2.3 Data to fulfil our contractual obligations
We only store and process personal data if you voluntarily provide us with this information, e.g. when filling out the contact form, or if you contact us via one of the e-mail addresses we have provided. Personal data that you provide to us in connection with such an enquiry will be retained by us in order to respond to your enquiry. We erase data collected in this context after retention is no longer necessary, or restrict processing if statutory retention obligations apply. This data is not shared with any third parties.
The legal basis for processing this data is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR as such data is required to fulfil contractual obligations we have towards you.

We use Google Maps on our website. This allows us to display interactive maps directly on our website and enables you to conveniently use the map function.
The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

When you visit our website, Google is notified that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. The data referred to in Section 2(1) “Access data” will be transmitted as well. This is done regardless of whether you are logged into a Google account or not. If you are also logged in to Google, your information will be directly associated with your account. If you do not wish this information to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out of Google before clicking a button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses it for purposes of advertising, market research and/or tailoring its website to your needs. Such evaluation also takes place in particular (even for users who are not logged in) for the purpose of providing customised advertising and to inform other social network users about activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles; you must contact Google to exercise this right.
For more information about the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by the plug-in provider, please refer to the provider’s privacy policy. You will find further information on your corresponding rights and options for protecting your privacy at:

2.6 Newsletter/ Product recommendations
If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on our website, we require an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter.
We use the “double opt-in” procedure to ensure that the newsletter is sent with your consent. As part of this process, the potential recipient agrees to be included in a distribution list. The user then receives a confirmation e-mail to confirm the registration in a legally-certain manner. The address is only added to the distribution list once confirmation has been received. We only use this data to send the requested information and offerings.
We use CleverReach as newsletter software. Your data will be transmitted to CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG. CleverReach is prohibited from selling or using your data for any purpose other than sending newsletters. CleverReach is a German, certified provider, which was selected based on the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). You may withdraw your consent to the storage of data, your e-mail address and to its use in order to send the newsletter at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter.
Data protection measures are always subject to technical innovations; for this reason, we ask you to familiarise yourself about our data protection measures at regular intervals by reviewing our Privacy Policy.
The legal basis for this is consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR in conjunction with Section 7 (3) Act Against Unfair Competition (UWG).

2.7 E-mail contact
If you contact us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail), we will process your data to respond to your enquiry and should any follow-up questions arise.
If we process data in connection with pre-contractual activities undertaken at your request, or, if you are already our customer, we process data in connection with the performance of a contract, the legal basis for such data processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
We only process further personal data if you give your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if we have a legitimate interest in processing your data (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). A legitimate interest is, for example, replying to your e-mail.

2.8 Retention period
Unless specifically stated, we will only retain personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected.
In some cases, legislation provides for the retention of personal data, for example under tax or commercial laws. In these cases, we only retain data for the relevant legal purposes; however, we will not process such data for other purposes and will erase such data after expiry of the statutory retention period.
