Pri­vacy Pol­icy

The oper­a­tors of this web­site take the pro­tec­tion of your per­sonal data very seri­ously. We treat your per­sonal data con­fi­den­tially and in accor­dance with statu­tory data pro­tec­tion reg­u­la­tions as well as this Pri­vacy Pol­icy.

If you use this web­site, var­i­ous pieces of per­sonal data will be col­lected. Per­sonal infor­ma­tion includes any data with which you could be per­son­ally iden­ti­fied. This Pri­vacy Pol­icy explains what infor­ma­tion we col­lect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what pur­pose this is done.

Please note that data trans­mit­ted via the inter­net (e.g., via email com­mu­ni­ca­tion) may be sub­ject to secu­rity breaches. Com­plete pro­tec­tion of data against access by third par­ties is not pos­si­ble.

Revo­ca­tion of your con­sent to data pro­cess­ing

Many data pro­cess­ing oper­a­tions are only pos­si­ble with your express con­sent. You may with­draw your con­sent at any time. To do so, an infor­mal mes­sage sent to us by email is suf­fi­cient.

You have the right to have data which we process on the basis of your con­sent or in ful­fil­ment of a con­tract auto­mat­i­cally deliv­ered to your­self or to a third party in a stan­dard, machine-read­able for­mat. If you request the direct trans­fer of data to another data con­troller, this will only occur if it is tech­ni­cally fea­si­ble.

SSL and TLS encryp­tion

This site uses SSL or TLS encryp­tion for secu­rity rea­sons and for the pro­tec­tion of the trans­mis­sion of con­fi­den­tial con­tent, such as the enquiries you send to us as site oper­a­tor. You can recog­nise an encrypted con­nec­tion by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from 'http://' to 'https://', and the lock sym­bol in your browser bar.

If SSL or TLS encryp­tion is acti­vated, the data you trans­fer to us can­not be read by third par­ties.

Infor­ma­tion, block­ing and dele­tion

As per­mit­ted by law, you have the right to be pro­vided with infor­ma­tion free of charge at any time about any of your per­sonal data that is stored as well as its ori­gin, the recip­i­ent and the pur­pose for which it has been processed.

We hereby expressly pro­hibit the use of con­tact data pub­lished in the con­text of web­site legal notice require­ments with regard to send­ing pro­mo­tional and infor­ma­tional mate­ri­als not expressly requested. Web­site oper­a­tors expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unso­licited send­ing of pro­mo­tional mate­r­ial, for exam­ple spam emails.

3. Data col­lec­tion on our web­site

Cook­ies

Some of our pages use cook­ies. Cook­ies do not dam­age your com­puter and do not con­tain viruses. Cook­ies help to make our web­site more user-friendly, effi­cient and secure. Cook­ies are small text files that are stored on your com­puter and saved by your browser.

Most of the cook­ies we use are 'ses­sion cook­ies'. They are auto­mat­i­cally deleted after your visit. Other cook­ies remain in your device's mem­ory until you delete them. These cook­ies enable us to recog­nise your browser when you next visit the site.

You can con­fig­ure your browser so that you are informed about the use of cook­ies and you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept or reject a cookie. Alter­na­tively, your browser can be con­fig­ured to auto­mat­i­cally accept cook­ies under cer­tain con­di­tions, or to always reject them, or to auto­mat­i­cally delete cook­ies when clos­ing your browser. Dis­abling cook­ies may limit your abil­ity to use some of the func­tions of this web­site.

Cook­ies which are nec­es­sary to allow elec­tronic com­mu­ni­ca­tions or to pro­vide cer­tain func­tions you wish to use (such as the shop­ping cart) are set on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The web­site oper­a­tor has a legit­i­mate inter­est in stor­ing cook­ies to ensure the fault-free and opti­mised pro­vi­sion of its ser­vices. If other cook­ies (such as those used to analyse your surf­ing behav­iour) are also stored, they will be treated sep­a­rately in this Pri­vacy Pol­icy.

