Data transmission to the USA is secured by standard contractual clauses issued by the EU Commission.
Cloudflare (CDN & file delivery)
We use Cloudflare's content delivery network (CDN) and cloud storage (R2) to make our website more secure and faster, and to provide downloads (such as PDF datasheets). The provider is Cloudflare Inc., 101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA.

3. Data collection on the website Contact forms & file uploads
If you send us inquiries via the contact form or upload files (e.g. technical documents, images) via our forms, your details from the request form, including the contact details and file attachments you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the request and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.
Uploaded files are securely stored on the servers of our host Webflow and are strictly protected from public access.

Cookies and local fonts
Our website sometimes uses so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain any viruses. They serve to make our offering more user-friendly, effective and secure. If your consent is required for non-essential cookies (e.g. for analysis purposes), we obtain this consent via our cookie banner when you first visit the website. We host our fonts locally on our own server; no connections to third-party servers (such as Google Fonts) are established and no data is transferred.
4. Analysis tools Google Analytics
If you have given your consent (via our cookie banner), this website uses features of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Analytics allows us to analyze the behavior of website visitors (e.g. page views, length of stay, origin). We have activated IP anonymization on this website. As a result, your IP address is abbreviated by Google before it is transmitted to the USA.
Google Search Console
We use Google Search Console to continuously optimize search engines and monitor the technical health of our website. This is a tool from Google that provides us with Google search statistics. The Search Console does not collect and process any personal user data or tracking data from website visitors, but only search engine data and click statistics.
5. Plug-ins and external services YouTube (lightbox videos)
We include videos from the YouTube platform on our website. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited. We use YouTube in extended data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode means that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. Only when you start the video (in the lightbox) is a connection to YouTube's servers established and your IP address transmitted. This is based on your consent or our legitimate interest in an appealing presentation of our products.
6. Your rights
You have the right to receive free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to correct, block or delete this data at any time. If you have given your consent to data processing, you can withdraw this consent at any time for the future. You also have the right to complain to the competent supervisory authority (e.g. the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner, FDPIC). You can contact us at any time at [email protected] if you have any questions about this and other questions about data protection.
