Privacy policy

 

We are pleased that you are interested in our company and our products. We want to ensure that you feel safe with respect to the protection of your personal data when visiting our website.

Below please find some information on our use of this data and on our data privacy principles.

(1) Collection, processing and use of your data

You can, as a rule, visit our website without providing personal data. We only save access data with no personal connection, such as the requesting host address (IP of the computer), the web page you are using to visit us, the name of the requested file and a description of the type of Internet browser used and, if possible, the search machine used as well as date and time of access. We will analyze this technical data anonymously and for statistical purposes only in order to optimize our website and to be able to make our web presence even more attractive. This anonymous data is saved to secure systems separately from any personal information, so that no conclusions about any individual person can be made.

Personal data will be gathered only if you provide it voluntarily within the course of on-line enquiries for applications, for contact with respect to job offers and/or requests for product information. We will use the data obtained without your explicit approval only for the purposes for which you have provided the data. After your enquiry has been completely dealt with your data will be blocked for further use and will be deleted after tax and commercial law regulations have been satisfied, provided you have not explicitly approved the further use of your data.

Approval for use of your data can be withdrawn at any time simply by notifying us. To do this please get in touch with the contact persons mentioned in point (6).
