Data protection is a matter of trust and your trust is important to us. We respect your privacy and personal sphere. The protection and the lawful collection, processing and use of your personal data is therefore an important concern for us. To ensure that you feel secure when visiting our website, we strictly observe the legal provisions when processing your personal data and would like to inform you here about our data collection and data use.
We are committed to complying with the GDPR and the national data protection laws. For us, data protection is a corporate matter of high priority and we only work with partners who can also demonstrate an appropriate level of data protection within your processing framework. We only process your data if you have given us your express consent, if this is based on a contract or pre-contractual measures on a service basis or if the relevant laws permit or require data processing. The following data protection information covers both the currently applicable national legal framework and the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) valid throughout Europe from 25 May 2018. References to legal bases of the GDPR will apply from 25 May 2018. Under no circumstances will we sell your data or pass them on to unauthorised third parties. We would be pleased to inform you in detail about the handling of your data in our divisions.
You can print or save this document by using the usual functionality of your browser. The following data protection declaration explains which data is collected on our websites and which data we process and use and how.
We only collect and use personal data of our users insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website as well as our content and services. The collection and use of personal data of our users takes place routinely only with the user's consent. An exception applies in those cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) shall serve as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.
In the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR shall serve as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is required to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR shall serve as the legal basis.
In the event that the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(d) GDPR shall serve as the legal basis.
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Furthermore, data may be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the data controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.
The data is stored in log files to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.
These purposes also constitute our justified interest in processing personal data as per Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. In the event that data is collected in order to make the website available, this is the case once each session has ended.
If the data is stored in log files, this will happen after seven days at the latest. Further storage is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.
Collecting the data in order to make the website available, and saving this data in log files, is necessary in order to operate the website. Therefore the user does not have a right to object to this.
User data that is collected in this way is rendered pseudonymous by technical means. Therefore, it is no longer possible to assign the data to the visiting user. The data will not be stored together with other personal data of the users.
On our websites, data is collected on the basis of cookie technology to optimise our advertising and the entire online offering. These data are not used to identify you personally, but serve only a pseudonymous evaluation of the use of the homepage. Your data will never be combined with the personal data stored by us. With this technology we can present you advertising and/or special offers and services whose content is based on the information obtained in connection with the clickstream analysis. Our aim is to make our online offer as attractive as possible for you and to present you with advertising that corresponds to your areas of interest.
We make use of some advertising partners who help to make the internet offer and the websites more interesting for you. For this reason, cookies from partner companies are also stored on your hard drive when you visit the websites. These are temporary/permanent cookies that are automatically deleted after a specified time. These temporary or permanent cookies (lifetime 14 days to 10 years) are stored on your hard disk and delete themselves after the specified time. The cookies of our partner companies also only contain pseudonymous mostly even anonymous data. This includes, for example, data on which products you have looked at, whether something was purchased, which products were searched for, and so on. Some of our advertising partners also collect information about which pages you have previously visited or which products you were interested in, for example, in order to be able to show you the advertising that best suits your interests. These pseudonymous data will never be combined with your personal data. Their sole purpose is to enable our advertising partners to address you with advertising that might actually be of interest to you.
d) How can you prevent the storage of cookies?
Depending on the browser used, you can set that a storage of cookies is only accepted if you agree. If you only want to accept the cookies we use, but not the cookies of our service providers and partners, you can select the setting in your browser "Block third party cookies". Usually, the help function in the menu bar of your web browser shows you how you can reject new cookies and deactivate cookies already received. We recommend that you always log out completely of shared computers that are set so that cookies and flash cookies are accepted.
The analysis cookies are used to improve the quality of our website and its content. The analysis cookies tell us how the website is being used, which allows us to continuously improve our offerings.
These purposes also constitute our justified interest in processing personal data as per Art. 6 Sec. 1 lt. f GDPR.
If the user is not yet registered, he will be registered in this process.
During the registration process, your consent is obtained for the processing of the data and reference is made to this data protection declaration.
If you purchase goods or services on our website and provide us with your e-mail address, we may subsequently use it to send you a newsletter. In such a case, the newsletter sent will only contain direct advertising for similar goods or services of our own.
Apart from use for our e-mail marketing tool Salesforce, data is not passed on to third parties in connection with data processing for sending newsletters. The data will be used exclusively for sending the newsletter.
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. The other personal data collected during the registration process will generally be deleted after a period of seven days.
The subscription to the newsletter can be cancelled by the user concerned at any time. For this purpose there is a corresponding link available in every newsletter.
The legal basis for processing the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a,b GDPR if the user has given his or her consent.
A registration of the user is necessary for the provision of certain contents and services on our website.
Similarly, a registration of the user is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract with the user or for the execution of pre-contractual measures. The collected data is used for purchase and shipping processing.
This is the case for those data collected during the registration process to fulfil a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures when the data is no longer required for the execution of the contract. Even after conclusion of the contract, it may still be necessary to store personal data of the contractual partner in order to fulfil contractual or legal obligations.
Alternatively, you can contact us via the e-mail address provided. In that case, the user's personal data transmitted by e-mail will be stored.
The legal basis for the processing of data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR with the user's consent.
The processing of the personal data from the input mask only serves the aim of handling the establishment of contact. In the event of contact by e-mail, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data.
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. For the personal data from the input screen of the contact form and those that were sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user is finished. The conversation is terminated when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the facts in question have been finally clarified.
The user has the possibility to revoke his or her consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by e-mail, he can object to the storage of his or her personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.
