Personal data means all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. A natural person is considered as identifiable if they can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by association with an identifier, such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one or more special features that are the expression of the physical , physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of this natural person.
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing of personal data, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (a) EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Insofar as processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. This also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual actions.
Insofar as processing of personal data is required to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR.
If processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail over these former interests, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR is the legal basis for processing.
The legal bases for special data collection procedures will be referred to again below, as far as applicable.
To protect your personal data, we have taken technical and organisational measures to ensure that your data is protected against accidental or intentional loss, destruction or manipulation, as well as access by unauthorised persons. Our protective measures are reviewed at regular intervals and adjusted as necessary to technical progress.
The log files contain IP addresses or other data that allow assignment to a user. This could be the case, for example, for the link to the website from which the user accesses the website or the link to the website to which the user is switching. The data is also stored in the log files of our system. Storage of this data together with other personal data of the user does not take place.
Our legitimate interest in the processing of data according to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR also lies herein.
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose of its collection. Insofar as the data is collected for providing the website,it is deleted when the respective session is completed. In the case of storage of data in log files, it is deleted after no more than seven days. Further storage is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated, so that an assignment of the accessing client is no longer possible.
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. There is consequently no possibility on the part of the user to object to its collection.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
As part of the registration process, the user consents to the processing and storage of this data.
The legal basis for the processing of the registration data in the presence of the consent of the user is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Insofar as the registration serves the fulfilment of a contract of which the user is the contracting party or is required for implementation of precontractual measures, an additional legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
Deletion of the registration data and the customer account created by the registration takes place on request by the user, which can be initiated by e-mail, fax or telephone.
We process the data provided by the user for processing the order of the user. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
To prevent unauthorised access by third parties to the personal data of the user, both the transmission of the above registration and the transmission of the order process occurs encrypted form.
Insofar as the storage of registration data and order data is required to fulfil a contract or to carry out precontractual and contractual measures, premature deletion of the data is only possible insofar as there are no contractual or legal obligations to prevent deletion. We point out in this respect that we are obliged to store your address, payment and order data for a period of 10 years due to the statutory provisions of commercial and tax law. However, after 2 years, we impose a restriction on the storage and processing of such data, which is not required to monitor the monitoring of warranty obligations and documentation of license rights required by the contract. The data stored about you can be modified or corrected at any time.
To protect our input forms in our online shop and in the contact area, we use “reCAPTCHA” from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereafter referred to as Google. Through the use of this service, it can be distinguished within the framework of an analysis of the behaviour of the website visit, whether the corresponding input is of human origin or occurs improperly by automated machine processing. For purposes of this analysis, the service will evaluate different information, such as the IP address, time spent visiting the site, or tracked mouse movements, and forward that information to Google.
Among other things, Google uses this information to digitise books and other printed matter, as well as to optimise services such as Google Street View and Google Maps (e.g. house number and street name recognition).
The IP address submitted as part of “reCAPTCHA” will not be merged with any other data provided by Google unless you are logged in to your Google account at the time you use the “reCAPTCHA” plug-in. If you want to prevent this transmission and storage of data about you and your behaviour on our website by “Google”, you must log out of “Google” before you visit our site or use the reCAPTCHA plug-in.
The legal basis of this data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, and therefore is based on our legitimate interest in protecting our website against abusive automated use.
Our website uses the Google Maps map service to provide directions to our offices via an API. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereafter “Google”.
To use the features of Google Maps, it is necessary to save your IP address. This information is then usually transmitted to a Google server in the US and stored there. We have no influence on this data transfer. The use of Google Maps takes place in the interest of an appealing presentation of our website and for the easy findability of the place indicated by us on the respective map. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
The contact form implemented on our website makes it easier to contact us electronically. When using this contact option, the data entered online in the input mask is transmitted to us in an encrypted form and stored.
Another way to contact us via e-mail addresses provided on our website is to click on the respective e-mail address and thereby open your standard e-mail program. In this case, the user’s personal data transmitted by e-mail will be stored with us upon receipt of the e-mail sent to us.
The legal basis for the processing of the data in the presence of the consent of the user is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
The legal basis for the processing of the data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If the e-mail contact aims to conclude a contract, then additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
The processing of the personal data from the input mask serves us only to process the contact. In case of contact via e-mail, the required legitimate interest in the processing of the data also lies herein.
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose of its collection. The personal data from the input form of the contact form and the data sent by e-mail is deleted when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the relevant facts have been finally clarified.
The user has the possibility at any time to revoke consent to the processing of the personal data. If the user contacts us by e-mail, the user may object to the storage of their personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot continue.
A deletion of the personal data transmitted to us by contact form or e-mail, which has been saved in the course of contacting us, can be effected upon request; the request can be submitted by e-mail, telephone or fax.
This website uses the “Google Analytics” service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheater Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA), based on our legitimate interests in the analysis, optimisation and commercial use of our online services as defined in Art 6 (1) (f) GDPR for the analysis of website use by users. The service uses “cookies”, i.e. text files that are stored on your device. The information collected by the cookies is usually sent to a Google server in the US and stored there.
Google has been certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement, thereby complying with European data protection law. Further information can be found under: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active.
IP anonymisation is used on this website. The IP address of the users will be shortened within the member states of the EU and the European Economic Area. This shortening eliminates the personal reference of your IP address. Under the terms of the agreement, which website operators have entered into with Google Inc., they use the information collected to compile an evaluation of website activity and site activity, and provide internet-related services. In this case, pseudonymised usage profiles of the users can be created from the processed data. The IP address provided by the user’s browser will therefore not be merged with other data of Google.
Alternatively, click on this link to prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about you within this website. You can download an “opt-out cookie” by clicking on the link above. Your browser must allow cookies to be stored. If you delete your cookies regularly, you will need to click on the link each time you visit this website.
