Handling of Personal Data

Personal data includes information that can identify you, such as your name, email address, or phone number. Additionally, data about your preferences and hobbies (which you share with us via email or contact forms) is considered personal data.

We collect and use personal data only when legally permitted and/or when you have given your consent.

We process and store all personal data you provide through email inquiries or contact forms (e.g., name, address, email address, and phone number) to facilitate the requested communication and maintain customer relationships. These data will be stored internally unless you request their deletion.

Further personal data is only collected if you voluntarily provide it as part of an inquiry, registration, or contract agreement – or if it is transmitted through your browser settings. If we need to share data with external service providers (e.g., sending invoices with your name and address to our accounting department), we implement technical and organizational measures to ensure compliance with legal data protection requirements.
