Scope of processing of personal data

In principle, we only collect and use personal data from our users to the extent that this is necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The collection and use of personal data of our users takes place regularly only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in such cases in which it is not possible to obtain prior consent for actual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by statutory provisions.

Legal basis for processing personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Article 6 (1) (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data required to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the person concerned do not outweigh the first interest, Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

Data Erasure and Storage Duration

The personal data of the person concerned will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage can also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which the person responsible is subject.

The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the standards mentioned expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

Technical and organizational measures

In order to ensure that personal data cannot be read, copied, changed or removed without authorization during electronic transmission, during transport or storage on data carriers, we use a state-of-the-art encryption process in accordance with Article 9 GDPR.

This site uses TLS (Transport Layer Security) encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of sensitive content, such as the requests you send to our system. Data that you transmit to our system cannot be easily read by third parties.

You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the IP address of the user must remain stored for the duration of the session.

Storage in log files takes place to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimize 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.

Our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR also lies in these purposes.

8. Newsletters

Description and scope of data processing

Based on our legitimate interests on this website, we offer our users the opportunity to subscribe to a free newsletter.

We send newsletters, e-mails and other electronic notifications with advertising information (hereinafter "newsletter") only with the consent of the recipient or legal permission. When registering for the newsletter, the data from the input mask is transmitted to us.

If the contents of the newsletter are specifically described when registering for the newsletter, they are decisive for the consent of the user. Our newsletter also contains information about our products, offers, promotions and our company.

The following user data is collected:

the E-Mail adress

the first and last name

the chosen language

In addition, the following data is collected during registration and when data changes:

IP address of the calling computer

Date and Time

Your consent will be obtained for the processing of the data as part of the registration process and reference will be made to this data protection declaration.

Registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registration you will receive an e-mail in which you will be asked to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that nobody can register with someone else's e-mail address. The registrations for the newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process in accordance with the legal requirements. This includes storing the time of registration and confirmation as well as the IP address. Changes to your data stored by the shipping service provider are also logged.

If you purchase goods or services on our website and enter your e-mail address, this can subsequently be used by us to send a newsletter. In such a case, only direct advertising for your own similar goods or services will be sent via the newsletter.

There is no transfer of data to third parties in connection with data processing for sending newsletters. The data will only be used to send the newsletter.

The newsletters contain a so-called "web beacon", i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from the server of the shipping service provider when the newsletter is opened. As part of this retrieval, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval, are initially collected. This information is used to technically improve the services based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or the access times. The statistical surveys also include determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our aim nor that of the shipping service provider to monitor individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.

Legal basis for data processing 

The legal basis for processing the data after the user has registered for the newsletter is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR if the user has given their consent.

The legal basis for sending the newsletter as a result of the sale of goods or services is Section 7 (3) UWG.

The legal basis for the statistical surveys and analyzes is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

purpose of data processing

In order to register for the newsletter, you must provide your e-mail address, your name and the desired language of the newsletter. The collection of the user's e-mail address serves to deliver the newsletter. The recording of the name serves to address you personally in the newsletter. The language must be selected because we offer our newsletter in several languages.

The collection of other personal data as part of the registration process serves to prevent misuse of the services or the email address used.

The purpose of the statistical surveys is to use a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves our business interests and meets user expectations.

Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. The e-mail address of the user is therefore stored as long as the subscription to the newsletter is active.

The other personal data collected as part of the registration process is usually deleted after a period of seven days.

Possibility of objection and elimination

The subscription to the newsletter can be canceled by the user concerned at any time. For this purpose, there is a corresponding link in every newsletter.

This also enables a revocation of the consent to the storage of the personal data collected during the registration process.

At the same time, your consent to the statistical analyzes expires. Unfortunately, a separate revocation of the dispatch by the dispatch service provider or the statistical evaluation is not possible.

If the users have only registered for the newsletter and canceled this registration, their personal data will be deleted.

Even after the conclusion of the contract, it may be necessary to store personal data of the contractual partner in order to comply with contractual or legal obligations.

[Permanent obligations require the storage of personal data during the contract period. In addition, warranty periods must be observed and the storage of data for tax purposes. Which storage periods are to be observed cannot be fixed in general terms, but must be determined for the respective concluded contracts and contracting parties on a case-by-case basis.]

By setting the cookie, Google is able to analyze the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website is called up, which is operated by the person responsible for processing and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the person concerned is automatically activated by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the person concerned, which Google uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission statements.

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as access time, the location from which access was made and the frequency of visits to our website by the person concerned. Each time you visit our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the person concerned, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America.

Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online offer by users, to compile reports on the activities within this online offer and to provide us with other services related to the use of this online offer and internet usage. Pseudonymous user profiles can be created from the processed data.

The IP address transmitted by the user's browser is not merged with other Google data.

We use Google Analytics to only display the ads placed within the advertising services of Google and its partners to those users who have also shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products, which are based on the visited website). websites are determined), which we transmit to Google (so-called “remarketing” or “Google Analytics audiences”). With the help of remarketing audiences, we also want to ensure that our ads correspond to the potential interests of users and are not annoying.

We only use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymization. This means that the IP address of the user is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

Legal basis for processing personal data

The legal basis for the processing of users' personal data is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

purpose of data processing

The processing of users' personal data enables us to analyze the surfing behavior of our users. By evaluating the data obtained, we are able to compile information about the use of the individual components of our website. This helps us to constantly improve our website and its user-friendliness. Our legitimate interest in the processing of the data according to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR also lies in these purposes.

By making the IP address anonymous, the interest of the user in the protection of their personal data is sufficiently taken into account.

This browser plugin tells Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser plug-in is evaluated by Google as a contradiction. If the information technology system of the person concerned is later deleted, formatted or reinstalled, the person concerned must reinstall the browser plug-in in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the person concerned or another person who is attributable to their sphere of influence, there is the possibility of reinstalling or reactivating the browser plug-in.

Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel to only display the Facebook ads we have placed to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products, which are based on the visited website). websites are determined), which we transmit to Facebook (so-called “Custom Audiences”). With the help of the Facebook pixel, we also want to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interests of users and are not annoying. With the help of the Facebook pixel, we can also understand the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called "conversion").

The data collected about you is anonymous to us, so we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the user. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and can be used by Facebook and for its own market research and advertising purposes. If we should transmit data to Facebook for comparison purposes, this will be encrypted locally on the browser and only then sent to Facebook via a secure https connection. This is done solely for the purpose of making a comparison with the data that is similarly encrypted by Facebook.

Furthermore, when using the Facebook pixel, we use the additional function "extended comparison" (here data such as telephone numbers, e-mail addresses or Facebook IDs of the users are used) to form target groups ("Custom Audiences" or "Look Alike Audiences") Facebook (encrypted) transmitted. Further information on "extended matching": https://www.facebook.com/business/help/611774685654668).

Also on the basis of our legitimate interests, we use the "Custom Audiences from File" procedure of the social network Facebook, Inc. In this case, the e-mail addresses of the newsletter recipients are uploaded to Facebook. The upload process is encrypted. The upload serves solely to determine recipients of our Facebook ads. We want to ensure that the ads are only displayed to users who are interested in our information and services.

Accordingly, general information on the display of Facebook ads in Facebook's data usage guidelines: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php.
