Terminology
Legislation requires that personal data be processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner in relation to the data subject ("lawfulness, fairness and transparency"). In order to ensure this is the case, we are providing an explanation of the individual legal terms that are also used in this privacy statement:

Data subject
"A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the entity responsible for its processing. "Data subjects" can always use our website without divulging their identity and without providing personal data. However, should you wish to request information, we will ask for your name and other personal information. You are free to decide whether or not to enter this information. You can see which details are required for use in the contact form (mandatory fields).
Personal data
"Personal data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ("data subject"); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

There is no automated decision-making based on your personal data in conjunction with use of our website.
Processing
"Processing" means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
Restriction of processing
"Restriction of processing" means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.
Profiling
"Profiling" means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.
Pseudonymisation
"Pseudonymisation" means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data cannot be attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
Filing system
"Filing system" means any structured set of personal data which are accessible according to specific criteria, whether centralised, decentralised or dispersed on a functional or geographical basis.
Controller
"Controller" means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or member state law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or member state law.
Processor
"Processor" means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
Recipient
"Recipient" means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data is disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or member state law shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of that data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing.
Third party
"Third party" means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.
Consent
"Consent" of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

Security and protection of your personal data
We consider it our primary responsibility to protect the confidentiality of the personal data you provide and to protect it from unauthorised access. That is why we use the utmost care and state-of-the-art security standards to ensure the maximum protection of your personal data.

As a private company, we are subject to the provisions of the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the regulations of the German Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz, or BDSG). We have taken technical and organizational measures to ensure that the data protection rules are respected both by us and by our external service providers.

Processing personal information
We essentially use your personal data to render the service you have requested. (E.g. query, order, etc.) We will not pass your data on to third parties without your express consent. Data will only be passed on if you yourself have consented to this or if we are authorised or obligated to do so due to legal regulations and/or official or judicial orders. In particular, this may concern the exchange of information for purposes of criminal prosecution, for protection against threats or for exercising intellectual property rights.

Lawfulness of processing
The processing of personal data is only lawful if there is a legal basis for processing. Pursuant to Art. 6, Para. 1, lit. a–f of the GDPR, the legal basis for the processing may include, in particular:

The data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes.
Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.
Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.
Processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person.
Processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.

Information on the collection of personal data
(1) Below we describe the collection of personal data when using our website. Personal data refers to such information as names, addresses, email addresses, user behaviour.

(2) In the event of you getting in contact with us via email or through a contact form, the data you supply (your email address, perhaps also your name and telephone number) is saved by us in order to be able to respond to your queries. We delete the data accumulated in these circumstances once there is no further need for it to be saved, or processing is limited, if statutory retention requirements exist. Deletion of data can be requested at any time. Otherwise, deletion occurs once a matter has been fully resolved.

Collection of personal data when visiting our website
In the case of mere informational use of the website – in other words, if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information – we will only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. If you want to view our website, we collect the following data which is technically necessary for us to display our website to you and to ensure its stability and security (legal basis is Art 6, Para. 1, p. 1, lit. f of the GDPR):

IP address
Date and time of your query
Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
Content of the query (specific page)
Access status / HTTP status code
Data volume transmitted in each case
Website, from which the request came
Browser
Operating system and its interface
Language and version of the browser Software

Consequences of non-provision
We make it clear to you that the provision of personal data is in part legally prescribed (e.g. tax regulations) or may be required by contractual regulations (e.g. information regarding a contractual partner). Occasionally, a data subject providing us with personal data which then has to be processed by us may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract. The data subject may then, for example, be obligated to provide us with personal data if our company is concluding a contract with the data subject. The non-provision of personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject would not be able to be concluded. Prior to the provision of personal data by the data subject, the data subject must refer to one of our employees. Our employee will clarify to the data subject whether or not the provision of personal data is legally or contractually prescribed or is required for contract conclusion, whether an obligation exists to provide personal data and the consequences of not providing personal data in each specific case.

Data deletion and storage duration
We always delete or block your personal data if the purpose of storing it ceases to exist. Beyond this, however, storage may be performed if this is prescribed by legal provisions to which we are subject, such as in relation to statutory retention and documentation obligations. In such instances, we delete or block your personal data once the relevant provision ceases.

The right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") shall not apply where processing is necessary:

For exercising the right to freedom of expression and information;
For compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or member state law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
