Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find their contact details in the legal notice section of this website.
How do we collect your data?
Your data is collected, on the one hand, when you provide it to us. This may include, for example, data that you enter into a contact form.
Other data is collected automatically by our IT systems when you visit the website. This consists primarily of technical data (e.g. internet browser, operating system or time of page view). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter our website.
What do we use your data for?
Some of the data is collected to ensure the website functions correctly. Other data may be used to analyse your user behaviour.
What rights do you have regarding your data?
You have the right at any time to obtain, free of charge, information about the source, recipients and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request the correction, restriction or erasure of this data. For this and any further questions regarding data protection, you can contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority.
When you visit our website, your browsing behaviour may be statistically analysed. This is primarily done using cookies and so-called analytics programmes. The analysis of your browsing behaviour is generally carried out anonymously; your browsing behaviour cannot be traced back to you. You may object to this analysis or prevent it by not using certain tools. You will find detailed information on this in the following privacy policy.
The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
When you use this website, various types of personal data are collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. It is not possible to completely protect data from access by third parties.
The controller responsible for data processing on this website can be found in the legal notice section of this website.
The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw any consent you have already given at any time. To do so, simply send us an informal email. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
In the event of breaches of data protection law, the data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority for data protection matters is the State Data Protection Commissioner of the federal state in which our company is based. A list of data protection commissioners and their contact details can be found via the following link: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract provided to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place to the extent that it is technically feasible.
This website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the website operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of your browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock symbol in your browser bar.
When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
In accordance with the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to receive information free of charge regarding your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, as well as the purpose of the data processing, and, where applicable, a right to rectification, restriction or erasure of this data. For this and any further questions regarding personal data, you may contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice.
We hereby object to the use of contact details published in accordance with the legal notice requirement for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information material. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of promotional information, for example via spam emails.
This website uses cookies in some instances. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our website 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 at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser on your next visit.
You can configure your browser so that you are notified when cookies are set and only allow cookies on a case-by-case basis, exclude the acceptance of cookies in specific cases or generally, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. If you disable cookies, the functionality of this website may be restricted.
Cookies that are necessary for the execution of the electronic communication process or for the provision of specific functions requested by you (e.g. the shopping basket function) are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically flawless and optimised provision of its services. Where other cookies (e.g. cookies for analysing your browsing behaviour) are stored, these are dealt with separately in this privacy policy.
The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
This data is not merged with other data sources.
The legal basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.
If you send us enquiries via the contact form, the details you provide in the form, including the contact details you enter there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your enquiry and in case of any follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
The processing of the data entered in the contact form is therefore based solely on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may withdraw this consent at any time. To do so, simply send us an informal email. The lawfulness of the data processing operations carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. once your enquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
We collect, process and use personal data only to the extent that it is necessary for the establishment, content or amendment of the legal relationship (master data). This is done on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures. We collect, process and use personal data relating to the use of our website (usage data) only to the extent necessary to enable the user to use the service or to bill for it.
The customer data collected will be deleted upon completion of the order or termination of the business relationship. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
We only transfer personal data to third parties where this is necessary for the performance of the contract, for example to companies entrusted with the delivery of the goods or to the bank responsible for payment processing. No further transfer of data takes place, or only if you have expressly consented to such transfer. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent, for example for advertising purposes.
