However, in order to improve our online presence and identify trends, personal data such as your IP address, the pages visited, the browser used, the date, time, etc., are analysed anonymously using „Google Analytics“.

Furthermore, we process personal data solely on the basis of a legal justification pursuant to Art. 6 GDPR, in particular insofar as this is necessary for the performance of a contract.

We do not sell your personal data, nor do we exchange or pass it on to third parties.

Contact form

In some cases we ask you for the voluntary provision of data, such as your name, address, e-mail address etc. This serves to improve customer service.

The data you entered in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
