Collection of general data
When you use our website, data transmitted to us by your browser is processed and stored on our server. This data is necessary for the provision of the content and services of our website and serves to display the website properly and to ensure security and stability. This data usually includes the following:
- IP address
- Date and time of the request
- Content of the request / page selection
- Amount of data transferred
- Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
- Access status / HTTP status code
- Referrer URL / originating website

We do not use this data to establish a connection to you. If personal data is involved, it is usually deleted automatically after 14 days, unless there is another legal reason for storing it for longer.
In addition, all other personal data that you send us specifically when using our website (e.g. contact enquiries, login data, uploads) is processed by us for the specific purpose.
Service providers
If we use contracted service providers for individual components of our offering or wish to use your data for other purposes, we will inform you of the respective processes below or via the provider. This may be done by external domestic and foreign service providers (e.g. in the areas of IT, logistics, telecommunications, sales and marketing) in accordance with our instructions for the purpose of conducting our business transactions. Where necessary, a contract for data processing as prescribed by law is in place with providers who process data for our purposes in accordance with our instructions.
Cookies
We use so-called ‘cookies’ on our website to tailor our website to your needs. These are text files that are transferred from a server to your computer's hard drive and remain there for the duration of the session or until they are deleted, depending on the type of cookie and the settings of your internet browser, and through which we receive certain customisation information.
The cookies store your system and usage information relating to your use of our website. Cookies may also contain a unique identifier that allows us and other website providers to distinguish your system from other systems and recognise it when you visit again.
We use these functions to ensure and improve the user-friendliness and functionality of our website.
For this purpose, we use the following on our website:
Necessary cookies
We use ‘necessary cookies’ to enable the comprehensive use of this website. This applies in particular to the correct display of content.
Performance cookies
These are cookies that are required to optimise the performance of our website. Information about how our website is used is evaluated in order to improve the user experience. The evaluation is carried out anonymously.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies are necessary to ensure the operation of technical components. They offer users improved, personalised functions, if desired.
Advertising, targeting or analysis cookies
The use of advertising or targeting cookies is also possible. These serve to address users specifically according to their interests and to make the display of advertising more specific. Such information and visits to advertising offers can be evaluated and shared with third parties in order to improve the targeting of third-party advertising, but also the respective page functionality. We obtain your separate consent for this processing, unless the data is processed anonymously.
Where analysis services are used on our website, this usually involves the setting of one or more cookies that can record and track your user behaviour. The data collected includes information about you and your system, your visit to our website (e.g. content accessed, interests, purchases, clicks and duration of visit), visits to previous or subsequent websites, and the use of advertisements. The information is processed anonymously unless you have given your consent to the processing of real data. You will also receive further information about the data collected in this declaration of consent.
Sharing cookies
These serve to improve the interactivity of our website with other services (e.g. social networks) and to process your requests.
The legal basis for cookies that are absolutely necessary to provide you with the expressly requested service is Section 25 (2) No. 2 TDDDG. Any use of cookies that is not technically necessary for this purpose constitutes data processing that is only permitted with your express consent. This applies in particular to the use of advertising, targeting or analysis cookies.
You can prevent or disable the use of cookies at any time by adjusting the settings in your internet browser. You can delete cookies that have already been stored at any time. However, without cookies, various functions of our website may not be available or may only be available to a limited extent.
In addition, you should occasionally delete your browser history manually to remove existing cookies.
Further information about which cookies we use and how you can manage your cookie settings and deactivate certain types of tracking can also be found in the cookie banner on this website.
Email / contact form
If you contact us by email or contact form, the data you provide (e.g. title, surname and first name, address, company, email address and the time of transmission) will be processed by us in order to process your message. Once storage is no longer necessary, we delete the transmitted data or restrict its processing. This depends on statutory retention obligations.
Call button
If you contact us via the call button and telephone call, we will process the data you provide, in particular your telephone number, in order to process your contact request. Alternatively, you must call with a suppressed number.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a tracking tool provided by Google, LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (‘Google’), for our website. Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies” (see above under ‘Cookies’), which are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated in this way about your use of our website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, due to the activation of IP anonymisation on this website, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your internet browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
The data sent and linked to cookies, user IDs (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs is automatically deleted after 14 months. Data that has reached its retention period is automatically deleted once a month. For more information on data protection, please visit https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-GB.
Furthermore, you can prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GB.
Google AdWords
Our website uses Google AdWords with Google Conversion Tracking, a service provided by Google, LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (‘Google’), see https://policies.google.com/privacy. If you have reached our website via an advertisement placed by Google, Google AdWords will place a cookie on your computer.
This allows us and Google to recognise that the user has clicked on the advertisement and been redirected to this page. The cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. Conversion statistics tell customers the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. The setting of a cookie can be rejected via browser settings. This may lead to functional restrictions on the website.
Google Remarketing
Our website uses Google Remarketing, Retargeting, Adsense, Tag Manager, Google Search Console or similar functions from Google, LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (‘Google’). These functions are used to analyse visitor behaviour and visitor interests.
Google uses cookies to create interest-based advertisements. These cookies collect information about visits to the website and anonymised data about its use.
If you visit another website in the Google network, you will be shown advertisements that are highly likely to take into account information you have previously accessed. Your data may also be transferred to the USA.
Processing is based on a legitimate interest in targeting website visitors with advertising in order to fulfil mutual marketing interests.
You can permanently disable the use of cookies by Google by following the link below and downloading and installing the plug-in provided there: https://support.google.com/answer=en
You can also deactivate the use of cookies by third-party software.
Information about these services and the associated privacy policy can be found at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=en-GB.
Duration of processing and deletion
Your data will only be processed for as long as is necessary to achieve the above-mentioned processing purposes; the legal bases specified in the context of the processing purposes apply accordingly.
We delete or block personal data in accordance with the legal requirements after expiry of one of the aforementioned periods and, if no period is specified, as soon as the data concerned is no longer required for the purposes stated here or for other justified purposes, or when a legally prescribed storage period expires.

However, no guarantee is given for the correctness, completeness, topicality or quality of the information and data provided in accordance with Sections 8 to 10 TMG.

However, liability in this regard is only possible from the time of knowledge of a specific legal violation. If we become aware of such legal violations, we will remove this content immediately.
Liability for links
We are not responsible for the content of websites accessed via hyperlinks. The operators of the linked sites are solely responsible for their content. We expressly do not adopt the content of these websites as our own and therefore cannot guarantee its accuracy, completeness or availability. When we first linked to these external sites, we checked their content to see if it could trigger any civil or criminal liability. But we're not obliged to constantly check the content we link to for changes that could trigger new liability. Only when we discover or are informed by others that a specific offer to which we have provided a link triggers civil or criminal liability will we remove the reference to this offer, insofar as this is technically possible and reasonable for us.

Data protection
You can usually use our website without providing any personal information. Where personal data (e.g. name, address or email addresses) is collected on our website, this is always done on a voluntary basis as far as possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.
In connection with your access, data that may allow identification (e.g. IP address, date, time and name of the requested file) is temporarily stored on our server for data security purposes. This data is not evaluated, except for statistical purposes in anonymised form.
If you order information material from us, we require your name, email address and details for delivery and invoicing. This enables us to process and execute your order. This data is stored electronically for the duration of the order processing. Any further use of personal data or disclosure to third parties will not take place without your express consent.
