Newsletter

Type and purpose of processing:

For the delivery of our newsletter, we collect personal data that is transmitted to us via an input mask.


For an effective registration we need a valid e-mail address. In order to check that the owner of an e-mail address is actually registering, we use the "double opt-in" procedure. To do this, we log the registration for the newsletter, the sending of a confirmation email and the receipt of the response requested here. Further data is not collected.

Legal basis:

On the basis of your expressly given consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO), we will regularly send you our newsletter or comparable information by e-mail to the e-mail address you have provided.


You can revoke your consent to the storage of your personal data and its use for sending the newsletter at any time with effect for the future. There is a corresponding link in every newsletter. You can also unsubscribe directly on this website at any time or inform us of your revocation via the contact option given at the end of this data protection notice.

Recipient:

Data recipients may be processors

Storage duration:

The data will only be processed in this context as long as the corresponding consent has been given. After that they will be deleted.

Mandatory or required provision:

The provision of your personal data is voluntary, based solely on your consent. Unfortunately, we cannot send you our newsletter without your consent.

Withdrawal of consent:

You can revoke your consent to the storage of your personal data and its use for sending the newsletter at any time with effect for the future. Unsubscribing can be requested via the link contained in each e-mail or to the data protection officer listed below or the person responsible for data protection.

Contact form

Type and purpose of processing:

The data you enter will be stored for the purpose of individual communication with you. This requires you to provide a valid email address and your name. This is used to allocate the request and then to answer it. Providing further data is optional.

Legal basis:

The data entered in the contact form is processed on the basis of a legitimate interest (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR).


By providing the contact form, we would like to make it easy for you to contact us. The information you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing the request and for possible follow-up questions.


If you contact us to request an offer, the data entered in the contact form will be processed to carry out pre-contractual measures (Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR).

Recipient:

Data recipients may be processors

Storage duration:

Data will be deleted no later than 6 months after processing the request.


If there is a contractual relationship, we are subject to the statutory retention periods according to the German Commercial Code and delete your data after these periods have expired.

Mandatory or required provision:

The provision of your personal data is voluntary. However, we can only process your request if you provide us with your name, e-mail address and the reason for the request.

SSL encryption

In order to protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS.


Information about your right of objection according to Art. 21 GDPR

Type and purpose of processing:

You have the right, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data relating to you, which is based on Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR (data processing on the basis of a balance of interests); this also applies to profiling based on this provision within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 4 GDPR.


If you file an objection, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
