This notice explains how we process your personal data.

Collection and processing of personal data

You may use our website without disclosing your identity. Where we ask for personal data (such as name, address or email address) on the website, for example in the context of contact forms or during login/registration, this information is provided voluntarily. We use this information for our own business purposes (for example, to send the requested materials/information).

If you have any questions, you may contact us using a form provided on our website. The data marked as mandatory is required to allow us to classify and respond to the enquiry. Further information may be provided voluntarily. Data processing for the purpose of contacting us is realised in accordance with Art. 6(1) clause 1a GDPR subject to your voluntary consent.

The personal data collected by us on the contact form will be deleted once your enquiry has been dealt with and upon expiry of the retention requirements imposed by tax and commercial law.

You may withdraw, with future effect, any consent you have given us, for example, for the purpose of receiving a newsletter or other interesting information from our company, at any time without giving a reason. Please use the above contact form or alternative means of contact for this purpose, as detailed in the newsletter.

Although you can adjust your browser settings to prevent the installation of cookies, we would point out that if you do so, you might not be able to make full use of all the features on this website.

Each time you access the website, logs are created and processed for statistical purposes, with the individual user remaining anonymous:

Disclosure of the data

Your data will not be disclosed to third parties, for commercial or non-commercial purposes, without your express consent. We will only disclose your personal information to third parties if permitted by law [such as on the basis of Article 6 GDPR] and/or required by law.
