Thank you for your interest in our website. Protecting your privacy is very important to us. Please find more information on how we treat your data below.

1. Access Data and Hosting

You can visit our website without providing us with information about your identity. Every time you access a website, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of access, the data volume transferred and the requesting provider (access data), and which documents the retrieval. This access data is analysed exclusively for the purposes of guaranteeing a disruption-free operation of the site, as well as the improvement of our offer. According to art. 6 (1) sentence 1 point (f) GDPR, this serves to safeguard our major legitimate interests in the correct representation of our offer. All access data will be erased seven days after you have finished visiting our site at the latest.

Hosting Services via a Third-Party Provider

As part of processing carried out on our behalf, a third-party provider carries out services for the hosting and display of the website. This serves to safeguard our major legitimate interests in the correct representation of our offer. All data which is collected as part of the use of this website, or in forms intended for this purpose on the online shop as described below, will be processed on their servers. Processing on other servers only occurs within the scope outlined here.

This service provider resides within a country belonging to the European Union or the European Economic Area.

2. Data Collection and Use for Contract Processing

We collect personal data if you disclose them as part of your order or while contacting us (e.g. by contact form or email). Obligatory fields are marked as such, because in these cases, we urgently require this data for contract processing or for the processing of your contact request and you will be unable to complete the order or send off your contact request without supplying these. Which data is collected is apparent from the corresponding input form. In accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 point b GDPR, we use the data with which you have provided us for contract processing and the processing of your queries. After the successful completion of the contract, your data will be limited for its further processing and, after the expiry of any potential retention periods stipulated by fiscal and commercial law, erased, insofar as you have not expressly consented to the further use of your data or insofar as we are subject to a legally-permissible use of data which extends beyond this, of which we inform you in this declaration.

3. Cookies and Web Analysis

To make the visit to our website more interesting and to allow the use of specific functions, to display appropriate products or for market research purposes, we use what are referred to as cookies on various sites. This serves to safeguard our major legitimate interests in an optimised presentation of our offer according to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1, point f GDPR. Cookies are small text files that are automatically saved on your terminal device. Some of the cookies that we use will be deleted again following the end of the browser session, i. e. after you close the browser (commonly known as session cookies). Other cookies stay on your terminal device and allow us to recognise your browser when you next visit our website (persistent cookies). For the duration of storage, please see the overview of cookie settings of your web browser. You can adjust your browser settings so that you are informed when cookies are being placed and so that you can decide individually for each cookie, for cookies for certain cases or in general if you want to accept them or not. Each browser differs in how it manages the cookie settings. How you can change your cookie settings is explained in each browser’s help menu.

Use of Google (Universal) Analytics for Web Analysis

This website makes use of Google (Universal) Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google LLC (www.google.de). This serves to safeguard our major legitimate interests in an optimised presentation of our offer according to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1, point f GDPR. Google (Universal) Analytics uses methods which enable them to analyse your use of our website such as, for example, cookies. The information which is collected about your use of this website automatically is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Upon activating IP anonymisation on this website, your IP address is abbreviated before being transmitted within European Union member states or other states which are part of the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Anonymised IP addresses which Google Analytics transmits from your browser will fundamentally not be combined with other data from Google. After the purpose no longer applies and after we cease to use Google Analytics, the data which was collected in this context will be erased.

Google LLC has its company headquarters in the USA and is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield. A current certificate can be viewed here. Based on this agreement between the USA and the European Commission, the latter has determined an adequate level of data protection for those companies which are certified under the Privacy Shield.

You may prevent any data created by the cookie and relating to website usage on your part (including your IP address) from being transmitted to and being processed by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the link below: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
