Collection and processing of personal information

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to that natural person, or who is an expression of that natural person’s physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity.

The processing of personal information may be carried out with or without the aid of computer equipment and includes the following activities: collection, recording, organization, arrangement, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

We process your personal information that you provide to us through our website only to correspond with you and only for the purpose for which you provided the information to us.

Each time you access our website, we automatically and temporarily collect and store information that your browser leaves with us during your use of our website and each time you retrieve a file in a so-called log file. In detail, the following data is stored about each access/retrieval:

• IP address
• Date and time of access
• Page called up/name of the file called up
• Web browser and requesting domain
• Amount of data transferred
• Message whether the access was successful

The processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data is not passed on or used in any other way. However, we reserve the right to check the server log files retrospectively if there are concrete indications of illegal use.

Advertising/market and opinion research

As part of advertising measures and market and opinion research measures to improve our products and services, we occasionally conduct customer surveys. In this context, data is processed in accordance with Article 6 (1) f GDPR to protect the legitimate interests of us or third parties, unless you have objected to the use of your data.

Your participation in such a survey is always voluntary and anonymous.

Use and disclosure of personal information

Your personal data (e.g. surname, first name, telephone number, address, e-mail address) that you provide to us via this website, e.g. via our contact form, will only be processed for correspondence with you, for processing your inquiry or for the purpose for which you have provided us with the data. Any other evaluation of the data, except for statistical purposes and then basically in anonymous form, does not take place.

Insofar as we use service providers to perform or fulfill tasks for us, the contractual relationships are regulated in writing in accordance with the provisions of the European Data Protection Regulation ( EU GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act ( BDSG). This concerns the following categories of recipients:

• IT service providers to ensure security and confidentiality
• Financial service providers for the processing of business activities and compliance with legal requirements
• Transport service providers
• Suppliers for the processing of direct shipments

In addition, we may share anonymous data with partners to perform statistical analysis. All of these parties are prohibited from using your personal information unless it is used to provide our services.

Storage period of your data

Your personal data, which has been provided to us via our website, will only be stored until the purpose for which it was entrusted to us has been fulfilled and the storage is necessary. Insofar as retention periods under commercial, tax or administrative law must be observed, the storage period for certain data may be up to 6 or 10 years.

Your data protection rights

As a data subject whose data we process, you have extensive rights under the EU General Data Protection Regulation. You have the right to information about your personal data processed by us, in particular about the processing purposes, the categories of personal data processed, the recipients or categories of recipients to whom your data have been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period or the criteria for determining the storage period. If you no longer agree with the processing or storage of your personal data or if your data is incorrect, you have the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing. Upon your corresponding request or revocation, we will make the necessary corrections or arrange for the deletion or restriction of the processing of your data or make the necessary corrections, insofar as this is possible under the applicable law. Furthermore, if you have given your consent, you have the right to object to processing for the future at any time, the right to data portability and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

Right to object to the collection of data in special cases as well as to direct advertising.

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data that is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) f GDPR (balance of interests), e.g. against direct advertising. Unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims, we will not further process your data.

Data encryption

To protect the confidentiality of your data, we use state-of-the-art encryption procedures (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS when transmitting your data.

Cookies

In order to make the visit to our website user-friendly and also to enable the use of certain functions, we use so-called cookies on various pages. Cookies are small text files. These are downloaded from the websites you visit to your computer or mobile device.

When using cookies, we collect and process certain user information from you in the respective individual scope of the text files, such as browser and location data and IP address. Cookies are automatically deleted after a specified duration, which may differ depending on the cookie. If you neither deactivate the cookies nor use the opt-out function, we assume that you accept the use of cookies.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called ”session cookies” and are technically necessary, for example, to enable basic website functions and their proper functioning. These cookies are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis has been specified.

You can influence the setting of cookies via your browser settings. These allow you to be informed about the setting of cookies, to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude acceptance in individual cases or in general, and to automatically delete cookies when closing the browser. Deactivating cookies may limit the functionality of our website under certain circumstances.

