4. Data collection on our website

server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • operating system used
  • referrer URL
  • host name of the accessing computer
  • Time of server request
  • IP address

This data is not combined with other data sources.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO, which permits the processing of data to fulfill a contract or pre-contractual measures.

contact form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, we will store your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.

The data entered in the contact form is therefore processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You can withdraw this consent at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal message by e-mail. The legality of the data processing operations carried out up to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions — in particular retention periods — remain unaffected.

6. Plug-ins and tools

Google Web Fonts

This site uses so-called web fonts, which are provided by Google, to uniformly display fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to correctly display texts and fonts.

For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect to Google's servers. As a result, Google becomes aware that our website has been accessed via your IP address. Google Web Fonts are used in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offerings. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer.
