Using cookies enables us to make it easier and more user-friendly to navigate the website.

Retention period
We store personal data collected for business purposes only as long as it is necessary for the business relationship, after which we then delete the data. A business purpose is deemed to have expired at the latest when the limitation periods for all claims that could arise from the business relationship have expired pursuant to generally applicable provisions. In case of doubt, this period should be assumed to be 10 years after the last business transaction. If we receive personal data and no related business transaction occurs, we will delete this data after 3 years at the latest. Naturally, we will also delete your data if a business purpose no longer exists and you revoke your consent.
