4. Data collection on our website

Cookies

Some of our web pages use cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, efficient, 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 in your device’s memory until you delete them. These cookies make it possible to recognize your browser when you next visit the site.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept or reject a cookie. Alternatively, your browser can be configured to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or to always reject them, or to automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Cookies which are necessary to allow electronic communications or to provide certain functions you wish to use (such as the shopping cart) are stored pursuant to Art. 6 paragraph 1, letter f of DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies to ensure an optimized service provided free of technical errors. If other cookies (such as those used to analyze your surfing behavior) are also stored, they will be treated separately in this privacy policy.

Server log files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information that your browser automatically transmits to us in “server log files”. These are:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

These data will not be combined with data from other sources.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or for measures preliminary to a contract.

Contact form

Should you send us questions via the contact form, we will collect the data entered on the form, including the contact details you provide, to answer your question and any follow-up questions. We do not share this information without your permission.

We will, therefore, process any data you enter onto the contact form only with your consent per Art. 6 (1)(a) DSGVO. You may revoke your consent at any time. An informal email making this request is sufficient. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.

We will retain the data you provide on the contact form until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer pertains (e.g. after fulfilling your request). Any mandatory statutory provisions, especially those regarding mandatory data retention periods, remain unaffected by this provision.

Registration on this website

You can register on our website in order to access additional functions offered here. The input data will only be used for the purpose of using the respective site or service for which you have registered. The mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise, we will reject your registration.

To inform you about important changes such as those within the scope of our site or technical changes, we will use the email address specified during registration.

We will process the data provided during registration only based on your consent per Art. 6 (1)(a) DSGVO. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect. An informal email making this request is sufficient. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.

We will continue to store the data collected during registration for as long as you remain registered on our website. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Processing of data (customer and contract data)

We collect, process, and use personal data only insofar as it is necessary to establish, or modify legal relationships with us (master data). This is done based on Art. 6 (1) (b) DSGVO, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or for measures preliminary to a contract. We collect, process and use your personal data when accessing our website (usage data) only to the extent required to enable you to access our service or to bill you for the same.

Collected customer data shall be deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship. Legal retention periods remain unaffected.

Data transmitted when entering into a contract with online shops, retailers, and mail order

We transmit personally identifiable data to third parties only to the extent required to fulfill the terms of your contract, for example, to companies entrusted to deliver goods to your location or banks entrusted to process your payments. Your data will not be transmitted for any other purpose unless you have given your express permission to do so. Your data will not be disclosed to third parties for advertising purposes without your express consent.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) DSGVO, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or for measures preliminary to a contract.


5. Analytics and advertising

Matomo

We use the open-source software Matomo for the analysis and statistical evaluation of the usage of our website. For this purpose, cookies are employed. The information obtained about website usage is exclusively transmitted to our servers and consolidated into pseudonymous user profiles. We use the data to evaluate the website’s usage. There is no disclosure of the collected data to third parties.

IP addresses are anonymized (IP masking), preventing any attribution to individual users.

The data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, pursuing our legitimate interest in optimizing our website for external representation.

You can delete the cookies in your browser at any time and/or change your privacy settings.

We use the offer of Google Adwords to draw attention to our attractive offers using advertising (so-called Google Adwords) on external websites). We can determine the success of individual advertising campaign based on the advertising campaign data. With this, we pursue our interest of showing you advertising which is of interest to you, making our website more interesting for you and achieving a fair advertising costs ratio.

Google delivers these advertising materials via so-called “ad servers”. For this purpose, we use ad server cookies which can be used to measure specific key performance indicators such as ad display or user clicks. If you access our website via a Google ad, Google Adwords saves a cookie on your PC. These cookies generally cease to be valid after 30 days, and are aimed at identifying you personally. Usually, the unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (flag that the user does not want to be addressed any longer) are saved as analysis values for this cookie.

These cookies enable Google to recognise your browser. If a user visits specific pages on the website of an Adwords customer, and the cookie on his or her computer is not yet expired, Google and the customer can see that the user clicked on the ad and was forwarded to this page. A different cookie is assigned to each Adwords customer. Therefore, cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of Adwords customers. We do not ourselves collect or process personal data in the mentioned advertising campaigns. Google merely provides us with statistical analyses. Based on these analyses, we can identify which of the advertising campaigns used were particularly effective. We do not receive further data from the use of the advertising materials, and in particular we are unable to identify the users based on the information. Based on the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a connection with the Google server. We cannot influence the scope and further use of the data which are collected by Google because of using this tool, and are therefore informing you in accordance with our level of knowledge: Since Adwords conversion is integrated, google receives the information that you have accessed the relevant website page or have clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered for a Google service, Google can allocate your visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google, or are not logged in, it is possible for the provider to obtain and save your IP address.

You can prevent participation in this tracking process in different ways:

  • (1) in your browser software settings, especially by suppressing third-party cookies so that you do not receive ads from third-party providers;
  • (2) by disabling cookies for conversion tracking in your browser settings so that cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com” are blocked, https://www.google.de/settings/ads. However, this setting is deleted if you delete your cookies;
  • (3) by disabling interest-based ads by providers which are members of the self-regulating campaign “About ads”, via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices. However, this setting is deleted if you delete your cookies;
  • (4) through permanent disabling in your browsers Firefox, Internet Explorer and Google Chrome using the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. We would like to inform you that this might prevent you from enjoying all functions of this offer in full.

The legal basis for processing your data is Art. 6 (1) 1 lit. f GDPR.

6. Newsletter

Newsletter data

If you would like to receive our newsletter, we require a valid email address as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address and that you agree to receive this newsletter. No additional data is collected or is only collected on a voluntary basis. We only use this data to send the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

We will, therefore, process any data you enter onto the contact form only with your consent per Art. 6 (1) (a) DSGVO. You can revoke consent to the storage of your data and email address as well as their use for sending the newsletter at any time, e.g. through the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.

The data provided when registering for the newsletter will be used to distribute the newsletter until you cancel your subscription when said data will be deleted. Data we have stored for other purposes (e.g. email addresses for the members area) remain unaffected.

MailChimp

This website uses the services of MailChimp to send newsletters. This service is provided by Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

MailChimp is a service which organizes and analyzes the distribution of newsletters. If you provide data (e.g. your email address) to subscribe to our newsletter, it will be stored on MailChimp servers in the USA.

MailChimp is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield. The Privacy Shield is an agreement between the European Union (EU) and the US to ensure compliance with European privacy standards in the United States.

We use MailChimp to analyze our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent by MailChimp, a file included in the email (called a web beacon) connects to MailChimp’s servers in the United States. This allows us to determine if a newsletter message has been opened and which links you click on. In addition, technical information is collected (e.g. time of retrieval, IP address, browser type, and operating system). This information cannot be assigned to a specific recipient. It is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of our newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better tailor future newsletters to your interests.

If you do not want your usage of the newsletter to be analyzed by MailChimp, you will have to unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a link in every newsletter we send. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website.

Data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (a) DSGVO. You may revoke your consent at any time by unsubscribing to the newsletter. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.

The data provided when registering for the newsletter will be used to distribute the newsletter until you cancel your subscription when said data will be deleted from our servers and those of MailChimp. Data we have stored for other purposes (e.g. email addresses for the members area) remains unaffected.

For details, see the MailChimp privacy policy at https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/.
