Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may revoke any consent you have already given at any time. To do so, simply send us an informal email. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out prior to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to File a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of data protection laws, the data subject has the right to file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

If you request the direct transfer of the data to another data controller, this will be done only 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 inquiries you send to us as the website operator—this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address bar changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser’s address bar.

4. Data Collection on Our Website

Cookies

Some of the web pages on this site use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies are used to make our website 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 allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.

You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set, to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to block cookies in specific cases or generally, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. If you disable cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process or for providing certain functions you have requested (e.g., the shopping cart function) are stored pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. To the extent that other cookies (e.g., cookies used to analyze your browsing behavior) are stored, these are addressed separately in this Privacy Policy.

Server Log Files

The provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These include:

  • Browser Type and Browser Version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the connecting computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

This data is not combined with data from other sources.

The legal basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the purpose of fulfilling a contract or taking steps prior to entering into a contract. The server log files are automatically deleted after 14 days.

Contact Form

If you submit inquiries to us via the contact form, we will store the information you provide in the inquiry form—including the contact information you provide there—for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.

The processing of the data entered in the contact form is therefore based solely on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) 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 prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request that we delete it, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions—in particular 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 regarding your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there.

Google Analytics cookies are stored in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising. The data we send that is linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g., user ID), or advertising IDs is automatically deleted after 14 months. Data that has reached the end of its retention period is automatically deleted once a month.

IP Anonymization

We have enabled the IP anonymization feature on this website. This means that Google truncates your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before it is transmitted to the United States. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the United States and truncated 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 activity, and to provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data held by Google.

Browser Plugin

You can prevent cookies from being stored by adjusting your browser settings accordingly; however, please note that in this case, you may not be able to use all features of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address), as well as from processing this data, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Objection to Data Collection

You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by clicking the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set to prevent your data from being collected during future visits to this website: Disable Google Analytics.

For more information on how Google Analytics handles user data, please see Google's Privacy Policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

Contract Data Processing

We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google and fully comply with the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities regarding the use of Google Analytics.

6. Plugins and Tools

Google Maps

This site uses the Google Maps mapping service via an API. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

To use the features of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is typically transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. The provider of this site has no control over this data transfer.

We use Google Maps to ensure that our online content is presented in an appealing way and that the locations listed on our website are easy to find. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

For more information on how user data is handled, please see Google's Privacy Policy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.


Our Social Media Presence

Data Processing by Social Networks

We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social media platforms. You can find a list of the specific social media platforms we use below.

Social networks such as Facebook, Google+, etc., can generally analyze your user behavior in detail when you visit their website or a website with embedded social media content (e.g., “Like” buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media pages triggers numerous data processing operations relevant to data protection.

Specifically:

If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media page, the operator of the social media platform may associate this visit with your user account. However, your personal data may also be collected even if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media platform. In this case, data collection occurs, for example, through cookies stored on your device or by recording your IP address.

Using the data collected in this way, social media platform operators can create user profiles that store your preferences and interests. This allows interest-based ads to be displayed to you both on and off the respective social media platform. If you have an account with the respective social network, interest-based ads can be displayed on all devices on which you are currently logged in or have been logged in.

Please also note that we cannot track all data processing activities on social media platforms. Depending on the provider, additional data processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media platforms. For details, please refer to the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective social media platforms.

Legal Basis

Our social media accounts are intended to ensure the broadest possible online presence. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The analytics processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal grounds, which must be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g., consent within the meaning of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR).

Data Controller and Exercising Your Rights

When you visit one of our social media pages (e.g., Facebook), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing activities triggered by that visit. You may generally exercise your rights (right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and the right to lodge a complaint) both with us and with the operator of the respective social media platform (e.g., Facebook).

Please note that, despite our shared responsibility with the social media platform operators, we do not have full control over the data processing activities of these platforms. Our options depend largely on the corporate policies of the respective provider.

Retention period

Data collected directly by us through our social media presence is deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for storing it no longer applies, you request that we delete it, you revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions—in particular retention periods—remain unaffected.

We have no control over how long your data is stored by social media platform operators for their own purposes. For more details, please contact the social media platform operators directly (e.g., in their privacy policies; see below).
