Unless otherwise stated in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose of processing has been fulfilled. If you submit a valid request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons to retain it (e.g., commercial or tax retention obligations). In such cases, deletion will occur once those reasons no longer apply.
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR if special categories of data are involved. If you have expressly consented to the transfer of personal data to third countries, processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR.

When using processors, we pass on personal data only under a valid data processing agreement. In cases of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may revoke any consent given at any time. The legality of processing carried out prior to revocation remains unaffected.

This website uses SSL/TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content (e.g. orders or inquiries you send to us). A secure connection is indicated by “https://” in the browser’s address bar and a padlock icon.
Once SSL/TLS encryption is active, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Our website uses so‑called “cookies”. Cookies are small data packages and do not cause any harm to your device. They are stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently on your device (persistent cookies). Session cookies are deleted automatically after your visit. Persistent cookies remain until you delete them or your browser removes them automatically.
Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third parties (third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third parties within web pages (e.g. cookies for payment services).
Cookies serve different purposes. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions wouldn’t work without them (e.g. shopping cart or video display). Others may be used to analyze user behaviour or for advertising.
Cookies required for electronic communication, to provide desired functionality (e.g. shopping cart), or to optimize the website (e.g. audience measurement) are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is indicated. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for technically error‑free and optimized service delivery. If consent to store cookies or similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing is based exclusively on that consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG); consent can be withdrawn at any time.
You may configure your browser settings to be informed about the use of cookies and to allow them only on an individual basis, to block them in certain cases or generally, or to enable automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit functionality of this website.
Which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this privacy policy.
Our website uses the consent technology “Real Cookie Banner” to obtain and document your consent for certain cookies or technologies on your device. Provider: devowl.io GmbH, Tannet 12, 94539 Grafling (“Real Cookie Banner”).
Real Cookie Banner is installed locally on our servers, so there is no connection to the provider’s servers. It sets a cookie in your browser to associate your consent decisions. The data remains stored until you request deletion, delete the Real Cookie Banner cookie yourself, or the purpose for data storage ends. Mandatory retention periods remain unaffected.
Use of Real Cookie Banner is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.
Our provider automatically captures and stores information in server log files sent by your browser. These include:
These data are not merged with other data sources.
Data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in technically error‑free presentation and optimization of the website — hence server log files must be recorded.
If you submit inquiries via the contact form, your data from the form, including contact details you provide, is stored to process your inquiry and for follow‑up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
Processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry relates to contract fulfillment or pre‑contractual measures. In other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling inquiries (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), if asked; consent may be revoked at any time.
Your data remains with us until you request deletion, revoke consent, or the purpose for storage lapses (e.g., after your inquiry is fully processed). Mandatory legal retention periods remain unaffected.
We use AI‑powered services and/or applications on our website.
If you interact with elements of our website that employ artificial intelligence (e.g. chatbot), your inputs including metadata are processed to generate an appropriate response or reaction.
Use of these AI features is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in using modern technology to enhance services and identify new customer interaction potential. If consent is required, processing is based exclusively on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be revoked at any time.
Further information on data processing by this tool or service is provided in the relevant sections of this privacy policy.
If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your inquiry including any personal data (e.g. name, request) is stored and processed to respond. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
Processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry relates to contract fulfillment or pre‑contractual measures. Otherwise, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling your request (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), if given; consent may be revoked at any time.
Your data remains with us until you request deletion, revoke consent, or the purpose expires (e.g., after processing). Mandatory retention laws remain unaffected.

This website embeds YouTube videos. Provider: Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
When you visit a page on which YouTube is embedded, your browser connects to YouTube’s servers, which then may know which page you visited.

We use the enhanced privacy mode for YouTube. Videos played in this mode are not used for behavioural personalization, and ads are not personalised. No cookies are set; however, browser local storage may be used to store elements similar to cookies containing personal data for recognition purposes.
