Privacy Information

We collect, process, and use your personal data exclusively within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, in particular pursuant to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), and the German Telemedia Act (TMG).

1. Collection and Processing of Personal Data

When you use our websites, you generally remain anonymous as long as you do not voluntarily provide us with personal data. We collect personal data only if you provide it to us on your own initiative—for example, in the context of a contact request, a quotation request, or e-mail communication.

If you contact us by e-mail or via a form on our website (e.g., to request a quotation or obtain further information), the data you submit will be stored and used exclusively for the purpose of processing your request (e.g., preparing and sending a quotation) and for any follow-up questions.

Furthermore, we reserve the right to forward your inquiry, in line with your expressed interest, to up to five of our carefully selected partner companies—especially if we are unable to fulfill your specific request ourselves (e.g., for certain engine variants). These partner companies will also use your data exclusively for processing your inquiry and preparing a quotation.

Your data is processed pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of pre-contractual measures). Disclosure to partner companies is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in an efficient and appropriate handling of your inquiry), provided that your overriding interests requiring protection do not prevail.

2. E-Mail Communication for Informational Purposes

If you have provided us with your e-mail address, we may use it to inform you about product innovations or other relevant information—exclusively within the legally permissible framework.

3. Server Log Files

Each time you access our website, access data (so-called server log files) is automatically collected. This includes:

• name of the accessed page/file

• date and time of access

• volume of data transferred

• message indicating successful retrieval

• browser type and version

• operating system

• referrer URL

• IP address

• requesting provider

This data is evaluated exclusively for statistical purposes, for optimizing our services, and for ensuring the security of our website.

4. Confidentiality and Disclosure of Data

We treat your personal data as strictly confidential and do not disclose it to third parties unless you have explicitly consented or we are legally obliged to do so.

5. Integration of Third-Party Content

Our online offering may include third-party content, e.g., YouTube videos, maps from Google Maps, RSS feeds, or graphics from other websites. The providers of such content (“third-party providers”) require your IP address in order to transmit the content to your browser.

We strive to integrate only content whose providers use the IP address solely for the delivery of the content. However, we have no influence on whether third-party providers store your IP address, for example for statistical purposes. Where we become aware of such practices, we will inform you accordingly.

6. Data Transmission on the Internet

Please note that data transmission on the Internet may have security vulnerabilities. Absolute protection against access by third parties is not possible.

7. Right of Access, Rectification, Erasure

Upon request, you have the right to receive information free of charge about the personal data we store about you. You also have the right to rectification of incorrect data as well as restriction (blocking) and erasure, provided that no statutory retention obligations prevent this.
Please send your request to the address stated in the legal notice (“Impressum”).
