Purposes of Data Processing by the Responsible Entity and Third Parties

We process your personal data only for the purposes stated in this privacy policy. Your personal data will not be transmitted to third parties for purposes other than those stated. We only disclose your personal data to third parties if:

• You have given your express consent (Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR);
• Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you (Art. 6 para. 1 b) GDPR);
• Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation (Art. 6 para. 1 c) GDPR);
• or processing is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR) and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in not disclosing your data.

Deletion or Blocking of Data

We adhere to the principles of data minimization and data economy. We therefore store your personal data only for as long as necessary to achieve the purposes stated here or as required by the various retention periods provided by law. After the respective purpose ceases to apply or these periods expire, the corresponding data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with statutory provisions.

Collection of General Information When Visiting Our Website

When you access our website, information of a general nature is automatically collected by means of a cookie. This information (server log files) includes the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet service provider, and similar data. This is exclusively information that does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person.

This information is technically necessary to correctly deliver content from websites you have requested and is mandatory when using the Internet. It is processed in particular for the following purposes:

• Ensuring a problem-free connection to the website,
• Ensuring smooth use of our website,
• Evaluation of system security and stability, and
• for other administrative purposes.

Anonymous information of this kind may be statistically evaluated by us to optimize our website and the underlying technology.

Cookies

To manage the cookies and similar technologies used (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) and related consents, we use the consent tool “Real Cookie Banner”. Details on how “Real Cookie Banner” works can be found at https://devowl.io/de/rcb/datenverarbeitung/.

The legal bases for processing personal data in this context are Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the management of the cookies and similar technologies used and the related consents.

The provision of personal data is neither contractually required nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the personal data. If you do not provide the personal data, we cannot manage your consents.

Retention Period

Unless a more specific retention period has been stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing ceases to apply. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will occur after these reasons cease to apply.

Analysis Tool – Matomo

This website uses the open source web analytics service Matomo. Matomo uses technologies that enable cross-page recognition of the user for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Matomo about the use of this website is stored on our server. The IP address is anonymized before storage.

With the help of Matomo, we are able to collect and analyze data about the use of our website by website visitors. This enables us to determine, among other things, when which page views were made and from which region they originate. We also collect various log files (e.g., IP address, referrer, browsers and operating systems used) and can measure whether our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g., clicks, purchases, etc.).

The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its web offering and its advertising. If appropriate consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and Section 25 para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s terminal device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent may be revoked at any time.

IP Anonymization with Matomo

When analyzing with Matomo, we use IP anonymization. Your IP address is shortened before analysis so that it can no longer be clearly attributed to you.

Provision of Fee-Based Services

To provide fee-based services, we request additional data from you, such as payment information, in order to execute your order. We store this data in our systems until the statutory retention periods have expired.

SSL Encryption

To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use encryption methods in accordance with the current state of the art (e.g., SSL) via HTTPS.

Newsletter

Based on your express consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR, we regularly send you our newsletter or comparable information by email to the email address you have provided.

Providing your email address is sufficient to receive the newsletter. When you register to receive our newsletter, the data you provide will be used exclusively for this purpose. Subscribers may also be informed by email of circumstances relevant to the service or registration (for example, changes to the newsletter offering or technical matters).

For valid registration, we require a valid email address. To verify that a registration is actually made by the owner of an email address, we use the “double opt-in” procedure. We log the newsletter order, the sending of a confirmation email, and the receipt of the response requested thereby. No further data is collected. The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter and is not disclosed to third parties.

You may revoke your consent to the storage of your personal data and its use for sending the newsletter at any time. Each newsletter contains a corresponding link for this purpose. You may also unsubscribe directly on this website at any time or communicate your request to us via the contact option provided at the end of this privacy notice.

Google Maps

This site uses the Google Maps mapping service. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transmission.
The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here
The use of Google Maps is based exclusively on your consent, and thus on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; consent may be revoked at any time.
More information on the handling of user data can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de

We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy so that it always complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy, e.g., when introducing new services. The new privacy policy will then apply to your next visit.
