According to Art. 4 (1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, i.e. the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as ‘GDPR’), ‘processing’ means any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
With the following privacy policy, we inform you in particular about the type, scope, purpose, duration and legal basis of the processing of personal data, insofar as we either alone or jointly with others decide on the purposes and means of processing.

In addition, the provider is obliged to inform all recipients to whom data has been disclosed by the provider of any correction or deletion of data or restriction of processing carried out on the basis of Articles 16, 17(1) and 18 GDPR. However, this obligation does not apply if this notification is impossible or involves disproportionate effort. Notwithstanding this, the user has a right to information about these recipients.
Likewise, users and data subjects have the right to object to the future processing of data concerning them, provided that the data is processed by the provider in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. In particular, an objection to data processing for direct marketing purposes is permissible.
III. Information on data processing
Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for which it was stored no longer applies, there are no legal obligations to retain the data and no other information on individual processing procedures is provided below.
Cookies
a) Session cookies
We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are stored on your device by the Internet browser you are using. These cookies process certain information about you, such as your browser or location data or your IP address, to a certain extent.
This processing makes our website more user-friendly, effective and secure, as it enables, for example, the reproduction of our website in different languages or the provision of a shopping basket function.
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit b.) GDPR, insofar as these cookies process data for the purpose of contract initiation or contract processing.
If the processing does not serve the purpose of contract initiation or contract processing, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
These session cookies are deleted when you close your internet browser.
b) Third-party cookies
Where applicable, our website also uses cookies from partner companies with whom we cooperate for the purposes of advertising, analysis or the functionality of our website.
For details on this, in particular on the purposes and legal basis for the processing of such third-party cookies, please refer to the following information.
c) Removal option
You can prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by adjusting your Internet browser settings. You can also delete cookies that have already been stored at any time. However, the steps and measures required for this depend on the Internet browser you are using. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your Internet browser or contact its manufacturer or support service. However, the processing of so-called Flash cookies cannot be prevented via the browser settings. Instead, you must change the settings of your Flash player. The steps and measures required for this also depend on the specific Flash player you are using. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your Flash player or contact the manufacturer or user support.
However, if you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, this may mean that not all functions of our website can be used to their full extent.
Customer account / registration function
If you create a customer account with us via our website, we will store the data you enter during registration (e.g. your name, address or email address) exclusively for pre-contractual services, for contract fulfilment or for customer care purposes (e.g. to provide you with an overview of your previous orders with us or to offer you the so-called memo function). At the same time, we will then store the IP address and the date and time of your registration. This data will not be passed on to third parties.
During the further registration process, your consent to this processing will be obtained and reference will be made to this privacy policy. The data collected by us in this process will be used exclusively for the provision of the customer account.
If you consent to this processing, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis for the processing.
If the opening of the customer account also serves pre-contractual measures or the fulfilment of the contract, the legal basis for this processing is also Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
You can revoke your consent to the opening and maintenance of the customer account at any time with future effect in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR. To do so, you only need to inform us of your revocation.
The data collected in this respect will be deleted as soon as processing is no longer necessary. However, we must observe tax and commercial law retention periods.

