Protecting your personal data is important to us. Personal data means any information by which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy informs you about the nature, scope and purpose of the processing of personal data on our website.

When you access our website, the hosting provider automatically collects information transmitted by your browser. This may include in particular your IP address, date and time of access, page accessed, browser type and operating system.

This data is technically required to provide the website and is stored in server log files. It is not merged with other data sources. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

When you send us inquiries via the contact form, we process the data you enter (e.g. name, email address, phone number, company, subject and message) in order to handle your inquiry.

Transmission is by email to our business address. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry relates to the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures, otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

The data is deleted once the inquiry has been finally processed and no statutory retention obligations apply.

We use an email service provider to send contact inquiries. The transmitted form data may be processed on the provider's servers. A data processing agreement has been concluded with the provider where required.

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. Technically necessary cookies are required for the website to function. We only use statistics and marketing technologies with your consent.

On your first visit, our cookie notice appears. Your selection is stored locally in your browser (Local Storage, key “gtl_consent”): the time of your decision and whether you consented to statistics and marketing technologies. Full consent is valid for six months; partial or declined consent for five days. After that we ask again. You can delete the entry in your browser settings at any time or change your selection via “Cookie settings”.

The legal basis for technically necessary cookies is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR and Section 25(2) TDDDG. For statistics and marketing, the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

We use Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows us to integrate tracking or statistics tools and other technologies on our website. Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, store cookies or perform independent analyses. It is used to manage the tools integrated through it. However, Google Tag Manager collects your IP address, which may also be transmitted to Google’s parent company in the USA.

Use is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Where consent has been requested, processing is based solely on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Where web analytics services are used (e.g. via Google Tag Manager), they serve to statistically evaluate use of our website and to improve our offering. Use is only based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, Section 25(1) TDDDG). You can withdraw your consent at any time via the cookie settings.

External content may be embedded on our website, e.g. maps from Google Maps or embedded videos. When such content is accessed, data may be transmitted to the respective provider. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR or your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG where required.

You have the following rights with regard to personal data concerning you:

• Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR)
• Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
• Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
• Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
• Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
• Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR)
• Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR)

This privacy policy is dated August 2026. Further development of our website or changes to legal or regulatory requirements may necessitate updates.
