All personal information will be handled confidentially. As a matter of principle, we only process personal data of our users in order to enable personalized access to our online services or to enable generally optimized online access to our content and consulting services, and also to offer the user a functional website.

The processing of personal data of our users takes place regularly only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases in which prior consent cannot be obtained for practical reasons and / or the processing of the data is permitted by law. In particular, personal data will only be processed if and to the extent that this is absolutely necessary for technical reasons and / or to fulfill our legal obligations and / or contractual obligations and / or for a predominantly legitimate interest.

We process your personal data in a transparent and proper way in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and general legislation. Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

When processing personal data that is required to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 Paragraph 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 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 person concerned do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

If you have any questions about the storage of your personal data, please write to us at the above email address.

For the processing operations carried out by us, we indicate below how long the data is stored by us and when it is deleted or blocked. Unless an express storage period is specified below, your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. However, storage can also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the person responsible is subject. If the storage period prescribed by the statutory provisions expires, the personal data will be blocked or deleted, unless further storage by us is necessary and there is a legal basis for this.

In principle, you can use our website for purely informational purposes without disclosing your identity. When you visit our website, only access data that is technically necessary so that the website can be displayed is transmitted to our provider. Some of the necessary information that may be collected includes the following aggregate usage and technical information transmitted by your device, including certain information related to software and hardware:

• Referrer URL (previously visited website),
• Requested website or file,
• Browser type and version,
• Operating system used,
• Device type used,
• Date and time of access,
• IP address,
• Language and version of the browser software.

The access data is not used to identify individual users and is not merged with other data sources. Further storage in log files takes place in order to guarantee the functionality of the website and the security of the information technology systems.

The transmission of the data as well as the entire website are SSL-encrypted.

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is Article 6, Paragraph 1, Letter f GDPR. Our legitimate interests lie in ensuring the functionality of the website and the integrity and security of the website. The storage of access data in log files, in particular the IP address, for a longer period enables us to recognize and prevent abuse.

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended. If the data is stored in log files, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated so that it is no longer possible to assign the accessing client.

A contact form is available on our website that can be used to contact us electronically. You can also contact us by email. When you contact us via the contact form or by e-mail, the data you have provided (in particular your gender, e-mail address, first and last name address, company and the text of your request as well as any other information that you provide in the Contact form or by email), stored by us in order to process your request and answer your questions. If the data is not provided, it is not possible to conclude or implement a contract in the form of contacting or processing the request.

If the user has given his / her consent, the legal basis for processing the data is Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. The legal basis for the processing of the data that is transmitted in the course of sending an email is Article 6 (1) lit.f GDPR. If the aim of the email contact is to conclude a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR. The processing of personal data serves only to process the establishment of contact, which is also our legitimate interest.

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been finally clarified. Insofar as there are statutory retention requirements, the data will be stored for the duration of the legally prescribed retention requirements.

We also use your personal data (in particular your name and e-mail address) to provide you with advertising material relating to our services and to send you information about events.

This processing takes place on the basis of a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit.f) GDPR. There is a legitimate economic interest in informing our customers about other offers and events of our own in order to establish and maintain a long-term customer relationship.

When you receive the marketing materials, you always have the option of unsubscribing from further mailings via a corresponding e-mail address.
