All personal data will be treated confidentially. Our data protection practice complies with the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), the Basic Data Protection Ordinance (DSGVO) and the Telemedia Act (TMG). Below we inform you about the details of data protection in our company.

1. The reasons for data collection

We collect and process your information to provide our website and to provide you with the best possible service through convenient access to our services.

2. Which data are collected, processed or used?

When you access our web pages, our servers automatically collect information of a general nature, in particular for the purpose of functionality and system security. This includes the type of browser used, the operating system used, the domain name of the Internet service provider, the connection data of the computer used (IP address), the website from which you are visiting us (referrer URL), the pages you visit on our site and the date and duration of your visit. It is not possible for us to draw conclusions about certain persons from this data due to pseudonymisation. These data are not combined with other data sources. Additional personal data, such as your name, address, telephone number or e-mail address are not recorded unless you provide this information voluntarily, e.g. as part of a contact enquiry or application. If you contact us via one of the e-mail addresses provided, your personal data transmitted with the e-mail will be stored.

3. Transmission of personal data

We will not pass your data on to third parties, unless you have given your express consent to a passing on or the passing on is legally prescribed and/or legally permissible. Excluded from this are the service partners of us who are required for the processing of the contractual relationship and who were commissioned by us within the framework of an order processing contract with the processing of personal data in accordance with our instructions. We will neither sell your data to third parties nor otherwise pass it on to third parties for advertising purposes. Our employees are bound to secrecy and to comply with data protection regulations.

4. Deletion

Personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. In order to be able to compare applications in a possible AGG procedure, we do not automatically delete the data from the projects until 6 months after project completion, unless you have given us your consent. In addition, data may be stored if this has been provided for by law. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standard expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract or you have given your consent in this regard.
