We are pleased that you are interested in our website. Protecting your privacy is very important to us. Below, we inform you in detail about how we handle your data.

1. Access Data and Hosting

You can visit our website without providing any personal information. Each time a website is accessed, the web server automatically stores a so‑called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, date and time of access, transferred data volume, and the requesting provider (access data), and documents the access.

These access data are evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring a trouble‑free operation of the site and improving our services. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in a correct presentation of our services in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. All access data are processed only as long as necessary for the purposes described above.

Hosting

The services for hosting and displaying the website are partly provided by our service providers as part of processing on our behalf. Unless otherwise stated in this privacy policy, all access data and all data collected in the forms provided on this website are processed on their servers.
If you have questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please contact us using the contact details provided in this privacy policy.

Our service providers are located and/or use servers in the following countries for which the European Commission has determined an adequate level of data protection: Israel, United Kingdom, USA.

The adequacy decision for the USA applies as the basis for third‑country transfers, provided the respective service provider is certified. Certification is in place.

Our service providers are also located and/or use servers in the following countries: Brazil, Mexico, India, Ukraine.
For these countries, no adequacy decision exists. Our cooperation is based on EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

2. Data Processing for Contact and Customer Communication

Contact

When you contact us (e.g., via contact form, live chat tool, or email), we collect personal data that you voluntarily provide for the purpose of processing your inquiry in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Required fields are marked as such because we need the data to process your request. The data collected is evident from the respective input forms.

After your inquiry has been fully processed, your data will be deleted unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or we reserve the right to use your data beyond this, which is legally permitted and explained in this privacy policy.

After your customer inquiry has been fully processed, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after the expiry of statutory retention periods (tax and commercial law) in accordance with Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use your data beyond this as permitted by law.

After unsubscribing, your email address will be removed from the mailing list unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use your data beyond this as permitted by law.

3.2 Newsletter Delivery

The newsletter may also be sent by our service providers as part of processing on our behalf.
Our service providers are located and/or use servers in countries with an EU adequacy decision: Israel, United Kingdom, USA.
