4. Data collection on our website

Our websites use so-called cookies. Cookies are small text files and do no damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily on your device for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain on your device until you delete them yourself or an automatic solution is implemented by your web browser.

In some instances, cookies from third-party companies can also be stored on your device when you enter our site (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain services of the third-party company (e.g. cookies for statistics). These cookies are stored on your device for 12 months.

Cookies have different functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the showing of videos). Other cookies are used to evaluate user behaviour or to display advertising.

Technically necessary cookies (e.g. shopping cart cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We have a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies in order to provide our services in a technically faultless and optimised manner. Other cookies will only be stored with your consent on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time with future effect. You can also object to the processing of your data by cookie technologies in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR.

First, you can indicate your objection by deactivating the use of cookies via the settings in your browser. Furthermore, you can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies on a case-by-case basis, to exclude cookies for certain cases or in general and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. Deactivating cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Insofar as cookies are used from third-party companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you of this separately in the context of this privacy policy and, if necessary, ask for consent.

These data will not be combined with data from other sources.

These data are collected on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. The website provider has a legitimate interest in the technically faultless presentation and optimisation of its website; for this purpose, it is necessary to collect the server log files.

Request by email, phone or fax

If you contact us by email, phone or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name, request), is only stored and processed by us for the purposes of processing your subject for concern. We will not disclose these data without your permission.

These data are processed on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, provided your request 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 your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR) and / or on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR), as we have a legitimate interest in effectively processing the requests addressed to us.

We will retain the data you provide via contact requests until you ask us to delete them, you revoke your consent for storage or the purpose for their storage is no longer applicable (e. g. after the processing of your subject for concern has been completed). Any mandatory statutory provisions - especially mandatory retention periods - remain unaffected.

In the event of infringements of the GDPR, the persons concerned shall have the right to file complaints with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, workplace or the place of presumed infringement. The right to file complaints exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies. 

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data which we process based on your consent or in fulfilment of a contract automatically delivered to yourself or to a third party in a standard, machine-readable format.

• If the processing of your personal data has taken/is taking place unlawfully, you can request restriction of data processing instead of data deletion.

• If we no longer require your personal data but you do in order to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data instead of data deletion.

• If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR, it is necessary to weigh up your interests against ours. As long as it has not been ascertained whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

7. Analysis tools and advertising

Google Analytics

IP Anonymisation

On this website we have enabled the IP anonymisation feature. Thus, within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area your IP address is shortened by Google before it is transferred to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to analyse your use of the website, compile reports regarding website activity, and provide other services to the website operator related to website usage and Internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the content of Google Analytics will not be combined with other data from Google.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by means of an appropriate setting in your browser software; however, we would like to point out that if you do this, you may not be able to fully utilise all the features of this website. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by cookies and related to your use of the website (incl. your IP address) passing to Google, and the processing of these data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

Order processing

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

Demographic Features of Google Analytics

This website uses the "Demographic Features" function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be generated, which contain statements about the age, gender and interests of visitors to the site. These data come from interest-based advertising from Google and third-party visitor data. These data cannot be attributed to a specific person. You can deactivate this feature at any time by means of the advertisement settings in your Google account, or you can generally forbid the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described in the section "Objection to data collection".

Storage period

8. Plugins and Tools 

YouTube with enhanced privacy

This website integrates videos from YouTube. The site provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in the privacy-enhanced mode. According to YouTube, this mode causes YouTube not to store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. The disclosure of data to YouTube partners is, however, not mandatorily excluded by the privacy-enhanced mode. Thus, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network, regardless of whether you are viewing a video or not.

As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection is established to the YouTube servers. The YouTube server is then informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged in to your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to directly associate your surfing habits with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not wish to be associated with your profile when using YouTube, you must log out before activating the button.

In addition, YouTube can store different cookies on your device once you have started a video. YouTube can use these cookies to gather information about visitors to this website. This information is among other things used to record video statistics, to improve user-friendliness, and to prevent attempted fraud. The cookies remain on your device until you delete them.

Starting a YouTube video may possibly trigger further data processing operations which are beyond our control.

YouTube is used in the interests of making our website appealing. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. If appropriate consent has been requested (e.g. consent to store cookies), the processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.

Further information on privacy at YouTube can be found in their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

OpenStreetMap

We use the map service of OpenStreetMap (OSM). The provider is the Open Street Map Foundation (OSMF), 132 Maney Hill Road, Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, B72 1JU, United Kingdom.

If you visit a website on which OpenStreetMap is integrated, your IP address and further information about your behaviour on this website will among other things be forwarded to the OSMF. To this end, OpenStreetMap possibly saves cookies in your browser. These are text files that are stored on your computer and that allow your website use to be analysed. You can prevent the storage of cookies by means of an appropriate setting in your browser software; however, we would like to point out that if you do this, you may not be able to fully utilise all the features of this website.

Your location can also be recorded if you have allowed this in your device settings, e. g. on your cell phone. The provider of this site has no influence on this transfer of data. Details can be found in the privacy policy of OpenStreetMap under the following link: https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy.

The use of OpenStreetMap is in the interest of making our website appealing and to facilitate locating the places we specify on the website. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. If appropriate consent has been requested (e.g. consent to store cookies), the processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.
