LEGAL BASES OF OUR PROCESSING

The processing of personal data can be based on various legal bases. If we need your data to fulfil a contract with you or to answer your inquiries regarding a contract, the legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR. If we obtain your consent for a specific data processing, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1. p. 1 lit. a GDPR. We carry out some data processing on the basis of our legitimate interest, always balancing your interests worth protecting with our legitimate interests. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Insofar as the processing is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR.

In the following, we explain how we process personal data via our website.


DATA PROCESSING WHEN OPENING THE WEBSITE

When using the website purely for informational purposes, i.e. when you do not register or otherwise provide us with information (e.g. via a contact form), we collect the following technical information (log file data):

  • Operating system of the terminal device with which you visit our website
  • Browser (type, version & language settings)
  • the amount of data requested
  • the current IP address of the terminal device with which you visit our website
  • Date and time of access
  • the URL of the previously visited website (referrer)
  • the URL of the (sub)page you are visiting on the website
  • the Internet service provider of the accessing system

The collection of this data is technically necessary to display our website and to ensure stability and security. We (and our service provider) regularly do not know who is using an IP address. We do not merge the data listed above with other data.

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR. Since the collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website and for protection against misuse, our legitimate interest in data processing prevails at this point.


DATA SECURITY

We have taken extensive technical and operational measures to protect your data from accidental or deliberate manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons. Our security procedures are regularly reviewed and adapted to technological progress.


DATA TRANSFER

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties, unless we are legally obliged to do so, or the transfer of data is necessary for the fulfilment of a contractual relationship, or you have expressly consented to the transfer of your data.

External service providers and partner companies such as online payment providers or a shipping company commissioned with deliveries will only receive your data to the extent necessary to process your order. In these cases, however, the amount of data transmitted is limited to the necessary minimum. As far as our service providers process your personal data on our behalf, we ensure within the scope of order processing in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR that they comply with the provisions of the data protection laws in the same way. Please also note the data protection information of the respective providers.

We attach great importance to processing your data within the EU / EEA. However, it may happen that we use service providers who process data outside the EU / EEA. In these cases, we ensure that an adequate level of data protection comparable to the standards within the EU is established at the recipient prior to the transfer of your personal data. This can be achieved, for example, by means of EU standard contracts or binding corporate rules to which the company may be subject.


WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies can store various information, such as your language setting, the duration of your visit to our website or your entries made there. This avoids, for example, that you have to re-enter required form data each time you use the website. The information stored in cookies can also be used to identify preferences and to arrange content according to areas of interest.

There are different types of cookies: Session cookies are amounts of data that are only temporarily stored in the main memory and are deleted when you close your browser. Permanent or persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period of time, which may vary depending on the cookie.

First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting. Only this website may read information from these cookies. Third party cookies are set by organizations that are not operators of the website you are visiting. These cookies are used by marketing companies, for example.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data by means of cookies and their storage period may vary. If you have given us your consent, the legal basis is Art.6 para.1 p.1 lit.a GDPR. If the data processing is based on our predominant legitimate interests, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p.1 lit.f GDPR. The stated purpose then corresponds to our legitimate interest.

We use cookies to ensure the proper operation of the website, to provide basic functionalities, to measure reach and – with your consent – to tailor our services to preferred areas of interest.

DOUBLECLICK BY GOOGLE

We use on our website continues to use the online marketing tool DoubleClick by Google. DoubleClick uses cookies to display ads relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports, or to prevent users from seeing the same ads more than once. Google uses a cookie ID to help identify which ads are shown in which browser. This ensures that the same ad is not shown more than once. DoubleClick may also use cookie IDs to track conversions related to ads. For example, if a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later visits the advertiser’s site on the same browser to make a purchase, DoubleClick will use the cookie ID to track the conversion.

When you visit a page that uses DoubleClick and where DoubleClick script is enabled, your browser automatically connects directly to Google’s server. We as the website operator have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool. We inform you according to our state of knowledge: By integrating DoubleClick, Google receives the information that you have opened a part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider will find out your IP address and store it.

You can prevent the collection by this tracking procedure by not giving your consent in the cookie consent banner.

GOOGLE ANALYTICS

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) Controller for users in the EU/EEA and Switzerland is Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland. The usage includes the operating mode Universal Analytics. This makes it possible to assign data, sessions and interactions across multiple devices to a pseudonymous User-ID and thus to analyze the activities of a user across devices.

Google Analytics uses cookies that enable 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. However, due to the activation of IP anonymization on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

Insofar as data is processed outside the EEA, where there is no level of data protection corresponding to the European standard, we have concluded EU standard contractual clauses with the service provider to establish a secure level of data protection. We use the function ‘anonymizeIP’ (so-called IP masking): Due to the activation of IP anonymization on this website, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on 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. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.

