III.  Purposes and Legal Basis for Data Processing

1. Inquiry via Email or Phone

If you contact us via email or phone, your inquiry, including any resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed for the purpose of handling your request. We will not disclose this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Article 6 section 1 page 1 b) of the GDPR if your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively processing the inquiries addressed to us (Article 6 section 1 page 1 f) of the GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6 section 1 page 1 a) of the GDPR) if requested.

The data sent to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage ceases to exist (e.g., after completing the processing of your request). Mandatory legal provisions, particularly statutory retention periods, remain unaffected.

2. Access and Visit to Our Webiste – Server Log Files

For the purpose of providing the website’s technical functionality, it is necessary for us to process certain information automatically transmitted by your browser, so that our website can be displayed in your browser and you can use the website. This information is automatically collected and stored in server log files each time you access our website. They include:

• Browser type and version
• Operating system used
• Website from which access is made (referrer URL)
• Hostname of the accessing computer
• Date and time of access
• IP address of the requesting computer

The storage of the aforementioned access data is necessary for the provision of a functional website and to ensure system security for technical reasons. This also applies to the storage of your IP address, which is necessarily performed and, under certain conditions, can theoretically allow for identification of your person. In addition to the aforementioned purposes, we use server log files exclusively for the demand-oriented design and optimization of our website, purely statistically and without any inference to your person. There is no merging of this data with other data sources, and no evaluation of the data for marketing purposes takes place.

The access data collected during the use of our website will only be retained for the period required to achieve the aforementioned purposes. Your IP address will be stored on our web server for a maximum of 7 days for IT security purposes.

If you visit our website to obtain information about our product and service offerings or to use them, the legal basis for the temporary storage and processing of access data is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, which allows for the processing of data for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. Furthermore, Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for the temporary storage of technical access data. Our legitimate interest in this case is to provide you with a technically functioning and user-friendly website, as well as to ensure the security of our systems.

3.  Newsletter

      If you have expressly consented according to Article 6 section 1 page 1 a) of the GDPR, we will use your email address to send you our newsletter on an occasional and/or regular basis. If the contents of the newsletter are specifically described during the registration for receiving the newsletter, these details are decisive for the user’s consent. In addition, our newsletters contain information about our services, offers, and promotions. Providing a valid email address is sufficient for receiving the newsletter. If further information is requested, providing such information is always voluntary.

      For newsletter registration, we use the double opt-in procedure, which means that we will only send you a newsletter by email after you have explicitly confirmed that we should activate the newsletter service. To do this, we will send you a notification email and ask you to confirm that you wish to receive our newsletter by personally responding from your registered email address or by clicking on a link contained in that email.

By subscribing to the newsletter, we store your IP address and the date of registration. This storage serves as evidence of your registration for our newsletter. Likewise, changes to the data stored with the shipping service provider are logged.

The data processing is based on your consent (Article 6 section 1 page 1 a) of the GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of the data processing that has already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation. You can unsubscribe via a link in the newsletter itself or by notifying us through the contact options provided above.

We use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain any viruses. They serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective, and secure, and to enable the provision of certain functions. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer by your browser. A cookie contains a unique string of characters that allows your browser to be identified when you revisit the website.

Most of the cookies we use are called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted after your visit or when you close your browser (so-called transient cookies). Other cookies remain stored on your device for a specified period or until you delete them (so-called persistent cookies). These cookies allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit. Upon written request, we are happy to provide further information about the functional cookies used. Please contact the above-mentioned contact details.

Some of the cookies we use on our website are provided by third parties who help us analyze the effectiveness of our website content and the interests of our visitors, measure the performance of our website, or display customized advertisements and other content on our or other websites. Within our website, we use both first-party cookies (visible only from the domain being visited) and third-party cookies (visible across domains and regularly set by third parties).

The cookie-based data processing is based on your provided consent according to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR (legal basis) or based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (legal basis) to safeguard our legitimate interests.

Specifically, the following cookie-based tools/plugins are used on this website:

1. Google Analytics

Based on your consent provided to us (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR), this website uses the functions of Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. You can voluntarily grant us your consent by clicking on the corresponding button in the cookie banner when you visit our website. As part of the described processing activities, data is regularly transmitted to Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). Google Ireland Limited and Google LLC are jointly referred to as “Google” hereinafter. Google Analytics uses cookies (first-party cookies) that enable an analysis of your use of the website. However, this does not mean that we directly obtain knowledge of your identity. Google uses the information generated by the cookies on our behalf to evaluate the use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide us with further services related to website and internet usage. This allows us to improve the quality of our website and its content. Based on statistical analyses, we gain insights into how the website is used and can continuously optimize our offering.

The information generated by the Google Analytics cookies regarding your use of this website (e.g., time, location, and frequency of your website visits, including IP address) is transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. We have set the storage duration for this data at the user and event level to 14 months at the shortest possible option within Google’s storage settings.

IP Anonymization

We have activated the IP anonymization feature on this website. As a result, your IP address is shortened and anonymized by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. According to Google’s own statements, the IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google to personally identify you.

Browser Plugin

You can prevent the storage of Google Analytics cookies by adjusting the settings of your browser software (as mentioned above). Furthermore, you can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Objection to Data Collection

Alternatively, you can enable/disable the collection of your data by Google Analytics, particularly on mobile devices, by clicking on the following link: Google Analytics Opt-out

1. Google Ads and Google Ads Conversion Tracking

This website uses Google Ads, an online advertising program provided by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

As part of Google Ads, we use a feature called Conversion Tracking. When you click on an advertisement provided by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that are stored by the internet browser on the user’s computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page.

Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked across websites of Google Ads customers. The information obtained through the use of conversion cookies is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The customers receive the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that allows for the personal identification of users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can opt out of this use by easily disabling the Google Conversion Tracking cookie in your internet browser settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

The storage of “conversion cookies” and the use of this tracking tool are based on Article 6 section 1 page 1 f) of the GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both our website and our advertising. If you have given your consent (e.g., consent to the storage of cookies), the processing will be based exclusively on Article 6 section 1 page 1 a) of the GDPR, and consent can be revoked at any time.

For more information about Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking, please refer to Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

You can configure your browser to notify you about the setting of cookies, allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases, or enable automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

1. YouTube

Our website uses plugins from the YouTube video platform to embed and play videos directly on our website. The video platform is operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA (“YouTube”). YouTube is a subsidiary of Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”).

The embedding of YouTube videos is done in the “extended data protection mode,” which, according to the provider, only initiates the storage of user information upon playback of the video(s). However, the extended data protection mode does not necessarily exclude the transmission of data to YouTube partners. For example, regardless of whether you watch a video, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network.

When you activate embedded videos on our website, a connection is established with YouTube servers and data transmission is initiated. We have no control over the scope and content of the data transmitted to YouTube and potentially other YouTube partners when the plugin is activated. Among other things, this information is used by YouTube to record video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent abusive actions. YouTube uses cookies to collect information about user behavior. These cookies remain on your device until you delete them. You can prevent YouTube from storing cookies by adjusting your browser settings (as mentioned above).

If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to directly associate your browsing behavior with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account before activating the play button.

The use of YouTube is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

For more information on how YouTube handles user data, please refer to the YouTube privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data and ensure an adequate level of data security, in order to safeguard the rights and privacy of individuals.

In particular, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the inquiries you send to us as the website operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the address line of your browser from “http://” to “https://” and the lock symbol in your browser line. When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. However, we would like to point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g., communication by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible in such cases.

IX. Your Rights as Data Subject
