Cookies

The web pages use technically necessary cookies. These serve to make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer and stored by your browser.

Insofar as other cookies are stored, these are treated separately in this Privacy Policy.

Server Log Files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These include:

Browser type and browser version

Operating system used

Referrer URL

Hostname of the accessing computer

Time of the server request

IP address

This data is not combined with other data sources.

The collection of this data is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and the optimization of its website—to this end, the server log files must be collected.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form—including the contact details you provided therein—will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We do not pass this data on without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, insofar as your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries directed to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if such consent has been requested. The data you enter into the contact form remains with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for the data storage ceases to apply (e.g., after your inquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions—in particular retention periods—remain unaffected.

Inquiry via email, telephone, or fax

If you contact us via email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry—including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry)—will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, insofar as your inquiry relates to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) and/or on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR), as we have a legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us.

The data you transmit to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for the data storage ceases to apply (e.g., after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions—in particular statutory retention periods—remain unaffected.

Data Processing (Customer and Contract Data)

We collect, process, and use personal data only insofar as it is necessary for the establishment, content-related structuring, or modification of the legal relationship (inventory data). This is done on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or for pre-contractual measures. We collect, process, and use personal data regarding the use of this website (usage data) only insofar as this is necessary to enable the user to utilize the service or to bill for it.

The collected customer data will be deleted following the completion of the order or the termination of the business relationship. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected. Data Transmission Upon Conclusion of Contracts for Services and Digital Content

We transmit personal data to third parties only when this is necessary for the fulfillment of the contract—for instance, to the financial institution responsible for payment processing.

No further transmission of data takes place, or occurs only if you have expressly consented to such transmission. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent—for example, for advertising purposes.

The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b of the GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

5. Third-Party Content on the Website

Our website integrates content from other providers. This may consist of purely content-based elements (e.g., news items), but also widgets (functions, such as booking systems), or—for instance—fonts and technical libraries. This includes Google Fonts. For technical reasons, this integration is achieved by having your browser load this content from external servers. In this context, the IP address currently used by your browser and the specific browser used by the requesting system are transmitted. In this regard, please consult the respective privacy policies of the third-party providers.

OpenStreetMap

We use the open-source mapping service “OpenStreetMap” (also referred to as “OSM”)—provided by the OpenStreetMap Foundation, 132 Maney Hill Road, Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, B72 1JU, United Kingdom—to display geographic data. OSM serves to provide an interactive map on our website, showing you how to find and reach us. This service enables us to present our website in an appealing manner by loading map material from an external server. The following data is transmitted to OSM’s servers during this display process: the specific pages of our website you have visited, the IP address of your device, and any data you have entered for route planning purposes. The legal basis for the processing of your data in connection with the “OSM” service is Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. f) of the GDPR (legitimate interest in data processing). This legitimate interest stems from our need to present our online offering in an appealing manner and to ensure that the locations listed on our homepage are easily discoverable.
