If there is an obligation to provide us with your payment data (e.g., account number for direct debit authorization) after concluding a fee-based contract, this data will be required for payment processing.

Payment transactions via the common payment methods (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are processed exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser’s address bar changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.

3. DATA COLLECTION ON OUR WEBSITE

Cookies
Some of the internet pages use so-called cookies. Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer 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 after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser during your next visit.

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 specific cases or generally, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. When cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Cookies necessary to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions you have requested (e.g., shopping cart function) are stored based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g., cookies to analyze your browsing behavior) are stored, these are treated separately in this privacy policy.

Server Log Files
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

  • Browser type and 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 basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data to fulfill a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Contact Form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your information from 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 in the contact form is therefore based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal email notification to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out up until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Your data from the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions—especially retention periods—remain unaffected.

Registration on this Website
You can register on our website to use additional features offered on the site. The data entered for registration will only be used for the purpose of using the respective offer or service for which you have registered. The mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise, we will reject the registration.

In the event of important changes, such as in the scope of the offer or technically necessary changes, we will use the email address provided during registration to inform you.

The processing of the data entered during registration is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time. An informal email notification to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out before the revocation 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 then be deleted. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Processing of Data (Customer and Contract Data)
We collect, process, and use personal data only to the extent necessary to establish, structure, or modify the legal relationship (inventory data). This is done based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data to fulfill a contract or pre-contractual measures. We collect, process, and use personal data about the use of our internet pages (usage data) only to the extent necessary to enable the user to use the service or to bill the user.

The collected customer data will be deleted after the completion of the order or the termination of the business relationship. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Data Transmission upon Contract Conclusion for Online Shops, Merchants, and Goods Dispatch
We only transfer personal data to third parties if this is necessary in the context of contract processing, for example, to the companies entrusted with the delivery of the goods or the credit institution responsible for processing payments. Further data transmission does not take place or only if you have expressly agreed to the transmission. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent, for example for advertising purposes.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data to fulfill a contract or pre-contractual measures.

This site uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.

To do this, your browser must establish a connection to Google’s servers. As a result, Google becomes aware that our website was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our online offerings. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used.

Further information about Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

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

To use the features of Google Maps, it is necessary to save your IP address. This information is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transmission.

The use of Google Maps is in the interest of providing an attractive presentation of our online offers and making the locations indicated on the website easier to find. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (“Google”), based on our legitimate interest (i.e., interest in analyzing, optimizing, and the economic operation of our online offering as defined in Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the online offer by users is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

This means that Google truncates users’ IP addresses within EU member states or other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

The IP address transmitted by the user’s browser will not be merged with other Google data. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting their browser software accordingly.
