The data will not be used to draw conclusions about you personally.
Contact form/communication by email
You will find a contact form on our website. We would like to give our customers the opportunity to contact us easily. You can also contact us directly by email. If you would like to use our contact form, you must provide your name and a valid email address. If you contact us by email, we will receive your email address. All other data provided is optional. Data is collected for the purpose of initiating or executing contractual relationships in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Even if your inquiry is not intended to initiate or execute a contract, we still have a legitimate interest in processing and responding to your inquiry. Therefore, the use of personal data for this purpose is governed by Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
We use the data you provide exclusively to process your inquiry. If this relates to the initiation or execution of a business transaction, we will delete your data according to our internally defined deletion periods.

Data will only be transferred to third parties if this is necessary for contractual fulfillment, e.g., if a company has been commissioned to provide production or transport services or a credit institution has been commissioned to process payments.
This personal data will be deleted after the expiration of the statutory warranty period or after the end of the statutory retention period.
You can also create a user account with us. To do so, you must provide the data requested during registration.

With every login, registration, order, or other binding action, we save your IP address as well as the date and time. This is done for your protection and, in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, for our legitimate interest in proving the existence of a claim and preventing misuse or unauthorized use of our system.
Furthermore, with your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, a cookie may be set to save your data so that it is automatically entered on your next visit.

On our website, you have the option of subscribing to a free newsletter for direct marketing purposes. When you register for the newsletter, your name and email address from the input form will be transmitted to us. Your IP address and the date and time of registration will also be used. The collection of other personal data during the registration process serves to prevent misuse of the services or the email address used.

The legal basis for the processing of data after the user has registered for the newsletter is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR if the user has given his or her consent.
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. The user’s email address will therefore be stored for as long as the newsletter subscription is active.

In such a case, the newsletter will only be used to send direct advertising for our own similar goods or services. The legal basis for sending the newsletter as a result of the sale of goods or services is Section 7 (3) of the German Unfair Competition Act (UWG).
The affected user can cancel the newsletter subscription at any time. A corresponding link is included in every newsletter for this purpose.

Google Marketing Services are used to tailor our website to meet your needs and continuously optimize it, as well as for analysis purposes and to economically improve our online offering.
If you have given your consent, we can use Google Marketing Services to display targeted advertisements on our website and on third-party websites tailored to the potential interests of users. The ads can be customized to the extent that users receive offers on other websites that they viewed on our website but did not purchase (remarketing). For this purpose, a (re)marketing tag, a corresponding code from Google, is executed on our website and on websites where Google Marketing Services are activated. This code creates a cookie on your device that records which websites you have visited as a user,
which content interests you, and which offers you have completed or even just viewed. Furthermore, technical data such as browser, visit times, and information from other websites visited are also stored in this cookie. Your IP address is also transmitted to Google in anonymized form. Google may also combine this data with data from other sources.
We use the Google Adwords service as part of these Google Marketing Services. By using Google Adwords, we can see what happens after a user clicks on the corresponding ad. This could include, for example, purchasing a product, signing up for a newsletter, calling our company, or accessing/downloading a file. These customer actions, which we have defined, are referred to as conversions. The conversion cookie is specifically tailored to us and cannot be tracked by other Adwords customers. These conversion cookies are important to us because they allow us to compile usage statistics for all customers in order to further optimize our offering. No information is used that could identify an individual user.
As part of Google Marketing Services, we can integrate third-party advertisements on our website using the Google service “AdSense.” AdSense uses cookies that allow Google partner websites and Google itself to display ads based on users’ visits to this website or other websites on the Internet.

As described above, you can prevent cookies from being stored on your computer. You can also prevent Google from using the data collected through cookies by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

To the extent that processing is restricted, we may only process your personal data – apart from storing it – with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or a Member State.
You will be informed again before the restriction is lifted.

7. Data Security
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as requests you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize this by the browser’s address bar changing from “http://” to “https://.” A lock symbol will also appear in the browser bar.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

This Privacy Policy is currently valid and was last updated on March 18, 2025.
To ensure that our Privacy Policy always complies with current legal requirements, we reserve the right to make changes at any time. This also applies if the Privacy Policy needs to be adjusted due to new or revised services, e.g., new services. The new Privacy Policy will then take effect the next time you visit our website.

9. Complaints and Warnings
If you believe that your rights have been violated or that you have been otherwise disadvantaged, please notify us directly. You will then receive a personal, individual response. As part of your obligation to mitigate damages, we would like to point out that we will not cover the costs of a lawyer you hire out of court without prior contact with us. We expressly do not intend for you to instruct a lawyer to issue a cease-and-desist order and/or a cease-and-desist declaration subject to penalty.
Therefore, presumed intent cannot be relied upon.
