Storage period: The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of providing the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended. In the case of storage in log files, the data will be deleted or anonymized after a maximum of 30 days.
You have the right to request information about your personal data stored by us at any time and free of charge (Art. 15 GDPR). In addition, if the legal requirements are met, you have the right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), erasure (Art. 17 GDPR), or restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR) of this data, as well as the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR).
If you contact us by e-mail, your inquiry including all resulting personal data (e.g., name, e-mail address, message text) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not pass this data on to third parties without your consent.
Legal basis: The processing of this data is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, provided that your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures (e.g., a quote). In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR), if this has been requested.
Storage period: The data you send to us by e-mail will remain with us until the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after processing of your request has been completed) or you request us to delete it. Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods (e.g., 6 or 10 years for business e-mails under commercial or tax law) – remain unaffected.
