General information on data processing
We process personal data of our users only insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website as well as our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users takes place regularly only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is required by law.
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis.
For the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the person responsible is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.

If the personal data concerning you are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is associated with such direct marketing.
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR. The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and results of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Article 78 GDPR.

Provision of the website and creation of log files
Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer.
The following data is collected:
This data is stored in the log files of our system. A storage of this data together with other personal data of the user does not take place.
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the IP address of the user must remain stored for the duration of the session.
The storage in log files takes place to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.
These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.
If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Further storage is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. The user can object to this. Whether the objection is successful must be determined in the context of a balancing of interests.

This storage and access to the information in your terminal equipment serves to make it easier for you to use our website and to be able to offer you our services as requested by you. Some functions of our website also do not work without the use of these cookies and therefore could not be offered. The cookies are generally deleted after the end of the session (e.g. logging out or closing the browser) or after the expiry of a specified period.

We use the IP address and other information provided by the user (in particular postal code in the context of registration or ordering) for regional target group addressing (so-called “geotargeting”).

Part of the IP address and the additional information provided by the user (in particular postal code) are only read out and not stored separately.
You can prevent geotargeting by, for example, using a VPN or proxy server that prevents accurate localization. In addition, depending on the browser used, you can also deactivate location localization in the corresponding browser settings (insofar as the respective browser supports this).
We use geotargeting on our website for the following purposes:

Use of Google Analytics 1. Scope of processing of personal data
We use Google Analytics
, a web analysis service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA and the representative in the Union Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, D04 E5W5, Dublin, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as Google). Google Analytics examines, among other things, the origin of visitors, their length of stay on individual pages and the use of search engines and thus allows a better success control of advertising campaigns. Google places a cookie on your computer. As a result, personal data can be stored and evaluated, in particular the activity of the user (in particular which pages have been visited and which elements have been clicked on), device and browser information (in particular the IP address and the operating system), data about the advertisements displayed (in particular which advertisements were displayed and whether the user clicked on them) and also data from advertising partners (in particular pseudonymised User IDs).
We use Google Analytics (Universal Analytics) to evaluate your use of our online presence, to compile reports on your activities and to use other Google services related to the use of our online presence and the Internet.
We have requested the anonymization of IP addresses, whereby Google shortens your IP address as soon as technically possible. However, it cannot be ruled out that your data will be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC based in the USA.
On behalf of the operator of this online presence, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the online presence, to compile reports on the activities of the online presence and to provide other services related to the use of the online presence and the internet usage to the operator of the online presence.

Your personal data will also be transferred to the USA. For the USA, there is no adequacy decision pursuant to Article 45 (3) GDPR. We would like to point out that a transfer of data without an adequacy decision involves certain risks, about which we may inform you below:
US intelligence services use certain online identifiers (such as IP addresses or unique identification numbers) as a starting point for monitoring individuals. In particular, it cannot be ruled out that these messaging services have already collected information about you, with the help of which the data transmitted here can be traced back to you.
Providers of electronic communications services headquartered in the United States are subject to surveillance by U.S. intelligence services pursuant to 50 U.S. Code § 1881a (“FISA 702”). Accordingly, providers of electronic communications services headquartered in the United States have the obligation to provide personal data to the U.S. authorities pursuant to 50 U.S. Code § 1881a, without you having any legal remedies. Even encryption of the data in the data centres of the electronic communications service provider cannot provide adequate protection, since a provider of electronic communications services has a direct obligation to provide access to or surrender the imported data in its possession, custody or control. This obligation may also explicitly extend to cryptographic keys, without which the data cannot be read.
The fact that this is not merely a “theoretical danger” is shown by the judgment of the ECJ of 16 July 2020 (Case C 311/18, “Schrems-II”).
We have concluded guarantees with Google in the form of standard data protection clauses in accordance with Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR. A copy of the standard data protection clauses can be requested from us.
