You can visit our website without providing any personal data. Insofar as personal data such as name, address or e-mail address is collected on our pages, this is done on a voluntary basis as far as possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent. If a contractual relationship is to be established between you and us, or if its content is to be modified or amended, or if you send us an enquiry, we will collect and use personal data from you to the extent necessary for these purposes (inventory data). We collect, process and use personal data to the extent necessary to enable you to use the website (usage data). All personal data will only be stored for as long as is necessary for the stated purpose (processing your inquiry or processing a contract). Tax and commercial retention periods are taken into account. By order of the responsible authorities, we may in individual cases provide information about this data (inventory data), insofar as this is necessary for the purposes of criminal prosecution, for averting danger, for fulfilling the statutory duties of the constitutional protection authorities or the Military Counter-Intelligence Service or for enforcing intellectual property rights.

How do we collect your data and what do we use it for?

On the one hand, your data is collected by you communicating it to us. This takes place, for example, when you create a user account. Other data is automatically collected by our IT systems when you visit the website. These are mainly technical data (e.g. Internet browser, operating system or time of the page call). This data is collected automatically as soon as you use our website. We process your data only as long as it is necessary for the respective purpose.

We collect some of the data in order to ensure that the website is error-free. Other data is used, for example, to contact you or to analyse the use of our services. Under no circumstances will we pass on your data to third parties. However, we expressly point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) is subject to security gaps and cannot be completely protected against access by third parties.
