2. Hosting and server logs
The website is hosted by IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Deutschland. When you visit, the server processes technically necessary data (IP address, date and time, requested address, browser identifier, amount of data) to deliver the pages and fend off attacks. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (secure operation). The hosting provider stores the IP address in the logs only in shortened (anonymised) form and deletes the logs after eight weeks. The connection to the website is encrypted via TLS (HTTPS).
We have concluded a data processing agreement with the hosting provider pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR. According to the hosting provider, no data is transferred to countries outside the EU. Our mailbox is hosted by the same provider; enquiries sent via the website and emails to us are stored there.
3. Enquiry, contact, sell and configurator forms
When you submit a form, your details (name, email or phone, company, country, message, details of the machine or your requirement and – only if you ticked it – a 3D image of your described requirement; also the page you send from, the website you came from if your browser provides it, and optionally how you found us) are sent to us by email so that we can answer. Your enquiry is not stored permanently on the web server; it is only processed briefly for transmission (for technical reasons also in temporary server files). To prevent mass submissions, a pseudonymised check value of your IP address that changes daily is used together with the time for 10 minutes. The related temporary file on the server is deleted with a later form submission once it has expired; until then it remains unused. If no form is submitted for a while, this may take correspondingly longer. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual steps) and (f) (abuse prevention).
We keep your message in our mailbox as long as needed to deal with it If the enquiry leads to a transaction, we keep the correspondence as business letters for six years (Section 257 German Commercial Code, Section 147 German Fiscal Code) and documents serving as accounting vouchers for eight years, starting at the end of the calendar year. Enquiries that do not lead to a transaction are deleted once they are no longer needed.
4. Email, phone and WhatsApp
If you email or call us, we process your details to handle your request (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). The WhatsApp buttons are plain links; nothing is loaded from WhatsApp beforehand. Only when you tap one does WhatsApp open (provider: WhatsApp Ireland Limited, Meta) with our phone number and – on machine pages – a prepared text with the machine name and number. This information is passed to WhatsApp; you then send the message yourself. WhatsApp’s privacy policy applies there; data may also be transferred to the USA (basis: EU-US Data Privacy Framework, where the provider is certified). If you do not want this, please use phone, email or the form.
5. YouTube videos
Videos are first shown only as a preview image from our own server. Only when you click a video is it loaded from YouTube in privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com, provider: Google Ireland Limited); your IP address and technical data are then transmitted to Google, and Google may store or read cookies or similar identifiers on your device for playback and abuse detection. Data may also be transferred to the USA (basis: EU-US Data Privacy Framework, under which Google is certified). Your click on the video is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, Section 25(1) TDDDG); it applies only to that playback. If you do not click, nothing is loaded from YouTube. You can delete stored cookies in your browser.
6. No cookies, no analytics
Our website itself sets no cookies, stores nothing in your browser and uses no analytics, advertising or tracking services; fonts and images are loaded from our own server. Only if you start a YouTube video may Google set cookies as described in section 5.
7. Your rights
You have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing and data portability (Art. 15–20 GDPR). Right to object: you may object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (Art. 21 GDPR). You may withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future. You can lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, e.g. the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of North Rhine-Westphalia.
You are not obliged to provide data; without contact details, however, we cannot answer an enquiry. There is no automated decision-making or profiling.
