Privacy statement
General information
We respect your wishes with regard to the protection of personal data and treat your personal data confidentially on the basis of this data protection declaration and within the framework of statutory data protection regulations.
As a rule, our website can be used without providing personal data. Insofar as personal data (e.g. name, address or e-mail addresses) is collected on our pages, this is always done on a voluntary basis as far as possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.
We have taken precautions to secure our systems and to transmit the data transmitted e.g. via the contact form in a protected manner. The transmission of data is encrypted using the SSL protocol (Secure Socket Layer). The SSL-encrypted website can be recognised in the browser by the corresponding symbol or in the URL by the HTTPS protocol (https://www.gracher.de …).
Personal data
Personal data are individual details about natural persons who allow conclusions to be drawn about their personal, economic or other circumstances. This includes, for example, address and availability data.
This does not include information that cannot be directly linked to your real identity.
All categories contained in the publicly accessible area of our website can be visited. User authentication is not required. An exception to this is – if a corresponding form is or was online – registration with one of our personalised services, where we request the name and other personal information. Without this information, we will not be able to provide these services. Data entry is therefore voluntary, but required for registration. All personal data provided by you will be treated in accordance with the applicable data protection laws. The data will be processed exclusively for the specific purpose. The data will not be passed on to third parties. Exceptions exist where it is necessary to pass on the data in order to process your enquiries – especially in the case of contracts.
