SSL or TLS Encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryp­ti­on for secu­ri­ty reasons and to pro­tect the trans­mis­si­on of con­fi­den­ti­al con­tent, such as orders or inqui­ries you send to us as the site ope­ra­tor. You can reco­gni­ze an encrypt­ed con­nec­tion by the brow­ser­’s address bar chan­ging from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your brow­ser bar.

If SSL or TLS encryp­ti­on is acti­va­ted, the data you trans­mit to us can­not be read by third parties.

4. Data Collection on this Website

Server Log Files

The pro­vi­der of the­se pages auto­ma­ti­cal­ly coll­ects and stores infor­ma­ti­on in so-cal­led ser­ver log files, which your brow­ser auto­ma­ti­cal­ly trans­mits to us. The­se include:

  • Brow­ser type and version
  • Ope­ra­ting sys­tem used
  • Refer­rer URL
  • Host­na­me of the acces­sing computer
  • Time of the ser­ver request
  • IP address

This data is not mer­ged with other data sources.

The coll­ec­tion of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The web­site ope­ra­tor has a legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in the tech­ni­cal­ly error-free pre­sen­ta­ti­on and opti­miza­ti­on of its web­site – the ser­ver log files must be recor­ded for this purpose.

Inquiries by Email, Telephone, or Fax

If you cont­act us by email, tele­pho­ne, or fax, your inquiry, inclu­ding all resul­ting per­so­nal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and pro­ces­sed by us for the pur­po­se of hand­ling your request. We do not share this data wit­hout your consent.

The pro­ces­sing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is rela­ted to the per­for­mance of a con­tract or is neces­sa­ry for pre-con­trac­tu­al mea­su­res. In all other cases, the pro­ces­sing is based on our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in effec­tively pro­ces­sing inqui­ries addres­sed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your con­sent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), if this was reques­ted; con­sent can be with­drawn at any time.

The data you send to us via cont­act inqui­ries remains with us until you request its dele­ti­on, with­draw your con­sent for sto­rage, or the pur­po­se for data sto­rage no lon­ger appli­es (e.g., after your request has been pro­ces­sed). Man­da­to­ry sta­tu­to­ry pro­vi­si­ons – in par­ti­cu­lar sta­tu­to­ry reten­ti­on peri­ods – remain unaffected.

5. Plugins and Tools

Ninja Firewall
