II. General information on data processing
1. Scope of processing of personal data
We generally only process our users' personal data to the extent that this is necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The processing of our users' personal data is generally only carried out with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for actual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.
2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
If we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing personal data, Art. 6 Para. 1 a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
For the processing of personal data that is necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 Para. 1 b of the GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.
If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject, Art. 6 (1) c GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) d GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest on our part or that of a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 (1) f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
3. Data deletion and storage period
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage may also occur if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need to further store the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 Para. 1 f GDPR.

IV. E-mail contact, contact form
1. Description and scope of data processing
There is a contact form on the website that can be used to contact us electronically. We also link to our e-mail address for contacting us. When you contact us, we save the name, company, telephone number, e-mail address and message text. If you contact us by e-mail, the user's personal data transmitted with the e-mail will be saved.
The data will not be passed on to third parties in this context. The data will only be used to process the conversation.

3. Purpose of data processing
We process the personal data from the contact form or email solely to process the contact. This is also where the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data lies.
If the contact is for the preparation, establishment or implementation of a contractual relationship with us, this is the additional purpose of processing. If there is subsequently a legal obligation to store your message, the storage also serves to fulfill the retention obligation.
4. Duration of storage
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For personal data sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.
If the contact is made for the purpose of preparing, establishing or implementing a contractual relationship with us, we will store the data as long as claims and other rights arising from the contractual relationship can exist (e.g. warranty / compensation claims). The duration usually corresponds to the respective statutory limitation period.
If there is a statutory retention period (Section 147 AO), we will store the data until the statutory retention period has expired.
5. Possibility of objection and removal
The user has the option of objecting to the storage of his or her personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.
The objection can be made by sending an email or using the contact form again. In this case, we will delete all personal data stored in the course of contacting you, including the objection, unless we are legally obliged to store the conversation.
If we need the stored personal data to establish or carry out a contractual relationship with you, there is no right of objection to the storage.
