3. Access to Your Device (Section 25 TDDDG)
When you use our website, information may be stored on your device (e.g., cookies) or retrieved from it. If this is absolutely necessary to provide a service you have expressly requested, it is done on the basis of § 25(2)(2) TDDDG. In all other cases, it is done only with your consent pursuant to § 25(1) TDDDG in conjunction with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. The subsequent processing of personal data is governed by the GDPR and the BDSG.
4. Hosting
This website is hosted by HosterME.de – HostHousing GmbH, Heinrich-Baumgarte-Str. 3a | 30823 Garbsen, Germany. All data generated when the website is accessed is processed on its servers, including, in particular, IP addresses, access and metadata, and form content. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in ensuring the secure and functional operation of the website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). We have a data processing agreement with the hosting provider in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.
5. Server Log Files
When you visit the website, your browser automatically transmits the following data, which we store in log files: date and time of the request, file accessed, referrer URL, access status, browser and operating system, IP address, and amount of data transferred. This processing is necessary for delivering the website, ensuring system security, and defending against attacks. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. After 30 days at the latest, the IP address is truncated and thus anonymized.
6. Cookies
This website uses only technically necessary cookies. They are stored on your device on the basis of Section 25(2) No. 2 TDDDG; any further processing is based on our legitimate interest in a functioning website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

| wp-wpml_current_language | Stores the selected language, for logged-in users only | 1 day |
We do not use cookies or similar technologies that require consent. For the 360° tour, we obtain your consent directly on the respective page (see Section 18).
7. Login Area
Registered business partners can log in to a secure area (Simple WP Membership plugin). In doing so, we process the username, email address, name, encrypted password, and the times of logins. This processing is necessary to provide access (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and to secure the area (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The data is deleted as soon as the user account is closed, provided there are no retention requirements.
8. Email
If you contact us via the contact form or by email, we will process your information to handle your inquiry and for any follow-up questions. Your email address is required; your name, company, and phone number are optional. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR if your inquiry relates to a contract; otherwise, it is our legitimate interest in responding (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). The data will be deleted once the inquiry has been resolved, provided there are no legal retention requirements.
9. Job Applications
When you apply for a position with us—including for any of the job openings posted on our careers page—we process your contact information, application materials, and other details, including, where applicable, special categories of personal data such as a severe disability. The legal basis is the initiation of an employment relationship (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, Art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with § 26 BDSG); for special categories, the legal basis is Art. 9(2)(b) GDPR. Access is restricted to the departments involved in the process. If your application is rejected, we will delete the documents no later than six months after the conclusion of the process. With your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), we will store them for up to two years for future job openings. You may revoke this consent at any time via email. If you are hired, the documents will be transferred to your personnel file.
10. Videos
Product videos on this website are hosted on our own server. No data is transferred to third parties in this process.
11. Social Media Presence and Links
We maintain company pages on LinkedIn (LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland) and YouTube (Google Ireland Limited). These services are integrated into our website solely as links. Data is not transmitted until you click on the link. When you visit these platforms, the respective provider is responsible for data processing; for Page Insights, responsibility is shared with us (Art. 26 GDPR). If you contact us there, we will process your information as described in Section 8. Both providers may transfer data to the U.S. and are certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework; standard contractual clauses also apply.

12. Recipients
We will only disclose your data if this is specified in this statement, if you have given your consent, if it is necessary for the performance of a contract, if there is a legal obligation to do so, or if it is necessary to enforce legal claims. In addition, we use carefully selected service providers for hosting, email distribution, and IT maintenance, who, as data processors, are bound by our instructions (Art. 28 GDPR).
13. Retention Period
Unless otherwise specified above, we store your data until the purpose no longer applies or you withdraw your consent. Statutory retention periods, such as those under commercial and tax law (up to ten years), remain unaffected. In such cases, processing will be restricted.

You have the right to access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), and data portability (Art. 20).
