We would like to inform you about the collection and use of your personal data in accordance with our legal obligation.
GENERAL
When you use our website, personal data about you is collected. This can be done by you entering the data yourself – e.g. your e-mail address. However, our system also collects data from you automatically, such as your visit to our website. This takes place regardless of the device or software you use to access our website.
Any input of data by you on our website is voluntary; you will not suffer any disadvantages if you do not disclose your data. Without certain data, however, it is not possible for us to provide services or conclude contracts.
On this website, personal data of the user is only collected within the framework of the applicable data protection law, in particular the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The technical terms used in the text are explained in more detail in Art. 4 of the GDPR.
Data processing is permitted under the GDPR in three cases in particular:
According to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a and 7 GDPR, if you have consented to the data processing by us; in each case, we will inform you in advance in this data protection declaration and on the occasion of the consent in accordance with Art. 4 No. 11 GDPR exactly for what purpose and under what circumstances your data will be processed by us;
In accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, if the processing of your personal data is necessary for the initiation, conclusion or execution of a contractual relationship;
In accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, if, after a balancing of interests, the processing is necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests; this includes in particular our interests in analyzing, optimizing and securing the offer on our website – this includes in particular an analysis of user behavior, the creation of profiles for advertising purposes and the storage of access data as well as the use of third-party providers.
AMENDMENT OF THE PRIVACY POLICY
If it becomes necessary to change the privacy policy for legal or factual reasons, we will update this page accordingly. No changes will be made to the consent given by the user.
INVENTORY DATA, USAGE DATA AND ADVERTISING
INVENTORY DATA
We collect inventory data (e.g. name, address and e-mail address, any services used) insofar as they are necessary for the establishment, content or modification of a contractual relationship between us and the user.
Any input of data by you on our website is voluntary; you will not suffer any disadvantages if you do not disclose your data. Without certain data, however, it is not possible for us to provide services or conclude contracts.
USE DATA
We also collect usage data (e.g. visits to the website) in order to enable and bill the user for the use of the services on our website.
We only combine usage data if and insofar as this is necessary for billing purposes. Otherwise, we will only create usage data under a pseudonym and only if you have not objected to this. You can send this objection at any time to the address given in the legal notice or to the controller named in this privacy policy.
The legal basis for this data processing is, on the one hand, our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR in the analysis of the website and your use and, if applicable, the legal permission to store data in the context of the initiation of a contractual relationship pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
Furthermore, each time you use this website, our provider stores information, the so-called server log files, which are automatically transmitted by your browser. These are
Your IP address
Type and version of your browser
host name
Time of visit
The page from which you visited our site
Name of the page accessed
Exact time of the visit and
The amount of data transferred
This data is only used for statistical purposes and does not allow us to identify you as a user.
ADVERTISING
Before sending you advertising, we will ask you for your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 4 No. 11 GDPR, unless it concerns advertising for similar products that you have already purchased. This is done in particular when you give us your consent to send you our newsletter or fill out a contact form.
CONSENT
If we ask you for your consent to process your data, we will inform you in clear and easily accessible language about the cases for which you are giving your consent. Any consent we ask for is voluntary, any benefit you wish to obtain by giving consent can be obtained without consent, just ask us.
For any consent, you have the right to withdraw any consent you have given us to process your personal data at any time. This can be done by sending an informal message, e.g. via our contact form, an email to the email address given in the legal notice or an unsubscribe link (if offered by us). Your revocation does not affect the legality of the data processing carried out up to that point.
STORAGE PERIOD
Your data will only be stored for as long as required for the purpose of the respective data processing. Further storage may be considered in particular if this is still necessary for legal prosecution by us or for our other legitimate interests or if we are required by law to retain your data (e.g. as part of tax retention periods).
When you enter data on our website, whether on a contact form, during registration, logging in or for payment purposes, the web page on which you enter the data is encrypted. This means that third parties cannot read what data you enter. You can recognize the encryption by the lock symbol in your browser and by the fact that the address line begins with “https” instead of just “http”.

However, there are also cookies that are permanently stored on your computer unless you delete them. This enables us to recognize your browser the next time you visit our website and to make you offers that correspond to your previous use of our website.

GOOGLE ANALYTICS
We use the Google Analytics tool from Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94.043 USA as part of our legitimate interest in a technically flawless online offer and its economically efficient design and optimization in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. This allows the use of websites to be analyzed and pseudonymous user profiles to be created from the data. Google uses various techniques for this purpose, including storing cookies on your computer. These store information about the use of our website, which we use to improve our offer.
The data collected by Google is transmitted by Google to countries outside the EU, in particular the USA. Google has submitted to the Privacy Shield Framework, more information on your rights can be found at http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/document/citizens-guide_en.pdf
We have taken additional precautions to ensure adequate protection of your data as far as possible. We anonymize your IP address before transferring it to Google. This is done by activating the Anonymizelp() function within the Google Analytics tracking code.
We have also concluded a contract with Google for commissioned data processing, according to which Google will not merge your data with other data collected by Google in order to determine your identity.
If this is not sufficient for you, you can also download and install Google’s browser plugin to block Google Analytics at http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de, which will block the collection and transfer of your personal data by Google.
You can also prevent the collection by Google Analytics by clicking on the link Deactivate Google Analytics to set an opt-out cookie, which also prevents the collection of your data (see https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gajs/ ).
