These data comprise name, company name, telephone number, email and postal addresses, customer number and content of the message, together with the information requested on specific topics.
In addition, the IP address of the terminal accessing our website, the date and time of the despatch of the message are recorded.
As part of the process, your consent will be obtained and referred to this Data Privacy Statement.
Alternatively, you may contact us through the email address provided. In this case, the user's personal data transferred with the email are stored. 
The data are used solely for the processing of the conversation.
If consent has been obtained from the user, the legal basis for the processing of the data is Article 6 (1) point (a) GDPR.

Our website is serviced by service providers, who are engaged as our processors.
If you send us a request for a quotation, for example, processors appointed by us may receive data for this purpose, provided that these processors need the data to perform their respective service (e.g. IT services). All service providers are contractually obliged to treat your data confidentially. Furthermore, in order to respond to or to process your requests, we transfer your data to the REISSWOLF company responsible for the region or to our cooperation partner documentus Deutschland GmbH.

The data are erased as soon as they are no longer needed to fulfil the purpose, for which they were collected. For the personal data from the input screen for the contact form and the data sent by email, this is when the respective conversation with the user has come to an end. The conversation has come to an end, when it can be presumed from the circumstances, that the issue in question is conclusively clarified.

The additional personal data collected during the transfer process are erased at the latest at the end of a period of sixty days.

The user has the right at any time to withdraw his consent to the processing of the personal data. For this purpose, an informal communication by email is sufficient. Alternatively, you could use our revocation form. If you choose this alternative, the conversation cannot be continued.
In this case, all personal data, which have been stored in the course of making contact, are erased.

On our website, we offer you the opportunity to register for a newsletter, free of charge. When you register for the newsletter the data from the input screen, such as the email address, are transferred to the service provider we use for this purpose, so that we can send the newsletter to you.
