4. Purposes and Legal Basis for Data Processing

We process personal data in accordance with the provisions of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the German Federal Data Protection Act and Swiss data protection law (FADP and the FADP Ordinance). We process personal data in order to ensure that our website is made available without errors. Other data may be processed for statistical analysis of your user behavior. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest (Article 6(1)f of the GDPR) in being able to offer you a flawlessly functioning website and to optimize our website technically taking into account user behavior.

Additional processing activities based on our legitimate interest may include:

  • advertising or market and opinion research, unless you object to the use of your data;
  • assertion of legal claims and defense in legal disputes;
  • ensuring IT security;
  • preventing and investigating criminal acts;
  • management actions and measures to optimize products and services.

In cases where the processing of your data is required by law, processing takes place based on Article 6(1)c of the GDPR. This may be done e.g. in order to satisfy documentation requirements vis-à-vis tax or other authorities. We also process your personal data in cases where you consent to such processing (Article 6(1)a of the GDPR). You may revoke such consent at any time; to do so, you need only send us an informal e-mail message. However, the lawfulness of the data processing which takes place prior to the revocation of consent will remain unaffected by such revocation.

Contact forms

Processing of the data you enter in the general contact form takes place based on a weighing of interests in accordance with Article 6(1)f of the GDPR. Our legitimate interests consist of communication with you and responding to your inquiries. Processing of the personal data you enter in the order form takes place based on Article 6(1)b of the GDPR, so that we can process your request in the course of preparing the way for a contractual agreement. The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it or object to its use or until the purpose for storing the data ceases to apply (e.g. once we have finished processing your request). Provisions of mandatory law, particularly retention periods, will remain unaffected.
