Data make it possible for us to provide our excellent service. Our most important capital, though, is the confidence of our customers. We attach highest priority to protecting customer data and using such information only as our customers expect. It is therefore self-evident that we adhere to the statutory data protection requirements. Moreover, we want you to know which data we are storing and when, as well as how we will use them.

Data collection
A protocol is made when you visit our website. The main items recorded are the IP address currently used by your PC, the date and time, the type of browser and your PC’s operating system, along with the pages you have looked at. As a rule it is not possible for us to link the data to a specific person, nor do we seek to do so.
These data are collected for the sole purpose of ensuring data integrity and optimizing our web offerings. No analysis of the data is carried out except for statistical purposes, in anonymous form. Furthermore, no personal surf profile or anything of that nature is created or processed.
Moreover, personal data are saved only when you provide them to us voluntarily, for example by registering or entering into a contract. The respective registration and contact forms provide information on the purpose of the data that are collected. Such data are transmitted over the internet in encoded form.

Using data and making them available to others
The personal data that you provide to us through our website or email (such as your name and mailing or email address) are used only for our correspondence with you, and only for the purpose for which they have been disclosed.
We also use these data for occasional notices of new products or services as well as other offers that you might find of interest. Of course, you may at any time notify us that you do not wish to have your data used for such purposes.
We assure you that we will not pass on your data to third parties unless we are required to do so by law or you have first provided your consent.
If we engage service providers to carry out processing tasks, our contractual relationships with them are handled in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act.

Consent and cancellation
If you have provided us with personal information, you may delete such data at any time. Data for invoicing and bookkeeping purposes are not subject to termination/cancellation or deletion.

Storage period
Personal data provided to us through our website are stored only until the purpose for which they were collected has been fulfilled. In the case of storage periods required under commercial or tax law, certain data may be stored for up to 10 years.

Your rights
If you no longer wish to have your personal data stored, or if the information is no longer accurate, we will ensure that your data are deleted or corrected, upon receiving your instructions to this effect (assuming that this is permitted by law). At your request you may procure information free of charge regarding all personal data that we have stored in connection with you.

Links to other internet pages
We occasionally provide links to the websites of third parties. Although we exercise great care in selecting such third parties, we cannot offer a guarantee or assume liability for the accuracy or completeness of their websites, nor does this privacy policy apply to such websites linked to ours.

Use of cookies
Cookies are used when our offerings are accessed. A randomly generated session code is stored in the cookie, then deleted after the browser window has been closed or upon conclusion of the session.

Security of personal data
In order to prevent unauthorized access to or disclosure of your data and to ensure the accuracy and legitimate use of such information, we have established an appropriate physical and administrative procedure to protect and secure the gathered data.

Amendments to this policy
This privacy policy needs to be updated as we introduce new products or services or change internet procedures, as well as when advances are made in internet and EDP security technology. Accordingly, we reserve the right to amend or supplement this policy as needed. We will publish such amendments on this page. Thus it is important that you visit this website regularly to check on the current status of our privacy policy.
