However, this condition only holds true if the processing procedures mentioned below do not specify otherwise. “Personal data” refers to any information concerning an identified or identifiable individual.
Server log files
You have the option to use our websites without providing any personal data. However, whenever you access our website, your internet browser automatically transfers user data to us or our web hosts/IT service providers, which is then stored in server log files. This data includes details such as the name of the visited site, date and time of the request, IP address, amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider. We process this information based on Article 6(1) f) of the GDPR, as it aligns with our legitimate interests in maintaining the smooth functioning of our website and enhancing our services.
Contact:
Proactive contact of the customer by e-mail
If you proactively contact us via email, we will collect your personal data (name, email address, and message text) to the extent you provide it. The purpose of processing this data is to handle and respond to your contact request.
If the initial contact aims to carry out pre-contractual measures (e.g., consultation for potential purchase or order creation) or relates to an existing agreement between you and us, the data processing will be based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.
If the initial contact is for other reasons, the data processing will be based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, which is justified by our legitimate interest in handling and responding to your request. However, if this processing of your personal data falls under Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR and you believe it impacts your specific situation adversely, you have the right to object to it at any time.
We will only use your email address to process your request, and after that, we will delete your data in accordance with applicable legal retention periods, unless you have consented to further processing and use.