During your website visit, the following data is collected, among other things:

  • The pages you visit, your “click path”.
  • achievement of “website goals” (conversions, e.g. newsletter sign-ups, downloads, purchases)
  • Your user behavior (for example, clicks, dwell time, bounce rates)
  • Your approximate location (region)
  • Your IP address (in shortened form)
  • Technical information about your browser and the end devices you use (e.g., language setting, screen resolution)
  • your internet service provider
  • the referrer URL (via which website/advertising medium you came to this website)

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your pseudonymous use of the website and compiling reports on website activity. The reports provided by Google Analytics are used to analyze the performance of our website and the success of our marketing campaigns.

The recipient of the data is Google Ireland Limited as a processor. We have concluded an order processing agreement with Google for this purpose. Google LLC, based in California, USA, and, if applicable, US authorities may access the data stored by Google. A transfer of data to the USA cannot be ruled out.

The data sent by us and linked to cookies are automatically deleted after 14 months. The deletion of data whose retention period has been reached takes place automatically once a month. You can also prevent the storage of cookies by configuring your browser software accordingly. However, if you configure your browser to refuse all cookies, you may experience limitations in functionality on this and other websites.

You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by

a. Not giving your consent to the setting of the cookie or

b. downloading and installing the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics HERE.

The legal basis for this data processing is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by accessing the cookie settings and changing your selection there.

For more information on the terms of use of Google Analytics and data protection at Google, please visit https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/en/ and https://policies.google.com/?hl=en.

The personal data is transferred to the USA on the basis of standard contractual clauses.

The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. These purposes also include our legitimate interest in data processing via Google Analytics.

The data sent by us and linked to cookies or user IDs (e.g. user ID) are automatically deleted after 14 months. Data whose retention period has been reached is automatically deleted once a month.

You can prevent the collection by this tracking procedure by not giving your consent in the cookie consent banner or by adjusting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by using the opt-out cookie https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Opt-out cookies prevent future collection of your personal data when you visit this website. To prevent Universal Analytics from collecting data across multiple devices, you must opt-out on all systems in use. For more information about Google Analytics’ terms of use and Google’s privacy policy, please visit https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html respectively at https://policies.google.com/?hl=de.


GOOGLE TAG MANAGER

For reasons of transparency we would like to point out that we use the Google Tag Manager of the provider Google Ireland Limited (registration number: 368047), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. The Google Tag Manager itself does not collect any personal data. The Google Tag Manager makes it easier for us to integrate and manage our tags. Tags are small pieces of code that are used to measure traffic and visitor behavior, measure the impact of online advertising and social channels, set up remarketing and targeting, and test and optimize websites, among other things. We use the Tag Manager for the Google Analytics service. If you have deactivated the service, the Google Tag Manager will take this deactivation into account. For more information about the Google Tag Manager see: https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html.

A)    GOOGLE WEB FONTS (ONLINE VERSION)

For the uniform display of typefaces on our website we use web fonts from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”). When you visit our website, the necessary data is loaded into your browser cache to display text and fonts correctly. This requires a connection to the servers of Google and may involve the transmission of personal data, in particular the IP address, to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA. Google web fonts are transferred to the cache of your browser to avoid multiple loading. If your browser does not support web fonts or prevents access, a standard font from your computer will be used.

The legal basis for data processing is your consent, see Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a GDPR. If data is also transferred to Google LLC. based in the USA in this context, standard contractual clauses will be used.

More information about Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in the privacy policy of Google: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

CONTACT

When you contact us by e-mail or via our contact form, the data you provide (your e-mail address, your name and your telephone number, if applicable) will be stored by us in order to answer your questions and process your requests. The legal basis in this respect is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR. As far as we ask for input via our contact form that is not necessary for contacting you, we have always marked this as optional. This information serves us to concretize your inquiry and to improve the processing of your request. Any communication of this information is expressly on a voluntary basis and with your consent, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. If this information concerns communication channels (e.g. e-mail address, telephone number), you also agree that we may contact you via this communication channel in order to answer your request.

Your data, which we have received in the course of contacting you, will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose of its collection, your request is fully processed and no further communication with you is necessary or desired by you.

As the controller responsible for data protection, our company has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data processed via this website is protected as effectively as possible. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can always have security gaps. An absolute protection cannot be guaranteed, in any case the sending of unencrypted e-mails is not secure. We therefore request that sensitive data not be sent by means of unencrypted e-mail, but rather to use either encrypted communication channels (e.g. our contact form) or by mail.
