Processing of Personal Data

In the context of our website, we process your personal data in, among others, the following ways (for other processing of personal data collected on our website, please refer to the following clauses of this privacy policy):

Logfiles when you visit our website

When visiting our website, our host provider protocols, for every access to its servers, so-called “logfile” data such as the name of the retrieved website, the previously visited website (“referrer” URL), product and version information of the used browser and operating system, the retrieving provider, date and time of access, used search engines, country of access, transferred data volume, name of downloaded files, and the IP address.

Legal basis for the respective processing of data is Article 6 (1) f) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our legitimate interest in the storage of logfile data is based on the provision of system security including the clarification of cases of data abuse. The IP address will be deleted within max. 7 days unless it is required for a longer period of time due to a security related event, e.g. for purposes of clarification or proof.

Contact Enquiries:

When you send us a contact enquiry via email, we process the personal data that we need to respond to your enquiry, such as your name, postal address and email address.

The legal basis for processing your personal data in connection with contact enquiries is Article 6 (1) b) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

In conjunction with contact requests, we store your personal data for as long as is necessary to process your request, including an appropriate retention period for follow-up questions.

The provision of this personal data is not prescribed by law or contract, and it is not necessary for the purpose of entering into a contract. However, if you decide not to disclose this data to us, we will not be able to respond to your contact enquiry or – if you have provided only limited contact details – we will not be able to respond to it via all available communication channels.

Registrations/ Orders

When you register or place an order with us via email we process the personal data that we need to perform a contract with you, or to take steps at your request prior to entering into the contract, such as name, address, e-mail address, date of birth, chosen user name and payment details.

Personal data which is collected during the registration or order process is stored for as long as it takes to perform the contract (where applicable including the provision of a customer account), and/or to take steps at your request prior to entering into the contract, and/or to meet warranty, guarantee or similar obligations, and/or to comply with statutory archiving requirements.

The legal bases for processing the personal data collected in connection with registrations or orders are Article 6 (1) b) and Article 6 (1) c) of the General Data Protection Regulation.

The provision of this personal data is not prescribed by law or contract. However, it is necessary to enter into the contract, i.e. to complete the registration or order, if the data is mandatory (as opposed to voluntarily) in the registration/order process.
