We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. When you use this website, various items of personal data are collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done. Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. It is not possible to guarantee complete protection of data against access by third parties.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract provided to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another data controller, this will only take place to the extent that it is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential information – such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the website operator – this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar in your browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock icon in your browser bar. When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you send to us cannot be read by third parties.

Access, restriction, erasure

In accordance with the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain, free of charge, information about your stored personal data, its source and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and, where applicable, the right to have this data rectified, restricted or erased. You may contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice regarding this matter and any other queries relating to personal data.

Objection to promotional emails

We hereby object to the use of contact details published as part of the legal notice requirements for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information materials. The website operators expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising being sent, for example by spam emails.

4. Data collection on our website

Cookies

The websites use so-called cookies in some cases. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies are used to make our services more user-friendly, effective 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 so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser the next time you visit our website. You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to reject cookies in certain cases or in general, and to automatically delete cookies when you close your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website. Cookies that are necessary for carrying out electronic communications or for providing certain functions requested by you (e.g. shopping basket functionality) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Where other cookies are stored, for example cookies used to analyse your browsing behaviour, these are dealt with separately in this privacy policy.

Server log files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information in what are known as 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 is not combined with other data sources. The legal basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Contact form

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, the details you provide in the enquiry form – including the contact details you enter there – will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your enquiry and in the event of any follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent. The processing of the data entered in the contact form is therefore carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). You may withdraw this consent at any time. To do so, simply send us an informal email. The lawfulness of the data processing operations carried out up to the point of withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal. The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. once your enquiry has been dealt with). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Registration on this website

You can register on our website in order to use additional functions on the site. We use the data entered during registration solely for the purpose of providing the respective service or offer for which you have registered. The mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise, we will reject the registration. For important changes, for example to the scope of our services or where technically necessary changes are made, we use the email address provided during registration to inform you accordingly. The data entered during registration is processed on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may withdraw your consent at any time. An informal notification by email is sufficient. The lawfulness of any data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal of consent remains unaffected by the withdrawal. The data collected during registration will be stored by us for as long as you remain registered on our website and will subsequently be deleted. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

5. Analytics tools and advertising

Google Analytics

This website uses features of the web analytics 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 enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google Analytics cookies are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the 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 enabled the IP anonymisation feature on this website. This means that your IP address is truncated by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted 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, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data held by Google.
