The data may be sent to technical service providers who act as processors for the operation and maintenance of our website.
The data will be erased as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was captured. In respect of data used to make the website accessible, this is generally the case once the respective session ends.
Mandated or required provision:
The provision of the above personal data is mandated neither by law nor by contract. However, the availability and functionality of our website is not guaranteed if no IP address is provided. Furthermore, individual services may be unavailable or restricted. For this reason objections are excluded.

Subscribers may also be contacted via email with information relating to the service or the registration (e.g. changes in the Newsletter offering or technical aspects).
To register effectively, we need a valid email address. We use the “double-opt-in” process to check that the registration has been actually carried out by the holder of an email address. To do this, we log the subscription for the Newsletter, the dispatch of a confirmation email and the receipt of the answer requested therein. We do not capture any other data. The data is exclusively used for dispatching the Newsletter and not disclosed to third parties.

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, i.e. text files which are stored on your computer and permit analysis of your use of the website. The data relating to your use of the website generated by the cookie is normally transmitted to a server operated by Google in the USA, where it is stored. However, due to the activation of IP anonymisation on these web pages, Google will previously truncate your IP address within Member States of the European Union or in other Contracting States to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to and truncated by Google on servers in the United States. Commissioned by the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on the website activities, and to provide to the website operator other services in connection with the use of the website and the internet. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the frame of Google Analytics will not be combined with other Google data.
The purpose of data processing is the evaluation of the use of the website and the composition of reports on activities on the website. Based on the use of the website and the internet, other services in this connection are to be provided.
We will process the data on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR).
Google will receive the data as a processor. We concluded a respective processing contract with Google.
The data will be erased as soon as they are no longer required by us for recording purposes.
Google processes your data in the USA and submitted to the EU_US Privacy Shield https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

In addition or as an alternative to the browser add-on, you can forbid tracking by Google Analytics on our website by pressing the blue round button in the lower left corner of the screen. Click on the “?” behind “Marketing”. Now remove the green tick from Google Analytics, which appears in the newly opened window. This installs an opt-out cookie on your device. As long as the cookie remains installed in your browser, it prevents any future capture by Google Analytics for this website and this browser.
The Google Analytics tracking tool is used to assess the behaviour of the visitors to the website and to analyse their interests. To this end, we generate a pseudonymous user profile.
For the provision of services at a charge, we ask you for additional data, e.g. payment details, so that we can fulfil your order.

Embedding the Trusted Shop
The Trusted Shops Trust Badge is embedded on this website to indicate our Trusted Shops quality seal and the collected ratings, if any, and to offer the Trusted Shops products to the customers after they placed an order.
This serves to protect our legitimate interests in optimum marketing of our product range in the frame of a weighing of interests. The Trust Badge and the services it promotes are offered by Trusted Shops GmbH, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne. When the Trust Badge is called up, the web server will automatically store a so-called server log file which comprises e.g. your IP address, date and time of the call, transmitted data volume, and the calling provider (access data) and documents the call-up. This access data is not evaluated and will be overwritten automatically at the latest seven days after the end of your visit to our website. Other personal data is only transmitted to Trusted Shops if you decide to use Trusted Shops products after having completed placing an order, or are already registered for Trusted Shops use. In this case, the contractual agreement between you and Trusted Shops applies.
We do not use any social media plugins. Our website just has hyperlinks to the respective services.
We embed YouTube videos on some of our websites. The operator of the respective plugin is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA (“YouTube”). If you visit a page with the YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. YouTube is informed which pages you visit. If you logged in with your YouTube account, YouTube can assign your surfing behaviour to you personally. To prevent this, log out of your YouTube account before visiting our website.
When a YouTube video is started, the provider uses cookies capturing information about the user behaviour.
For more information on the purpose and scope of the capture of data and its processing by YouTube, go to the provider’s privacy statements. There, you will receive further information on your respective rights and setting options for the protection of your privacy (https://policies.google.com/privacy). Google processes your data in the USA and submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.
The legal basis of embedding YouTube and of the connected data transfer to Google is our legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f. GDPR) and your consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR).
Storage time and revoking your consent:
Users who deactivated the storage of cookies for the Google-Ad program can be sure that no such cookies are set when they watch YouTube videos. But YouTube also stores non-personal user information in other cookies. If you wish to prevent this, you must block the setting of cookies in the browser.
For more information on data protection at YouTube, see the provider’s privacy statement at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/
We use the services of Google Maps on this website. Google Maps is operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Their services allow us to show you interactive maps directly in the website, and give you the chance for convenient use of the maps functions.

