This includes information such as your real name, address, telephone number and date of birth. Information which cannot be linked to your real identity – such as favorite websites or number of users of a site – is not considered personal data.

Additional personal information such as your name, address, telephone number or e-mail address is not collected unless you provide this data voluntarily, e.g. while completing an online contact form, as part of a registration, survey, competition, fulfillment of contract or an information request.

The legal basis for the processing of the aforementioned data categories is Art. 6 (1) (a) of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Due to the said purposes, in particular to guarantee security and a smooth connection setup, we have a legitimate interest to process this data.

The data will be stored for a period of 25 months and then automatically deleted. Furthermore, we are using cookies, tracking-tools and targeting measures. You will find more details hereto below under the section Use of Cookies.

4. Online Presence and Website Optimization

We use tracking software to determine how many users visit our website and how often. We do not use this software to collect individual personal data or individual IP addresses. The data are used solely in anonymous and summarized form for statistical purposes and for developing the website.
