(2) In addition to the aforementioned data, cookies are stored on your computer when you use our website. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your hard disk in association with the browser you are using, and by which the body which sets the cookie (in this case, us), transmits certain information. Cookies cannot run programs or transfer viruses to your computer. They serve to make our site more user-friendly and effective.

(3) Furthermore, we may disclose your personal data to third parties if we offer promotions, competitions, contracts or similar services together with partners. For more information on this, please provide your personal data or see the description of the offer below.
(1) If you have given your consent to the processing of your data, you may revoke this at any time. Any such revocation will affect our ability to process your personal data after you have already given it to us.
(2) Insofar as we base the processing of your personal data on the balance 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 an objection, we will ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have done. In the event of a justified objection by you, 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.
(1) If you wish to place an order on our website, you will need to provide us with your personal data for the conclusion of the contract, which we will need to process your order. The information required for the processing of the contracts is marked separately; any further information is voluntary. We use the data you have provided solely to process your order. For this, we can forward your payment details to our bank. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. b) of the GDPR. You can create a customer account voluntarily through which we can store your data for further purchases. When you create an account under "My account", the data you have provided will be stored revocably.

(2) We are obliged by commercial and tax regulations 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.

The purpose of the procedure is to be able to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify a possible misuse of your personal data.

(6) Third party information: Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, Fax: +353 (1) 436 1001. User conditions: http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html, Overview of data protection: http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/learn/privacy.html, as well as the data protection declaration: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
(1) We currently use the following social media platforms: Facebook and YouTube. In doing so, we use a two-click solution. This means that if you visit our site, initially no personal data will be passed on to the provider. You can recognise the provider of the platform by the logo. We offer you the possibility of getting to the site of the provider via the button on our site. The providers receive information that you have accessed the corresponding website of our online offer only if you click on the field and thereby call it up. In addition, the data mentioned under § 3 of this declaration will be transmitted. In the cases of Facebook and YouTube, the IP address will be anonymised immediately after collection, according to the respective provider in Germany. By calling up the Facebook or YouTube company pages, personal data will be transferred from you to the provider and saved there (at US providers in the USA). Since the provider collects data mainly via cookies, we recommend that you delete all cookies before clicking on the greyed-out box using your browser's security settings.
(2) We have no influence on the data collected and data processing operations, 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 data collected by the plug-in provider.
(3) The providers store the collected data about you as user profiles and use these for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of their websites. Such evaluation is carried out (also for users who are not logged in) to display customised advertising and to inform other users of the social networks about activities on our website. You have a right to object to the creation of these user profiles. You must contact the respective provider to exercise this right. Through the offer of the providers, we offer you the possibility of interacting with social networks and other users, so that we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. Legal basis for the use is Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f) of the GDPR.
(4) The data will be passed on regardless of whether you have an account with the providers 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. When pressing the button and linking the page, for example, the provider also stores this information in your user account and communicates this to your contacts in public. We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, especially before activating the button, as, in this way, you can avoid being assigned to your profile with the providers.
(5) For more information on the purpose and extent of data collection and its processing by the providers, please refer to the privacy statements of these providers given below. Here, you will also find further information on your relevant rights and settings options for protecting your privacy.
We use the most common SSL (Secure Socket Layer) method in connection with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser. Usually, this is a 256 bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit v3 technology instead. Whether a single page of our website is transmitted in encrypted form is indicated by the closed display of the key or lock symbol in the lower status bar of your browser. We also use suitable technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously updated according to technological developments.
In the following, we will inform you about the collection of our business partners´ personal data. Personal data include all data which can be personally attributed to you, e.g. name, address, e-mail address, phone numbers.
The collection and processing of your personal data is required for business transactions for the purposes of contract initiation, contract implementation and accounting, as well as for using our services. Your data are therefore processed for the purposes of contract performance and execution of pre-contractual measures as per Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, and for compliance with the legal obligations as per Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. In addition, the data are also used for improving our offers and services due to our legitimate interest in the performance of market research activities. This processing of your data takes place on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Upon request, the data are also processed for the purpose of sending you information. The processing of data then takes place on the basis of your consent to direct advertising as per Art. 6 lit. 1 lit. a GDPR. In addition, a credit assessment can be conducted on the basis of § 31 BDSG (new) (new German Federal Data Protection Act). We make use of the services of credit agencies or other third parties for these assessments, and your data are forwarded to them or requested by them for this purpose. The collection, processing and use of data for this purpose takes place on grounds of a legitimate interest as per Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest consists of the collection of data for the purposes of payment handling, admissibility assessment of payment methods and avoidance of payment defaults.
Personal data are deleted if the contractual relationship comes to an end, all mutual claims have been satisfied and no other legally required retention periods or legal grounds of justification for saving the data exist. They include, among others, also required retention periods taken from the German Commercial Code (HGB). That is, the data are deleted at the latest upon expiry of the legally required retention periods, usually 10 years after contract termination.
Those departments within the company are granted access to personal data which is needed by them for the fulfilment of the above-mentioned purposes. This also applies to external service providers and vicarious agents, e.g. providers of print, IT, market data analyses and accounts receivable management services. We have concluded corresponding contract data processing agreements with these service providers as per Art. 28 GDPR. In addition, credit agencies receive personal data. Investigating authorities can also be the recipients of personal data, if the respective statutory requirements are met.
