Privacy Policy

The protection of your personal data is of major importance to us:

We are delighted in your interest in our company and our products and services, and we also wish you to feel secure with regard to the protection of your personal data when visiting our internet pages. We therefore take the protection of your personal data very seriously. This is why it goes without saying for us to adhere to the provisions of the German Federal Data Protection Act

We want you to know which data we record and how we use them. We have adopted technical and organisational measures that ensure that the regulations regarding privacy and data protection are observed, both by us and by external service providers who work for us.


Legal basis of processing

Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a DSGVO serves as the legal basis for our company for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for a delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b DSGVO. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which the processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. p. 1 lit. c DSGVO. In rare cases, the processing of personal data might become necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, Art. 6 para. p. 1 lit. d DSGVO. Finally, processing operations could also be based on Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overridden.

Personal data

Personal data is information concerning your identity such as for example your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address. In order to use our website, you do not have to disclose any personal data. However, in certain cases we will need your name and address as well as additional data so that we may provide you with the services requested.

The same applies to the mailing of information material, goods ordered with us, and for the answering of individual queries. Where this is necessary, we will inform you accordingly.

In as far as you request services from us, normally only those data are collected that are necessary to perform the service requested. If we ask you for additional data, the information in question is voluntary. Personal data will only be processed for the purpose of providing the service you have asked for, and in order to protect our own legitimate business interests.
