3. Data protection when visiting our website and contacting us

Encryption of the website; Internet security

Our website is SSL- or TLS-encrypted for reasons of security and to protect the transmission of confidential contents, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the website provider. Nevertheless, we would like to point out that security loopholes may occur in the course of data transmission via the Internet (e.g. in communication via e-mail). Complete protection of your personal data from access by third parties is not possible.

Inquiries via e-mail, telephone or telefax

You can contact us via telephone, telefax or e-mail.

The personal data of the user transmitted to us are stored. No data collected in this conjunction are passed on or disclosed to third parties. The data are used exclusively for processing our conversation.

The personal data collected from telephone calls, transmitted in telefaxes or contained in e-mails are processed exclusively within the framework of your contact with us. This is also the basis for the required legitimate interest in the processing of such data provided to us.

Legal basis for processing the data transmitted in the course of contacting us is Art. 6 (1), Position f of the GDPR (weighing of interests). If the contacting is aimed at conclusion or performance of a contract, then the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1), Point (b) of the GDPR).

The data transmitted by you for the purpose of communication will be deleted once we have received your notice or have finally answered your inquiry and the conversation is ended. The conversation is deemed ended if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter concerned is finally clarified. The data can, however, remain stored intermediately if this is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or if legal archiving requirements exist. This can apply, in particular if the contacting resulted in a contract. In this case, your data can only be stored as long as this is necessary for performing the contract and thereafter, e.g. for the establishment or defence of warranty claims.

When contacting us, you can object to storing your personal data at any time. In such a case, however, the conversation cannot be continued. All personal data stored in the course of contacting us will be deleted. The data can, however, remain stored intermediately if this is necessary for processing your orders and for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or if legal archiving requirements exist.
