Legal and sustainable business practices.

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this data protection declaration.

As a rule, it is possible to use our website without providing personal data. Insofar as personal data (e.g. name, address or e-mail addresses) is collected on our pages, this is always done, as far as possible, on a voluntary basis. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.

We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

We process the following personal data about you for the following purposes:

1. order and order processing: address data, contact data of employees such as telephone number or e-mail address.
2. contacting: address data, contact data of employees such as telephone number, email address, social media, etc.

Furthermore, there may be a legitimate interest on our part to carry out advertising measures or marketing campaigns on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO, provided that no consent is required from you for these purposes.

If the provision of your personal data is necessary for the conclusion of the contract or the business relationship existing between you and us or for the provision of services by us, you are generally obliged not to provide us with your personal data, we cannot continue our business relationship with you.
