2. General Information on Data Processing

We process personal data only to the extent necessary to operate this website, respond to enquiries or comply with legal obligations. Processing is carried out in particular on the basis of Article 6(1)(b), (c) and (f) GDPR and, where required in an individual case, on the basis of consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

3. Accessing the Website and Server Log Data

When you access this website, the web server processes technical data required to provide the website. This may include the IP address of the accessing device, date and time of access, the requested page or file, the amount of data transferred, browser type and version, operating system, referrer URL and the requesting provider.

This processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the secure, stable and technically reliable operation of the website and the prevention of misuse and attacks.

Log data are retained only for as long as necessary for operation, troubleshooting and IT security. Longer retention takes place only where a security incident needs to be investigated or where statutory retention obligations apply.

4. Hosting and Technical Service Providers

Hosting, IT and technical service providers may be used to operate and maintain the website. Where such providers process personal data on our behalf, this is carried out on the basis of a data processing agreement in accordance with Article 28 GDPR.

5. Contact by Form, Email or Telephone

If you contact us using the contact form, by email or by telephone, we process the information you provide in order to handle your enquiry and any follow-up questions.

The contact form may process, in particular, your name, company, email address, telephone number, subject and message. Mandatory fields are identified accordingly in the form.

Processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry relates to the initiation or performance of a contractual relationship. Other business or general enquiries are processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the proper handling and response to incoming enquiries.

The acknowledgement of the privacy policy requested in the contact form serves to confirm that you have been informed of these provisions. It is not a separate consent to processing that is necessary for handling your enquiry.

According to the current technical configuration, contact form data are not permanently stored in the website database but are transmitted by email for the purpose of handling the enquiry. Further retention depends on the content of the communication and any applicable commercial or tax retention obligations.

6. Technically Necessary Cookies

According to the current configuration, this website uses only technically necessary cookies or comparable technical storage mechanisms. They are used in particular to provide session functions and to protect against cross-site request forgery attacks.

These include in particular:

• PHPSESSID – manages the current PHP session; generally valid for the current browser session.
• csrf_contao_csrf_token – security cookie protecting against cross-site request forgery attacks; generally valid for the current browser session.
• csrf_https-contao_csrf_token – security cookie protecting against cross-site request forgery attacks; generally valid for the current browser session.

Under Section 25(2) of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG), consent is not required for storage that is strictly necessary to provide a service expressly requested by the user. Where personal data are processed in this context, processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the secure and functional provision of the website.

No analytics, tracking or marketing cookies are configured at present.

7. External Links

Our website contains links to external websites, for example Google Maps for route planning or other external services. Simply visiting our website does not transmit data through such ordinary links to the respective provider. Only when you follow an external link do you leave our website. The respective provider is responsible for any subsequent processing of personal data.

8. Recipients of Personal Data

Personal data are disclosed only where this is necessary for the purposes described above, required by law or otherwise supported by an appropriate legal basis. Recipients may include hosting, IT, email and other technical service providers as well as, where necessary, public authorities, courts, tax advisers or other professional advisers subject to confidentiality obligations.

9. Retention Period

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the relevant processing purpose. The data are then deleted unless statutory retention periods, legitimate interests in continued retention or other legal grounds require further storage.

10. Your Rights

Subject to the statutory requirements, you have in particular the following rights:

• right of access under Article 15 GDPR,
• right to rectification under Article 16 GDPR,
• right to erasure under Article 17 GDPR,
• right to restriction of processing under Article 18 GDPR,
• right to data portability under Article 20 GDPR,
• right to object under Article 21 GDPR.

Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal remains unaffected.

11. Right to Object to Processing Based on Legitimate Interests

Where processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data. We will then no longer process the relevant data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is required for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

12. Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. For companies based in Lower Saxony, the competent authority is in particular:

Der Landesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz Niedersachsen

13. No Automated Decision-Making

No decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling within the meaning of Article 22 GDPR, takes place in connection with this website according to its current configuration.

14. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy if the website, the services used or applicable legal requirements change. The version published on this website at the relevant time applies.
