1)	Preamble
Welcome to our website! We place great value on the protection of your data and the safeguarding of your private sphere.

The following privacy statement applies for the following of our websites:

Personal data according to Art. 4 ( 1) GDPR is all information which relates to an identified or identifiable natural person. A natural person is seen as identifiable if s/he can be directly or indirectly identified. For more information please see e.g. Art. 4 (1) GDPR.
This privacy statement can be accessed online, e.g. at http://m.luxelements.com/en/datenschutz.htm.
Insofar as we invoke as the legal basis for the processing of personal data our justified interest or a justified interest of a third party (Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR), you have a right of objection according to Art. 21 GDPR:
of objection at any time to the processing of personal data.We will then no longer process the personal data for the purposes of direct marketing or related profiling.
After an objection we will no longer process your personal data unless we can prove urgent security reasons for doing so which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or we can prove that processing your data is in the interests of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims (see e.g. Art. 21 ( 1) GDPR, "limited right of objection").In this case you must set out reasons for the objection deriving from your special situation.
You may also object to the processing of your personal data, for reasons that arise from your particular situation, for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes under Article 89 (1) GDPR, unless the processing is to fulfil a task in the public interest (see Article 21 (6) GDPR).
We will refer again to the right of objection separately in individual sections (for example, by stating: "You have a right of objection"), if this right exists. There you will also find further information on the assertion of your right of objection.
In the interests of the clarity of the following privacy statement, we refer you by links at various points to information and data protection notices which are located on external websites (see also section "Social networks & external links" in this privacy statement). We make every effort to keep the links that we list in this privacy statement up to date.

With the integration of Google services Google may under certain circumstances collect and process information (including personal data). It cannot be guaranteed that Google does not pass the information on to a server in a non-EU country.
As specified in Google's Privacy Shield Certification (search "Google" at https://www.privacyshield.gov/list), Google is committed to upholding the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss-US Privacy Shield Framework on the collection, use and storage of personal data from the EU member states and/or the Switzerland.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and abbreviated there.
We have agreed a data processing agreement for the use of Google Analytics with Google (Art. 28 GDPR). Google processes the data in our order to analyse your use of our websites, to compile reports about website activity and to provide further services related to website use and internet use for us.
