Privacy Policy


The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR or DS-GVO; French: Règlement général sur la protection des données RGPD, English: General Data Protection Regulation GDPR) is a European Union regulation that standardizes the rules for the processing of personal data by most data processors, both private and public, across the EU. This is intended to ensure the protection of personal data within the European Union on the one hand, and to guarantee the free movement of data within the European internal market on the other.

The regulation replaces Directive 95/46/EC on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, which dates back to 1995.


Generally:

Thank you for your interest in our website. The protection of your personal data is very important to us. We would therefore like to take this opportunity to inform you about data protection in our company. Of course, we comply with the legal provisions of the Data Protection Act (BDSG), the Telemedia Act (TMG) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

You can trust us with your personal data! It is encrypted using digital security systems and transmitted to us. Our websites and systems are protected by technical measures against damage, destruction or unauthorized access.


Revocation of your consent to data processing

Some data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. To revoke your consent, simply send an informal email. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.


Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

As the person affected, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the responsible supervisory authority in the event of a data protection violation. The responsible supervisory authority for data protection issues is the state data protection officer of the federal state in which our company is based. The following link provides a list of data protection officers and their contact details: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.


Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to third parties. The data will be provided in a machine-readable format. If you request that the data be transferred directly to another responsible party, this will only be done if it is technically feasible.


Right to information, correction, blocking, deletion

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, the origin of the data, its recipients and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction, blocking or deletion of this data. In this regard and for other questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time using the contact options listed in the imprint.


SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us as the website operator, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. This means that data that you transmit via this website cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the "https://" address line in your browser and the lock symbol in the browser line.

Privacy Policy: Website Users

Server log files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files that your browser automatically transmits to us. This is:

Visited page on our domain

Date and time of the server request

Browser type and version

Operating system used

Referrer URL

Hostname of the accessing computer

IP address

This data will not be merged with other data sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data to fulfill a contract or to take pre-contractual measures.


Contact form

Data transmitted via the contact form, including your contact details, will be stored in order to process your request or to be available for follow-up questions. This data will not be passed on without your consent.

The data entered in the contact form is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time. An informal notification by email is sufficient for the revocation. The legality of the data processing operations carried out up to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Data transmitted via the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage or there is no longer any need to store the data. Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.


YouTube

Our website uses YouTube plugins to integrate and display video content. The provider of the video portal is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

When you visit a page with an integrated YouTube plug-in, a connection is established to YouTube's servers. This allows YouTube to know which of our pages you have visited.

YouTube can assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile if you are logged into your YouTube account. You can prevent this by logging out beforehand.

We use YouTube in the interest of presenting our online offerings in an appealing manner. This represents a legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Details on how user data is handled can be found in YouTube’s privacy policy at:https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.


Cookies

Our website uses cookies. These are small text files that your web browser stores on your device. Cookies help us to make our service more user-friendly, effective and secure.

Some cookies are “session cookies.” Such cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your browser session. Other cookies, however, remain on your device until you delete them yourself. Such cookies help us to recognize you when you return to our website.

With a modern web browser, you can monitor, restrict or prevent the setting of cookies. Many web browsers can be configured so that cookies are automatically deleted when the program is closed. Deactivating cookies may result in limited functionality on our website.

The setting of cookies that are necessary for carrying out electronic communication processes or the provision of certain functions you require (e.g. shopping cart) is based on Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of GDPR. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure that our services are technically error-free and run smoothly. If other cookies are set (e.g. for analysis functions), these will be dealt with separately in this data protection declaration.


Google Analytics

Our website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider of the web analysis service is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses "cookies." These are small text files that your web browser stores on your device and enable an analysis of website usage. Information generated by cookies about your use of our website is transmitted to a Google server and stored there. The server location is usually the USA.

Google Analytics cookies are set on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize our website and, if necessary, advertising.


IP anonymization

We use Google Analytics in conjunction with the IP anonymization function. This ensures that Google shortens your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before it is transmitted to the USA. There may be exceptional cases in which Google transmits the full IP address to a server in the USA and shortens it there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.


Browser Plugin

You can prevent cookies from being set by your web browser. However, this may restrict some functions of our website. You can also prevent Google from collecting data about your website usage, including your IP address, and subsequently processing this data. You can do this by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available via the following link:https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.


Objection to data collection

You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set which prevents the collection of your data on future visits to our website: Deactivate Google Analytics.

For details on how Google Analytics handles user data, please see Google’s privacy policy:https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.


Order processing

In order to fully comply with the statutory data protection requirements, we have concluded a contract for order processing with Google.


Demographic characteristics in Google Analytics

Our website uses the “demographic features” function of Google Analytics. This can be used to create reports that contain information about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google and from visitor data from third parties. It is not possible to assign the data to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time. This is possible via the ad settings in your Google account or by generally prohibiting the collection of your data by Google Analytics, as explained in the “Objection to data collection” section.

Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking

Our website uses Google AdWords. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States.

AdWords is an online advertising program. As part of the online advertising program, we work with conversion tracking. After you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that your web browser stores on your device. Google AdWords cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. Google and we can use the cookie to recognize that you have clicked on an ad and were redirected to our website.

Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked via AdWords customer websites. Conversion cookies are used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who use conversion tracking. AdWords customers find out how many users clicked on their ad and were redirected to pages with a conversion tracking tag. However, AdWords customers do not receive any information that enables users to be personally identified. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can object to its use. The conversion cookie must be deactivated in the user settings of the browser. This means that it will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

The storage of “conversion cookies” is based on Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of GDPR. As website operators, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize our website and our advertising.

For details about Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking, please see Google’s privacy policy:https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.

With a modern web browser, you can monitor, restrict or prevent the setting of cookies. Disabling cookies may result in limited functionality on our website.


Google Web Fonts

Our website uses web fonts from Google. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

By using these web fonts, it is possible to present you with the desired display of our website, regardless of which fonts are available to you locally. This is done by retrieving the Google Web Fonts from a Google server in the USA and the associated transfer of your data to Google. This includes your IP address and which page you have visited on our site. The use of Google Web Fonts is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in the optimal display and transmission of our website.

The company Google is certified for the US-European data protection agreement "Privacy Shield". This data protection agreement is intended to ensure compliance with the data protection level applicable in the EU.
