Collection of general information when visiting this website. Nature and purpose of the processing:

Information of general nature is automatically collected when you access this website, i.e. even if you have not registered or otherwise transmitted your information. This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of your web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet service provider, your IP address, and the like.

In particular, information is processed for the following purposes:

  • Ensuring proper connection to the website,
  • Ensuring smooth use of the website,
  • System security and stability assessment, and
  • Website optimisation.

Your data will not be used to draw any conclusions about you. Information of this kind may be statistically assessed anonymously to optimise the website and the technology behind it.

Legal basis and legitimate interest:

Data is processed in accordance with Art. 6.1 letter f GDPR on the basis of the legitimate interest to improve the stability and functionality of the website.

Recipient:

The recipient of the data is the processor with whom a processing contract has been concluded and who is responsible for the operation and maintenance of this website. The processor for this website is Ionos SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany.

Storage duration:

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. This is generally the case for the data used to provide the website when the respective session has ended.


Provision mandatory or required:

The provision of the aforementioned personal data is neither legally nor contractually required. However, the service and the functionality of our website cannot be guaranteed without the IP address. In addition, some services may not be available or may be restricted. For this reason, an objection is excluded.
 

Contact form. Nature and purpose of the processing:

The data you enter will be stored for the purpose of personalised communication with you. This requires you to provide a valid e-mail address and your name. This is used to allocate the enquiry and subsequently respond to it. The provision of further data is optional.
 

Legal basis:

The data entered in the contact form is processed on the basis of a legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). 
By providing the contact form, I intend to make it easier for you to contact me. The information you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing your enquiry and for possible follow-up questions.
If you contact me to request a quotation, the data entered in the contact form will be processed to perform certain pre-contractual steps (Art. 6.1 letter b GDPR).
 

Recipient(s):

The recipients of the data are the operator of the website and, if applicable, the processors.
 

Storage duration:

Data will be deleted within 6 months of processing the enquiry. 
The statutory retention periods under the German Commercial Code (HGB) apply in case of a contractual relationship and your data will be deleted upon expiry of these periods.
 

Provision mandatory or required:

The provision of your personal data is voluntary. However, I can only process your enquiry if you give me your name, your e-mail address and the reason for the enquiry.
 

SSL encryption

To protect the security of your data during transmission, state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g. SSL) are used via HTTPS.
 

Information about your right to object in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR

Individual right to object

You have the right to object, on grounds of your particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you with reference to Art. 6.1 letter f GDPR (data processing on the basis of a balancing of interests); this also applies to profiling based on this provision within the meaning of Art. 4 para 4 GDPR.

If you object, I will no longer process your personal data unless I can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Changes to the data protection provisions

I reserve the right to adapt this data protection declaration so that it always complies with the current legal requirements, or to implement changes to my services in the data protection declaration, e.g. when introducing a new service. The new version will then apply to your next visit.
