Additional personal data such as name, address, telephone number or e-mail address are not collected unless provided voluntarily, e.g. when filling out an online contact form, as part of a registration, survey, competition, contract fulfillment or request information.

    The legal basis for the processing of these categories of data is Article 6(1)(f) of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In view of the above objectives, in particular in view of the need to guarantee the security and smooth establishment of the connection, we have a legitimate interest in the processing of this data.

Web beacons are anonymous and do not contain or collect information that identifies you. The information is anonymous and is used for statistical purposes only. Web analytics data and cookies cannot be used to identify an individual because they do not contain personal information such as name or email address.
