The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your inquiry according to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted after the final processing of your inquiry, provided that no legal retention periods apply.
5) Tools and Miscellaneous
Cookie Consent Tool
This website uses a “cookie consent tool” to obtain valid user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The “cookie consent tool” displays an interactive user interface to the user when visiting the page, where consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be given by ticking checkboxes. The tool ensures that only cookies that require consent are loaded when the user provides consent by ticking the checkboxes.

If you exercise your right to object, we will stop processing the affected data. However, further processing may remain if we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or if the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for such marketing at any time.
