Data protection

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

SSL or TLS encryption

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

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

Information, deletion and correction

You have the right to free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing and, if necessary, a right to correction or deletion of this data at any time within the framework of the applicable legal provisions.

Cookies

Our website uses so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser will automatically delete them.

In some cases, cookies from third-party companies can also be stored on your device when you enter our site (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain third-party services (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have different functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies serve to evaluate user behavior or to display advertising.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process (necessary cookies) or to provide certain functions you want (functional cookies, e.g. for the shopping cart function) or to optimize the website (e.g. cookies for measuring the web audience) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless a different legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

If cookies are used by third-party companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you about this separately within the framework of this data protection declaration and, if necessary, request consent.

This data will not be merged with other data sources.

This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of his website — the server log files must be recorded for this.

Contact form

If you send us inquiries using the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, provided that your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries sent to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this was requested.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions — in particular retention periods — remain unaffected.

Request by e‑mail, phone or fax

If you contact us by e‑mail, telephone or fax, your request, including all personal data derived from it (name, request) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

This website integrates videos from the YouTube website. The operator of the website is Google Ireland Limited (”Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

If you visit one of our websites on which YouTube is integrated, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. The YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited.

Furthermore, YouTube can save various cookies on your device. With the help of these cookies, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent attempted fraud. The cookies remain on your device until you delete them.

If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

YouTube is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Paragraph 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.

Use of Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to analyze website usage. The data collected is used to optimize our website as well as advertising measures.

Google Analytics is provided to us by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). Google processes the data regarding website usage on our behalf and is contractually obligated to take measures to ensure the security and confidentiality of the processed data.

During your visit to the website, the following data will be recorded, among others:

Pages visited
Orders including sales and ordered products
Achievement of “website goals” (e.g. contact inquiries and newsletter sign-ups)
Your behavior on the pages (e.g. time spent, clicks, scrolling behavior)
Your approximate location (country and city)
Your IP address (in shortened form, so that no clear identification is possible)

Technical information such as browser, internet provider, device, and screen resolution Source of your visit (i.e., from which website or advertising medium you came to us)

Personal data such as name, address, or contact details are never transmitted to Google Analytics.

This data is transferred to Google servers in the USA. We would like to point out that data protection laws in the USA do not guarantee the same level of protection as within the EU.

Google Analytics stores cookies in your web browser for two years from your last visit. These cookies contain a randomly generated user ID, which allows you to be recognized on future website visits.

The recorded data is stored together with the randomly generated user ID, which allows for the evaluation of pseudonymous user profiles. This user-related data is automatically deleted after 14 months. Other data remains stored in aggregated form indefinitely.

If you do not agree with the collection of data, you can prevent it by installing the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics or by rejecting the cookies via our cookie settings dialog. Source: The text in this section was created by traffic3.

We have concluded an order processing contract with our hosting service provider in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. The data collection serves to optimize our website and its content and to measure its reach, in which we have a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

6. Online Presence in Social Media

We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms in order to be able to communicate with customers, interested parties and users active there and to inform them about our services there.

We point out that this may give rise to risks for users, as users’ data may be processed outside the area of the European Union.

As a rule, user data is used for advertising and market research purposes. Usage profiles can be created from the usage behavior and resulting interests of the users. In order to store the usage behavior and the interests of the users, cookies are usually stored on the computers of the users. If the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in to them, data can also be stored in the usage profiles regardless of the devices used by the users.

The legal basis for processing the users’ personal data is our legitimate interests in communicating with the users and effectively informing the users pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f) DSGVO. If users have been asked by the respective providers for consent to data processing, the legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) DSGVO.

In the case of requests for information and the assertion of data subject rights, we point out that these can be asserted most effectively with the providers. Only the providers have access to the users’ data and can take appropriate measures and provide information directly. Should you still require assistance, we will be happy to help.
