4. Data Collection on This Website
Cookies
Our website is built with the STRATO Homepage-Baukasten website builder, which uses cookies. By default, only technically necessary session cookies are set. These are required for the basic operation of the website (e.g., safeguarding functionality and security) and do not process personal data in a way that requires consent under the GDPR. The legal basis for these strictly necessary cookies is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR and § 25(2) No. 2 DDG.
Our website builder displays a cookie banner when the site is loaded. This banner informs visitors about the use of cookies and, where applicable, allows consent to be given or withdrawn for any additional, non-essential cookies (e.g., from third-party tools such as analytics or embedded content, should such services be added in the future). Where such optional cookies are used, the legal basis is your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) DDG. You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future, for example via the cookie banner or your browser settings.
Most browsers also allow you to manage cookie settings independently — for example, to view, delete, or block cookies, or to be notified before a cookie is set. Please note that disabling cookies may limit certain functions of this website.
Should we add third-party services that set additional cookies (e.g., analytics or tracking tools), we will update this section and the cookie banner accordingly — see also Section 5, "Analytics and Third-Party Tools" below.
Contact Form
If you send us inquiries via a contact form, your information from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), if this was requested.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory statutory provisions — in particular retention periods — remain unaffected.
Request by Email, Telephone, or Fax
If you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name, request), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass this data on without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry relates to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), if requested.
