The following data is collected as part of the registration process:
Salutation, first name, surname, address, telephone number, e-mail address, login data.

At the time of registration, you also save the public IP address and the date and time of your registration.

The legal basis for the processing of the data is the user's consent to the processing of the data relating to him/her if he/she has given his/her consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. You will then receive a confirmation e-mail which will be used to check the authenticity of your e-mail.

The purpose of the registration is the provision of fixed contents and services offered on our website. As a user you have the possibility to cancel the registration at any time. You can have the data stored about you changed at any time.

6.2  Contact formular and e-mail contact

On our website there are contact forms which can be used for electronic contact. If a user makes use of this possibility, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored. These data are:
Salutation, first name, surname, company, address, country, telephone number and e-mail address.

At the time of sending the message, after consent, your data will be stored and transmitted to us. These are among other things:
- The data entered by you.

If the purpose of the e-mail contact is to conclude a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO.

The processing of personal data from the input mask serves us solely to process the establishment of contact.
