We are pleased that we have aroused your interest in our offers. The protection of your privacy and your personal data is very important to us. The collection and use of your data is therefore always in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (DSGVO), the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG). In the following, we therefore inform you about which data is collected by us and how we process this data.
Personal data
Personal data within the meaning of the GDPR is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person. Personal data is only stored insofar as this is necessary to provide the booked service, to comply with legal requirements or for the purpose stated below.
Anonymised data / log files
You can visit our website without the need to collect personal data. Whenever you visit our website, certain anonymised data is nevertheless stored, e.g. which page or which offer was called up. However, this data is not personal and is therefore not subject to the legal regulations of the DSGVO or the BDSG.
The website operator or page provider collects data about accesses to the page and stores these as "server log files". The following data is logged in this way:
Visited website, time at the time of access, amount of data sent in bytes, source/reference from which you reached the page, browser used, operating system used, IP address used.
The data collected is only used for statistical analysis and to improve the website. However, the website operator reserves the right to check the server log files retrospectively if there are concrete indications of illegal use.
Anonymous data is collected solely for statistical evaluation in order to improve our services. Please note the point "Right to information / right of withdrawal".
Purpose of the collection of personal data
However, the collection of personal data becomes indispensable if you wish to book a service via our portal, contact us, subscribe to our newsletter or use other offers on our site, for the processing of which personal data is indispensable.
In accordance with the legal regulations and in the spirit of data economy, we generally only collect data that is required for the provision of this particular service. As far as we ask for further information in our forms, the information is always voluntary and marked as such.
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. Furthermore, the storage in log files takes place in order to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context. These purposes are also our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
The legal basis for sending the newsletter as a result of the sale of goods or services is Section 7 (3) UWG.
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we also store and use the personal data you provide on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO in order to provide you with the best possible service as a newsletter subscriber.
The legal basis for the processing of data after the user has subscribed to the newsletter is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO if the user has given his consent.
We also use the personal data stored by us to maintain customer relations, for customer support, to carry out our own advertising and marketing measures (e.g. the dispatch of catalogues and other advertising mailings within the legally permissible scope, queries regarding customer satisfaction) and for order processing.
Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Art. 6 (1) (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) (b) DSGVO serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) c DSGVO serves as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make processing of personal data necessary, Art. 6 (1) (d) DSGVO serves as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing.
Disclosure of personal data to third parties
Your personal data will only be passed on within the relevant, in particular data protection and competition law requirements.
Insofar as this is necessary for the provision of the contractual service owed by us or legal obligations, your data will also be passed on to subcontractors or service providers for the provision of the service in the name of or on behalf of us (e.g. technical processing of mail and email dispatch, payment processing, customer service).
In addition, the data is passed on to persons or companies for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract. Please note that the data protection regulations at the headquarters of these persons and companies may differ from those in Germany.
Your data will also be disclosed and transferred to third parties if we are obliged to do so by law or on the basis of a legally binding court case.
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transfer this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided.
Storage and deletion of data
Within the scope of the purposes stated under the point "Purpose of collecting personal data", your personal data will be stored. The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Storage may take place in addition if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the person responsible is subject. The legislator has enacted a variety of storage obligations and periods. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.

Security, questions and suggestions, responsible person
Security depends not least on your system. You should always treat your access information confidentially, never allow passwords to be saved by the web internet browser and close the internet browser window when you end your visit to our website. This will make it more difficult for third parties to access your personal data.
Use an operating system that can manage user rights. Set up several users on your system, even in the family, and never use the Internet under administrator rights. Use security software such as virus scanners and firewalls and keep your system up to date.
The responsible person for this online presence within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation and other national data protection laws of the member states as well as other data protection regulations is:
