This Data Protection Statement informs the user of this website about the type, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by the website operator.
All personal data is treated confidentially by the website operator and in compliance with the legal regulations, in particular, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) [Datenschutz-Grundverordnung (DSGVO)] and the German Federal Data Protection Act (FDPA) [Bundesdatenschutzgesetzes (BDSG)]. The definitions of the used terms (e.g. “personal data” or “processing”) are provided in Art. 4 of the GDPR.
We generally only process personal data of our users as far as this is necessary to provide a functioning website and our content and services. Personal data is regularly collected and used only after obtaining the user’s consent. An exception applies to cases in which prior consent cannot be obtained for reasons of fact and the processing of the data is permitted by law.
The personal data of the relevant person will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies. The data may be stored beyond such a time period if such storage is prescribed by the European or national legislature in provisions pertaining to European Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the person responsible is subject. The data will also blocked or deleted when a storage period prescribed by the standards mentioned expires, unless it is neces-sary to further store the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.
These log files contain IP address or other data that enable an assignment of the data to a user. This may be the case, for example, if the link to the website from which the user accesses the website or the link to the website to which the user is switching contains personal data. The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user. The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR.
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to allow delivery of the website to the computer of the user. To do this, the user’s IP address must be stored for the duration of the session. Storage in log files is carried out to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data is used to optimise the website and ensure the security of our IT systems. The data is not evaluated for marketing purposes in this context. For these purposes, our legitimate interest in the processing of data is in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR.
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose of its collection. In the case of collecting the data for providing the website, this is the case when the respective session is completed. If data is stored in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Further storage is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or made unidentifiable, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.
The collection of data for providing the website and the storage of the data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. Consequently, no objection on the part of the user is possible.
The data of the users collected in this way is pseudonymised through technical precautions. An assignment of the data to the calling user is therefore no longer possible. The data will not be stored together with other personal data of the user.
The legal basis for processing personal data while using cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR. The legal basis for processing personal data while using technically required cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR. The legal basis for processing personal data while using cookies for analytical purposes is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR if the respective consent of the user is on hand.
On our web page, there is the option to subscribe to a free newsletter. When registering for the newsletter, data from the input mask (e. g. e-mail address, name etc.) is collected and stored for this.
We obtain your consent and refer to this data protection statement for the processing of data in line with the registration process. When you purchase goods or services on our website and store your e-mail address in the process, we may subsequently use it to send a newsletter. In such case, direct advertising for similar goods or services is only sent through the newsletter. No data is forwarded to third parties in connection with the data processing for sending the newsletter. The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter.
The newsletter is sent based on the user’s registration on the website. The legal basis for processing the data after the user has registered for the newsletter is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the GDPR if the respective consent of the user is on hand. The legal basis for sending the newsletter as the result of the sale of goods or services is § 7 Section 3 of the German Act against Unfair Competition (UWG).
The user's e-mail address is collected to deliver the newsletter. The newsletter is sent based on the user’s registration on the website. The collection of other personal data in the context of the registra-tion process serves to prevent misuse of the services or the email address used.
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose of its collection. The e-mail address of the user is therefore stored as long as the subscription to the newsletter is active. The newsletter is sent based on the user’s registration on the website. The other personal data collected during the registration process shall generally be deleted after a time period of seven days.
The subscription to the newsletter may be terminated at any time by the relevant user. For this purpose, there is a corresponding link provided in each newsletter.
On our website, we offer users the opportunity to register by providing personal information. The data is entered into an input mask and transmitted to us and stored. This data is not forwarded to third parties. The following data is collected during the registration process: Name, address, IP address of the user, date and time of the registration.
The consent of the user to process this data is obtained during the registration process. The legal basis for processing the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the GDPR if the respective consent of the user is on hand. If the registration serves to fulfil a contract to which the user is a party or to carry out pre-contractual actions, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b of the GDPR also serves as the legal basis for processing the data.
A registration of the user is required for the fulfilment of a contract with the user, or for the execution of pre-contractual measures. The storage of personal data is required during the term of the contract and for the entire warranty period as well as if it is required for the fulfilment of legal purposes, such as tax purposes, for example. The legal basis for processing the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the GDPR if the respective consent of the user is on hand.
