The following data protection safeguards are in place:
Contact Form
Type and Purpose of Processing:
The data you enter will be stored for the purpose of communicating with you individually. A valid email address and your name are required for this purpose. This information is used to identify and respond to your inquiry. Providing any additional information is optional.
Legal Basis:
The processing of the data entered into the contact form is based on our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
By providing the contact form, we aim to make it easy for you to contact us. The information you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing your inquiry and for any follow-up questions.
If you contact us to request an offer, the data entered into the contact form will be processed in order to take steps prior to entering into a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).
Recipients:
Recipients of the data may include data processors.
Storage Period:
The data will be deleted no later than 6 months after your inquiry has been processed.
If a contractual relationship is established, we are subject to the statutory retention periods under the German Commercial Code (HGB) and will delete your data once these retention periods have expired.
Provision Required or Necessary:
The provision of your personal data is voluntary. However, we can only process your inquiry if you provide us with your name, email address, and the reason for your inquiry.
SSL Encryption
To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS.
Information on Your Right to Object under Art. 21 GDPR
Right to Object in Individual Cases
You have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you that is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (processing based on a balancing of legitimate interests). This also applies to profiling based on this provision within the meaning of Art. 4(4) GDPR.
If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or unless the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