Server log files

The web­site provider auto­mat­i­cally col­lects and stores infor­ma­tion in so-called 'server log files', which your browser auto­mat­i­cally trans­mits to us. This includes:

• Browser type and ver­sion
• Oper­at­ing sys­tem used
• Refer­rer URL
• Host name of the access­ing com­puter
• Time of the server request
• and IP address

This data will not be com­bined with data from other sources.

The basis for data pro­cess­ing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, which allows data to be processed in order to ful­fil a con­tract or for mea­sures pre­lim­i­nary to a con­tract.

Con­tact form

If you send us enquiries via the con­tact form, your details from the enquiry form, includ­ing the con­tact details you have pro­vided there, will be stored by us for the pur­pose of pro­cess­ing the enquiry and in the event of fol­low-up enquiries. We do not pass on this data with­out your con­sent.

We will there­fore process any data you enter onto the con­tact form only with your con­sent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You may revoke your con­sent at any time. To do so, an infor­mal mes­sage sent to us by email is suf­fi­cient. The legal­ity of the data pro­cess­ing per­formed prior to the revo­ca­tion remains unaf­fected by the revo­ca­tion.

We will retain the data you pro­vide on the con­tact form until such time as you request its dele­tion, revoke your con­sent for its stor­age, or the pur­pose for its stor­age no longer applies (e.g., after ful­fill­ing your request). The manda­tory pro­vi­sions of law, with par­tic­u­lar regard to data con­ser­va­tion peri­ods, remain unaf­fected.

Pro­cess­ing of data (cus­tomer and con­tract data)

We col­lect, process, and use per­sonal data only inso­far as it is nec­es­sary to jus­tify, estab­lish, or mod­ify legal rela­tion­ships with us (mas­ter data). This occurs on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, which allows the pro­cess­ing of data to ful­fil con­trac­tual oblig­a­tion or to under­take mea­sures lead­ing to such a con­tract. We col­lect, process and use your per­sonal data about the use of our web­site (usage data) only to the extent required to enable you to access our ser­vice or to bill you for the same.

The cus­tomer data col­lected will be deleted after com­ple­tion of the order or ter­mi­na­tion of the busi­ness rela­tion­ship. Statu­tory reten­tion peri­ods remain unaf­fected.

4. Newslet­ter

Newslet­ter data

If you would like to receive our newslet­ter (avail­able via our web­site), we require your email address as well as infor­ma­tion that allows us to ver­ify that you are the owner of the email address pro­vided and that you agree to receive the newslet­ter. Fur­ther data is not col­lected or only col­lected on a vol­un­tary basis. We use this data exclu­sively for send­ing the requested infor­ma­tion and do not pass it on to third par­ties.

The data entered in the newslet­ter reg­is­tra­tion form is processed exclu­sively on the basis of your con­sent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke your con­sent to the stor­age of this data and the email address, as well as its use for send­ing the newslet­ter, at any time, for exam­ple via the 'unsub­scribe' link in the newslet­ter. The law­ful­ness of data pro­cess­ing already car­ried out remains unaf­fected.

The data pro­vided when reg­is­ter­ing for the newslet­ter will be used to dis­trib­ute the newslet­ter until such time as you can­cel your sub­scrip­tion, when said data will be deleted. Data we have stored for other pur­poses (e.g., email addresses for the mem­bers area) remains unaf­fected by this.

5. Analy­sis tools and adver­tis­ing

Google Ana­lyt­ics

This web­site uses Google Ana­lyt­ics, a web analy­sis ser­vice. This is oper­ated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphithe­atre Park­way, Moun­tain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Ana­lyt­ics uses so-called 'cook­ies'. These are text files which are stored on your com­puter and allow your use of the web­site to be analysed. The infor­ma­tion gen­er­ated by the cookie about your use of the web­site will typ­i­cally be trans­mit­ted to and stored by Google on servers in the USA.

Google Ana­lyt­ics cook­ies are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The web­site oper­a­tor has a legit­i­mate inter­est in analysing user behav­iour in order to opti­mise both its web­site and its adver­tis­ing.

