Our website can usually be used without providing personal data. Insofar as personal data (e.g., name, address or email addresses) are collected on our website, this is always done on a voluntary basis as far as possible. These data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.

We point out that data transmission via Internet (e.g., communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of data against third parties’ access is not possible.

Hereby, we expressly object the use of the contact data published as part of the imprint obligation by third parties to send advertising and information materials that have not been expressly requested. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam mail.

2. Data Categories, Purpose of Processing and Legal Basis

In the context of cooperation with business partners, we process personal data for the following purposes:

• communication with business partners about products and services, e.g., to process inquiries from business partners,
• planning, implementation and administration of the (contractual) business relationship between us and the business partner, e.g., to process the order for products and services, collect payments, for accounting, billing and debt collection purposes and to carry out deliveries, maintenance activities or repairs,
• compliance with legal requirements (e.g., tax and commercial retention obligations).

For the purposes mentioned above, we may process the following categories of personal data:

We co-operate with service providers (so-called processors), such as service providers for IT maintenance services. These service providers only act on our instructions and are contractually obliged to comply with the applicable data protection requirements.

4. Storage Periods

If no defined storage period is specified during the collection (e.g., in the context of a declaration of consent), your personal data will be deleted if they are no longer required to fulfill the purpose of storage, unless there are statutory retention obligations (e.g., commercial and tax retention obligations) towards deletion.
