We would like to inform you about the collection and use of your personal data in accordance with our legal obligations.
When you use our website, personal information about you is collected.
This can be done by entering the data yourself - such as your email address. Our system also collects data from you automatically, such as your visit to our website. This happens regardless of which device or software you use our website. Any entry of data by you on our website is voluntary; there will be no disadvantages for you if you do not disclose your data.
However, without certain data it is not possible for us to provide services or conclude contracts. We will inform you of such mandatory information. On this website, the user's personal data is only collected within the framework of applicable data protection law, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
The technical terms used in the text are explained in more detail in Article 4 of the GDPR. According to the GDPR, data processing is permitted in three cases in particular:
in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a and 7 GDPR, if you have consented to us processing your data; In each case, we will inform you in advance in this data protection declaration and when you give your consent in accordance with Article 4 No. 11 GDPR exactly why and under what circumstances your data will be processed by us;
in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, if the processing of your personal data is necessary for the initiation, conclusion or execution of a contractual relationship;

This may include: customer data (e.g. name, address), contact data (e.g. email address, telephone number), service data (e.g. service ordered, duration, fee). When establishing the usage relationship, we will request this data from you (e.g. name, address and email address) and also inform you to what extent the information is bindingly required to establish the usage relationship.
