When you access our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display the website to you:

3) Cookies

To make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use so-called cookies on various pages. These are small text files that are stored on your end device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted after the end of the browser session, i.e., after you close your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your end device and enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit (so-called persistent cookies). If cookies are set, they collect and process certain user information to an individual extent, such as browser and location data, as well as IP address values. Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie. You can find the duration of the respective cookie storage in the overview of your web browser’s cookie settings.

In some cases, cookies serve to simplify the ordering process by storing settings (e.g., remembering the contents of a virtual shopping cart for a later visit to the website). If personal data is also processed by individual cookies used by us, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR either for the performance of the contract, in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR in the case of granted consent, or in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR to protect our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website and a customer-friendly and effective design of the website visit.

4) Contacting Us

When you contact us (e.g., via contact form or email), personal data is collected. Which data is collected in the case of using a contact form is evident from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of answering your request or for contacting you and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for the processing of this data is our legitimate interest in answering your request in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If your contact aims at concluding a contract, an additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your inquiry. This is the case when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter concerned has been conclusively clarified and provided that no statutory retention obligations conflict with this.

5) Data Processing When Opening a Customer Account and for Contract Fulfillment

In accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, personal data will continue to be collected and processed if you provide it to us for the performance of a contract or when opening a customer account. Which data is collected is evident from the respective input forms. Your customer account can be deleted at any time by sending a message to the aforementioned address of the controller. We store and use the data you provide for contract processing. After complete processing of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be blocked with regard to tax and commercial law retention periods and deleted after these periods have expired, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or further data use permitted by law has been reserved by us.

6) Use of Customer Data for Direct Marketing

6.1 Registration for Our Email Newsletter

If you register for our email newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers. The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your email address. Providing further data is voluntary and will be used to address you personally. For sending the newsletter, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that we will only send you an email newsletter if you have expressly confirmed to us that you consent to receive newsletters. We will then send you a confirmation email asking you to confirm by clicking on a corresponding link that you wish to receive the newsletter in the future.

By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent for the use of your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. When registering for the newsletter, we store your IP address registered by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration, in order to be able to trace any possible misuse of your email address at a later date. The data collected by us during newsletter registration is used exclusively for the purpose of promotional communication via the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the designated link in the newsletter or by sending a corresponding message to the controller mentioned at the beginning. After unsubscribing, your email address will be immediately deleted from our newsletter distribution list, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to further data use permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.

6.2 Sending Email Newsletters to Existing Customers

If you have provided us with your email address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for similar goods or services from our range, such as those already purchased, via email. For this, we do not need to obtain separate consent from you in accordance with § 7 para. 3 UWG. Data processing in this respect is based solely on our legitimate interest in personalized direct marketing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If you initially objected to the use of your email address for this purpose, we will not send emails. You are entitled to object to the use of your email address for the aforementioned advertising purpose at any time with effect for the future by sending a message to the controller mentioned at the beginning. For this, you will only incur transmission costs at the basic rates. Upon receipt of your objection, the use of your email address for advertising purposes will be immediately discontinued.

6.3 Advertising by Mail

Based on our legitimate interest in personalized direct marketing, we reserve the right to store your first and last name, your postal address and – insofar as we have received this additional information from you within the framework of the contractual relationship – your title, academic degree, your year of birth, and your professional, industry, or business designation in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR and to use them for sending interesting offers and information about our products by mail.

You can object to the storage and use of your data for this purpose at any time by sending a corresponding message to the controller.

7) Data Processing for Inquiry Handling

To process your inquiry, we work with the following service provider(s) who support us fully or partially in the execution of concluded contracts. Certain personal data will be transmitted to these service providers in accordance with the following information.

The personal data collected by us will be passed on to the transport company commissioned with the delivery as part of contract processing, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of the goods. We pass on your payment data to the commissioned credit institution as part of payment processing, provided this is necessary for payment processing. If payment service providers are used, we will explicitly inform you about this below. The legal basis for the transfer of data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

8) Use of Social Media: Videos

Use of YouTube Videos

This website uses the YouTube embedding function for displaying and playing videos from the provider “YouTube”, which belongs to Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).

The extended data protection mode is used here, which, according to the provider, only initiates the storage of user information when the video(s) are played. If the playback of embedded YouTube videos is started, the provider “YouTube” uses cookies to collect information about user behavior. According to “YouTube”, these serve, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent abusive actions. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly associated with your account when you click on a video. If you do not wish for this association with your profile on YouTube, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of Google’s legitimate interests in displaying personalized advertising, market research, and/or tailoring its website to meet needs. You have a right to object to the creation of these user profiles, for the exercise of which you must contact YouTube. In the context of using YouTube, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.

Regardless of whether embedded videos are played, a connection to the Google network is established with every visit to this website, which can trigger further data processing operations beyond our control.

