The protection of your personal data when you visit our website is very important to us. For this reason, we observe the legal provisions on data protection, in particular the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG, as of 25 May 2018 the ‘new BDSG’ in accordance with the GDPR) and the German Telemedia Act (TMG). Any data that you transmit to us will of course be treated as confidential. As a rule, we do not make your data available for use by others unless you have given your consent to this or we are obliged to disclose this data due to official or court orders. The collection, storage, processing and use of your personal data is carried out exclusively in accordance with the following data protection declaration.
Our company uses Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR as the legal basis for processing operations where we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the execution of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, for processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation requiring the processing of personal data, for example to comply with tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data might become necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person (Article 6 (1) (d) GDPR). Finally, processing operations could also be based on Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the above-mentioned legal bases are carried out on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to protect legitimate interests pursued by our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overridden.
Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below. We will only disclose your personal data to third parties if:
