4. Data Collection on Our Website
Cookies
Some web pages use "cookies". Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies are used to make our site more user-friendly, more effective and more secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
The majority of the cookies that we use are "session cookies". They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser the next time that you visit our site.
You can adjust your browser settings such that you are informed of the use of cookies and they are only permitted on a case-by-case basis. The settings can also be adjusted such that you exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general and such that you activate the automatic deletion of cookies upon the browser being closed. Deactivating cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies that are required in order to carry out the electronic communication process or provide specific functions requested by yourself as a visitor (e.g., the shopping cart function) are saved in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the purpose of providing its services in an optimized way without any technical errors. If other cookies (such as cookies for analyzing your surfing behavior) are stored, this privacy policy will address them separately.
Server Log Files
The website provider automatically collects and saves information in "server log files" that your browser automatically transfers to us. This information includes:
- The browser type and browser version
- The operating system used
- The referrer URL
- The host name of the accessing computer
- The time of server request
- The IP address
This data is not combined with other data sources.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the purpose of fulfilling a contract or pre-contractual measures.
Contact Form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, we store your data from the inquiry form, including the contact data you provided therein, for the purpose of handling your inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We do not forward this data to other parties without your consent.
Data entered into the contact form is therefore processed solely on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. This just requires you to email us an informal notification. The legality of data being processed up until the point that consent is revoked remains unaffected by the revocation.
Any data you have entered into the contact form remains with us until you request that we delete the respective data, you revoke your consent for the data to be stored or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., once we have finished dealing with your inquiry). Mandatory statutory provisions – particularly retention periods – remain unaffected.
Registering with This Website
You can register with our website to use additional features on the site. We use the data entered for this purpose only for the purpose of deploying the respective service for which you have registered. Mandatory information requested during the registration process must be given in full. If this data is not provided in full, we will reject the registration.
If we make significant changes, such as to our range of products or services or in the case of technically necessary modifications, we will use the email address provided during registration in order to inform you of the respective changes via email.
Data entered during the registration process is processed on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). You can revoke consent you have given at any time. This just requires you to email us an informal notification. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data collected during the registration process is saved by us for as long as you are registered with our website and is then deleted. Legal retention periods remain unaffected.
5. Analysis Tools and Advertising
Google Analytics
This website uses features of web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google Analytics uses "cookies". These are text files that are saved on your computer and enable your use of the website to be analyzed. The information generated by the cookie regarding your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and saved to this server.
Google Analytics cookies are saved in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising campaign.
IP Anonymization
We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. Your IP address will therefore be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states that are signatories to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before it is transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to analyze your use of the website, to compile reports regarding website activities and to provide additional services associated with website and Internet use via the website operator. The IP address transmitted from your browser by Google Analytics is not merged with other data by Google.
Browser Plugin
You can prevent cookies from being stored by changing the respective settings of your browser software; however, please note that doing so may prevent you from being able to use all the functions of this website to the full extent possible. You can also prevent the data generated by the cookie related to your use of the website (including your IP address) from being collected by Google and this data from being processed by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
Objection to Data Collection
You can prevent your data from being collected via Google Analytics by clicking the following link. This sets an opt-out cookie that prevents your data from being collected during future visits to this website: Deactivate Google Analytics.
You can find more information on how Google Analytics handles data in Google's privacy policy:https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.
Commissioned Data Processing
We have concluded a contract regarding commissioned data processing with Google and implement the strict requirements of German data protection authorities with regard to the use of Google Analytics to the full extent.
etracker
Our website uses analysis service "etracker". The provider of this service is etracker GmbH, Erste Brunnenstrasse 1, 20459 Hamburg, Germany. The data can be used to create user profiles under a pseudonym. Cookies can be used for this purpose. Cookies are small text files that are stored locally in the cache of your Internet browser. Cookies enable your browser to be recognized. Data collected via etracker technologies will not be used to personally identify visitors to our website and will not be merged with the personal data of the bearer of the pseudonym without the express permission of the data subject.
etracker cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them.
etracker cookies are stored in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the anonymized analysis of user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising campaign.
You can object to your data being collected and stored with future effect at any time. In order to object to your visitor data being collected and stored with future effect, you can obtain an opt-out cookie from etracker at the following link; this opt-out cookie stops etracker from collecting visitor data from your browser and storing this data in the future: https://www.etracker.de/privacy?et=V23Jbb.
In this case, etracker will then set an opt-out cookie called "cntcookie". Please do not delete this cookie if you wish to maintain your objection. You can find further information on this in etracker's privacy policy: https://www.etracker.com/de/datenschutz.html.
Conclusion of a Contract Regarding Commissioned Data Processing
We have concluded a contract regarding commissioned data processing with etracker and implement the strict requirements of German data protection authorities with regard to the use of etracker to the full extent.
6. Newsletter
Newsletter Data
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you as well as information that will enable us to check that you are the owner of the email address provided and agree to receive the newsletter. Additional data is not collected or is collected only on a voluntary basis. We use this data solely for the purpose of sending the information requested and do not pass this data onto third parties.
The data entered into the newsletter registration form is processed solely on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). You can revoke the consent you have given regarding the storage of your data, email address and the use of the email address for the purpose of sending the newsletter at any time via the "Unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected.
We will store the data you have provided us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter until you choose to unsubscribe from the newsletter and will delete the data once the newsletter is canceled. Data saved by us for other purposes (e.g., email addresses for the member's area) remain unaffected by this.
7. Our social media appearances
Data processing through social networks
We maintain publicly available profiles in social networks. The individual social networks we use can be found below.
Social networks such as Facebook, Twitter etc. can generally analyze your user behavior comprehensively if you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g., like buttons or banner ads).
When you visit our social media pages, numerous data protection-relevant processing operations are triggered. In detail:
If you are logged in to your social media account and visit our social media page, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. Under certain circumstances, your personal data may also be recorded if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data is collected, for example, via cookies stored on your device or by recording your IP address.
Using the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which their preferences and interests are stored. This way you can see interest-based advertising inside and outside of your social media presence. If you have an account with the social network, interest-based advertising can be displayed on any device you are logged in to or have logged in to.
Please also note that we cannot retrace all processing operations on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, additional processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. Details can be found in the terms of use and privacy policy of the respective social media portals.
Legal basis
Our social media appearances should ensure the widest possible presence on the Internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on divergent legal bases to be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g., consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).
Responsibility and assertion of rights
If you visit one of our social media sites (e.g., Facebook), we, together with the operator of the social media platform, are responsible for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can in principle protect your rights (information, correction, deletion, limitation of processing, data portability and complaint) vis-à-vis us as well as vis-à-vis the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g., Facebook).
Please note that despite the shared responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options are determined by the company policy of the respective provider.
Storage time
The data collected directly from us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as you ask us to delete it, you revoke your consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses.
Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular, retention periods - remain unaffected.
We have no control over the storage duration of your data that are stored by the social network operators for their own purposes. For details, please contact the social network operators directly (e.g., in their privacy policy, see below).
Individual social networks
We have a profile on Instagram. The provider of this service is Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Data transmission to the US is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) of the European Commission. Details can be found here:
