3. Server log files
When you visit this website, access data is automatically stored in server log files (including IP address, date/time, page accessed and browser type).

5. Contact and inquiry form
If you use our inquiry form, we process the data you enter (e.g. name, company, email, phone, product/part number, message) to handle your inquiry and any follow-up questions. The form is implemented with WPForms; the inquiry data is transmitted server-side to our CRM/marketing system EVALANCHE.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (handling your inquiry and pre-contractual measures) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (efficient processing and documentation of inquiries). Your data will be deleted once the purpose for storing it no longer applies, unless statutory retention periods require otherwise.
