Floragard Vertriebs-GmbH treats the protection of your personal data as a matter of priority. Your personal data is stored and used in accordance with data protection regulations, in particular the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).
Personal data consists of individual details about the personal or factual circumstances of an identified or identifiable natural person, such as their name, address, telephone number, date of birth, email address and IP address.
When you visit our website or use its services, the device that is used to access the site transfers log data (connection data) to our server automatically. This information consists of the name of the website, the file, the current date, the volume of data, the web browser and version, the operating system, the domain name of your internet provider, the referrer URL of the page from which you accessed our page, and the corresponding IP address. This data is stored in an anonymised form pursuant to the German Telemedia Act (TMG), which means that the personal data cannot be used to create user profiles. Basis of this collection of data is our legitimate interest under the terms of Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR.
The collected data is used exclusively for statistical evaluation for the purpose of website operation, security, and optimisation. However, we reserve the right to review the log data retrospectively if there is a legitimate suspicion of unlawful use on the basis of specific evidence. These data will be deleted after 7 days at latest.
Cookies are small files that are stored on a visitor’s hard drive. Most of the cookies used on this website are “session cookies”. They are deleted automatically at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain saved on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow your device to recognise your browser during your next visit to the website.
If you send us an inquiry via our contact form, we will store and process your personal data in order to process the inquiry and, where applicable, related questions under the terms of Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR. We will not pass on these data without your particular approval.
We retain the data you enter in the contact form until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent for storage, or if the purpose of the data storage no longer exists (i.e. your query has been processed).
We put in place technical and organisational security measures to ensure that the data you provide is adequately protected from accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction, or access by unauthorised persons. We therefore use SSL encryption for the transmission of sensitive content, e.g. queries that you send to us in our capacity as site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection when the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and the lock icon appears in the browser bar. When SSL encryption is enabled, the data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. Our security measures are constantly updated to reflect the latest technology.
If you subscribe to our newsletter on our website, we will use the personal data which you provide in this context solely to send you the newsletter.
Subscribing to our newsletter involves a double opt-in procedure. Once you subscribe, you will receive an email in which you are asked to confirm your subscription. This confirmation is required to prevent anyone from registering using third-party email addresses. The subscriptions to the newsletter are logged to ensure that the subscription process can be verified in accordance with legal requirements (consent pursuant to Article 6 Paragraph 1(a) of the GDPR). This includes storage of the subscription time, confirmation time, and the IP address.
Any data we receive from you, and the logged information, will not be disclosed to third parties. You may revoke your consent to the collection and storage of your data, and its use for sending the newsletter, at any time and for any reason, without giving notice. You can find a link to cancel your newsletter subscription at the end of each newsletter.

We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter reCAPTCHA”) on this website. This service is provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).
reCAPTCHA is used to check whether data was entered on the website by a human or an automated program (e.g. in a contact form). To do so, reCAPTCHA uses a range of characteristics to analyse the behaviour of the website visitor. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates a range of information (e.g. IP address, the length of time the visitor spends on the website, or the mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during this analysis is forwarded to Google.
The reCAPTCHA analysis runs completely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that analysis is taking place.
The website operator has according GDPR legitimate interest in protecting its web pages from abusive automated spying and SPAM.
Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Framework and in this way guarantees the compliance with the European data privacy laws (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).
Google Analytics cookies are stored on the basis of Article 6 Paragraph 1(f) of the GDPR. The operator of this website has a legitimate interest in the analysis of user behaviour in order to optimise both the material and the advertising contained on its website. Data relating to users and events is deleted automatically after 26 months.
We use the IP anonymisation function on this website, which means that your IP address will be truncated by Google within a EU member state or other EEA states before being transmitted to the USA. The full IP address will only be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened in exceptional cases. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to analyse your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and provide additional services associated with the use of the website and Internet to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not conflated with other Google data.
As an alternative to the browser plugin, especially if browsers of mobile devices are involved, you can prevent data collection by Google Analytics by clicking on this link. An opt-out cookie is set which prevents your data from being collected when visiting this website in the future. This opt-out cookie is only valid in this browser and only for our website and it is stored on your device. If you clear the cookies from your browser, you need to set the opt-out cookie once again.
We have entered into a contract data processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities in our use of Google Analytics.
This website uses the “demographic characteristics” feature of Google Analytics. This makes it possible to generate reports about the age, gender and interests of visitors to the website. This data is derived from interest-based advertising by Google and visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can disable this feature at any time in the advertising settings in your Google Account, or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as outlined under “Opting out of data collection”.
Based on the legitimate interest of the provider, it may be the case that this online offer includes content and services from other providers who supplement our offer. Examples of such content include maps from Google Maps, and links to external websites. When using the services, the providers can view and save your IP address. We make every effort to include only third parties which use IP addresses solely to deliver content. However, we have no influence on which third party providers might save the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. In this context, please also note the special privacy statements for individual third-party providers and service providers whose services/links are featured on our website.
We have to publish our contact data in order to comply with the statutory obligation to provide information. Third parties sometimes use these details to send unsolicited advertising and information. We hereby explicitly forbid the unsolicited transmission of advertising material of any kind. We also expressly reserve the right to take legal action against the unwanted and unsolicited sending of advertising material. This applies in particular to spam emails, spam letters and spam faxes. We hereby give notice that the unauthorised transmission of advertising material may violate competition law, civil law and criminal law. In particular, spam emails and spam faxes can be grounds for high claims for compensation if they obstruct business operations by overfilling mailboxes or fax machines.
