All personal data is collected, processed and used in accordance with the applicable provisions of the GDPR for the protection of personal data.


2. Purpose of data collection and, if applicable, transmission of the data

We only collect personal data if you give it to us yourself, e.g. during registration. The legal basis for the processing, insofar as the contact is aimed at subsequent contract execution, is Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR. If you establish e-mail contact via the addresses given on our website without concluding a contract, we will store your data out of a legitimate interest in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If we obtain your consent to data processing, we refer to Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

We transfer your personal data to third parties exclusively to the service partners involved, e.g. to those we use in the context of contract processing.

As a rule, it is not passed on to third parties outside the EU.

Data is entered in the areas described below:

3. Cookies and server log files 

The mentioned website www.bimondis.com uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are filed and saved on a computer system via an Internet browser.

The use of cookies makes it possible for the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the person concerned from others.

By using cookies, we can increase the user-friendliness of this website and provide services that would not be possible without cookies. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their access data each time they visit the website because this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system.

By changing the setting of the respective Internet browser, the setting of cookies for all Internet pages can be prevented. Cookies that have already been set can be deleted again. This is possible in all common Internet browsers, but the function of the website is then partially restricted.

For technical reasons, so-called server log files are also created. In these files, the hosting provider saves technical data (e.g. browser type and browser version, operating system used, time of request, IP address, etc.), which the browser automatically transmits to him. There is no merging of this data with other data, so that a personal reference is not possible.