If consent to the storage of cookies is necessary, e.g. for marketing purposes or cookies from third-party companies, you will be informed of this and the storage of the cookies in question will be based exclusively on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR, which can be revoked at any time.

Cookiebot

In order to obtain and document your consent to the storage of cookies or similar technologies in accordance with Section 25 (1) TTDSG and Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR, we use Cookiebot, a service provided by Cybot A/S, Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen, Denmark. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR

When you call up our website, a connection is established to the servers of Cookiebot, and data such as your IP address, date and time of your consent are transmitted to Cookiebot in the process. Your cookie settings are then stored in the form of a cookie in your browser.

We have concluded an order processing contract with Cookiebot pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR.

Use of Google Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by the

Google LLC („Google“)
1600 Amphitheatre Parkway
Mountain View
CA 94043
USA

Google Analytics uses ”cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site, provided you have given your consent to cookies that are not necessary. Your personal data is processed in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, as we have a legitimate interest in analyzing the use and optimization of our website. If consent has been requested, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG. The information generated by the cookies about your use of the website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google. We have also extended Google Analytics on this website with the code ”anonymizeIP”, this guarantees the masking of your IP address so that all data is collected anonymously. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. An order processing agreement (AVV) has been concluded with Google.

On our behalf, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The data collected and linked to cookies, user IDs and advertising IDs are automatically deleted after 14 months. This deletion takes place automatically once a month.

You can refuse the storage of cookies or prevent them by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser software; however, we would like to point out that by deactivating cookies via your browser, you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent.

You also have the option of preventing the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (incl. your IP address) to Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by revoking your consent to the setting of the Google Cookie

or by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

As an alternative to the browser add-on, especially for browsers on mobile devices, you can also prevent the collection by Google Analytics by clicking on this link (Deactivate Google Analytics). An opt-out cookie will be set that prevents the future collection of your data when visiting this website. The opt-out cookie is only valid in this browser and only for our website and is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you must set the opt-out cookie again.

On our website, we use the ”demographic characteristics” function provided by Google Analytics. The function is used to be able to show you suitable advertisements within the Google advertising network. The data collected in this way can be used to create analyses and reports of our website visitors, which provide information about age, gender and interests. This data is collected through interest-based advertising by Google and from third-party website visitor data. It is not possible to assign this data to a specific person. Using the Google Ads Manager, you can deactivate this function at any time in your Google account or generally prohibit data collection by Google Analytics.

We continue to use Google Analytics to evaluate data from Double Click cookies and also AdWords for statistical purposes. If you do not wish this, you can deactivate it via the Ads Preferences Manager (http://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/?hl=de).

The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

Google Web Fonts

In order to display the content of our website correctly and graphically appealing across browsers, we use script and font libraries such as Google Web Fonts, which are provided by Google LLC.

Since these fonts are installed locally on our server, no connection to Google servers is established.

YouTube

On our website we embed videos from the YouTube website. YouTube is a service of YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

When you visit our websites, a connection is established to the YouTube servers if videos from YouTube are embedded on them. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. YouTube also uses cookies or similar technologies and stores information on your terminal device to collect information, including information about website visitors, which is used to create video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent fraud attempts.

To prevent YouTube from collecting the above-mentioned data through your visit to our website and linking it directly to your YouTube account, please log out of YouTube before visiting our site.

Data transfer to the USA

We would like to point out that our website uses plugins and tools from providers in the USA. When using these plugins and tools, it is possible that personal data from you, such as your IP address or your surfing behavior, will be transmitted to the corresponding provider of these tools in the USA.

The USA is currently not considered a safe third country in the sense of the GDPR. U.S. authorities can demand that U.S. companies hand over personal data, against which you cannot take legal action. It can therefore not be completely ruled out that your data will be processed and permanently stored by US authorities.
