This website is hosted and operated using the SITE123 website builder. The provider is 123 Absolute Ltd. As part of the data processing agreement, SITE123 provides the technical infrastructure (servers, storage, database, security and statistics functions) through which this website is delivered. This inevitably also involves the processing of personal data (in particular technical access data, see item 4) on SITE123’s servers. A data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR is in place with SITE123. Further information can be found in SITE123’s privacy policy at: https://www.site123.com/privacy-policy.
When you access our website, the process running automatically on the server collects information that your browser automatically transmits to us or to our hosting provider. In particular, the following is collected:
This data is not merged with other data sources. Processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the technically error-free presentation and security of our website.
Our website uses cookies. These are small text files stored on your device. Technically necessary cookies required for the operation of the website are used on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the technically error-free provision of our website). For all other cookies, in particular for analytics and statistical purposes (see item 6), we obtain your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR via the cookie consent tool embedded on this website before they are set. You may withdraw or adjust your consent at any time, with effect for the future, via this website’s cookie settings or your browser settings.
Provided you have given your consent, this website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"), integrated via Google Tag Manager. Google Analytics uses cookies or comparable technologies that allow an analysis of your use of our website. The information generated in this way (including a shortened IP address, pages visited, time spent) is generally transmitted to and processed on a Google server, in some cases also in the USA.
This use takes place solely on the basis of your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, which you grant via the cookie consent tool and may withdraw at any time. Further information on how Google Analytics handles user data can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en. You can also object to the collection of your data by Google Analytics by downloading and installing the browser add-on for disabling Google Analytics at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
To display our company location, we use the Google Maps mapping service. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address; this is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA. We, as the operator of this website, have no influence on this data transfer.
The use of Google Maps serves our interest in presenting our contact options appealingly and making our location easy to find. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Where consent has been obtained, processing takes place solely on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent may be withdrawn at any time. Further information on the handling of user data can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.
This website uses so-called Google Fonts for a consistent display of typefaces. These are hosted locally on our server or the server of our hosting provider. No connection to Google servers is made, and consequently no data is transmitted to Google.
If you contact us by email, telephone, or via a contact or inquiry form on this website (e.g. via the "Request material" function), the data you submit (including name, contact details, content of the inquiry) will be stored by us and used exclusively to process your inquiry and for any follow-up questions. We will not disclose this data to third parties without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, provided your inquiry serves to initiate or perform a contract; otherwise, it is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in responding to inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Your data will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent, or the purpose of storing the data no longer applies. Statutory retention obligations (in particular under commercial and tax law) remain unaffected.
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that your browser’s address bar changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in the browser bar. When encryption is active, data you submit to us cannot easily be read by third parties.
We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy so that it always complies with current legal requirements, or to reflect changes to our services. The new privacy policy will then apply on your next visit.
If you have any questions about the collection, processing, or use of your personal data, about access, rectification, restriction, or deletion of data, or about withdrawing consent given, please contact us directly using the contact details given in item 1.
