9. Automated decision-making
We make decisions on the basis of automated processing with respect to matters that may have (significant) consequences for individuals. These are decisions taken by computer programs or systems without human intervention.
The automated decisions on our website relate to the generation and delivery of price quotations based on user-submitted requests.
When a user provides their contact details and requests a quote for a specific product, our system automatically processes this request and sends a corresponding price quotation via email.
The consequence of this automated process is that the user receives a timely and relevant price estimate without manual intervention. This process does not produce legal effects or similarly significant impacts on the user.
The logic behind this decision-making is based on predefined pricing rules, product selection, and user input (such as selected product or inquiry details). No profiling or complex evaluation of personal data is involved.
10. Submitting a complaint
If you are not satisfied with the way in which we handle (a complaint about) the processing of your personal data, you have the right to submit a complaint to the Data Protection Authority.

Annex
WooCommerce
We use WooCommerce on this website to display and structure our products. WooCommerce is used exclusively as a product catalogue and categorisation tool.
On our website, WooCommerce is not used for:
- creating customer accounts,
- user registration or user login,
- shopping cart functions,
- the checkout,
- order processing,
- payment processing,
- shipping cost calculations,
- invoicing or delivery handling.
When you visit our website, WooCommerce may, for technical reasons, process a limited amount of data required for the proper display and functioning of the product catalogue, such as:
- products viewed,
- technical device information,
- browser type,
- IP address,
- as well as cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for the functionality of the website.
This processing takes place in order to provide the website securely and efficiently and to present our products in a structured form.
If you contact us to request a quote, the personal data you provide is processed as part of our contact and quotation request process, and not via WooCommerce checkout functions.
Elementor
We use Elementor to create and display the content and layout of this website. Elementor itself generally does not process any personal data independently, but it may process technically necessary data required for pages to load correctly, such as IP address, browser information and device-related data.
Google Fonts / Adobe Fonts
We use fonts to ensure a consistent and visually appealing appearance of our website.
Google Fonts are hosted locally on our own server. Therefore, when these fonts are displayed, no connection is established to Google's servers and no personal data is transferred to Google in this context.
In addition, we use Adobe Fonts. When Adobe Fonts are loaded, your browser may transmit personal data such as your IP address, browser information and technical connection data to Adobe so that the fonts can be displayed correctly.
Google Maps
This website may use Google Maps to display geographic information. When Google Maps is loaded, Google may process personal data such as your IP address, location-related data and technical browser information. This processing takes place in order to provide map and location functions.
YouTube
This website may embed videos from YouTube. When you access a page with an embedded YouTube video, personal data such as your IP address, browser information and usage data may be transmitted to YouTube/Google. If you are also logged into your YouTube or Google account at the same time, this information may also be associated with your user account.
Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics to analyse the use of the website and to improve its content and performance. Google Analytics may process personal data such as IP address, device information, browser information, pages visited, visit duration and interaction data.
Where legally required, Google Analytics is only used on the basis of your consent.
Google reCAPTCHA
We use security technologies such as Google reCAPTCHA to protect our website from spam, abuse and automated attacks. These services may process personal data such as IP address, browser information, device data, referrer URL, mouse movements, timing behaviour and other signals used to distinguish human access from automated access.
This processing takes place in order to protect the website as well as the integrity of our forms and systems.
Complianz | The Privacy Suite for WordPress
This website uses the „Privacy Suite for WordPress“ by Complianz to record proof of consent. For this function, your IP address is anonymised and stored in our database. Further information can be found in Complianz's privacy statement.

Administrators and reviewers can view the privacy notice of the Loco Translate plugin.
Contact and quotation requests
If you contact us via our website to request information or a quote, we process the personal data you provide, such as your name, email address, company details and the content of your enquiry, in order to respond to your request and provide the requested quote.
Where quotes are generated and sent automatically, this is done on the basis of predefined product and request parameters. This process does not involve profiling and does not produce any legal or similarly significant effects within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR.
