Privacy Policy

The protection of your personal data is of utmost importance to us. We process your data exclusively based on the legal regulations (DSG 2018, GDPR, TKG 2003). This privacy information explains the key aspects of data processing on our website.

Please read this statement carefully, as it explains how we collect, process, and store your personal data. Every access to our website and every retrieval of a file stored here is logged. This storage serves internal system-related and statistical purposes. Logged data includes: name of the retrieved file, date, time of access, amount of data transferred, successful retrieval message, web browser, requesting domain, IP address of the requesting computer, search terms, etc.* We process and store all personal data you provide to us through email inquiries (e.g., name, address, email address, telephone number) to conduct the requested contact and for further customer relationship management. These data are stored until you request their deletion in writing.

Additional personal data are only collected if you voluntarily provide them during inquiries, registrations, contract conclusions, or via your browser settings. If data are passed on to external service providers, appropriate technical and organizational measures are taken to ensure that the transfer complies with legal data protection requirements.
