The hosting services we utilize serve to provide the following services: infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, security services, and technical maintenance services that we use for the purpose of operating the website.

In this context, we or our hosting provider process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, meta and communication data of customers, interested parties, and visitors of this website based on our legitimate interests in an efficient and secure provision of our website in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 f) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 28 GDPR.

access data

We process personal data necessary for fulfilling our contractual obligations, such as name, address, email address, ordered products, billing, and payment data. The collection of this data is required for the conclusion of the contract.

The data will be deleted after the expiration of warranty periods and statutory retention periods. Data linked to a user account (see below) will be retained as long as the account is maintained.

The legal basis for processing this data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 b) GDPR, as this data is needed for us to fulfill our contractual obligations to you.

You can create a user account on our website. If you wish to do so, we require the personal data requested during login. For subsequent logins, only your email or username and the password you have chosen are needed.

For new registrations, we collect master data (e.g., name, address), communication data (e.g., email address), payment data (bank details), and access data (username and password).

To ensure proper registration and to prevent unauthorized registrations by third parties, you will receive an activation link via email to activate your account after registration. Only after successful registration will we permanently store the data you have submitted in our system.

You can delete a user account at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic tariffs. A notification in text form to the contact details listed in section 1 (e.g., email, fax, letter) is sufficient. We will then delete your stored personal data, as long as we are not required to store it for processing orders or due to legal retention obligations.

The legal basis for processing this data is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 a) GDPR.

To sign up for the newsletter, the data requested during the registration process is required. The registration for the newsletter is logged. After registration, you will receive a message at the specified email address asking for confirmation of registration (“Double Opt-in”). This is necessary to prevent third parties from registering with your email address.

You can withdraw your consent to receive the newsletter at any time and thus unsubscribe from the newsletter.

We store the registration data as long as it is needed for sending the newsletter. The logging of registration and the email address will be stored as long as there is an interest in proving the originally given consent, usually the statute of limitations for civil claims, which is a maximum of three years.

The legal basis for sending the newsletter is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 a) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR and § 7 para. 2 no. 3 UWG. The legal basis for logging the registration is our legitimate interest in proving that the dispatch was made with your consent.

You can withdraw your registration at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic tariffs. A notification in text form to the contact details listed in section 1 (e.g., email, fax, letter) is sufficient. Each newsletter also contains an unsubscribe link.

If you contact us (e.g., via contact form or email), we process your details to handle the inquiry and in case follow-up questions arise.

If data processing is carried out to conduct pre-contractual measures that are based on your request, or if you are already our customer, to execute the contract, the legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 b) GDPR.

We only process further personal data if you consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 a) GDPR) or if we have a legitimate interest in processing your data (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 f) GDPR). A legitimate interest is, for example, to respond to your email.

The data controller has integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network. A social network is an online social meeting place, an online community that usually allows users to communicate with each other and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or enable the online community to provide personal or business-related information. Facebook allows users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos, and connect through friend requests.

The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. For individuals living outside the USA or Canada, the data controller responsible for processing personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website operated by the data controller is accessed, and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the internet browser on the IT system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. An overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be accessed at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. As part of this technical procedure, Facebook becomes aware of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is simultaneously logged into Facebook, Facebook recognizes with each visit to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits. This information is collected by the Facebook component and associated by Facebook with the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject activates one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example, the “Like” button, or leaves a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.

Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged into Facebook at the time of the visit to our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If such a transmission of this information to Facebook is not desired by the data subject, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their Facebook account before calling up our website. The data policy published by Facebook, which is available at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing, and use of personal data by Facebook. Furthermore, it explains the settings options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. Additionally, various applications are available that make it possible to suppress data transmission to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook.

The data controller has integrated the Google+ button as a component on this website. Google+ is a so-called social network. A social network is an online social meeting place, an online community that usually allows users to communicate with each other and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or enable the online community to provide personal or business-related information. Google+ allows users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos, and connect through friend requests.

The operating company of Google+ is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. Each time one of the individual pages of this website operated by the data controller is accessed, and on which a Google+ button has been integrated, the internet browser on the IT system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google+ button to download a representation of the corresponding Google+ button from Google. As part of this technical procedure, Google becomes aware of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject. More detailed information about Google+ can be accessed at https://developers.google.com/+/.

If the data subject is simultaneously logged into Google+, Google recognizes with each visit to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits. This information is collected by the Google+ button and associated by Google with the respective Google+ account of the data subject. If the data subject activates one of the Google+ buttons integrated on our website and thus gives a Google+1 recommendation, Google assigns this information to the personal Google+ user account of the data subject and stores this personal data. Google stores the Google+1 recommendation of the data subject and makes it publicly accessible in accordance with the terms accepted by the data subject in this regard. A Google+1 recommendation made by the data subject on this website will subsequently be stored and processed along with other personal data, such as the name of the Google+1 account used by the data subject and the photo stored in it, in other Google services, such as the search engine results of the Google search engine, the Google account of the data subject, or other places, such as on websites or in connection with advertisements.

Furthermore, Google is able to link the visit to this website with other personal data stored by Google. Google also records this personal information with the aim of improving or optimizing the various Google services. Google always receives information via the Google+ button that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged into Google+ at the time of the visit to our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Google+ button or not. If such a transmission of personal data to Google is not desired by the data subject, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their Google+ account before calling up our website. Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be accessed at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/. Further instructions from Google regarding the Google+1 button can be accessed at https://developers.google.com/+/web/buttons-policy.

The data controller has integrated Google AdWords on this website. Google AdWords is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads in both Google’s search engine results and the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to pre-define specific keywords through which an ad is displayed in Google’s search engine results only when the user retrieves a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed on topic-relevant web pages using an automated algorithm and taking into account the previously defined keywords.

The operating company of Google AdWords services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. The purpose of Google AdWords is to promote our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine and to display third-party advertising on our website. If a data subject reaches our website via a Google advertisement, a so-called conversion cookie is placed on the IT system of the data subject by Google. What cookies are has already been explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify the data subject. If the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion cookie is used to track whether certain subpages, such as the shopping cart from an online shop system, were called up on our website. Through the conversion cookie, both we and Google can track whether a data subject who came to our website via an AdWords ad generated a sale, i.e., completed or canceled a purchase. The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are used by us to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via AdWords ads, thus to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our company nor other advertisers of Google AdWords receive information from Google that could identify the data subject. Through the conversion cookie, personal information, such as the web pages visited by the data subject, is stored. Each time our web pages are visited, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may transfer these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already shown above, at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently oppose the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on the IT system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs. Furthermore, the data subject has the opportunity to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the internet browsers they use and make the desired settings there. Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be accessed at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
