Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

(6) Google Inc. is based in the USA and therefore outside the European Union. There is no adequacy decision of the EU Commission and no other legal basis at intergovernmental level. However, we have concluded an order processing contract with Google Inc. This contract is based on the standard contractual clauses adopted by the EU Commission. Accordingly, Google Inc. is obliged to provide a comparable, adequate level of data protection within the EU for the processing of personal data. 

5. E-mail contact

(1) On our website, it is possible to contact us via the e-mail address provided. In this case, your personal data transmitted by e-mail will be stored. In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation.

The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. If the e-mail contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, the legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO. In the case of contact by e-mail, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data. 

(3) The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected.

According to these, Google Inc. is obliged to provide a comparable, appropriate level of data protection within the EU for the processing of personal data. 

(3) The legal basis for the processing of data after registration for the newsletter by the user is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO if the user has given his consent. The legal basis for sending the newsletter as a result of the sale of goods or services is Section 7 (3) UWG or Art. 6 (1) lit f) DSGVO.
