You will receive information at any time about the personal data we have stored about you and the origin, recipient and purpose of data collection and data processing. The information is basically free of charge. If there are several enquiries per calendar year, we would like to point out that the costs incurred for repeated enquiries may have to be compensated.
Contact form / Email contact
If you send us enquiries via the contact form on our homepage, the data you provide (e-mail address, first name, surname, company) will be stored so that we can answer your questions.
We delete the data arising in this context after storage is no longer required or restrict processing if there are legal obligations to retain data. This data will not be made accessible to any third parties. If we wish to use contracted service providers for individual functions of our offer or use your data for advertising purposes, we will inform you in detail about the respective processes below. In this context, we also mention the defined criteria of storage duration. Please note that we receive your data from the contact form by e-mail. The transmission is SSL-encrypted.
The legal basis for this data processing is – depending on the subject of your enquiry – the permissibility of processing within the framework of the preparation of a contract, a contract or our legitimate interest in providing a contact form for general enquiries (Art. 6 paragraph 1 b) or f) GDPR).
We would like to point out that e-mails are not sufficiently secure. Therefore, anything that you would not send as a postcard should not be sent by e-mail. Thus, please do not send us any confidential information / data by e-mail or via the contact form on the homepage, but rather choose the postal service or telephone. Please understand that we decline any liability for unsolicited data / e-mails.
Collection of access data / server log files
The delivery and presentation of the contents of our Services requires the collection of certain data for technical reasons. With your access to our Services these so-called server log files are recorded by us or the provider of the web space.
The corresponding information consists of the name of the service, the file, the current date, the amount of data, the web browser and its version, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet provider and the referrer URL as the page from which you have switched to our site, as well as the respective IP address. We use this data for the presentation and delivery of our content and for statistical purposes.
These log files usually do not allow any conclusions about you as a person. Should your personal data nevertheless be processed, the legal basis for the processing is our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR to be able to constantly improve our offer with the help of the data.
We reserve the right to subsequently check the data mentioned should there be any suspicion of illegal use of our Services offers.
SSL encryption
For your security, our homepage uses SSL encryption when transmitting confidential or personal content.
This encryption is activated, for example, in the case of enquiries that you make to us via our homepage. Please make sure that the SSL encryption is activated for corresponding activities from your side. The use of encryption is easy to recognize: The display in your browser line changes from “http://” to “https://”
Data encrypted via SSL – as far as currently known – cannot be decrypted by third parties. Transmit your confidential information only with SSL encryption enabled. An absolute security cannot be guaranteed, so in case of doubt it is better to contact us by phone or mail.
Opposition or revocation against the processing of your data
If you have given your consent, Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR is the legal basis for the processing of your data. You can revoke this consent at any time. Such revocation affects the permissibility of processing your personal data after you have expressed it to us.
Insofar as we base the processing of your personal data on the weighing of interests, Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR is the legal basis for the processing. In this case, you can appeal against the processing. In the event of such an objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as implemented by us. In the event of your justified objection, we will examine the facts of the case and will either stop or adapt the data processing or show you our compelling reasons worthy of protection on the basis of which we will continue the processing.
Your objection or revocation can be made to the responsible body mentioned above.
Third-party content and services
The offer on our homepage may under certain circumstances also include contents, services and performances of other providers that supplement our offer (so-called third-party providers).
On the one hand this is done with so-called “plug-ins”. These are software extensions or additional modules which extend the functions of our homepage. Examples of such offers are maps from Google Maps, YouTube videos or graphic representations of third parties. Calling up these services from third parties regularly requires the transmission of your IP address. In this manner, these providers receive your user IP address and may also store it if necessary.
We make every effort to include only those third-party providers who use IP addresses solely for the delivery of content. However, we have no influence on which third party provider actually saves the IP address. This storage can serve statistical purposes, for example. Should we become aware of storage processes by third parties, we will inform our users of this fact in this privacy policy. In this context, please note the following data protection statements on individual third-party providers and service providers whose services we use on our homepage.
We do not guarantee the content or the success of the following stated services. The respective owners are responsible for the contents of the linked pages.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics on our homepage. Google Analytics is a web analysis service of Google LLC. Google uses cookies. The information generated by cookies about the use of the homepage is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google uses this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online offer and to provide us with further services associated with the use of this online offer and the use of the Internet. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR.

Google Web Fonts
This site uses so-called web fonts, which are provided by Google, for the uniform display of fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly. For this purpose, the browser you use must connect to Google’s servers. By doing so, Google obtains information that our website was accessed via your IP address. If your browser does not support web fonts, a default font is used by your computer.

Transmission to third parties
Transmission of your personal data to third parties may take place in the cases mentioned in the previous paragraph (including Google Analytics). In addition to the legal obligation for us to comply with all data protection regulations, our service providers are bound by further contractual specifications on data protection. This also includes an obligation as a processor in accordance with Art. 28 para. 3 GDPR. Otherwise, we only transfer personal data to third parties if we have legal permission to do so or you have given your prior consent. You can revoke any consent you may have given at any time with effect for the future. We will only pass on your data to government agencies within the framework of legal obligations or based on an official order or court decision and only to the extent permitted by data protection law.
Transmission to countries outside the EU
A transmission to countries outside the EU and the EEA (third countries) is generally not necessary for the purposes mentioned for the use of our homepage and therefore does not take place. Otherwise, we only transfer data to third countries if it is ensured that the recipient of the data guarantees an adequate level of data protection in accordance with Chapter V of the GDPR and that there are no other interests worthy of protection against the data transfer. To ensure an adequate level of protection for the recipient of the data, we use in particular the model contracts of the EU Commission for the transfer of personal data to third countries. The analysis and advertising service provider Google is certified according to the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield, which ensures an adequate level of data protection.
Data security
The persons responsible for this service have taken the necessary technical and organizational measures to protect the personal data provided by you from loss, destruction, manipulation and unauthorized access.
Deletion
As a matter of principle, we delete your personal data as soon as they are no longer required for the purposes pursued with the collection and processing and as long as there are no legal storage obligations to the contrary. Legal retention periods result in particular from the German tax and commercial law as well as the pharmaceutical law. If pseudonymous user profiles are stored, they will be deleted 24 months after the last new entry.
