For data stored in log files this happens at the latest after 14 days. Storage beyond this period is ruled out. Likewise any relating of data to the visitor of the website is ruled out due to the fact that the users’ IP addresses are anonymized.

Provision of data required by law or where necessary:

Provision of the above mentioned personal data is neither required by law nor by contract. But without knowledge of the IP address, operation and functionality of our website cannot be guaranteed. In addition, certain services may not be available at all or only to a limited extent. For this reason, objection to the use of this data shall be ruled out.

In the event that a contract results from the enquiry, storage periods shall be governed by the stipulations in the German Commercial Code and, after expiry of the applicable storage periods, the corresponding data shall be erased.

Provision of data required by law or where necessary:

The provision of personal data is voluntary. However, processing of an enquiry shall only be possible provided that the user of the contact form has entered his or her name, email address and the subject of the enquiry.
