Cookies
​
“Cookies” are small files that are stored on your own device.
Temporary cookies or “session cookies” are cookies that are automatically deleted when the visitor closes their browser. These cookies are often technically necessary and are used to identify you during the session. This can be necessary for a e.g. login or for a shopping cart in a shop system.
“Permanent” refers to cookies that remain stored even after the browser has been closed. Thus, e.g. the login status will be stored for a long time.
​
A “third party cookie” refers to cookies that are stored by providers other than the visited online offer. These cookies are usually used for “tracking”, e.g. tracking the surfing behavior.
If you do not want to save cookies, make the appropriate setting in your browser. Saved cookies can be deleted in the system settings of the browser. The exclusion of cookies can lead to functional restrictions of this online offer, especially if also temporary (session) cookies are prohibited.
Deletion of Data
​
Unless stated in this Privacy Policy, the information we store will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for its intended purpose.
​
Some data, e.g. those arising from commercial or tax law must be retained by law and will not be deleted before the deadline expires. If you wish to delete, this data will be restricted and not used for any other purpose.
​
Collection of access data and log files
​
Based on our legitimate interests, our hosting service provider collects data about every access to the server on which this service resides (so-called server log files). The access data includes the name of the retrieved web page, file, date and time of retrieval, amount of data transferred, notification of successful retrieval, browser type and version, the user’s operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider (Article 6 (1) lit. GDPR).
Logfile information is stored for security purposes (e.g. to investigate abusive) for a maximum of 30 days. Data whose further retention is required for evidential purposes are excluded from the erasure until the final clarification of the incident.
​
Provision of Contractual Services
​
We process inventory data (e.g., names and addresses and user contact information), contract data (e.g., services used, contact names, billing information) to fulfill our contractual obligations and services. The entries marked as mandatory in online forms are required for the conclusion of the contract (Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR).

The processing of the data entered into the contact form takes place exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. GDPR).
​
A revocation of your already given consent is possible at any time. For the revocation is sufficient an informal message by e-mail. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Google Analytics
​
This website uses the “Google Analytics” service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheater Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, UA) to analyze users’ website usage. The service uses cookies, which are stored on your device. The information collected by the cookies is usually sent to a Google server in the US and stored there.
​
This website uses the IP anonymization. The IP address of the users is shortened within the member states of the EU and the European Economic Area.

Under the terms of the agreement, which website operators have entered into with Google Inc., they use the information collected to compile an evaluation of website activity, and provide Internet-related services.

​
Google reCAPTCHA
​
To prevent abuse of the contact form for SPAM purposes, we are using Google reCAPTCHA from Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). With reCAPTCHA we can determine whether you are really a flesh and blood human being and not a robot or other spam software. With the classic CAPTCHAS, you usually had to solve text or image puzzles to verify. With Google’s reCAPTCHA we usually don’t have to bother you with such puzzles. In most cases, it is sufficient to simply check the box to confirm that you are not a bot. For this purpose, Google stores information in order to be able to identify you later as a “human being” and thus make the use of our contact form as convenient as possible for you.
​
The legal basis for this use is article 6 (1) f (legality of processing), as there is a legitimate interest in protecting this website from bots and spam software.