IP anonymi­sa­tion

We have acti­vated the IP anonymi­sa­tion fea­ture on this web­site. This means that your IP address will be trun­cated by Google within the mem­ber states of the Euro­pean Union or other con­tract­ing states to the Agree­ment on the Euro­pean Eco­nomic Area prior to trans­mis­sion to the United States. Only in excep­tional cases are IP addresses trans­ferred to a Google server in the USA and trun­cated there. On behalf of the oper­a­tor of this web­site, Google will use this infor­ma­tion to analyse your use of the web­site, com­pile reports regard­ing web­site activ­ity, and pro­vide other ser­vices to the web­site oper­a­tor related to web­site and inter­net usage. The IP address pro­vided by your browser in the frame­work of Google Ana­lyt­ics will not be com­bined with other data from Google.

Browser plu­gin

You can pre­vent the stor­age of cook­ies by chang­ing the rel­e­vant set­tings of your browser. How­ever, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use all the fea­tures of this web­site. You can also pre­vent data gen­er­ated by cook­ies, about your use of the web­site (incl. your IP address), from being trans­ferred to Google, and the pro­cess­ing of this data by Google, by down­load­ing and installing the browser plu­gin avail­able at the fol­low­ing link: http://​tools.​google.​com/​dlpage/​gaoptout?​hl=de.

Con­tracted data pro­cess­ing

We have entered into a con­tract with Google to out­source our data pro­cess­ing and have fully imple­mented the strict require­ments of the Ger­man data pro­tec­tion author­i­ties when using Google Ana­lyt­ics.

6. Plu­g­ins and tools

YouTube

Our web­site uses plug-ins from YouTube, which is oper­ated by Google. The web­site oper­a­tor is YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

If you visit one of our pages fea­tur­ing a YouTube plug-in, a con­nec­tion to the YouTube servers is estab­lished. The YouTube server is then informed about which of our pages you have vis­ited.

If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to directly asso­ci­ate your surf­ing habits with your per­sonal pro­file. You can pre­vent this by log­ging out of your YouTube account.

YouTube is used in the inter­ests of mak­ing our online pres­ence more attrac­tive. This con­sti­tutes a legit­i­mate inter­est in accor­dance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Fur­ther infor­ma­tion about the han­dling of user data can be found in YouTube's pri­vacy pol­icy: https://​www.​google.​de/​intl/​de/​policies/​privacy.

Google Web Fonts

This site uses so-called web fonts pro­vided by Google so as to be able to uni­formly dis­play fonts. When you access a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to dis­play texts and fonts cor­rectly.

To do this, the browser you use must con­nect to Google's servers. As a result, Google learns that our web­site has been accessed via your IP address. The use of Google web fonts is in the inter­ests of a con­sis­tent and attrac­tive pre­sen­ta­tion of our online offers. This con­sti­tutes a legit­i­mate inter­est in accor­dance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

If your browser does not sup­port web fonts, a default font will be used by your com­puter.

Fur­ther infor­ma­tion about the han­dling of user data can be found at https://​developers.​google.​com/​fonts/​faq and in Google's pri­vacy pol­icy at: https://​www.​google.​com/​policies/​privacy/.

Google Maps

This site uses the Google Maps map ser­vice via an API. This is oper­ated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphithe­atre Park­way, Moun­tain View, CA 94043, USA.

To use Google Maps, your IP address must be saved. This infor­ma­tion is gen­er­ally trans­mit­ted to a Google server in the US and stored there. The provider of this site has no influ­ence on this data trans­fer.

The use of Google Maps is in the inter­est of an appeal­ing pre­sen­ta­tion of our web­site and facil­i­tates the loca­tion of the places we spec­ify on the web­site. This con­sti­tutes a legit­i­mate inter­est in accor­dance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Fur­ther infor­ma­tion about the hand­ing of user data can be found in Google's pri­vacy pol­icy at https://​www.​google.​de/​intl/​de/​policies/​privacy.
