2) Data Collection When Visiting Our Website

2.1 When you use our website purely for informational purposes, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect the data that your browser transmits to our server (so-called “server log files”). When you access our website, we collect the following data, which are technically necessary for us to display the website to you:

  • The website visited
  • Date and time of access
  • Amount of data transmitted (in bytes)
  • Source/reference from which you came to the page
  • Browser used
  • Operating system used
  • IP address used (where applicable, in anonymized form)

The processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6 (1)(f) GDPR based on our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data will not be disclosed or used in any other way. However, we reserve the right to subsequently review the server log files if there are specific indications of unlawful use.

2.2 For security reasons and to protect the transmission of personal data and other confidential content (e.g. orders or inquiries to the controller), this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the character string “https://” and the lock symbol in your browser’s address bar.

3) Hosting & Content Delivery Network

For the hosting of our website and the display of its content, we use a service provider who provides its services either on its own servers or through selected subcontractors exclusively on servers located within the European Union.

All data collected on our website is processed on these servers.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our website visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

4) Cookies

To make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use cookies — small text files that are stored on your device. Some of these cookies are automatically deleted after you close your browser (so-called “session cookies”), while others remain stored on your device for a longer period and allow us to save your site settings (so-called “persistent cookies”). You can find the storage duration of persistent cookies in your browser’s cookie settings overview.

If personal data is also processed by individual cookies used by us, the processing takes place either in accordance with Article 6 (1)(b) GDPR for the performance of a contract, in accordance with Article 6 (1)(a) GDPR if consent has been given, or in accordance with Article 6 (1)(f) GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in ensuring the best possible functionality of the website and a customer-friendly and effective design of the site visit.

You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to decide individually whether to accept them, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases, or in general.

Please note that the functionality of our website may be limited if cookies are not accepted.

5) Contacting Us

When contacting us (for example, via contact form or email), personal data is collected. The specific data collected in the case of a contact form can be seen from the respective form itself. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your inquiry and for the associated technical administration.

The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Article 6 (1)(f) GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Article 6 (1)(b) GDPR.

Your data will be deleted once your inquiry has been fully processed. This is the case when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively resolved and provided that there are no legal retention obligations to the contrary.

6) Tools and Miscellaneous

Cookie Consent Tool

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

The legal bases for the processing of personal data in this context are Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the management of the cookies and similar technologies used, as well as the associated consents.

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

7) Rights of the Data Subject

IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL CEASE PROCESSING THE DATA CONCERNED. HOWEVER, FURTHER PROCESSING MAY BE PERMITTED IF WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR IF THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ESTABLISH, EXERCISE, OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS.

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED BY US FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING PURPOSES. YOU MAY EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.

IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL CEASE PROCESSING THE DATA CONCERNED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES.

8) Duration of Storage of Personal Data

The duration of the storage of personal data is determined based on the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing, and — if applicable — any statutory retention periods (e.g. commercial or tax retention periods).

When personal data is processed on the basis of an explicit consent in accordance with Article 6 (1)(a) GDPR, such data will be stored until you revoke your consent.

If there are statutory retention periods for data that are processed within the framework of legal or quasi-legal obligations on the basis of Article 6 (1)(b) GDPR, these data will be routinely deleted after the expiry of the retention periods, provided that they are no longer required for the performance or initiation of a contract and/or there is no legitimate interest on our part in continued storage.

When personal data is processed on the basis of Article 6 (1)(f) GDPR, such data will be stored until you exercise your right to object in accordance with Article 21 (1) GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

When personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes on the basis of Article 6 (1)(f) GDPR, such data will be stored until you exercise your right to object in accordance with Article 21 (2) GDPR.

Unless otherwise stated in the other information contained in this privacy policy regarding specific processing situations, personal data that has been stored will otherwise be deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
