Personal data includes, for example, name, address, date of birth, occupation, company affiliation, but also information such as professional skills, hob-bies, behavior, etc. The purpose of the German Federal Data Protection Act and other specific standards is to protect the rights and freedoms of data subjects with regard to their data from mis-use.
3. Collection of personal data when visiting our website
When using the website for information purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. If you wish to view our website, we collect the data that is technically necessary for us to display the website to you (legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR) and to ensure stability and security (legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 32 (1) GDPR and Section 19 (1) German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG).
The logged data is neither used to create user profiles nor passed on to third parties unless we are legally obliged to disclose the collected data. Log data with complete, personally identifiable IP addresses that are stored by us for reasons of technical security, in particular to defend against attempted attacks on our web server, are deleted or anonymized after 7 days at the latest.
4. Contact form
You can use our contact form to send us an inquiry. The personal data that you provide to us as part of this inquiry will only be used to respond to your inquiry. (Legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR)
The personal data from your request will be deleted after processing has been completed. However, depending on the content of your inquiry, retention periods under tax and commercial law will be taken into account, which may be up to 10 years.

With your consent, you can subscribe to our newsletter, which we use to inform you about the topics listed in the newsletter description. In addition to specialist topics, our newsletter also regularly contains advertising for our products and services. (The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).
We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to subscribe to our newsletter. This means that after you have registered, we will send you an e-mail to the e-mail address you have provided in which we ask you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration within two weeks, your information will be blocked and automatically deleted. We also store the IP addresses you use and the times of registration and confirmation. The purpose of this procedure is to be able to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify any possible misuse of your personal data.
The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your e-mail address. The provision of further data is voluntary and is used to address you personally and to optimize the information offered. After your confirmation, we will save your e-mail address for the purpose of sending you the newsletter.
You can revoke your consent to the sending of a newsletter at any time and unsubscribe from the newsletter. You can declare your revocation by clicking on the unsubscribe link provided in every newsletter e-mail. In the event of revocation, we will delete your data that is no longer required.
