(2) In some cases, we use external service providers to process your data. These have been carefully selected and commissioned by us, are bound by our instructions and are regularly checked.
(2) If we base the processing of your personal data on the weighing of interests, you may object to the processing. This is the case if processing is not necessary in particular to fulfil a contract with you, which is described by us in the following description of the functions. When exercising such objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have done. In the event of your justified objection, we will examine the situation and either stop or adjust data processing or point out to you our compelling reasons worthy of protection, on the basis of which we will continue processing.

Required information for the execution of the contracts are marked separately, further information is voluntary. We process the data provided by you to process your order.

When you create an account under "Login/Register", the data you have provided will be saved revocably. All other data, including your user account, can always be deleted in the customer/login area.
(2) We are obliged by commercial and tax law to store your address, payment and order data for a period of ten years. However, after[two years] we will limit processing, i.e. your data will only be used to comply with legal obligations.
(3) To prevent unauthorized access to your personal data, especially financial data, the order process is encrypted using TLS technology.

(1) We currently use the external payment service provider PayPal, through whose platform it is possible for you to make payment transactions. This is done within the framework of Art. 6 I lit. b and lit. f DSGVO.
(3) The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your e-mail address. The indication of further, separately marked data is voluntary and is used to be able to address you personally]. After your confirmation we will save your e-mail address for the purpose of sending you the newsletter. The legal basis is Art. 6 I 1 lit. a DSGVO. Our newsletters are sent by means of the shipping service provider Mailchimp on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 I 1 lit. f DSGVO and on the basis of an order processing contract in accordance with § 28 DSGVO. Mailchimp can use your data in pseudonymous form, i.e. without assignment to a user, to optimize or improve its service. Mailchip does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write them down or to pass the data on to third parties.

(4) You can revoke your consent to the sending of the newsletter at any time and cancel the newsletter. You can declare your revocation by clicking on the link provided in every newsletter e-mail or by sending a message to the contact details given in the imprint.
(5) We would like to point out that we evaluate your user behaviour when sending the newsletter. For this analysis, the e-mails sent contain so-called web beacons, i.e. tracking pixels, which represent single-pixel image files stored on our website. For the evaluations we link the data mentioned in § 3 and the web beacons with your e-mail address and an individual ID. The data is collected exclusively pseudonymised, the IDs are therefore not linked to your other personal data, direct personal relationship is excluded.
You can object to this tracking at any time by clicking on the separate link provided in each e-mail or by informing us of another contact method. The information is stored for as long as you have subscribed to the newsletter. After a cancellation we store the data purely statistically and anonymously. Such tracking is also not possible if you have deactivated the display of images in your e-mail program by default. In this case the newsletter will not be displayed completely and you may not be able to use all functions. If you display the images manually, the above tracking takes place.
(1) We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. "("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, Google will reduce your IP address within Member States of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area beforehand. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website and Internet use.
(4) This website uses Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp()". As a result, IP addresses are further processed in abbreviated form, so that a personal relationship can be ruled out. As far as the data collected about you is personal, it will be excluded immediately and the personal data will be deleted immediately.
(5) We use Google Analytics to analyse and regularly improve the use of our website. We can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 I 1 lit. f DSGVO. Users' personal data will be deleted or made anonymous after 14 months.
(1) We currently use social media buttons for the Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn networks on our website on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 I 1 lit. f DSGVO. The buttons are static. This means that when you visit our site, no personal data is initially passed on to the providers. You can recognize the provider of the social network by the marking on the button and the logo. Only if you establish a connection with the network, the provider of the respective network receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding website of our online offer. In addition, the server log files already described above are transmitted. According to Facebook, the IP address in Germany is made anonymous immediately after it is collected. By connecting to the social network, personal data is transferred from you to the respective social network provider and stored there (for US providers in the USA). We have no influence on the data collected and data processing processes, nor are we aware of the full extent of data collection, the purposes of processing, the storage periods. We also have no information on the deletion of the data collected by the provider of the social network.
(2) The provider of the respective social network stores the data collected about you as user profiles and uses these for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such an evaluation takes place in particular (also for not logged in users) for the representation of demand-fair advertisement and in order to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have a right of objection to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact the respective provider to exercise this right.
(3) The data transfer is independent of whether you have an account with the social network provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in with the provider, your data collected with us will be directly assigned to your existing account with the provider. If you click the button and, for example, link the page, the provider also stores this information in your user account and informs your contacts publicly. We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, especially before using the button, as this way you can avoid being assigned to your profile with the provider.
(4) Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by the provider can be found in the data protection declarations of these providers. They will also provide you with further information about your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy.

(1) We use the offer of Google Adwords to draw attention to our attractive offers with the help of advertising materials (so-called Google Adwords) on external websites. We can determine in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns how successful the individual advertising measures are. We are interested in showing you advertisements that are of interest to you, to make our website more interesting for you and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs.
(2) These advertising media are delivered by Google via so-called "Ad Servers". For this purpose, we use ad server cookies, through which certain parameters for measuring success, such as the insertion of ads or clicks by users, can be measured. If you access our website via a Google ad, Google Adwords stores a cookie on your PC. These cookies usually expire after 30 days and are not intended to identify you personally. For this cookie, the unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (mark that the user no longer wishes to be addressed) are usually stored as analysis values.
(3) These cookies enable Google to recognize your Internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of an Adwords customer's website and the cookie stored on their computer has not expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user has clicked on the ad and has been redirected to this page. Each Adwords customer is assigned a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be traced via the websites of Adwords customers. We do not collect and process any personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google. On the basis of these evaluations we can recognize which of the used advertising measures are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of advertising material; in particular, we cannot identify users on the basis of this information.
(4) Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server. We have no influence on the extent and the further use of the data which are raised by the use of this tool by Google and inform you therefore according to our knowledge: By the integration of AdWords conversion Google receives the information that you called the appropriate part of our Internet appearance or clicked an announcement of us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google may associate your visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider may obtain and store your IP address.

We are interested in showing you advertisements that are of interest to you in order to make our website more interesting for you.
