SSL and/or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the
transmission of confidential content, such as purchase orders or inquiries you
submit to us as the website operator, this website uses either an SSL or a TLS
encryption programme. You can recognise an encrypted connection by checking whether
the address line of the browser switches from „http://“ to „https://“ and also by
the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.
If the SSL or TLS
encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third
parties.
Information about, rectification and eradication of data
Within the scope of
the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right to at any time demand
information about your archived personal data, their source and recipients as well
as the purpose of the processing of your data. You may also have a right to have
your data rectified or eradicated. If you have questions about this subject matter
or any other questions about personal data, please do not hesitate to contact us at
any time at the address provided in section „Information Required by Law.“
Right to demand processing restrictions

imposition of restrictions as far as the processing of your personal data is
concerned. To do so, you may contact us at any time at the address provided in
section „Information Required by Law.“ The right to demand restriction of processing
applies in the following cases:
- In the event that you should dispute the correctness of your data archived by
us, we will usually need some time to verify this claim. During the time that
this investigation is ongoing, you have the right to demand that we restrict the
processing of your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data was/is conducted in an unlawful manner,
you have the option to demand the restriction of the processing of your data in
lieu of demanding the eradication of this data.
- If we do not need your personal data any longer and you need it to exercise,
defend or claim legal entitlements, you have the right to demand the restriction
of the processing of your personal data instead of its eradication.
- If you have raised an objection pursuant to Art. 21 Sect. 1 GDPR, your rights
and our rights will have to be weighed against each other. As long as it has not
been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand a
restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – with
the exception of their archiving – may be processed only subject to your consent or
to claim, exercise or defend legal entitlements or to protect the rights of other
natural persons or legal entities or for important public interest reasons cited by
the European Union or a member state of the EU.

Cookies
In some instances, our website and its pages use so-called cookies.
Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. The
purpose of cookies is to make our website more user friendly, effective and more
secure. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer and stored by
your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called „session cookies.“
They are automatically deleted after your leave our site. Other cookies will remain
archived on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise

storing cookies to ensure the technically error free and optimised provision of the
operator’s services. If a corresponding agreement has been requested (e.g. an
agreement to the storage of cookies), the processing takes place exclusively on the
basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the agreement can be revoked at any time.
If other cookies (e.g. cookies for the analysis of your browsing patterns) should be
stored, they are addressed separately in this Data Protection Declaration.

This data is not merged with other data sources.
This data is recorded

legitimate interest in the technically error free depiction and the optimization of
the operator’s website. In order to achieve this, server log files must be
recorded.
Request by e-mail, telephone or fax
If you contact us by e-mail, telephone
or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name, request) will be
stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not
pass these data on without your consent.
The processing of these data is
based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, if your request is related to the execution of
a contract or if it is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other
cases, the processing is based on your consent (Article 6 (1) a GDPR) and/or on our
legitimate interests (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR), since we have a legitimate interest
in the effective processing of requests addressed to us.
The data sent by you
to us via contact requests remain with us until you request us to delete, revoke
your consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses (e.g. after
completion of your request). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular
statutory retention periods - remain unaffected.
