We process the above data for the following purposes:

- To ensure the user-friendliness of our website
- To evaluate system security and stability as well as for other administrative purposes
The legal basis for this data processing is point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR. Our legitimate interest stems from the purposes of data processing set out above. We will never use data collected in this way to determine your personal identity. We may use cookies and analytics services when you visit our website; for more details, please see Section 4 of this privacy policy.
You can contact us using the telephone number, fax number and email address on our website as well as by filling in and sending us the contact form. We collect personal data whenever you actively contact us by using the contact form or by email, i.e. if you enter your name, address, contact details, etc. when visiting our website, you explicitly do so voluntarily. These data will not be coupled with the above-mentioned access data. If you contact us by telephone, we may collect personal data for other purposes which we are only informed of during the phone call. If we collect personal data from you using these means of communication and you have not yet been informed of their processing, we will notify you separately. Your information will be processed in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract, for the performance of a contract, or if necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by us or a third party. The legal basis for this processing is points (b) and (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR. Our legitimate interest in processing data lies in dealing with your request if it is not based on steps prior to entering into a contract or the performance of the contract. This processing is not prejudiced by your legitimate interests or your fundamental rights and freedoms as the data was disclosed voluntarily and your rights as a data subject are ensured.
Furthermore, we will process your personal data if this is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject, such as requirements of supervisory authorities, or commercial and fiscal retention obligations. In this case, the legal basis is the legal regulation concerned in connection with point (c) of Article 6(1) GDPR.
If we wish to process your personal data for a purpose not specified above, we will notify you of this in advance in compliance with the statutory regulations.

- If this is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation pursuant to point (c) of Article 6(1) GDPR

Cookies won’t harm your device and don’t contain viruses, Trojans or other malware. Cookies store information about the device you use to access our website, but don’t enable us to identify your personally. One of their functions is to improve your browsing experience on our website. For example, we use session cookies to determine whether you’ve already visited certain pages of our website, and which are automatically deleted when you leave our website. We also use temporary cookies for more user-friendliness, and which are stored on your device for a specified period of time. If you return to our website, they will be used to recall information and settings from your last visit. In addition, we employ cookies to gather statistical information about your use of our website as this helps us to improve it (see Section 5). These cookies indicate whether you’ve visited our website before, and are automatically deleted after a defined period of time. The data processed by cookies are required for the purposes specified above to protect our legitimate interests and those of third parties pursuant to point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR. Most browsers accept cookies by default. However, you can configure your browser so that cookies aren’t saved on your device or a popup warning appears before a new cookie is created.

5. Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics saves cookies on your computer which enable your use of the website to be analysed. The data recorded (including your device’s IP address) are generally transmitted to a server belonging to Google in the USA and stored there. Google Analytics is configured such that IP addresses are always anonymized before being saved. This means that Google truncates IP addresses recorded in member states of the European Union or other signatory states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Google uses the information gathered in this way to evaluate the use of websites and to compile related reports. Google Analytics is configured such that the data are deleted within 14 months after being created. The data are processed on the basis of point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR, the legitimate interest being the improvement of this website.
Although you can configure your browser to block Google Analytics cookies, please be aware that you may then not be able to use all the features of this website. A browser plug-in can also be used to prevent Google from recording data. In addition, you can prevent Google Analytics from recording data by clicking on the following link to install a corresponding opt-out cookie: Disable Google Analytics.
