We are pleased about your interest in our website. Protecting your privacy is very important to us. Below we inform you in detail about the handling of your data.

 

 

1. Access Data and Hosting

1.1 Access Data

You can visit our websites without disclosing any personal information. Each time a webpage is accessed, the web server automatically stores a so-called server log file, which contains the name of the requested file, your IP address, date and time of the retrieval, the data volume transmitted, and the requesting provider (access data), and documents the retrieval.

These access data are evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring the trouble-free operation of the site as well as improving our services. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our offering pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. All access data will be processed only as long as necessary for the purposes set out above.

1.2 Hosting

Services for hosting and displaying the website are partly provided by our service providers as part of processing on our behalf. Unless otherwise explained in this Privacy Policy, all access data and all data collected in forms provided on this website are processed on their servers. For questions regarding our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please use the contact option described in this Privacy Policy.

Our service providers are located in and use servers in Israel. The European Commission has determined that Israel provides an adequate level of data protection. Additionally, our service providers use servers in the USA, South Korea, Taiwan, and other countries outside the EU

and EEA, for which no adequacy decision by the European Commission exists. Our cooperation with them is based on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.

The data collected is apparent from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide to process your inquiries pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b GDPR.

After your inquiry has been fully processed, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after the statutory retention periods under tax and commercial law expire, pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c GDPR, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR or we reserve the right to use the data in a manner that is legally permitted and about which we inform you in this policy.
