Legal basis
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR (in conjunction with § 25 para. 1 TDDDG) serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purposeIf the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for an order and delivery of goods or for other services, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or servicesIf our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail.
Transmission of data to third parties
Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below. We only pass on your personal data to third parties if you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR, if the disclosure is permitted in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR to protect our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data, in the event that there is a legal obligation to disclose your data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR, as well as this is legally permissible and necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. As part of the processing operations described in this privacy policy, personal data may be transferred to the USA. Companies in the USA only have an adequate level of data protection if they have certified themselves under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and thus the adequacy decision of the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR applies. We have explicitly stated this for the service providers concerned in the privacy policy. In order to protect your data in all other cases, we have concluded data processing agreements based on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate level of security, your consent may serve as the legal basis for the transfer to third countries in accordance with Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. This may not apply in the case of data transfer to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR.
Technology
SL/TLS encryption This site uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as contact requests that you send to us as the operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the "https://" instead of "http://" in the address line of the browser and by the lock symbol in your browser line. We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.
Data collection when visiting the website
If you only use our website for information purposes, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect the data that your browser transmits to our server (in so-called "server log files"). Our website collects a range of general data and information each time you or an automated system accesses a page. This general data and information is stored in the server log files.
- The following can be recorded
- browser types and versions used,
- the operating system used by the accessing system,
- the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer),
- the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website,
- the date and time of access to the website,
- a shortened Internet Protocol address (anonymized IP address),
- the Internet service provider of the accessing system.
When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about your person. Rather, this information is required to
- to deliver the content of our website correctly,
- optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it,
- to ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and
- to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber-attack.
This collected data and information is therefore evaluated by us both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject. The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 Para. I S. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes for data collection listed above.
Encrypted payment transactions
If there is an obligation to provide us with your payment data (e.g. the account number when issuing a direct debit authorization) after the conclusion of a fee-based contract, this data is required for payment processing. Payment transactions via the usual means of payment are made exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line. We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.
Cloudflare (Content Delivery Network)
Our website uses functions of CloudFlare. The provider is CloudFlare, Inc. 665 3rd St. #200, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. CloudFlare offers a globally distributed content delivery network with DNS. Technically, the transfer of information between your browser and our website is routed via the CloudFlare network. CloudFlare is therefore able to analyze the data traffic between users and our websites in order to detect and ward off attacks on our services, for example. CloudFlare may also store cookies on your computer for optimization and analysis purposes. You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted. We have concluded a corresponding agreement with Cloudflare on the basis of the GDPR for order processing or in accordance with EU standard contractual clauses. Cloudflare collects statistical data about visits to this website. The access data includes: Name of the website accessed, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user's operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider. Cloudflare uses the log data for statistical evaluations for the purpose of operation, security and optimization of the offer. If you have consented to Cloudflare being used, the legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. We also have a legitimate interest in using Cloudflare to optimize our online offering and make it more secure. The corresponding legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. The personal data is stored for as long as it is required to fulfill the purpose of processing. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose. This US company is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This constitutes an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, meaning that personal data may be transferred without further guarantees or additional measures.

The personal data you enter is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by us and for our own purposes.

This data is stored against the background that this is the only way to prevent misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable criminal offenses to be investigated. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary for our security. This data is not passed on to third parties. This does not apply if we are legally obliged to pass it on or if it serves the purpose of criminal prosecution. Your registration, with the voluntary provision of personal data, also enables us to offer you content or services which, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from our database. We will provide you with information about which personal data about you is stored at any time on request. We will also correct or delete personal data at your request, provided that this does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations.

Newsletter mailing
a) Sending newsletters to existing customersIf you have provided us with your e-mail address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for similar goods or services to those already purchased from our range by e-mail. In accordance with Section 7 (3) UWG, we do not need to obtain separate consent from you for this. In this respect, data processing is carried out solely on the basis of our legitimate interest in personalized direct advertising in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. If you have initially objected to the use of your email address for this purpose, we will not send you any emails. You are entitled to object to the use of your email address for the aforementioned advertising purpose at any time with effect for the future by sending a message to the controller named at the beginning. You will only incur transmission costs for this in accordance with the basic rates. Upon receipt of your objection, the use of your e-mail address for advertising purposes will be discontinued immediately
b) Advertising newsletter
On our website, you are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company's newsletter. Which personal data is transmitted to us when you subscribe to the newsletter can be seen from the input mask used for this purpose.We inform our customers and business partners about our offers at regular intervals by means of a newsletter. You can only receive our company's newsletter if you have a valid e-mail address and have registered to receive the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address you entered for the first time for the newsletter mailing using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to check whether you, as the owner of the e-mail address, have authorized the receipt of the newsletter. When you register for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by your Internet service provider (ISP) to the IT system you are using at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of your e-mail address at a later date and therefore serves our legal protection. The personal data collected when registering for the newsletter is used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in this regard, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes to the technical circumstances. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. You can cancel your subscription to our newsletter at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that you have given us for sending the newsletter can be revoked at any time.

The legal basis for sending the newsletter is your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.
c) Newslettertracking
Our newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in emails that are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns to be carried out. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, the company can recognize whether and when an e-mail was opened by you and which links in the e-mail were called up by you. Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by us in order to optimize the newsletter dispatch and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to your interests. This personal data is not passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent given in this regard via the double opt-in procedure. After revocation, this personal data will be deleted by us. Unsubscribing from the newsletter is automatically interpreted as a revocation. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interests in the display of personalized advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of our website.
Social networks
So that we can also communicate with you on social networks and inform you about our services, we have our own pages there. If you visit one of our social media pages, we are jointly responsible with the provider of the respective social media platform for the processing operations triggered by this, within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR. We are not the original provider of these pages, but only use them within the scope of the possibilities offered to us by the respective providers. As a precaution, we would therefore like to point out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Use may therefore be associated with data protection risks for you, as it may be more difficult to safeguard your rights, e.g. to information, deletion, objection, etc., and processing in social networks is often carried out directly for advertising purposes or for the analysis of user behavior by the providers without us being able to influence this. If user profiles are created by the provider, cookies are often used or the user behavior is assigned to your own social network member profile. The described processing operations of personal data are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest and the legitimate interest of the respective provider in order to communicate with you in a timely manner or to inform you about our services. If you have to give your consent to data processing as a user with the respective providers, the legal basis refers to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR. Art. 7 GDPR. As we do not have access to the providers' databases, we would like to point out that it is best to assert your rights (e.g. to information, correction, deletion, etc.) directly with the respective provider. Further information on the processing of your data in the social networks is provided below by the respective social network provider we use:

PayPal
We have integrated PayPal components on this website. The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg. PayPal is an online payment service provider. Payments are processed via so-called PayPal accounts, which are virtual private or business accounts. PayPal also offers the option of processing virtual payments via credit cards if a user does not have a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed via an e-mail address, which is why there is no classic account number. PayPal makes it possible to initiate online payments to third parties or to receive payments. PayPal also acts as a trustee and offers buyer protection services.