Further information on data protection at “YouTube” can be found in the YouTube Terms of Service at https://www.youtube.com/static?template=terms and in Google’s Privacy Policy at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

Insofar as legally required, we have obtained your consent for the data processing described above in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your given consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, deactivate this service in the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website.

9) Web Analytics Services

Google (Universal) Analytics

This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”). Google (Universal) Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, which are text files stored on your end device that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including the truncated IP address) is usually transmitted to a Google server and stored there; this may also involve a transmission to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.

This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics exclusively with the “_anonymizeIp()” extension, which ensures the anonymization of the IP address by truncation and excludes direct personal identifiability. Through the extension, your IP address is truncated 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 transmitted to a Google LLC server in the USA and truncated there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities, and to provide us with further services related to website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google (Universal) Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Google Analytics also enables, via a special function, the so-called “demographic characteristics”, the creation of statistics with statements about the age, gender, and interests of website visitors based on an evaluation of interest-based advertising and with the inclusion of third-party information. This allows for the definition and differentiation of website user groups for the purpose of target-group-optimized alignment of marketing measures. However, data sets collected via the “demographic characteristics” cannot be assigned to a specific person.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of Google Analytics cookies for reading information on the end device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Without this consent, Google Analytics will not be used during your visit to the site.

You can revoke your given consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please deactivate this service in the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website. We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google for the use of Google Analytics, which obliges Google to protect the data of our website visitors and not to pass it on to third parties.

For the transfer of data from the EU to the USA, Google relies on so-called Standard Contractual Clauses of the European Commission, which are intended to ensure compliance with the European data protection level in the USA.

10) Tools and Miscellaneous

Cookie Consent Tool

This website uses a cookie consent tool to obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications requiring consent. By integrating this tool, users are shown a banner when visiting the page, allowing them to give consent for specific cookies and/or cookie-based applications by checking a box. The tool ensures that all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded once the respective user has given their consent by checking the box.

11) Data Subject Rights

11.1 The applicable data protection law grants you comprehensive data subject rights (rights of access and intervention) with regard to the processing of your personal data by the controller, about which we inform you below:

– Right of access according to Art. 15 GDPR: In particular, you have the right to obtain information about your personal data processed by us, the purposes of processing, the categories of personal data processed, the recipients or categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period or the criteria for determining the storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection to processing, complaint to a supervisory authority, the origin of your data if it was not collected from you by us, the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, and, if applicable, meaningful information about the logic involved and the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for you, as well as your right to be informed about the safeguards under Art. 46 GDPR when your data is transferred to third countries;

– Right to rectification according to Art. 16 GDPR: You have the right to obtain without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you and/or the completion of incomplete personal data stored by us;

– Right to erasure according to Art. 17 GDPR: You have the right to demand the erasure of your personal data if the conditions of Art. 17 (1) GDPR are met. However, this right does not exist, in particular, if processing is necessary for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims;

– Right to restriction of processing according to Art. 18 GDPR: You have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data as long as the accuracy of your data, which you dispute, is being verified, if you refuse the erasure of your data due to unlawful data processing and instead request the restriction of the processing of your data, if you need your data for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims after we no longer need this data for the purpose for which it was collected, or if you have lodged an objection for reasons relating to your particular situation, as long as it has not yet been determined whether our legitimate grounds override yours;

– Right to notification according to Art. 19 GDPR: If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to communicate this rectification or erasure of data or restriction of processing to all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. You have the right to be informed about these recipients.

– Right to withdraw consent according to Art. 7 (3) GDPR: You have the right to withdraw consent to the processing of data at any time with effect for the future. In the event of withdrawal, we will immediately erase the data concerned, unless further processing can be based on a legal ground for processing without consent. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal;

– Right to lodge a complaint according to Art. 77 GDPR: If you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, your place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

11.2 Right to object

If we process your personal data based on our overriding legitimate interest as part of a balancing of interests, you have the right to object to this processing at any time with effect for the future, on grounds relating to your particular situation.

If you exercise your right to object, we will cease processing the data concerned. However, further processing remains reserved if we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms, or if the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

If your personal data is processed by us for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing.

You can exercise your right to object as described above. If you exercise your right to object, we will cease processing the data concerned for direct marketing purposes.

12) Duration of storage of personal data

The duration of the storage of personal data is determined by the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing, and – if applicable – additionally by the respective statutory retention period (e.g., commercial and tax law retention periods).

When personal data is processed based on explicit consent according to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR, this data is stored until the data subject withdraws their consent.

If statutory retention periods exist for data processed within the scope of legal or quasi-legal obligations based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, this data will be routinely erased after the retention periods have expired, provided it is no longer necessary for contract fulfillment or initiation and/or we no longer have a legitimate interest in further storage.

When personal data is processed based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, this data is stored until the data subject exercises their right to object according to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

When personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, this data is stored until the data subject exercises their right to object according to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.

Unless otherwise stated in other information in this declaration regarding specific processing situations, stored personal data will otherwise be erased when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
