Privacy policy

Thank you for your interest in our company. We take data protection seriously.

In general, you can use our website without providing any personal data. If a data subject wishes to use our company’s services via our website, the processing of personal data may be necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will always obtain the data subject’s consent.

The processing of personal data (e.g., a data subject’s name, address, email address, or phone number) is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to us.

Through the following Privacy Policy, we would like to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. This Privacy Policy also informs data subjects of their rights.

As the data controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most comprehensive protection possible for the personal data processed through our website. However, data transmissions over the Internet can generally involve security vulnerabilities. Therefore, 100% protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, any data subject may, of course, alternatively provide us with personal data by other means, such as by phone.
