Data Protection

The operators of these pages 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 privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data will be collected. Personal data are data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Note on the responsible body

The responsible body for data processing on this website is:

The responsible body is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses, etc.).

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. An informal message by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is intended to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims (objection according to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR). If your personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing; this also applies to profiling, as far as it is related to such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will then no longer be used for the purpose of direct advertising (objection under Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, those affected have a right of complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged violation. This right of complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a standard, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible party, this will only be done if it is technically feasible.

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, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. 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 icon in your browser line.

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

Information, blocking, deletion, and correction

Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing and, if necessary, a right to correction, blocking, or deletion of this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address provided in the imprint.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
• If you have lodged an objection according to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

Objection to promotional emails

We hereby object to the use of contact data published within the scope of the imprint obligation to send unsolicited advertising and information materials.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Cookies are small text files 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 on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit.

You can set your browser to inform you about the use of cookies and only allow cookies on a case-by-case basis, disable cookies in certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Cookies required for electronic communication processes or for the provision of certain functions desired by you (e.g., shopping cart function) are stored based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Other cookies, such as those for analyzing your browsing behavior, are addressed separately in this privacy policy.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies enable basic functions and are necessary for the proper functioning of the website. The following essential cookies are stored on our website:

Server Log Files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files, which your browser automatically sends to us. These are:

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

This data will not be merged with other sources of data.

The collection of this data is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in ensuring the error-free presentation and optimization of its website; for this, the server log files must be recorded.

Request by Email or Phone

If you contact us by email, phone, or fax, your request, including all personal data (name, request), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not share this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your request relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) and/or our legitimate interests (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR), as we have a legitimate interest in the effective processing of requests addressed to us.

The data you send to us via contact requests remains with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions - especially statutory retention periods - remain unaffected.

Google Tag Manager

We use the Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. The Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows us to integrate tracking or statistical tools and other technologies on our website. The Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, does not store cookies, and does not perform independent analyses. It only serves to manage and play out the tools integrated through it. However, the Google Tag Manager does capture your IP address, which can also be transferred to Google's parent company in the United States. The use of the Google Tag Manager is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the fast and uncomplicated integration and management of various tools on its website. If the relevant consent has been requested, processing is carried out solely on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

Google Analytics

This website uses features of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies". These are text files that are stored on your computer and allow an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The storage of Google Analytics cookies and the use of this analysis tool are based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its website and its advertising.

IP Anonymization

We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. This means that your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities and to provide the website operator with other services related to website and Internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

Order Processing

We have concluded a contract for order processing with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Demographic Features with Google Analytics

This website uses the "demographic features" function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be created that contain statements about the age, gender, and interests of the site visitors. These data come from interest-based advertising from Google and from visitor data from third parties. These data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described in the section "Objection to Data Collection".

Stored Cookies

The following cookies (see "Data Collection on Our Website" section) are stored by Google once you give your consent for data collection for marketing purposes:

FACEBOOK PIXEL

This website uses the visitor action pixel from Facebook for conversion measurement. The provider of this service is Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. However, according to Facebook, the collected data is also transferred to the USA and other third countries.

Behavior of the site visitors: This allows the behavior of site visitors to be tracked after they are redirected to the provider's website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This allows the effectiveness of the Facebook ads to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and future advertising measures to be optimized.

Data storage and processing by Facebook: The data collected is anonymous to us as the operator of this website; we cannot infer the identity of users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with Facebook's data usage policy. This allows Facebook to enable the placement of ads on Facebook pages as well as outside of Facebook. We as the website operator cannot influence this use of data.

Legal Basis: The use of Facebook Pixel is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures including social media. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to store cookies), the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.

Data transfer to the USA: The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum and https://de-de.facebook.com/help/566994660333381.

Joint Responsibility: To the extent that personal data is collected on our website using the tool described here and forwarded to Facebook, we and Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland are jointly responsible for this data processing (Art. 26 GDPR). The joint responsibility is limited to the collection of the data and its forwarding to Facebook. The subsequent processing by Facebook is not part of the joint responsibility. The obligations incumbent upon us jointly have been set out in an agreement on joint processing. The wording of the agreement can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum. According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing the privacy information when using the Facebook tool and for the privacy-safe implementation of the tool on our website. Facebook is responsible for the data security of Facebook products. Rights of the data subjects (e.g. requests for information) regarding the data processed by Facebook can be asserted directly with Facebook. If you assert the data subject rights with us, we are obliged to forward them to Facebook.

Facebook's Privacy Notice: You can find additional information on protecting your privacy in Facebook's privacy notices: https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

Remarketing feature "Custom Audiences": You can also deactivate the remarketing function "Custom Audiences" in the ad settings section at https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen. You need to be logged in to Facebook to do this.
