3. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website uses cookies or similar technologies where these are necessary for operating the website or where the relevant consent has been given.
Cookies are small files or pieces of information that may be stored on your device. They can be used, for example, to provide essential website functions, save settings, or statistically analyze website usage.
Technically necessary technologies are used in particular to provide and secure our website and to store your privacy preferences. Where storing information on your device or accessing such information is strictly necessary to provide a digital service expressly requested by you, this may be permitted without separate consent under Section 25(2) of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG). Where personal data is processed in this context, the applicable provisions of the GDPR apply, in particular Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
We use Google Analytics 4 for statistical analysis of our website. Where this involves cookies or similar technologies that are not technically necessary, your consent is required under Section 25(1) TDDDG. The associated processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.
You may withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future. You can also manage and delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may restrict the functionality of individual website features.
4. Google Analytics 4
Our website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Analytics helps us statistically analyze how our website is used and continuously improve our online services. The following information, in particular, may be processed:
• Pages and content viewed
• Time and duration of website visits
• Scrolling activity
• Clicks on external links
• Interactions with website content
• Technical information about browsers and devices
• Approximate geographical location
• Sources of website traffic
• Online identifiers, particularly cookie IDs
Our Google Analytics 4 property uses measurement ID G-XKFHQCJRB0.
The consent-based processing of personal data through Google Analytics is based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Section 25(1) TDDDG additionally applies to the storage of, and access to, information on your device that is not technically necessary. Consent may be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.
According to Google, Google Analytics 4 does not permanently log or store IP addresses. However, IP addresses may be processed temporarily for technical delivery of the service.
The use of Google Analytics may involve transfers of personal data to Google companies or their service providers outside the European Economic Area, particularly in the United States. Where the legal requirements are met, transfers to appropriately certified US companies may rely on the European Commission's adequacy decision concerning the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. Otherwise, the statutory requirements for international data transfers must be observed.
The retention period for user and event data in our Google Analytics property is set to two months in each case. Automatic extension of the retention period following renewed user activity is disabled. These settings primarily concern user-level and event-level data. Aggregated standard reports may be subject to different retention rules.

This may include your name and company, business contact details, job title or position, the content of your message, technical and project-related information, and any other information you voluntarily provide.
Where processing is necessary to perform a contract or take pre-contractual steps at the request of the data subject, it is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. For general business inquiries and communication with company representatives, processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is responding to inquiries and conducting business communications.
The data is deleted once it is no longer required for the relevant purposes, unless statutory retention obligations or other lawful grounds justify further storage.
6. Business Communications and Project Execution

In the course of our business activities, we process personal data relating to contact persons at customers, prospective customers, suppliers, technology partners, and other business partners. This may include names, business contact details, company affiliations, positions, and contract- or project-related information.
Processing is carried out in particular to handle technical and commercial inquiries, prepare and follow up on quotations, prepare and perform contracts, coordinate technical matters, manage projects and services, issue invoices, comply with legal obligations, and maintain existing business relationships.
Depending on the circumstances, the legal bases are Article 6(1)(b), (c), or (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies, in particular, in the proper conduct of our business activities and the maintenance of business relationships.
7. Disclosure of Personal Data
In the course of our business activities, it may be necessary to disclose personal data to external recipients. These may include hosting and IT service providers, tax advisers and other professional advisers, technical cooperation partners, suppliers and manufacturers, project-related service providers, and public authorities where disclosure is legally required.
Data is disclosed only where necessary for the relevant purpose and permitted under data protection law. Where external service providers process personal data on our behalf, we comply with the requirements of Article 28 GDPR.
8. International Data Transfers
Due to the international nature of our business, it may be necessary to transfer personal data to business partners or service providers outside the European Union or the European Economic Area.
Such transfers take place in compliance with the legal requirements of the GDPR. These include, in particular, adequacy decisions under Article 45 GDPR, appropriate safeguards under Article 46 GDPR, or an applicable derogation under Article 49 GDPR in individual cases.
9. Retention Period for Personal Data
As a general rule, we retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the respective purposes of processing.
Where statutory retention obligations apply, the relevant data is stored for the legally prescribed period. Once the purpose of processing no longer applies or the statutory retention period expires, the data is deleted unless another legal basis permits further storage.
10. Data Security
Our website uses HTTPS with TLS encryption to protect data transmitted between your browser and our website.
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, and unlawful disclosure. However, complete protection against all risks associated with data transmission over the internet cannot be guaranteed.
11. Images, Technical Illustrations, and AI-Generated Content
Our website uses photographs, product images, technical drawings, plant visualizations, and graphics to present our products, services, and technologies.
Our visual materials come in particular from the following sources:

The images are provided on our website to inform visitors about our company and services. Where images are delivered exclusively through our own website or hosting provider, this does not generally result in an additional transfer of data to the image suppliers listed above.
If images or other media are embedded directly from external servers, technical data, particularly the visitor's IP address, may be transmitted to the respective provider when the content is retrieved. Such embedding must be assessed separately under data protection law and, where necessary, described in this Privacy Policy.
Copyright and usage rights in the images and graphics remain with the respective rights holders, to the extent that such rights exist. Additional information can be found in the “Image Credits and Copyright” section of our Legal Notice (Imprint).
