The protection of personal data is important to us. Therefore, the processing of personal data is carried out in accordance with applicable European and national legislation.

We enable interested parties to contact us using special online forms, by telephone or by post. Personal data is collected to answer inquiries.

The following statement provides an overview of what type of data is collected, how this data is used and passed on, what security measures we take to protect your data and how and how you receive information about the information given to us.

Legal basis for processing personal data

To the extent that we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing personal data, Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

When processing personal data that is necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.

If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject, Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing .

Data deletion and storage period

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage can also take place if this has been provided for by European or national legislators in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which we are subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the standards mentioned expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data to conclude or fulfill a contract.
