When you visit our website, our web servers save the IP address assigned to you by your Internet service provider, the website from which you visit us, the websites you visit on our site, the type and version of the browser used as well as the date and duration of your visit. With the exception of your IP address, personal data will be stored only for the expressly stated purposes if you make it available to us on your own initiative, e. g. as part of a registration, a reservation, an order, a survey, a competition or for the execution of a contract. Unless stated otherwise, personal data will only be stored by us for as long as this is necessary to fulfil the pursued purposes.

As far as we obtain your consent for processing operations of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis. When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures. If processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Personal data will not be passed on by us without your consent. If and to the extent that we involve third parties in the performance of contracts, this personal data is only received to the extent to which the transfer is necessary for the corresponding service. In the event that certain parts of data processing will be outsourced (“order processing”), we oblige contractors to use personal data only in accordance with the requirements of data protection laws and ensure the protection of your rights. Personal data will only be transferred to state institutions and authorities within the framework of mandatory national legislation.
