2) Data collection when visiting our website

2.1 When you use our website purely for information purposes – that is, if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information – we only collect data that your browser transmits to the website server (so-called ‘server log files’). When you visit our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display the website to you:

Processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data will not be disclosed or used for any other purpose. However, we reserve the right to review the server log files retrospectively should there be concrete indications of unlawful use.

2.2 For security reasons and to protect the transmission of personal data and other confidential content (e.g. orders or enquiries to the data controller), this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the string ‘https://’ and the padlock icon in your browser address bar.

3) Hosting & Content Delivery Network

All data collected on our website is processed on these servers.
We have entered into a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our website visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.

4) Cookies

To make your visit to our website more user-friendly and to enable the use of certain functions, we use cookies – small text files that are stored on your device. Some of these cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser (so-called ‘session cookies’), whilst others remain on your device for longer and enable page settings to be saved (so-called ‘persistent cookies’). In the latter case, you can find the storage period in the overview of your web browser’s cookie settings.

Where individual cookies used by us also involve the processing of personal data, such processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR either for the performance of a contract, in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR where consent has been given, or in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in ensuring the best possible functionality of the website and a user-friendly and effective experience for visitors.

You can configure your browser so that you are notified when cookies are set and can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept them, or you can block the acceptance of cookies in specific cases or generally.

Please note that if you do not accept cookies, the functionality of our website may be restricted.

5) Contacting us

Personal data is collected whenever you contact us (e.g. via the contact form or by email). The specific data collected when using a contact form is set out in the relevant contact form. This data is stored and used solely for the purpose of responding to your enquiry or for establishing contact and the associated technical administration.

The legal basis for the processing of this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your enquiry in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. If your enquiry is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. Your data will be deleted once your enquiry has been fully processed. This is the case when it is clear from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively resolved and provided that there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary.

6) Use of customer data for direct marketing

Sending the email newsletter to existing customers

If you have provided us with your email address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to send you regular offers by email for goods or services from our range that are similar to those you have already purchased. In accordance with Section 7(3) of the German Unfair Competition Act (UWG), we are not required to obtain your separate consent for this. Data processing in this regard is carried out solely on the basis of our legitimate interest in personalised direct marketing in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If you have initially and explicitly 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 marketing purposes at any time, with effect for the future, by notifying the data controller named at the beginning of this notice. You will only incur transmission costs in accordance with standard rates. Upon receipt of your objection, the use of your email address for marketing purposes will be discontinued immediately.

7) Web analytics services

7.1   1&1 IONOS WebAnalytics
This website uses the web analytics service provided by the following provider: 1&1 IONOS Internet SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany

Using cookies and/or similar technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, algorithms for reading device and browser information), the service collects and stores pseudonymised visitor data, including information about the device used, such as the IP address and browser information, in order to analyse usage behaviour on our website for statistical purposes and to create pseudonymised user profiles. Among other things, this enables the analysis of movement patterns (so-called heatmaps), which show the duration of page visits and interactions with page content (e.g. text entries, scrolling, clicks and mouse-overs). Pseudonymisation fundamentally precludes any direct link to an individual. No merging takes place with personally identifiable data collected by other means.

All the processing operations described above, in particular the retrieval or storage of information on the device you are using, will only be carried out if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time with future effect by deactivating this service via the ‘Cookie Consent Tool’ provided on the website.

We have entered into a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our website visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.

7.2 Google Tag Manager

This website uses ‘Google Tag Manager’, a service provided by the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter: ‘Google’).

Google Tag Manager provides a technical framework for bundling various web applications, including tracking and analytics services, and for calibrating, controlling and conditioning them via a unified user interface. Google Tag Manager itself does not store any information on users’ devices or read such information. Nor does the service carry out any independent data analysis. However, when you visit a page, Google Tag Manager transmits your IP address to Google, where it may be stored. Transmission to servers operated by Google LLC in the USA is also possible.

This processing will only take place if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. Without this consent, Google Tag Manager will not be used during your visit to the website. You may withdraw your consent at any time with future effect. To exercise your right to withdraw consent, please deactivate this service using the ‘Cookie Consent Tool’ provided on the website.

We have entered into a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our website visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.

For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which, on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission, ensures compliance with European data protection standards.

