Data Protection Policy

Below, we would like to inform you about the type, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process, as well as about your rights in this regard. Personal data refers to any data that can be related to you personally, such as name, address, email addresses, or user behavior.

Data Controller

The data controller for the processing of personal data in accordance with Art. 4 (7) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is:

Collection of Data Transferred Directly

When you contact us via email, telephone, fax, or through a contact form, for example as part of quick contact, an application, a registration, or a project inquiry, the data you provide to us (your email address, possibly your name, phone number, images, model books, videos, and your message to us) will be stored by us in order to answer your questions or process your request. We delete the data collected in this context once storage is no longer necessary, or we restrict the processing if there are legal retention obligations. The legal basis for the processing of this data is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest) and Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR (consent). If the email contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. This personal data will not be disclosed to third parties without your explicit prior consent.

If you wish to view our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display our website and to ensure stability and security (the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR):

In addition to the aforementioned data, cookies are stored on your computer when you use our website. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your hard drive and assigned to the browser you are using and through which certain information is sent to the party that sets the cookie (in this case, us). Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. They serve to make the website overall more user-friendly and effective. Your browser accesses these files. Certain pages cannot be accessed, or not accessed correctly, without the use of cookies. These reasons constitute the legitimate interest for this data processing. The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR (legitimate interests of the data controller). All common browsers offer the option to disallow cookies. You can also configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, or activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.

Right to Object or Withdraw Consent to the Processing of Your Data

If you have given your consent to the processing of your data, you can withdraw this consent at any time. Such a withdrawal affects the permissibility of processing your personal data after you have communicated it to us.

If we base the processing of your personal data on a balance of interests, you can object to the processing. This is the case if the processing is not necessary in particular for the performance of a contract with you. When exercising such an objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have done. In the event of your justified objection, we will review the situation and either stop or adjust the data processing or demonstrate to you our compelling legitimate grounds on which we continue the processing.

Of course, you can object to the processing of your personal data for purposes of advertising and data analysis at any time. You can inform us of your objection to advertising using the contact details provided in Section 1.
