2. General information on data processing
We process personal data only insofar as this is necessary for operating this website, handling inquiries, and securely providing our content. Automated decision-making or profiling does not take place.
3. Website access and server log files
When you visit our website for information purposes, our web server processes technically necessary access data. This includes in particular the IP address, date and time of access, requested URL, HTTP status code, transferred data volume, referrer URL, browser type, browser version, and operating system.
Processing is carried out to provide the website securely, analyze errors, and prevent misuse on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the secure and stable operation of our online offering. Server log data is stored only as long as necessary for security and operational purposes, usually for a maximum of 7 days, unless longer storage is required to investigate specific security incidents.
4. Analytics only after consent
This website loads Google Analytics only if you explicitly consent via the consent notice. Without consent, analytics scripts are blocked and no analytics tracking takes place.
If you consent, we use Google Analytics 4, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. This may involve processing page views, technical browser and device information, referrer URL, approximate location information, and usage interactions. Google may also transfer data to affiliated companies, including in the United States.
The legal basis is your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. We store your choice locally in your browser so it can be respected on later page views. You can withdraw your consent with effect for the future at any time by deleting the website data in your browser or by contacting us.
We do not use Google Analytics for remarketing or personalized advertising.
5. Contact form and contact by email
If you contact us via the contact form or by email, we process the information you provide exclusively to handle your inquiry. This includes in particular your name, email address, company information, and message content. Mandatory fields are limited to the data we need to answer your inquiry.
Processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your inquiry relates to the initiation or performance of a contract, and otherwise on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the efficient handling of incoming inquiries. If commercial or tax-law retention obligations apply, further storage is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.
We delete inquiries and the associated data as soon as processing is complete and no statutory retention obligations or other legitimate reasons for further storage apply.
6. Spam protection
To protect against abusive automated form submissions, we use technical protection mechanisms within the form. These are used exclusively to prevent spam and secure our system. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
7. Google Maps only after active consent
Google Maps is not loaded automatically in the contact areas of this website. A connection to Google is established only when you actively load the map by clicking the button. If you use this function, personal data, in particular your IP address and technical connection data, may be transmitted to Google. The legal basis is your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
Alternatively, you can open the location via a normal external link in Google Maps without loading the map widget inside our website.
8. External links and social media profiles
Links to external websites or social media profiles lead to data transmission to the respective provider only after your active click. Before clicking, no personal data is automatically transferred to third parties via these links.
9. Recipients of data
For the technical operation of this website and the handling of contact inquiries, we may use instruction-bound service providers, for example for hosting, server operation, and email communication. Where such providers process personal data on our behalf, this is done on the basis of a data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR.
10. Your rights
Subject to the statutory requirements, you have the right of access under Art. 15 GDPR, rectification under Art. 16 GDPR, erasure under Art. 17 GDPR, restriction of processing under Art. 18 GDPR, data portability under Art. 20 GDPR, and objection to processing under Art. 21 GDPR.
Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time with effect for the future.
11. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority about the processing of your personal data. The competent authority is in particular the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of North Rhine-Westphalia.
