Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke previously granted consent at any time. An informal message by e-mail to us is sufficient for this purpose. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right of objection to data collection in special cases and to direct advertising (Art. 21 of the GDPR)

If the data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. e or f of the GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation, including profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis for processing can be found in this data protection declaration. If you make use of this right to object, we will no longer process your personal data, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (objection under Art. 21 Para. 1 of the GDPR).

If the personal data concerning you are processed for the purpose of direct advertising, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of the personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is connected with such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for the purpose of direct advertising (objection according to Art. 21 Para. 2 of the GDPR).

Right of appeal to the responsible supervisory authority

In the case of infringements of the GDPR, the persons concerned have a right of appeal to a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the suspected infringement. The right of appeal is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to data transferability

You have the right to have data, which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract, handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another data controller, this will only take place as far as it is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or requests that you send to us as the site operator. An encrypted connection can be identified by the address line of the browser changing from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser search bar.

When the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, it is not possible for third parties to read the data you transmit to us.

Information, deletion and correction

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to receive information free of charge at any time about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to correct or delete this data. To do this or if you have any further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us about this at any time at the address given in the imprint. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification time, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is carried out unlawfully, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you do need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data instead of deleting this data.
If you have lodged an objection under Art. 21 Para. 1 of the GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may not be processed, with the exception of their storage, without your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising, or defending rights or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or of a member state.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process (necessary cookies) or to provide certain functions that you have requested (functional cookies, e.g. for the shopping basket function) or to optimise the website (e.g. cookies to measure the web audience) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR, § 25 Para. 2 TTDSG unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of their services.

Cookie consent

Our website uses cookie consent technology to obtain your consent to store certain cookies in your browser and to document these in accordance with data protection regulations.

When you access our website, a cookie is stored in your browser, in which the consents you have given or the revocation of these consents are stored. This data will not be passed on to the provider.

The collected data will be stored until you request that we delete the data or until you delete the cookie itself or until the purpose for which the data is stored no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Cookie content technology is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. c of the GDPR.

Contact form

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact data you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b of the GDPR, insofar as your enquiry is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a of the GDPR), provided that this has been requested.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete the data, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose for which the data was stored no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

5. Analysis tools and advertising

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics uses what are known as "cookies". These are text files which are stored on your computer and which allow an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website will generally be transmitted to and stored at Google on servers in the United States.

If the relevant consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), processing will be carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 letter a of the GDPR, § 25 Para. 2 TTDSG ; consent may be revoked at any time.

IP anonymisation

We have activated the IP anonymisation function on this website. As a result, Google will truncate your IP address within member states of the European Union or other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. By order of the operator, Google will use this information to analyse your use of the website, to compile reports about the website activities, and to render other services related to the use of the website and of the Internet in general to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google.

Browser plugin

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the all functions of this website. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

Opposition to data collection

You can prevent the collection of your data through Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set to prevent the collection of your data when you visit this website in the future: Disable Google Analytics.

You can find more information on how Google Analytics handles user data in the Google privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en.

Order processing

We have concluded a contract with Google for order processing and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Demographics at Google Analytics

This website uses the "demographics" function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be created that contain information about the age, gender and interests of the website visitors. This data is derived from interest-based advertising by Google as well as from visitor data from third parties. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google Account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described in the section "Objection to data collection".

Storage duration

User and event-level data stored at Google that is linked to cookies, user IDs or advertising IDs (e.g. DoubleClick cookies, Android advertising ID) is anonymised or deleted after 14 months. Details can be found under the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=en

Google Tag Manager

This website uses the Google Tag Manager of Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). This service allows website tags to be managed via an interface. The Tag Manager is required for the technical operation, through which the tags are controlled. The legal basis for the use of the Google Tag Manager is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f EU-DS-GVO. The Google Tag Manager only implements tags. This means that no cookies are used and no personal data is collected. The Google Tag Manager triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. However, the Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at domain or cookie level, it remains in place for all tracking tags, insofar as these are implemented with the Google Tag Manager. More information on the Google Tag Manager can be found at the following link: https://support.google.com/tagmanager/answer/9323295?hl=de#
