External hosting
In order to ensure a reliable and secure display of our homepage, we use the services of an external web hosting provider.

In addition to the collection of access data and server log files, no other personal data of homepage visitors is collected and stored. The aforementioned server log files are automatically deleted after 14 days. The hosting server is located in Germany.

Cookies
We use technically necessary cookies on our homepage. Cookies are text files that are stored and stored on a computer system via an Internet browser. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID. By using cookies we can provide you with a more user-friendly service that would not be possible without the use of cookies. Using a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the user.

You can prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by adjusting the appropriate settings on the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If you deactivate the setting of cookies in the Internet browser you are using, not all functions of our website may be fully usable..

If you provide us with personal data via email or a contact form, this data will be automatically stored and processed by us to process your request. When transmitting data via a contact form, this is done via an encrypted SSL connection. No transfer of this personal data to third parties occurs. Your data transmitted to us will be deleted once storage is no longer required, or we limit processing if statutory retention periods exist.

Routine Deletion of Personal Data
We store and process your personal data only for the period necessary to achieve the storage purpose or as provided for by the European legislator or other legislator in laws or regulations. Once the storage purpose ceases to apply or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, your personal data will be routinely deleted in accordance with legal regulations.

Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data
Where processing of personal data is based on consent of the data subject, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis. When processing personal data necessary for the performance of a contract, where the data subject is a contracting party, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual measures. If processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis. In the event vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require processing of personal data, Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis. If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.
