3. Collection and Processing of Personal Data
When you use our website for informational purposes only, i.e., if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect the data that your browser transmits to our server (so-called "server log files"). When you visit our website, we collect the following data that is technically necessary for us to display the website to you:

- Date and time of the request
- Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
- Content of the request (specific page)
- Access status/HTTP status code

- Language and version of the browser software
The mentioned data are processed by us for the following purposes:
- Ensuring a smooth connection to the website
- Ensuring comfortable use of our website
- Evaluation of system security and stability
- For other administrative purposes
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes of data collection listed above.
5. Contact Form
For any questions, we offer you the opportunity to contact us through a form provided on the website. A valid email address is required so that we know where the request came from and to be able to respond to it. Additional information (name, phone number, message content) is also collected to process your request.
The data submitted through the contact form is stored in our email system and used exclusively for processing and responding to your inquiry. We do not share this data without your consent.
The data processing for the purpose of contacting us is carried out in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR on the basis of your voluntarily provided consent, as well as in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request aims at the conclusion of a contract.
The personal data collected by us for the use of the contact form will be automatically deleted after your request has been processed, unless legal retention obligations exist or we have a legitimate interest in further storage (e.g., in the case of a subsequent order).
In connection with the data processing for the operation of the contact form, your data will not be transferred to third parties. Please note, however, that emails are generally not sent encrypted and the sender cannot guarantee that the data provided cannot be viewed by third parties during transmission.
6. Social Media
We maintain online presences within social networks to communicate with active customers, interested parties, and users, and to inform them about our services.
We would like to point out that user data may be processed outside the European Union. This may result in risks for users, as the enforcement of user rights could be more difficult.
Furthermore, user data within social networks is typically processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, user profiles can be created based on user behavior and resulting interests. These usage profiles can in turn be used to place advertisements within and outside the networks that presumably match the interests of the users. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on the users' computers, in which the user behavior and interests are stored. Moreover, data can also be stored in the usage profiles independently of the devices used by the users (especially if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in to them).
The processing of users' personal data is based on our legitimate interests in effectively informing users and communicating with users according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
For a detailed description of the respective processing operations and the opt-out options, we refer to the information linked below from the providers.
In the case of requests for information and the assertion of user rights, we would like to point out that these can be most effectively asserted with the providers. Only the providers have access to the users' data and can directly take appropriate measures and provide information. If you still need help, you can contact us.
