We are pleased that you are visiting our website and thank you for your interest.

You can recognize an encrypted connection by the "https://" prefix and the lock icon in your browser address bar.
Data Collection When Visiting Our Website
When you use our website for informational purposes only—that is, if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information—we collect only the data that your browser transmits to our server (so-called “server log files”). When you visit our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display the website to you:
- The website you visited
- Date and time of access
- Amount of data sent in bytes
- Source/referrer from which you accessed the page
- Browser used
- Operating system used
- IP address used (if applicable: in anonymized form)
Processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR based on our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data will not be disclosed or used for any other purpose. However, we reserve the right to review the server log files retrospectively should there be concrete indications of unlawful use.
Data collection in the customer portal (downloads)
When you download software, updates, and security-critical documents (e.g., circuit diagrams, operating instructions), we collect your email address, machine number, IP address, and the date and time of the download.
Purpose & Legal Basis: Since our products and documents are subject to export control regulations (EU Dual-Use Regulation) and security provisions, we are legally obligated to document the location of access and the recipient. Processing is carried out to fulfill legal obligations (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR) and to defend against liability (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Retention period: The data is stored for the duration of the statutory export control and tax retention obligations and is subsequently deleted.
Cookies
To make your visit to our website more engaging and to enable the use of certain features, we use so-called cookies on various pages. These are small text files that are stored on your device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted at the end of the browser session, i.e., after you close your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your device and allow us or our partner companies (third-party cookies) to recognize your browser on your next visit (persistent cookies). When cookies are set, they collect and process certain user information to a specific extent, such as browser and location data as well as IP addresses. Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a predetermined period, which may vary depending on the cookie.
If personal data is also processed by individual cookies we have implemented, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR either for the performance of the contract or in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) f GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website as well as a user-friendly and effective design of the site visit.
Please note that you can configure your browser to be notified when cookies are set and decide individually whether to accept them, or to exclude the acceptance of cookies in specific cases or generally.
Please note that if you do not accept cookies, the functionality of our website may be limited.
Contact / Contact Form
Personal data is collected when you contact us (e.g., via the contact form or email). When using our forms, the page from which you accessed the form is also transmitted. This information helps us better understand the context of your inquiry and provide you with relevant information. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your inquiry or for establishing contact and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your inquiry pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.
Sending the email newsletter to existing customers
If you have provided us with your email address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to periodically send you offers via email for similar goods or services from our product range, such as those you have already purchased. For this purpose, we are not required to obtain separate consent from you pursuant to Section 7(3) of the German Unfair Competition Act (UWG). Data processing in this regard is based solely on our legitimate interest in personalized direct marketing pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. If you initially objected to the use of your email address for this purpose, we will not send you any emails. You are entitled to object to the use of your email address for the aforementioned advertising purposes at any time with future effect by notifying the controller named at the beginning of this notice.
Upon receipt of your objection, the use of your email address for advertising purposes will be discontinued immediately.
Advertising by Mail
Based on our legitimate interest in personalized direct marketing, we reserve the right to store your first and last name, your mailing address, and—to the extent we have received this additional information from you within the scope of the contractual relationship — your title, academic degree, year of birth, and your professional, industry, or business designation in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR and to use them for sending interesting offers and information about our products via regular mail.
You may object to the storage and use of your data for this purpose at any time by sending a corresponding message to the controller.
Use of YouTube Videos
We embed videos from the “YouTube” platform provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, on our website.
To protect your privacy, we use a privacy-friendly two-click solution in combination with YouTube’s enhanced privacy mode. Simply visiting our website does not result in any data being transmitted to Google or the DoubleClick advertising network.
Only when you give your consent via our consent banner or actively click on the video is a connection established to Google’s servers and the video loaded. From that moment on, data (including your IP address and which page you are visiting) is transmitted to Google. If you are logged into your YouTube or Google account at the same time, Google can directly associate this data with your profile. If you do not wish this to happen, you must log out before activating the video.
- Legal basis: Data processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
- Transfer to third countries: When using Google services, data may be transferred to Google LLC in the United States. Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures an adequate level of data protection.
For more information on data usage, please refer to Google’s Privacy Policy.
Rights of the Data Subject
Applicable data protection law grants you comprehensive data subject rights (rights of access and intervention) vis-à-vis the controller regarding the processing of your personal data, about which we inform you below:
Right of access pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR
In particular, you have the right to obtain information about your personal data processed by us, the purposes of processing, the categories of personal data processed, the recipients or categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period or the criteria for determining the storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection to processing, lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, the origin of your data if it was not collected from you by us, the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, and, where applicable, meaningful information regarding the logic involved, the significance of such processing for you, and the intended effects of such processing, as well as your right to be informed of the safeguards in place pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR when your data is transferred to third countries;
Right to rectification pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR
You have the right to have inaccurate data concerning you rectified without delay and/or to have incomplete data stored by us completed;
Right to erasure pursuant to Article 17 of the GDPR
You have the right to request the erasure of your personal data if the conditions of Article 17(1) of the GDPR are met. However, this right does not apply, in particular, if the processing is necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims;
Right to restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data as long as the accuracy of your data, which you have contested, is being verified; if you object to the erasure of your data due to unlawful processing and instead request the restriction of processing; if you need your data to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims, after we no longer need this data once the purpose has been fulfilled, or if you have objected on grounds relating to your particular situation, as long as it has not yet been determined whether our legitimate grounds override yours;
Right to be informed pursuant to Art. 19 GDPR
If you have exercised your right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obligated to notify all recipients to whom your personal data has been disclosed of this rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. You have the right to be informed of these recipients.
Right to Data Portability pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR
You have the right to receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format or to request that it be transmitted to another controller, provided this is technically feasible;
Right to withdraw consent pursuant to Art. 7(3) GDPR
You have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of data at any time with future effect. In the event of withdrawal, we will delete the relevant data immediately, unless further processing can be based on a legal basis for processing without consent. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent prior to withdrawal;
Right to lodge a complaint pursuant to Article 77 of the GDPR
If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR, you have—without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy —the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement.
Objection
If, as part of a balancing of interests, we process your personal data based on our overriding legitimate interest, you have the right at any time to object to this processing with effect for the future for reasons arising from your particular situation.
If you exercise your right to object, we will cease processing the data in question. However, we reserve the right to continue processing if we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms, or if the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.
If we process your personal data for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing purposes. You may exercise this right as described above.
Collection and Processing of Personal Data
We process your inquiry data (e.g., services used, names of contact persons) to fulfill our contractual obligations and provide services in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. The information marked as mandatory in online forms is required for the further processing of your inquiry.
Use and Disclosure of Personal Data
We use the personal data you provide exclusively for the specific purpose of fulfilling your wishes and requirements, i.e., generally to process the contract concluded with you or to respond to your inquiry.
Your personal data will not be disclosed, sold, or otherwise transferred to third parties unless this is necessary for the purpose of contract fulfillment, the provision of information, or the performance of a service.
Duration of storage of personal data
The duration of the storage of personal data is determined by the respective statutory retention period (e.g., retention periods under commercial and tax law). After the retention period expires, the relevant data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment or initiation of a contract and/or we no longer have a legitimate interest in continuing to store it.
