Our data protection practice is in harmony with the regulations of the federal data protection act (BDSG) as well as with additional data protection regulations in the Internet.

Personal data is ”individual information about the personal and factual circumstances of a specific or specifiable natural person (person concerned)” (§ 3 Section 1 BDSG). This refers to information about a person in a specific context, personal or professional, that is not generally accessible, as in the telephone book for example. Persons include employees, shareholders, customers, suppliers, representatives, insurance holders, tenants and so on. If you visit our website our web server, by default, saves the name of your Internet service provider, the website from where you are visiting us, the websites that you visit with us, as well as the date and length of the visit. Furthermore, personal data is only saved if you give it to us voluntarily, for example as part of mailshots or when ordering a catalogue. It is therefore your decision as to whether you give this data. Your information will be saved on specially protected servers in Germany. Access is only possible to a few authorised persons who deal with the technical or commercial support of these servers and who are under obligation to us in accordance with §5 BDSG with regard to data privacy.
