Data Protection Declaration

This data protection declaration has been translated from German to English. Should inconsistencies occur, the German version will take precedence.

We point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of data against access by third parties is thus not possible. The use of the contact data published within the scope of the imprint obligation by third parties for sending unsolicited advertising and information material is hereby expressly prohibited. We expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising information being sent, for example, through spam mails.

  • Handling, processing and saving personal data 

Personal data are processed

  • if necessary for the purpose of contract initiation or implementation
  • if the data serve the general maintenance of the business relationship (e.g. distribution of information material/documents) or

As far as the distribution of your data to further affiliates is necessary, your data can be passed on. No transfer of data will be executed beyond this point. Distribution of personal data to state agencies or authorities only take place within the framework of mandatory legal provisions.

Data transmission to receivers in states outside the European Union (third countries) are admissible under application of suitable guarantees concerning appropriate data protection level taking place within the use of data for IT support purposes within the corporate group.
