Information we collect
Our legal basis for collecting and processing your personal information is based on consent.
We collect your personal information in the following ways:
Automatic information
You can visit our websites without giving any personal information. Every time you access our website, usage data is transmitted through your Internet browser and stored in log data (server log files). These stored data include, for example, the name of the page accessed, the date and time of the retrieval, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider. These data are used solely to ensure trouble-free operation of our website and to improve our offer. An assignment of this data to a specific person is not possible.
Collection and processing using the contact form
When using the contact form, we collect your personal data (name, e-mail address, phone, website address, message text) only in the scope provided by you. The data processing serves the purpose of establishing contact. By submitting your message, you consent to the processing of the transmitted data. Processing is based on Art. 6 (1) of the GDPR with your consent.
You may revoke your consent at any time by notifying us without affecting the legality of the processing on the basis of the consent to revocation. We only use your e-mail address to process your request. Your data will then be deleted unless you have consented to the further processing and use.
Use of the e-mail address for sending newsletters
Regardless of the contract, we use your e-mail address solely for our own advertising purposes to send you newsletters, if you have expressly consented to this. Processing is based on Art. 6 (1) of the GDPR with your consent. You may revoke your consent at any time without affecting the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent until your revocation.
If you signed up for our newsletter, we will send you our regular periodic newsletter along with occasional special announcements — for example, if we have a webinar registration deadline or information on a special offer from a relevant vendor. However, we will never give a third party your email address for the purposes of a ‘blast’.
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the corresponding link in the newsletter or by notifying us. Your e-mail address will then be removed from the mailing list.
Your data will be passed on to a service provider for e-mail marketing as part of order processing. A transfer to other third parties does not take place.
