Legal bases of data processing

In order to be able to offer you our website and the associated services, we process personal data on the basis of the following legal grounds:

– on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) DSGVO)
– for the performance of a contract (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) DSGVO)
– on the basis of our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO)
– for the compliance with a legal obligation (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) DSGVO)

If personal data is processed on the basis of your consent, you have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

If we process data on the basis of a legitimate interest, you as the person concerned have the right to object to the processing of personal data, taking into account the requirements of Article 21 of the DSGVO.

Your data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those mentioned..

 

SSL encryption

To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS.

 

Access data

When you visit our website, personal data is processed in order to display the content of the website on your terminal device. In order for the pages to be displayed in your browser, the IP address of the terminal device you are using must be processed. In addition, further information about the browser of your end device is processed.

We are required by data protection law to also ensure the confidentiality and integrity of personal data processed with our IT systems.

For this purpose and for this interest, the following data is logged on the basis of our economic interest in an error-free and optimized presentation of our presence:

– IP address
– Date and time of the request
– Time zone difference from GMT
– Content of the website
– access status (HTTP status)
– Amount of data transferred
– Website from which you came to our site
– web browser
– operating system
– Language and version of the browser

The access logs of the web servers record which page requests have taken place and when. They contain the following data: IP, directory protection user, date, time, accessed pages, logs, status code, data volume, referer, user agent, accessed host name.

The IP addresses are stored anonymously. For this purpose, the last three digits are removed, i.e. 127.0.0.1 becomes 127.0.*. IPv6 addresses are also anonymized. The anonymized IP addresses are kept for 60 days. Information about the directory protection user used is anonymized after one day.

Error logs, which record erroneous page views, are deleted after seven days. In addition to the error messages, these contain the accessing IP address and, depending on the error, the accessed website.

Accesses via FTP are logged with anonymized information on user name and IP address and stored for 60 days.

The mail logs for sending e-mails from the web environment are anonymized after one day and then retained for 60 days. During anonymization, all data on the sender/recipient etc. is removed. Only the data on the time of sending and the information on how the e-mail was processed are retained (queue ID or not sent).

Mail logs for sending via our mail servers are deleted after four weeks. The longer retention period is necessary to ensure the functionality of the mail services and spam prevention.

It is not possible to specify the retention period individually.

 

Contact us by form or e-mail

We offer a contact form on our website, which you can use to request information about our products or services or to contact us in general. The form data is transmitted via an encrypted connection. We use your data exclusively to process your inquiry, to address you correctly and to send you a reply. In this context, other persons or departments with the corresponding core competencies at our company may also receive knowledge of your inquiry internally in order to answer it in the best possible way.

The processing of the contact data you provide to us is based on our legitimate economic interest in data processing for the acquisition of new orders and maintenance of business contacts.

If you contact us via e-mail, we would like to point out that the legal requirements applicable in Germany force companies to keep your e-mails complete, true to the original, tamper-proof and available at all times for a period of sometimes 10 years. This includes any correspondence through which a business transaction is prepared, processed, concluded or reversed.

If you do not click on the graphic, no exchange takes place between you and the providers of the social media buttons.
