This statement is constantly updated to changing requirements of the law and the jurisdiction.

Responsible according to German data protection law is Loewe Technology GmbH, postal address: Industriestraße 11, 96317 Kronach, Germany.

Which data is collected?

Our website collects personal information you actively provide (for example, when you sign up for a dealer contact or newsletter). Personal data is understood to be information about personal or factual circumstances of a specific or identifiable person. Furthermore, the website automatically collects user data arising from your access, ie. Host name of the accessing computer, IP address, user name, date and time of the respective access.

The website uses so-called "cookies". These are files that are stored on your computer during your visit at our website and that your browser "remembers". They serve to recognize regularly returning visitors of a page.

In addition, we use so-called counting pixels to support online advertising. These are small image files built into the website to collect traffic. This allows us to evaluate how many visitors visited our pages and which advertisements they accessed. The information collected with cookies and pixels does not include your name, address, telephone number or e-mail address.

For what purposes is the data used?

We use "your" data in accordance with the law to process your requests or fulfill any service requested by you.