On your visit to the website, information is transmitted to Google that you called up the respective page of our website. This happens irrespective of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or no user account exists. If you are logged in with Google, the data is directly assigned to your account.
If you do not wish Google to assign your visit to the website to your Google profile, you must log out before clicking on the button. Google saves your data as user profiles and uses it for PR, market research and/or customised presentation of its website. This evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to display customised adverts and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the formation of these user profiles. To exercise it, you need to contact Google.
We do not capture any personal data by embedded Google Maps.
If you do not wish Google to capture, process, or use data about you via our internet presence, you can deactivate JavaScript in your browser settings. In this case, however, your will be able to use our website to a limited extent only or not at all.

For the privacy policy of the library operator Google, please go to: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/
The legal basis of embedding Google Web Fonts and of the connected data transfer to Google is our legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f. GDPR) and your consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR).
Calling of script libraries or font libraries automatically initiates a connection to the operator of the library. In this context, it is theoretically possible that the operator, i.e. Google, captures data – though it is currently unclear whether and if so for what purpose.
We do not capture any personal data by embedded Google Web Fonts.
For more information on Google Web Fonts, seehttps://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and the Google privacy statement: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
The provision of personal data is mandated neither by law nor by contract. However, if you do not provide it displaying the content correctly in standard fonts may be impossible.
Generally, the programming language JavaScript is used for representing the contents. You can therefore object to data processing by deactivating JavaScript in your browser or by installing a JavaScript blocker. Please note that this may restrict the functionality of the website.
Our website uses Google Conversion Tracking. The provider of the services of Google AdWords is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. If you have reached our website via an advert placed by Google, Google AdWords will set a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an advert placed by Google.
If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not expired yet, we and Google can see that the user has clicked in the advert and has been forwarded to the web page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a unique cookie. Accordingly, cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information captured by means of the conversion cookie are used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who opted for conversion tracking. The customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their advert and were forwarded to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information suitable for identifying an individual user.
The legal basis of embedding Google AdWords and of the connected data transfer to Google is our legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f. GDPR) and your consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR).
Each time you visit our website, personal data including your IP address is transmitted to Google in the USA. Google stores this personal data. Google may possibly disclose personal data captured via this technical procedure.
Our company does not receive any information from Google suitable for identification of a person concerned.
These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to identify a person.
If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to the setting of a respective cookie – for example by setting your browser to general deactivation of automatic cookie placement, or by setting the browser so that cookies from the domain “googleleadservices.com” are blocked.
Please note that you must not delete the opt-out cookies if you do not wish measurement data to be stored. If you have deleted all your cookies in the browser, you will need to place a new respective opt-out cookie.
To protect the security of your data during transfer, we use state-of-the-art encryption processes (such as SSL) via HTTPS.
Erasing and blocking data:
We adhere to the principles of data avoidance and economy. Consequently, we will only store your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes stated here, or in accordance with the various retention periods allowed by law. When the intended purpose no longer applies, or the allowable retention period has expired, we will routinely block or erase the relevant data in accordance with legal requirements.
Using the specified contact data of our Data Security Officer, you can at any time exercise your right to:
receive information about your data stored by us and how we process it (Art. 15 GDPR),
data transmission, provided you consented to data processing or concluded a contract with us (Art. 20 GDPR).
At any time, you can lodge an objection with the regulatory authorities, e.g. the responsible regulatory authority of the Federal State where your residence is, or the authority which is responsible for us.