If you register for our free newsletter, the data requested from you for this purpose, i.e. your email address and, optionally, your name and address, will be transmitted to us. At the same time, we store the IP address of the Internet connection from which you access our website, as well as the date and time of your registration. As part of the further registration process, we will obtain your consent to send you the newsletter, describe its content in detail and refer you to this privacy policy.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.
You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time with future effect in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR. To do so, simply inform us of your revocation or click on the unsubscribe link included in every newsletter.
We maintain a company presence on the Facebook platform to promote our products and services and to communicate with interested parties and customers.
On this social media platform, we are jointly responsible with Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2 Ireland.
Facebook’s data protection officer can be contacted via a contact form:
https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/540977946302970
We have regulated our joint responsibility in an agreement regarding the respective obligations within the meaning of the GDPR. This agreement, which sets out the mutual obligations, is available at the following link:
https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum
The legal basis for the resulting and subsequent processing of personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, communication, sale and promotion of our products and services.
The legal basis may also be the user’s consent to the platform operator in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The user can revoke this consent at any time for the future by notifying the platform operator in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR.
When you visit our online presence on the Facebook platform, Facebook Ireland Ltd., as the platform operator in the EU, processes user data (e.g. personal information, IP address, etc.).
This user data is used for statistical information about the use of our company presence on Facebook.
Facebook Ireland Ltd. uses this data for market research and advertising purposes and to create user profiles. These profiles enable Facebook Ireland Ltd. to display interest-based advertising to users both within and outside of Facebook. If the user is logged into their Facebook account at the time of accessing the website, Facebook Ireland Ltd. can also link the data to the respective user account.
If the user contacts us via Facebook, the personal data entered by the user on this occasion will be used to process the enquiry. The user’s data will be deleted by us if the user’s enquiry has been answered completely and there are no legal obligations to retain the data, such as in the case of subsequent contract processing.
Facebook Ireland Ltd. may also set cookies to process the data.
If the user does not agree to this processing, it is possible to prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting the browser settings accordingly. Cookies that have already been stored can also be deleted at any time. The settings for this depend on the respective browser. Flash cookies cannot be prevented via the browser settings, but by adjusting the Flash Player settings accordingly. If the user prevents or restricts the installation of cookies, this may mean that not all functions of Facebook can be used to their full extent.
Further information on the processing activities, how to prevent them and how to delete the data processed by Facebook can be found in Facebook’s data policy:
https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation
It cannot be ruled out that processing by Facebook Ireland Ltd. may also take place via Facebook Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, California 94025 in the USA.

Social media links via graphics or text links
We also advertise our presence on the social networks listed below on our website. This is done via a linked graphic of the respective network. The use of this linked graphic prevents a connection from being established to the respective server of the social network when a website with a social media advertisement is accessed in order to display a graphic of the respective network itself. Only when the user clicks on the corresponding graphic will they be redirected to the service of the respective social network.
After the user is redirected, information about the user is collected by the respective network. It cannot be ruled out that the data collected in this way may be processed in the USA.
This initially includes data such as the IP address, date, time and page visited. If the user is logged into their user account on the respective network during this time, the network operator may be able to assign the information collected about the user’s specific visit to the user’s personal account. If the user interacts via a ‘share’ button of the respective network, this information may be stored in the user’s personal user account and published if necessary. If the user wishes to prevent the collected information from being directly assigned to their user account, they must log out before clicking on the graphic. It is also possible to configure the respective user account accordingly.
The following social networks are integrated into our site via links:
Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland, a subsidiary of Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave., Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA.

Facebook social plug-in
We use the plug-in of the social network Facebook on our website. Facebook is an Internet service provided by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. In the EU, this service is operated by Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland, hereinafter both referred to as ‘Facebook’.

https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active
Facebook guarantees that the EU’s data protection requirements are also complied with when processing data in the USA.
The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website.
Further information about the available plug-ins and their respective functions is available from Facebook at
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/
.
If the plug-in is stored on one of the pages of our website that you visit, your internet browser downloads a representation of the plug-in from Facebook’s servers in the USA. For technical reasons, it is necessary for Facebook to process your IP address. In addition, the date and time of your visit to our website are also recorded.
If you are logged into Facebook while visiting one of our websites equipped with the plug-in, the information collected by the plug-in about your specific visit will be recognised by Facebook. Facebook may assign the information collected in this way to your personal user account there. If, for example, you use the Facebook ‘Like’ button, this information will be stored in your Facebook user account and may be published via the Facebook platform. If you wish to prevent this, you must either log out of Facebook before visiting our website or use an add-on for your Internet browser to prevent the Facebook plug-in from being loaded.

https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active
Google guarantees that the EU’s data protection requirements are also met when data is processed in the USA.
The Google Analytics service is used to analyse the usage behaviour of our website. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our website.
Usage and user-related information, such as IP address, location, time or frequency of visits to our website, is transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, we use Google Analytics with the so-called anonymisation function. This function shortens the IP address within the EU or the EEA.
The data collected in this way is used by Google to provide us with an evaluation of the visit to our website and the activities carried out there. This data may also be used to provide further services related to the use of our website and the Internet.
Google states that it does not link your IP address to other data. In addition, Google provides further information on data protection at
https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners,
including information on how to prevent data use.
Google also offers
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
a so-called deactivation add-on along with further information on this. This add-on can be installed with all common Internet browsers and offers you further control over the data that Google collects when you visit our website. The add-on informs Google Analytics‘ JavaScript (ga.js) that information about your visit to our website should not be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analytics services. You can also find out whether and which other web analytics services we use in this privacy policy.
