Should you make personal data available to us within the scope of establishing contact (e.g., by sending an e-mail), this information will only be processed by us if such processing is permitted by the statutory provisions. Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR serves as a legal basis for the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party. This also applies to the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

In certain cases, we are subject to legal obligations when processing personal data, for which Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR serves as the legal basis. When processing personal data for which we obtain the data subject’s consent, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

We process and store personal data for a specific purpose if this is necessary to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations (including statutory storage obligations) and to safeguard our legitimate interests. In addition, any disclosure of personal data to third parties only takes place within the scope of the aforementioned legal bases. If the data is no longer required for the purposes mentioned above, it will be deleted. Exceptions to this may exist on the basis of:

  • voluntary consent

Our employees are bound to secrecy and compliance with the provisions of the current data protection legislation. The access to personal data by our employees is limited to those employees who need the respective data due to their professional tasks. In some cases, we also use external service providers to process personal data, which are contractually commissioned in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.

We use the necessary technical and organizational security measures to protect personal data against loss, accidental or intentional manipulation, access by unauthorized third parties and/or destruction.

This website uses SSL encryption for security reasons. An encrypted connection can be recognized by the character string “https://” and the padlock symbol in your browser line. However, we wish to point out that data transmission by e-mail is not secure due to the possibility of security gaps. Complete protection of the transmitted data against access by third parties is therefore not possible.
