When you contact us by email, we store your email address and the information contained in the email. In the case of the contact form, in addition to the information in the contact form, your IP address will also be recorded pseudonymously. If you contact us by letter, your sender address and the content of the letter will be stored. When contacting us by phone, we collect personal data depending on the individual case.

We store your data until you ask us to delete it or until the purpose of processing (the processing of your request) has been fulfilled.


Subscription to our newsletter

You have the option of subscribing to our email newsletter, which we use to inform you about offers from our company.

The legal basis for sending the newsletter is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future, for example by using the "unsubscribe" link in every newsletter email, or by contacting the data controller for data processing.