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose of its collection. This is the case for data collected during the registration process for the fulfilment of a contract or the execution of precontractual measures if such data is no longer required for the fulfilment of the contract. Even after having entered into a contract, it may be necessary to store personal data of the contractual partner to fulfil contractual or statutory requirements.
We provide a contact form on our website that can be used for contacting us electronically. Ratings can also be published. If the user uses this option, the data is entered into an input mask and transmitted to us and stored. This data includes: Name, address, IP address of the user, date and time of the registration.
We obtain your consent and refer to this data protection statement for processing data in line with the dispatching process. Alternatively, you can also contact us using the provided e-mail address. In this case, the personal data of the user transmitted with the e-mail is stored. No data is forwarded to third parties within this context. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation.
The legal basis for processing the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the GDPR if the respective consent of the user is on hand. The legal basis for processing the data that is transmitted in line with the sending of an e-mail is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the GDPR. If the purpose of the contact via email is the entering into a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. Section 1 lit. b of the GDPR.
If you leave a contribution or comment on this website, your IP address is stored. This is done on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. of the GDPR and serves our security as a website operator. For if your comment violates applicable law, we can be prosecuted, which is why we have an interest in the identity of the author of the comment or contribution. We only process the personal data from the input mask to process the contact. In the case of contact via e-mail, this also includes the required legitimate interest in the processing the data.
The other personal data processed during the sending process serves to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our IT systems.
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose of its collection. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and the data sent by e-mail, this is the case 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 additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted, at the latest, after a time period of seven days.
The user can revoke his consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by e-mail, he may object to the storage of his personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued. In this case, all personal data that was collected when establishing contact will be deleted.
Based on our legitimate interests, this website uses the “Google Analytics” service offered by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheater Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) for the optimisation and analysis of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR. The service (Google Analytics) uses “cookies” – 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.
This website uses IP anonymisation. The IP address of the users is shortened within the Member States of the EU and the European Economic Area and in the other Member States of the Agreement. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. Due to such shortening, the personal reference to your IP address is eliminated. The IP address of the user transmitted by the browser is not combined with other data stored by Google.
In line with the order data processing agreement that we, the website operators, have entered into with Google Inc., Google Inc. compiles an analysis of website usage and website activity using the collected data and provides services connected to the use of the Internet. The data collected by Google in our order is used to analyse the use of our online offer by individual users, e.g. to create reports about the activity on the website and improve our online offer.
You have the option to prevent the storage of cookies on your device by making corresponding changes to your browser settings. It is not guaranteed that you will be able to access all functions of this website without restrictions if your browser does not accept cookies.
Alternatively, you click this link (IMPORTANT: insert Opt Out link) to prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about you on this website. Click the link at the top to download an opt-out cookie. Your browser must generally allow the storage of cookies for this. If you regularly delete your cook-ies, you must click the link again each time you visit this website.
This website uses Piwik, an open source software application, for the statistical evaluation of access by users. Piwik uses what are called cookies. Cookies are small text files which are saved in the user's browser. These are used to assess the use of this website. During this process, data is collected, pro-cessed and saved on servers in Germany in order to create anonymous utilisation profiles. The data includes the name of the website accessed, the file, data and time of the access, the amount of data transmitted, a message about successful access, the browser type and version, the user's operating system, the referrer's URL (the page previously visited), the IP address and the provider making the enquiry. The personal IP address is anonymised immediately after processing (IP-based company recognition) by deleting the last block of numbers (masking) and is also not consolidated with the cookies or other data. Users can prevent tracking by cookies by adjusting their browser software correspondingly or by clicking on the following Link (opt-out).
The plug-ins on our website are identifiable by the logos of the respective companies or e.g. the “Like me” or “Recommend” button. When you visit one of our websites that contains a social plug-in, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of the respective company. This, in turn, transmits the content of the plug-in to your browser, which integrates it into the displayed website. This forwards the information that you visited our website to these companies. We have no influence on the data collected and data processing procedures and we are not aware of the full extent of data collection, the purposes of processing and the storage periods. We also have no information on the deletion of the data collected by the plug-in provider. The plug-in providers store the data collected about you as user profiles and use them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of their website. Such an analysis takes place, in particular, (also for users who are not logged in) for the representation of advertisement according to needs and in order to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have a right to object to the creation of these user profiles; however, you must contact the respective plug-in provider to exercise this right. Through the plug-ins we allow to interact with social networks and other users so that we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for the use of the plug-ins is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR.
