If the form is considered to be a business letter, it will be stored for at least 6 years in accordance with HGB (Commercial Code) and AO (Fiscal Code).

For reasons of technical security, in particular to ward off attempts of attacks on our webserver, we store this data temporarily.

After seven days at the latest, the data is anonymised by shortening the IP address at the domain level, so that it is no longer possible to associate it with the individual user. In anonymised form the data is also processed for statistical purposes; a comparison with other databases or a transmission to third parties, even in excerpts, will not take place.

Social Media Presence
We maintain online presences within social networks and in this context process data of the data subjects in order to communicate with the users active there or to offer information about us.
We would like to point out that user data may also be processed outside the European Union. This may entail risks for users, for example by making it more difficult to enforce users' rights. Furthermore, user data on social media platforms can be processed for market research or advertising purposes, for example user profiles can be established by evaluating usage behaviour and the associated interests of users. These user profiles can then be used, for example, to place advertisements within and outside the networks which presumably correspond to the users' interests. For this purpose, cookies are usually stored on the users' computers in which the usage behaviour and the interests of the users are stored. In addition, further data can be stored in the user profiles (especially if the users are members of the respective social media platforms and are logged in to them).
For information about the respective forms of processing and the options to object (opt-out) please refer to the data protection declarations and to the information provided by the operators of the respective networks. Also in the case of requests for information and the assertion of rights of data subjects, we point out that these can be asserted most effectively with the providers. Only the providers have access to the users' data and can take measures and provide information.
