1. ACCESS DATA AND HOSTING

You can visit our website without providing any personal information. Each time you visit our website, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of the request, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the request.

This access data is evaluated solely for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and improving our services. This serves to protect our legitimate interests in a correct presentation of our offer, which outweigh our interests in the context of a balancing of interests.

2. DATA PROCESSING FOR CONTRACT PROCESSING, CONTACTING AND WHEN OPENING A CUSTOMER ACCOUNT

We collect personal data if you voluntarily provide it to us in the context of your order or when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail). Mandatory fields are marked as such, because in these cases we need the data to process the contract, or to process your contact and you can not send the order or contact without their information. Which data is collected, can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide to process the contract and handle your requests.

If you have given your consent to this by deciding to open a customer account, we will use your data for the purpose of opening a customer account.
