For this reason, e-mails can only be used for informal communication. Legally binding statements cannot currently be issued using this medium. If we receive an e-mail from you, we will assume that we are authorised to reply by e-mail. If not, we would ask you to suggest a different medium for communication.

Personal Data

Personal data is information about yourself, such as your name, address, postal address or user behaviour, if the latter is not anonymized. This does not include information which cannot be related to you.

Your data is collected in part when you provide it to us. This may include, for example, information you enter into a contact form.

Other data are collected automatically by our IT systems whenever you visit the website. Most of these are technical data such as your IP address (which is however anonymized immediately), internet browser, operating system or the time when the page is accessed. These data are collected automatically when you enter our website. This helps us to provide our data on the internet, which is one of the public tasks we have to carry out. The relevant legal basis is point (e) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, in conjunction with Section 3 of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and Section 3 of the E-Government Act (EGovG).

The data contained in your enquiry will be anonymised and used for user analysis in order to optimise the range of information we offer.

In addition, we store your data for the purpose of managing customer relationships (for instance, to help us respond effectively to further enquiries) or for conducting customer surveys. The legal basis for processing your data for these purposes is the consent you have given in accordance with point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR.
