Personal data is any information, which is related to an identified or identifiable natural person (data subject) according to Art. 4 (1) GDPR, such as your name, address, telephone number, and IP address.

The use of our website is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special services via our website, such as a contact form, or voluntarily sending us data for an inquiry via email, then processing of this personal data is necessary. When the processing of personal data is necessary, we generally obtain consent from the user in advance. Personal data will only be processed by us to the extent necessary and for the purpose of providing a functional and user-friendly website, including its contents, and the services offered therein.

Data sent to us is stored until you request to erasure, withdraw your consent to the storage of data, or when the purpose, for which the data has been retained, no longer exists (for instance after processing your inquiry). Legal provisions in particular regarding the data retention time remain unaffected.

  • Websites accede by the user’s system via our website
  • Search engine used

We collect and process this type of data in anonymous form to ensure the data cannot be connected to a specific person. Storage of such data along with other personal user data does not take place.
