Definitions

Our privacy policy should be simple and understandable for everyone. It generally uses the official terms of the General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO). The official definitions are explained in Art. 4 DSGVO.

Data processing by visiting our website

When you visit our website, it is technically necessary that data is transmitted to our web server via your Internet browser. The following data is recorded during an ongoing connection for communication between your Internet browser and our web server:

  • Visited domain
  • date and time of the request
  • page from which the file was requested
  • Access status (file transferred, file not found, etc.)
  • Web browser and operating system used
  • IP address of the requesting computer
  • Transmitted data volume

We collect the listed data to ensure a smooth connection establishment of the website and to enable a comfortable use of our website by the users. In addition, this log file serves the evaluation of system security and stability as well as administrative purposes.

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data or log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

For reasons of technical security, in particular to prevent attempts to attack our web server, these data may be temporarily stored by us. It is not possible for us to draw conclusions about individual person on the basis of this data. After seven days at the latest, the data is made anonymous by shortening the IP address at domain level, so that it is no longer possible to establish a reference to the individual user. These data are not evaluated in anonymous form except for statistical purposes. These data are not combined with data from other data sources.

Contact form and contact by e-mail

If you send us enquiries via contact form or e-mail, your details from the enquiry form or your e-mail and surname, including the contact data you provided there, will be stored for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. These data can be passed on to our international partners (Sales, Service or Schooling) for processing. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 letter f DSGVO and, if applicable, Art. 6 para. 1 letter b DSGVO, provided that your request is aimed at concluding a contract. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your inquiry, provided that there are no legal storage obligations to the contrary.

Enrollment

You have the possibility to register for certain services provided on our website and thus create a user profile. We collect and use the following personal data during registration and setup:

  • First name, surname, salutation
  • Address
  • User's e-mail address
  • date and time of registration

In addition, voluntary information can be provided (e.g. telephone number etc.). Mandatory data provided for the purpose of registration are marked with an asterisk in the input mask as a mandatory field. With your user account you will have the possibility to use further parts of our website and to log in for the offers you have purchased. If consent is given, the legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO, insofar as the processing is necessary for the provision of the requested services. Your data will be deleted as soon as the user account on our website is deleted and insofar as there are no legal storage obligations. You can usually change and/or delete your user account, including the data you have provided, directly in your user account after logging in or by sending a message to the responsible person named at the beginning.

Shop

To access our online shop, we offer the option of registering to create a customer account by entering personal data. The data is entered into an input mask and transmitted to us and saved. The data will not be passed on to third parties. When registering for a customer account, we store the following data necessary for the conclusion and fulfilment of the contract:

  • prename
  • last name
  • street address
  • email

A registration of the user is necessary to fulfil the contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures or to provide the desired services. The legal basis for the processing of data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO. The data will be deleted when the data is no longer required for the execution of the contract. Even after conclusion of the contract, it may be necessary to store personal data of our contractual partners in order to fulfil contractual or legal obligations. As a user you have the possibility to cancel the registration at any time. Premature deletion of data is only possible if there are no contractual or legal obligations to the contrary.
