General information

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. Nevertheless, we would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible. When you use this website, various personal data is collected, i.e. data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

Data acquisition

When you contact us by e-mail or via a contact form, the data you provide (your e-mail address, possibly your name and telephone number) will be stored by us in order to answer your questions. We delete the data arising in this context after storage is no longer required, or restrict processing if there are statutory retention obligations.

If you use the website for information purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. If you wish to view our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display our website to you and to ensure stability and security (log files). The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR:

• IP address

• Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
• Content of the request (specific page)
• Access status/http status code
• Amount of data transferred in each case
• Website from which the request comes

Your rights regarding your data

Access, rectification, restriction, erasure, data portability

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to obtain information free of charge at any time about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to rectification, restriction or erasure of this data. You also have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place if it is technically feasible. You can contact us at any time if you have any questions about your rights or other questions on the subject of personal data.

Right of appeal

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. The supervisory authority is, for example, the state data protection officer of the federal state in which our company is based, i.e. the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of Baden-Württemberg. Further information and contact details can be found at the following link:

Revocation of your consent

You can revoke any consent you have already given at any time, e.g. by e-mail. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

SSL/TLS encryption

To ensure the confidentiality of communication with you, we use state-of-the-art SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognize such encrypted connections by the designation “https://” in the page link in the address line of your browser, as well as by the green lock symbol in the address line. Unencrypted pages are marked with “http://”. Data that you transmit to this website, for example when placing orders or making inquiries, cannot be read by third parties thanks to SSL encryption.
