Privacy Protection

Data privacy policy in accordance with the GDPR


Protecting personal data is an important concern to us. Processing personal data is therefore carried out in accordance with the applicable European and national laws. You can of course revoke your consent at any time with future effect. To do this, please contact the data controller in accordance with § 1.
The following statement provides an overview of what kind of data is collected, how it is used and shared, what security measures we take to protect your information, and how you obtain details about the information provided to us.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 S. 1 lit. a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as legal basis.
For the processing of personal data necessary for performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 S. lit. b GDPR applies as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of precontractual measures.
Insofar as processing personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject, Art. 6 para. 1 S. 1 lit. c GDPR applies 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 outweigh the said interest, Art. 6 para. 1 S. lit. f) GDPR applies as the legal basis for processing.

Data deletion and storage duration

The personal data of a data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to exist. Furthermore, data may be stored if this is provided for by European or national legislators in union regulations, laws, or other regulations to which we are subject as the data controller. Blocking or erasing data will also be carried out if a storage deadline prescribed by the above-mentioned standards expires, unless data storage is a necessity for concluding or performing a contract.
