Data collection on our website

How do we collect your data?

On the one hand, your data is collected when you provide it to us. This may, for example, be data that you enter in a contact form and/or survey form.

Other data is collected automatically by our IT systems when you visit the website. This is primarily technical data (e.g. internet browser, operating system or time of page view). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter our website.

What do we use your data for?

Some of the data is collected to ensure that the website is provided without errors. Other data may be used to analyse your user behaviour.

The data from the survey form is used to optimise and further develop our products; participation in the survey and the associated data entry are voluntary and not mandatory.

How long is the data from survey forms stored?

The data is stored until the survey has been analysed, but for a maximum of 24 months. The results are analysed anonymously and do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about the participants in the respective survey.

What rights do you have regarding your data?

You have the right to obtain information free of charge at any time about whether personal data concerning you is processed by us and, if so, about the origin of your data, if it was not collected from you, the categories of data processed, recipients or categories of recipients of your data, if these have been or will be disclosed, the planned duration of data storage or, if this is not possible, the criteria for determining the duration, the purpose of data processing, the existence of automated decision-making including profiling concerning your data.

You also have the right to request the rectification or erasure of this data or the restriction of processing. You also have the right to object to the processing. You can contact our data protection officer at any time using the contact details provided if you have any further questions on the subject of data protection.