Further legal information on Google Tag Manager can be found at https://business.safety.google/intl/de/privacy/ and https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de

8) Website features

8.1 Google Maps

This website uses an online map service provided by the following provider: Google Maps (API) by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).

Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (map) images to present geographical information visually. By using this service, our location is displayed to you, making it easier for you to find your way here.

As soon as you access any subpages on which the Google Maps map is embedded, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google’s servers and stored there; this may also involve transmission to the servers of Google LLC in the USA. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether a user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not wish your data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out before clicking the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and analyses them.

The collection, storage and analysis of data are carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR on the basis of Google’s legitimate interest in displaying personalised advertising, conducting market research and/or tailoring Google websites to users’ needs. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles; to exercise this right, you must contact Google. If you do not consent to your data being transferred to Google in future when using Google Maps, you also have the option of completely disabling the Google Maps web service by disabling JavaScript in your browser. Google Maps, and therefore the map display on this website, will then no longer be available for use.

Where legally required, we have obtained your consent to the processing of your data as described above in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right to withdraw consent, please follow the procedure for lodging an objection as described above.

For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which, on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission, ensures compliance with European data protection standards.

Further information on Google’s data protection policy can be found here: https://business.safety.google/intl/de/privacy/

8.2 Google reCAPTCHA

On this website, we use the CAPTCHA service provided by the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland

Data may also be transferred to: Google LLC, USA.

‘Google Fonts’ – fonts downloaded from the internet by Google – are used for the visual design of the CAPTCHA window. No information other than that mentioned above, which is already transmitted to Google via the reCAPTCHA functionality, is processed in this context.

The service checks whether an input is made by a natural person or, abusively, through machine-based and automated processing, and blocks spam, DDoS attacks and similar automated malicious access attempts. To ensure that an action is carried out by a human and not by an automated bot, the provider collects the IP address of the end device used, identification data relating to the browser and operating system type used, as well as the date and duration of the visit, and transmits this data to the provider’s servers for analysis. Cookies may be used for this purpose; these are small text files stored in the end device’s browser.

Where the processing described above is carried out using cookies, these will only be set if you have given us your explicit consent to do so in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time with future effect by deactivating this service via the ‘Cookie Consent Tool’ provided on the website.

If the processing described above is carried out without the use of cookies, the legal basis is our legitimate interest in establishing individual responsibility on the internet and in preventing misuse and spam in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

We have entered into a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our website visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.

For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which, on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission, ensures compliance with European data protection standards.

9) Other tools and services

Cookie-Consent-Tool

This website uses a so-called ‘cookie consent tool’ to obtain valid user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The ‘cookie consent tool’ is displayed to users when they visit the page in the form of an interactive user interface, on which they can give their consent to specific cookies and/or cookie-based applications by ticking the relevant boxes. Through the use of this tool, all cookies and services requiring consent are only loaded once the relevant user has given their consent by ticking the appropriate boxes. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the user’s device once consent has been given.

The tool sets technically necessary cookies to store your cookie preferences. Personal user data is not processed in this process.
 
If, in individual cases, the storage, assigning or logging cookie settings does result in the processing of personal data (such as the IP address), this is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for cookies and, consequently, in the legally compliant design of our website.

A further legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. As the data controller, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically non-essential cookies conditional upon the user’s consent.

Where necessary, we have entered into a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our website visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.

Further information on the operator and the settings options for the cookie consent tool can be found directly in the relevant user interface on our website.

11) Duration of storage of personal data

The duration for which personal data is stored is determined by the relevant legal basis, the purpose of processing and – where applicable – additionally by the relevant statutory retention period (e.g. retention periods under commercial and tax law).

Where personal data is processed on the basis of explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, the data in question will be retained until you withdraw your consent.

Where statutory retention periods apply to data processed in the context of contractual or quasi-contractual obligations on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, such data will be routinely deleted upon expiry of the retention periods, provided that it is no longer required for the performance of a contract or for entering into a contract and/or we no longer have a legitimate interest in continuing to store it.

When personal data is processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, this data will be stored until you exercise your right to object under Article 21(1) of the GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Where personal data is processed for the purposes of direct marketing on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, this data will be stored until you exercise your right to object under Article 21(2) of the GDPR.

Unless otherwise specified in the other information contained in this statement regarding specific processing situations, stored personal data will otherwise be erased when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
