What processing activities are performed?

When you access our website

When you access our website, i.e. even if you do not register or otherwise submit information, information of a general nature is automatically collected. This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet service provider, your IP address and the like.

They are processed mainly for the following purposes:

  • Ensuring that the website connection is established without any problems,
  • Ensuring a seamless use of our website,
  • Evaluation of system security and stability, and
  • for other administrative purposes.

Under certain circumstances, the server log files can be subsequently checked if there are concrete indications of illegal use.
The processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of the legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website.
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. This is generally the case for the data used to provide the website when the respective session has ended.

The providing of the above-mentioned personal data is neither legally nor contractually required. However, without the IP address and the cookie identifier, the service and functionality of our website is not guaranteed. In addition, individual services and services may not be available or may be limited.

Online appointment booking

We work with a so-called data processor for the online appointment booking system. This service is called CALENDLY. When using this service, the information you provide “NAME, FIRST NAME, E-MAIL ADDRESS, PHONE NUMBER and, if applicable, your ADDRESS” will be transmitted to servers in the USA for processing your online appointment. By using the online appointment service offered by us, you consent to such data transfer to the USA. The service CALENDLY as the recipient of the data – assures us of compliance with European data protection standards via a so-called additional agreement on order processing (Data Processing Addendum) and the EU standard contractual clauses.

The processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

If you contact us to request a quote in the appointment, the data entered in Calendly is processed to carry out pre-contractual measures (Art. 6 para. 1 lit b GDPR).

Data is usually deleted 6 months after the appointment. If there is a contractual relationship, we are subject to the statutory retention periods and delete your data after six or ten years.

The providing of the above-mentioned personal data is neither legally nor contractually required. However, without this data, the service and functionality of our website cannot be guaranteed. In addition, individual services and services may not be available or may be limited.

By providing the contact form, you have the opportunity to provide information about yourself and your specific request in the context of an inquiry and possibly already ask specific questions.

The data you enter will be stored for the purpose of processing the request and for possible follow-up questions and individual communication with you. The processing of the data entered in the contact form is based on a legitimate interest to enable you to contact us easily (Art. 6 para. 1 lit f GDPR).

If you contact us to request a quote, the data entered in the contact form will be processed to carry out pre-contractual measures (Art. 6 para. 1 lit b GDPR).

Google reCAPTURE

Google reCAPTCHA is a service from Google that allows us to check whether a user is a human or a bot on our website. This is to ensure that no bots interact automatically on our website.

During the verification by reCAPTCHA, we and thus Google Inc. (GOOGLE IRELAND LIMITED, GORDON HOUSE 4 BARROW STREET DUBLIN, D04 E5W5 Ireland) record a number of data of the user. For example, Google reCAPTCHA collects information about the page that embeds reCAPTCHA, the user’s IP address, the language set in the browser, screen and window resolution, time zone and installation of browser plugins.

Besides this, Google reCAPTCHA also checks whether a cookie has already been created in the user’s browser. If this is not the case, Google creates a cookie. In practice, this means that Google creates a fingerprint of the user for reCPATCHA, which is also recognized on other pages. This makes it possible for Google to track users across pages. This is possible even if the IP address changes or users delete the cookies.

In some cases, the above-mentioned data may be transferred to servers in the USA during processing. By using Google reCAPTURE, you consent to such data transfer to the USA. The service Google reCAPTURE as the recipient of the data – assures us of compliance with European data protection standards via a so-called supplementary agreement for order processing (Google Ads data processing conditions) which correspond to the EU standard contractual clauses.

The processing by Google reCAPTURE is based on your consent according to Art 6 para. 1lit. a GDPR. Beyond that, there is a legitimate interest in optimizing our website and making it secure (Art. 6 para. 1 lit f GDPR).
