We are pleased about your interest in our website. Protecting your privacy is very important to us. Below we inform you in detail about how we handle your data.

1. Access Data and Hosting

You may visit our website without providing personal information. Each time a webpage is accessed, the web server automatically stores a so-called server log file containing, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider (access data). This data is evaluated solely to ensure trouble-free operation of the website and to improve our online presence in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. All access data is deleted no later than seven days after the end of your visit.

Hosting

Hosting and website display services are partly provided by our service providers within the framework of processing on our behalf. Unless otherwise explained in this privacy policy, all access data and all data collected via forms on this website are processed on their servers. For questions regarding our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please use the contact option described in this privacy policy.

2. Data Collection and Use When Contacting Us

We collect personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us when contacting us (e.g., via contact form or email). Mandatory fields are marked as such because we require this data to process your request. The data collected can be seen from the respective input forms.

We use the data you provide to process your request in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures or contract fulfillment). This includes, for example, preparing and sending an offer and any follow-up questions.

We may forward your request—strictly within your interest—to up to five selected partner companies if the requested engine variant cannot be supplied by us. Our partners use your data exclusively to process your request and provide an offer.

This forwarding is based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in efficiently handling your request and offering suitable solutions. After complete processing of your request, your data will be deleted unless you have expressly consented to further use or legal retention obligations apply.

3. Advertising by Email and Telephone

3.1 Email Newsletter

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we use the required or separately provided data to send you the newsletter regularly based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may unsubscribe at any time via the contact option described here or via the unsubscribe link in the newsletter. After unsubscribing, your email address will be deleted unless further use is legally permitted or you have consented.

3.2 Telephone Advertising

If you have given consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, we use your phone number for our own advertising purposes, such as informing you about offers and products. You may revoke your consent at any time. After revocation, your number will be deleted unless further lawful processing applies.

4. Cookies and Other Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to make our website user-friendly and enable certain functions. Some cookies are deleted after the browser session ends (session cookies), while others remain stored on your device (persistent cookies).
