4. DATA COLLECTION ON OUR WEBSITE

Cookies

The websites partly use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies are used to make our offerings 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 on your next visit. You can configure your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website. Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process or for providing certain functions you request (e.g., shopping cart functionality) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to provide its services in a technically error-free and optimized manner. To the extent that other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your browsing behavior) are stored, these are addressed separately in this privacy policy.

server log files

The provider of the websites 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 accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

These data are not merged with other data sources.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or pre-contractual measures.

contact form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, the information you provide in the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent. The processing of the data entered into the contact form is therefore carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. A simple notification by e-mail to us is sufficient. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the point of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request their deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions—particularly retention periods—remain unaffected.

registration on this website

You can register on our website to use additional features on the site. The data you provide for this purpose will be used only to enable the use of the specific offer or service for which you registered. The mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise, we will reject the registration. For important changes, such as changes to the scope of the offer or technically necessary modifications, we use the e-mail address provided during registration to inform you. The processing of the data entered during registration is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time. A simple notification by e-mail to us is sufficient. The lawfulness of data processing that has already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation. The data collected during registration will be stored by us as long as you are registered on our website and will be deleted afterwards. Legal retention periods remain unaffected.

processing of data (customer and contract data)

We collect, process, and use personal data only to the extent necessary for establishing, designing, or changing the legal relationship (master data). This is done on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures. Personal data regarding the use of our websites (usage data) is collected, processed, and used only to the extent necessary to enable the user to use the service or for billing purposes.

The collected customer data is deleted after the completion of the order or the termination of the business relationship. Legal retention periods remain unaffected.

Data transfer upon conclusion of a contract for online shops, merchants, and shipping
We transmit personal data to third parties only if this is necessary for contract processing, for example to companies responsible for delivering the goods or the bank handling the payment processing. Further transmission of the data does not take place, or only occurs if you have expressly consented to the transfer. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent, for example for advertising purposes.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

5. Analytics Tools and Advertising

Google Analytics

This website uses functions 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 allow an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The storage of Google Analytics cookies is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its web offerings and its advertising.

IP anonymization

We have enabled the IP anonymization feature on this website. As a result, your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened 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 merged with other data from Google.

browser plugin

You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting the settings of your browser software; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website fully. In addition, you can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

objection to data collection

data processing on behalf of a controller

We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

demographic features in Google Analytics

This website uses the “demographic features” function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be generated that provide information about the age, gender, and interests of website visitors. These data come from interest-based advertising by Google as well as from visitor data from third parties. These data cannot be attributed to any specific person. You can disable this feature at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described in the section “Objection to Data Collection.”

6. Plugins and Tools

Google Maps

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

To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no control over this data transmission.

The use of Google Maps is carried out in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offerings and the easy findability of the locations we indicate on the website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
