Inquiry via Email, Phone, or Fax

When you contact us by email, phone, or fax, your inquiry including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass on these data without your consent.

The processing of these data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), if this has been requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The data sent to us by you via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage ceases to apply (e.g., after completion of your request).

Newsletter Data

If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on our website, we require your email address as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address and agree to receive the newsletter.

In such a case, the newsletter will only contain direct advertising for our own similar goods or services. You can unsubscribe from this newsletter at any time. For this purpose, you will find a corresponding link in every newsletter. The legal basis for sending the newsletter in this case is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR in conjunction with § 7 para. 3 UWG.

After you have been removed from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored in a blacklist by us to prevent future mailings.
