How do we collect data?

Below are the main methods we use to collect data:

  • We collect data that you make available to us yourself, for example if you contact us via a form (e.g. order form or contact form).

What data do we collect?

Below is an overview of the information we may collect. On the one hand, your data is collected when you communicate it to us yourself, for example using a form provided by us. Other data is automatically recorded by our IT system when you visit the website.

  • Unidentified and unidentifiable information collected through the use of our Services ("Non-Personally Identifiable Information") does not provide any indication of who collected it. Non-personal data that we collect consists mainly of technical and aggregated usage information (e.g. Internet browser, operating system or time of page view). This data is collected automatically as soon as you visit our website.

  • Individually identifiable information, i.e. all that by which you can be identified or could be identified with reasonable effort ("Personal Data"), is information that is requested from time to time, such as first name, last name, company, e-mail address , IP address and more. If we combine personal information with non-personal information, we treat it as personal information for as long as it is combined.

  • to send you updates, news, promotional materials and other information related to our Services. With promotional emails, you can decide for yourself whether you want to continue receiving them. If not, just click the unsubscribe link in those emails.

Who do we share this information with?

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent that you have already given at any time. An informal message by e-mail to the address below is sufficient. The legality of the data processing that took place up until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

  • to collect, hold and/or manage your data using authorized third party service providers (e.g. cloud service providers) as appropriate for business purposes;

  • to work with third parties to improve your user experience. To avoid misunderstandings, we would like to point out that we can transfer or pass on non-personal data to third parties or use them in any other way at our own discretion.

Data transfer to the USA
Our website includes tools from companies based in the USA. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to the US servers of the respective companies.

We would like to point out that the USA is not a safe third country within the meaning of EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to release personal data to security authorities without you as the person concerned being able to take legal action against it.

It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) will process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing operations.
