Server log files
The information sent to us by your browser is collected and stored by the website provider automatically in log files on the provider’s servers. This information includes:

– Browser type/browser version

– Operating system used

– Referrer URL

– Hostname of computer accessing the website

This data is not personally identifiable information. In addition, this data is not aggregated with data from other sources. The legal basis for data processing is point (b) of art. 6(1) of the EU GDPR, which permits the processing of data to fulfil a contract or pre-contractual activities. We reserve the right to analyse this data at a later point in time if we have reasonable grounds for suspecting a legal infringement.

SSL encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transfer of confidential data, such as the enquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this website utilises SSL encryption. You can identify an encrypted internet connection by the presence of a padlock icon on your browser’s address bar and the prefix ‘https://’ instead of ‘http://’.
When SSL encryption is activated, the data that you send to us cannot be intercepted and read by a third party.

Contact form
Consumers: We collect your data for the purposes of handling your enquiry and the necessary technical administrative activities. Data processing is based on point (f) of art. 6(1) of the EU GDPR. Our legitimate interest consists of responding to your enquiry. Data is not shared with third parties. The data is archived according to GoBD. You have the right to withdraw consent for the use of your data for the purposes of handling enquiries.
Business partners: We collect your data to communicate with you (e.g. for the submission of quotations, settlement of accounts for services or contract fulfilment). The law provides for many mandatory retention periods and deadlines in this context. On expiry of these periods, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted except where data is still required for contract fulfilment. If data is not affected by this provision, the data is deleted once the data is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. Data is not transferred to third parties. You have the right to withdraw consent for the use of your data for the purposes of registration. 

Legal warning re unsolicited mail
Our contact details are published on this website to comply with German law. We hereby prohibit all use of such data to send us advertising or promotional materials that we have not explicitly requested. The website operators reserve the right to take legal action in the event of receiving unsolicited advertising material, such as in the form of ‘spam’ emails.

YouTube
The operator of this website uses plugins from YouTube for the integration and presentation of video content. The provider of the video portal is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When a site with an embedded YouTube plugin is accessed, a connection is made to servers at You Tube. This enables YouTube to identify the pages on the website that you have accessed. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can link your online activities directly to your personal profile. To prevent this, you can log out before accessing the website. YouTube is used in the interests of ensuring the optimum presentation of the website operator’s products. This constitutes a legitimate interest in the sense of point (f) of art. 6(1) of the EU GDPR.
