We would like to inform you, in accordance with our legal obligation, about the collection and use of your personal data.
When you use our website, personal data about you is collected. This can occur when you enter data independently, such as your email address. Our system also automatically collects data from you, such as your visit to our website. This happens regardless of the device or software you use to access our website.
Any data input you provide on our website is voluntary, and you will not experience any disadvantages by not disclosing your data.

Data processing is permitted under the DSGVO in three cases in particular:
We collect inventory data to the extent that it is necessary for the establishment, content or modification of a contractual relationship (also free of charge) between us and the user. This may include: Customer data (e.g. name, address), contact data (e.g. e-mail address, telephone number), performance data (e.g. ordered service, term, fee). When establishing the user relationship, we will request this data from you (e.g. name, address and e-mail address) and also inform you of the extent to which the information is required in each case in order to establish the user relationship.

You can send this objection at any time to the address given in the imprint or to the responsible person named in this privacy policy.The legal basis for this data processing is, on the one hand, our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO in the analysis of the website and its use, and, if applicable, also the legal permission to store data as part of the initiation of a contractual relationship pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO.

If you contact us electronically (e.g. e-mail, fax, telephone, messenger, etc.), we store and process the data you have provided us with (e.g. name, contact information, content of the inquiry). The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in effective customer communication pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and, insofar as it concerns a request to enter into or fulfill a contract, also Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b DSGVO.
We will only pass on this data to third parties insofar as it is necessary (according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b DSGVO) for the fulfillment of the contract, this corresponds to the overriding interest in effective performance (according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) or your consent (according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO) or another legal permission or obligation exists.

Where we ask for your consent to process your data, we will inform you in clear language and in an easily accessible way about the cases for which you are giving your consent. Any consent we ask for is voluntary, any benefit you wish to obtain by giving consent can be obtained without the consent, just ask us.

For your inventory data that was required for the fulfillment of a contractual relationship (also free of charge), this means that we store it until the complete fulfillment or termination of the contractual relationship plus the limitation period (which is generally 2 or 3 years) plus an appropriate surcharge for any interruption of the limitation period.
For your usage data collected on the occasion of your use of the website, this means that we will only store it for as long as this is still necessary for the proper functioning of our website and our legitimate interest is sufficient.

If you have set or otherwise made a deactivation of cookies, this will be observed for all tracking tags that were used with the Google Tag Manager, so the tool does not change your cookie settings.
