Data Protection Policy

We are aware of the importance of the personal data entrusted to it. It is one of our fundamental tasks to ensure the confidentiality of the data entrusted to these websites by customers and visitors. Below we explain some of the precautions we take to protect your data privacy.

Why do we collect personal data?

We collect, process, and use personal data on these websites for the purpose of being able to offer you even better products and services, to align our business processes even more closely with our customers, and to provide efficient access to product information and online applications.

How do we collect data and how long is it stored?

In accordance with the requirements of German data protection law, our website visitors are separately informed about any collection of personal data on the relevant websites. We do not collect, use, or process any personal data without your express consent, which can also be given electronically (e.g., when requesting brochures). Consent once given can be revoked at any time with effect for the future. Personal data that you have communicated to us via the website will only be stored until the purpose for which it was entrusted to us has been fulfilled. If you no longer consent to the storage of your personal data or if it has become incorrect, we will, upon appropriate instruction, delete or block your data or make the necessary corrections (as far as this is possible under applicable law). Upon request, you will receive information about all personal data that we have stored about you free of charge.

How is data stored, protected, and evaluated?

Your personal data secrecy and data confidentiality are maintained. The data is not passed on to third parties. The personal data is only used for the purpose arising from the relevant page of our website on which the data was collected from you. Pages on which we collect personal data are usually encoded with the encryption module built into your browser. In addition, we have taken additional, extensive security precautions in line with the latest technology for Internet access to accounts and securities accounts. A firewall system prevents access from outside. Multiple levels of encryption and identification protect customer data from unauthorized queries or third-party access during data transmission.

Privacy Policy for Social Plugins

Our website uses plugins from social networks (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) to share content. Every time you visit a website on our website that has such a plug-in, the plug-in causes the browser you are using to load and display the visual representation of the plug-in from the social network server. The social network server is informed which specific website on our website you are currently visiting and other data such as your IP address is transmitted.

In order to ensure an appropriate data protection standard on our website, we have therefore initially deactivated the plugins using the corresponding buttons and provided a short data protection notice in front of them.

We have no influence on the amount of data that the social network collects using this plugin. Please refer to the privacy policy of the respective social network:
