberg.datenschutz.de (both links in German only).

4. Data collection on our website

Cookies
This website partly uses so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies are used to increase user-friendliness, effectiveness and security of our offered services. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer and saved in your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called Session Cookies. They will be deleted automatically after you have left our website. Other cookies remain on your terminal until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser at your next visit to our website.

You can change your browser settings in a way that you will be informed about cookies that are being placed and allow them to be saved on a case-by-case basis, you can individually or generally block cookies or enable deletion of the cookies when the browser is closed. Disabling cookies may compromise the functionality of this website.

Cookies that are required to perform electronic communication processes or provide specific features that you wish to use (e.g. the shopping cart feature) will be stored on the basis of point (f) of Article 6(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically smooth and optimised provision of the services. If other cookies (e.g. cookies for analysing your browsing behaviour) are stored, these will be treated separately in this Privacy Policy.

Server log files
The provider of the sites collects and stores information automatically in so-called server log files which are automatically transferred to us by your browser.

This information includes:

  • Browser type and browser version;
  • Operating system used;
  • Referrer URL;
  • Host name of the accessing computer;
  • Time of the server request;
  • IP address.

These data are not amalgamated with other data sources.

Data processing is based on point (b) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR which allows processing of data for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights or freedoms of the data subject.

Contact/registration form
If you send us an enquiry via our contact/registration form, your data from the form, including your contact details you specified in this form, will be stored by us for the processing of your enquiry and in case of any queries. We will not disclose these data without your consent.

Processing of the data that you entered in the contact/registration form is therefore exclusively based on your consent (point (a) of Article 6(1) GDPR). You may withdraw this consent at any time. An informal communication like an e-mail sent to us is sufficient. The lawfulness of the processes of data processing performed prior to the date of withdrawal remains unaffected.
The data that you entered in the contact/registration form are kept by us until you request us to erase them or withdraw your consent for storage or until the purpose of data storage has ceased to exist (e.g. after the processing of your enquiry has been completed). Mandatory legal provisions, particularly storage periods, remain unaffected.

 

5. Analysis tools

Google Analytics uses so-called cookies which are text files that are saved on your computer and enable analysis of your use of our website.

Only in exceptional cases, the full IP address will be transferred to a Google server located in the United States of America and truncated at that place. By order of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to analyse your use of the website, to assemble reports on the website activities and to render additional services related to the website use and internet use for the website operator. The IP address transferred from your browser via Google Analytics will not be amalgamated with other Google data.
