Controller within the meaning of the EU General Data Protection Regulation [EU GDPR]
Thank you for your interest in our company and our services. We want you to feel safe when visiting our website, also with regard to the protection of your personal data.
We take the protection of personal data very seriously. Compliance with the provisions of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU-GDPR) and other relevant data protection laws is therefore a matter of course for us. We would like you to know what data we collect, when we collect them and how we make use of them. We have taken technical and organisational precautions to ensure that the data protection regulations are observed both by ourselves and by external service providers.
What personal data do we collect and why?
Below we will show you what data we collect on this website and for which different purposes:
1. Processing of data using cookies
Our website makes use of cookies. These are text files that are stored on your computer in order to track visitors' preferences and to optimize our website accordingly.
On the one hand, we use transient cookies. These are automatically deleted when you close the browser. These transient cookies primarily include session cookies. They store a so-called session ID, which allows different requests from your browser to be assigned to the particular session, thus enabling your computer to be recognised when you return to the website. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or close your browser.
In addition, we also use persistent cookies. These are automatically deleted after two months.
To prevent cookies from being stored, you must select "Do not accept cookies" in the browser settings. If cookies are not accepted by the browser, the scope of functions available on the website may be limited.
These items of information are stored separately from any other data supplied to us. In particular, the data of the cookies are not linked to your other data.
The legal basis for data processing is Article 6, Para. 1, lit. f of EU GDPR. The legitimate interest pursued is to facilitate and improve the use of the site and thus to better present our offer.

The legal basis for data processing is Article 6, Para. 1, lit. f of EU GDPR, insofar as your request is processed to explain our services and our company. Should your request be made in preparation for a contract, the legal basis is Article 6, Para. 1, lit. b of EU GDPR.
3. Data processing for login and registration

The processing of data is pursuant to Article 6, Para. 1, lit. b of EU GDPR for the provision and use of services commissioned by you.
The data concerned shall be deleted when they are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were stored. This is the case if the data is no longer required for the performance of the offered service. Even after the provision and conclusion of the services, there may be a need to continue to store your personal data in order to comply with contractual or legal obligations.
4. Data processing for newsletter registration
We also like to keep you regularly informed by e-mail For this purpose, you can subscribe to our newsletter. With your registration, you accept the use of your personal data for the generation and distribution of the newsletter (Article 6, Para. 1, lit. a of EU GDPR). We record your IP address to confirm your registration and your e-mail address to distribute the newsletter. In order to verify that an application is actually made by the owner of an e-mail address, we use the "double opt-in" procedure. This means we record the registration to the newsletter, the sending of the notification email and receipt of the requested reply.
