Permanent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

If cookies are disabled, the functionality of this website may be limited.
If additional cookies and services are used on this website, you can find information about them in this Privacy Policy.
Inquiries by Email, Telephone, or Fax
If you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry, including all personal data resulting from it (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We will not disclose this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR), if such consent has been requested; consent may be revoked at any time.
The data you send to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
