Privacy Policy

(1) The following information explains how we collect personal data when you use our website. Personal data refers to any information that can be linked to you personally, such as your name, address, email address, and user behavior.

We use the Independent Analytics tool on this website. This is a privacy-friendly software solution for statistically analyzing visitor traffic.

What makes this solution unique is: Local storage: The data collected by the tool is stored exclusively on our own web server (hosted by All-Inkl in Germany). No data is transferred to third parties or to servers outside the EU.

No cookies: Independent Analytics does not use cookies to identify visitors. No tracking identifiers are stored on your device. Anonymization: Users’ IP addresses are anonymized during processing, so that direct assignment to individual visitors is not possible.

The analysis serves to better understand the use of our website and to continuously improve our offering. Since no cookies are set and the data remains local, our legitimate interest in measuring reach outweighs the interests of the affected users.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (Legitimate interest in the optimization and economic operation of the website).

(1) When you contact us via email or through a contact form, we will store the information you provide (your email address, your name and phone number if applicable, and the content of your message) in order to respond to your inquiries.

(2) The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, provided that your inquiry relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries directed to us (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR), provided that such consent was requested.

(3) The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions—in particular retention periods—remain unaffected.

This website uses technically necessary cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. Technically necessary cookies are used to make the website functional by enabling basic features such as page navigation or access to secure areas. Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly.

Since we do not use any analytics or marketing tools, no consent (opt-in) is required for these technically necessary cookies.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR or § 25(2) TDDDG.

You have the following rights with respect to the personal data we hold about you:

Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR): You may request information about the data we process about you.

Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR): You may request the correction of inaccurate data.

Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR): You may request the erasure of your data stored by us, provided that no legal retention obligations prevent this.

Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR). Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR). Right to object to processing (Art. 21 GDPR): If we process data based on a legitimate interest, you have the right to object for reasons arising from your particular situation.

If you have given consent to the processing of your data, you may revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. Since we do not use any analytics or marketing tools, no consent (opt-in) is required for these technically necessary cookies.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR or § 25(2) TDDDG.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority regarding our processing of your personal data (Art. 77 GDPR). As a general rule, you may contact the supervisory authority in your country of habitual residence or where our company is headquartered.
