(Status: 6 August 2026)
We welcome you to our website and appreciate your interest. We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We process your data in accordance with the applicable legal provisions for the protection of personal data, in particular the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) and the country-specific implementation laws applicable to us. With the help of this data protection declaration, we inform you comprehensively about the processing of your personal data and the rights to which you are entitled.
Personal data is information that makes it possible to identify a natural person. This includes, in particular, name, date of birth, address, telephone number, e-mail address, but also your IP address.
Data is anonymous if no personal reference to the user can be established.
- Your rights as a data subject
-
First of all, we would like to inform you about your rights as a data subject. These rights are standardized in Articles 15 to 22 EU GDPR. They include:
- The right to information (Art. 15 EU GDPR),
- The right to erasure (Art. 17 EU GDPR),
- The right to rectification (Art. 16 EU GDPR),
- The right to data portability (Art. 20 EU GDPR),
- The right to restriction of data processing (Art. 18 EU GDPR),

To assert these rights, please contact: @email. The same applies if you have any questions about data processing in our company. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.
- Rights of objection
-
Please note the following in connection with rights of objection:
In the event that we process your data to protect legitimate interests, you can object to this processing at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. We will then no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. The objection is free of charge and can be made informally, if possible to: @email
- Purposes and legal bases of data processing
-
When processing your personal data, the provisions of the EU GDPR and all other applicable data protection regulations are complied with. The legal basis for data processing arises in particular from Art. 6 EU GDPR.
We use your data exclusively to optimize our website, e.g. to improve the accessibility of the most frequently visited pages or to improve the display on mobile devices. For details, please refer to the "Cookies" section.
No processing of special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 (1) EU GDPR takes place.
- Disclosure to third parties
-
We will only pass on your data to third parties within the framework of the statutory provisions or with the appropriate consent. Otherwise, your data will not be passed on to third parties unless we are obliged to do so due to mandatory legal provisions (passing on to external bodies such as supervisory authorities or law enforcement agencies).
- Recipients of the data / categories of recipients
-
We ensure that only those persons receive your data who need it to fulfil the contractual and legal obligations.
In many cases, service providers support our specialist departments in performing their tasks. The necessary data protection contracts have been concluded with all service providers.
- Third country transfer
-
When using our website, certain personal data may be transferred to third countries, i.e. countries in which the EU GDPR is not applicable law. However, we only permit processing if the special requirements of Art. 44 et seq. EU GDPR and thus the guarantee of an adequate level of data protection in the country are met. This means that the third country must either have an adequacy decision from the European Commission or suitable guarantees in accordance with Art. 46 EU GDPR. Unless otherwise stated below, we use the following applicable guarantees as suitable guarantees standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to processors in third countries.
- Storage duration of the data
-
We store your data for as long as it is required for the respective processing purpose. Please note that numerous retention periods require that data (must) continue to be stored. This applies in particular to retention obligations under commercial or tax law (e.g. from the German Commercial Code or the German Fiscal Code). If there are no further retention obligations, the data will be routinely deleted once the purpose has been achieved.
In addition, we may retain data if you have given us your permission to do so or if legal disputes arise and we use evidence within the framework of statutory limitation periods, which can be up to thirty years; the regular limitation period is three years.
- Secure transfer of your data
-
We use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect the data stored by us against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons. The security levels are continuously reviewed in cooperation with security experts and adapted to new security standards.
The exchange of data to and from our website is encrypted. We offer HTTPS as the transmission protocol for our website, using the latest encryption protocols.
It is also possible to use alternative communication channels (e.g. by post).
- Obligation to provide the data
-
Various personal data are necessary for the establishment, execution and termination of the contractual relationship and the fulfillment of the associated contractual and legal obligations. The same applies to the use of our website and the various functions it provides.
In certain cases, data must also be collected or made available due to legal provisions. Please note that it is not possible to process your request or execute the underlying contractual relationship without providing this data.
- Categories, sources and origin of the data
-
Which data we process is determined by the respective context: this depends on whether, for example, you enter an inquiry in our contact form, whether you send us an application or submit a complaint.
Please note that we may also provide information for special processing situations separately in a suitable place, e.g. when uploading application documents or in the event of a contact request.
