The purpose of data processing on this website is to provide information about the products and services of our company, combined with the possibility for users to contact the relevant contact persons within the company in a targeted manner.
In addition, we process personal data on the following legal bases:
- Art. 6(1) (a) GDPR for the processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.
- Art. 6(1) (b) GDPR for the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract with the data subject and for taking corresponding steps prior to entering into a contract.
- Art. 6(1) (c) GDPR for the processing of personal data necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject under any applicable law of the EU or under any applicable law of a country in which the GDPR applies in whole or in part.
- Art. 6(1) (f) GDPR for the processing of personal data necessary to protect our legitimate interests or those of third parties, provided that the fundamental freedoms and rights and the interests of the data subject do not override those interests. Legitimate interests include, in particular, our business interest in being able to provide our website, information security, the enforcement of our own legal claims and compliance with other legal provisions.
For this purpose, we use service providers that are separately obliged to maintain confidentiality and comply with data protection requirements as part of the provision of services. Data will only be disclosed to authorities where overriding legal provisions apply. A transfer of data to third countries only takes place if the requirements from the provisions in Art. 44 et seq. GDPR are fulfilled.

For our other contact forms, the legal basis for the transmission of data to us is consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. The data will then be deleted. If your request does not give rise to a retention obligation, for example in the case of an order, the data will be deleted after three years.
