Contact form
Nature and purpose of the processing:
The data you enter will be stored for the purpose of individual communication with you.
This requires you to provide a valid e-mail address and your name.
This is used to assign the request and subsequently answer it.
The provision of further data is optional.
Legal basis:
The data entered in the contact form is processed on the basis of a legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).
By providing the contact form, we would like to make it easy for you to contact us.
The information you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing your request and for possible follow-up questions.
If you contact us to request a quote, the data entered in the contact form will be processed to carry out pre-contractual measures (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR).
Recipient:
Recipients of the data may be processors.
Storage duration:
Data will be deleted no later than 6 months after the request has been processed.
If there is a contractual relationship, we are subject to the statutory retention periods according to the German Commercial Code (HGB) and delete your data after these periods have expired.
Provision prescribed or required:
The provision of your personal data is voluntary.
However, we can only process your request if you provide us with your name, e-mail address and the reason for the request.
Use of script libraries (Google Webfonts)
Nature and purpose of the processing:
In order to display our content correctly and graphically appealing across browsers, we use “Google Web Fonts” from Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter “Google”) to display fonts on this website.
The privacy policy of the library operator Google can be found here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/
Legal basis:
The legal basis for the integration of Google Webfonts and the associated data transfer to Google is your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).
Recipient:
Calling up script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the operator of the library.
It is theoretically possible – although it is currently unclear whether and for what purposes – that the operator collects Google data in this case.
Storage duration:
We do not collect any personal data through the integration of Google Web Fonts.
Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
Third country transfer:
Google processes your data in the USA and has submitted to the EU_US Privacy Shield https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.
Provision prescribed or required:
The provision of personal data is neither legally nor contractually required.
However, it is possible that
the correct display of content may not be possible due to standard fonts.
Withdrawal of consent:
The JavaScript programming language is regularly used to display the content.
You can therefore object to data processing by deactivating the execution of JavaScript in your browser or installing a JavaScript blocker.
Please note that this may result in functional restrictions on the website.
SSL encryption
To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS.
Changes to our privacy policy
We reserve the right to adapt this privacy policy so that it always complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy, e.g. when introducing new services.
The new privacy policy will then apply to your next visit.
