A. General information on the processing of personal data by us

General legal basis for the processing of personal data

In principle, the following applies to the processing of personal data by us:

  • Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Article 6 (1) (a) of the EU Basic Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.
  • Art. 6 (1) (b) DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.
  • Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 letter c) DSGVO serves as the legal basis.
  • Art. 6 (1) (d) DSGVO serves as the legal basis in the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person necessitate the processing of personal data.
  • If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing.

Data deletion and storage period The personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. In addition, the data may be stored if the European or national legislator has provided for this in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which we are responsible. The data shall also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless it is necessary for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

In concrete terms this means:
If we process personal data on the basis of your consent to data processing (Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter a) of the Basic Data Protection Regulation, DSGVO for short), the processing ends with your revocation unless there is another legal reason for processing the data, which is the case if at the time of revocation we are still entitled to process your data for the purpose of fulfilling the contract or if data processing is necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests (see below in each case).

If, exceptionally, we process the data on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter f) DSGVO) within the framework of a previously carried out weighing, we will save this until the legitimate interest no longer exists, the weighing comes to a different conclusion or you have effectively lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 DSGVO (cf. the optically highlighted "Reference to special right of objection" below).

If we process the data to process the contract, for example because you have placed an order with us, we will store the data until the contract has been finally fulfilled and processed and no further claims can be asserted under the contract, i.e. until the statute of limitations applies. The general limitation period according to § 195 BGB is three (3) years. However, certain claims, such as claims for damages, do not become statute-barred until 30 years have elapsed. If there is justified reason to assume that this is relevant in individual cases, we will store the personal data for this period. The limitation periods mentioned begin at the end of the year (i.e. on 31.12.) in which the claim arose and the creditor becomes aware of the circumstances giving rise to the claim and of the person of the debtor or should have become aware of them without gross negligence.

We would like to point out that we are also subject to statutory storage obligations for tax and accounting reasons. These obligate us to retain certain data, which may also include personal data, for a period of six (6) to ten (10) years as proof of our accounting records. These retention periods take precedence over the above-mentioned deletion obligations. The retention periods also begin at the end of the respective year, i.e. on 31.12. of each year.

Source of personal data:
The personal data processed by us originates primarily from the data subjects themselves, for example by

  • as a user of our website, transmit information, such as the IP address, to our web server via the web browser and the user's technical system,
  • as an interested party, request information material or an offer from us,
  • as a customer place an order with us or conclude a contract with us,
  • as a supplier, supply us with goods as agreed or provide us with services or the like.

Only in very exceptional circumstances may the personal data we process originate from third parties, for example when a person is acting on behalf of a third party.

Konkrete Kategorien, Zwecke und Rechtsgrundlagen für die Verarbeitung personenbezogener Daten
Specific categories, purposes and legal bases for processing personal data:

  • Users of our website
  • Interested parties,
  • customers, and
  • Suppliers.

Depending on the category of data involved, we process personal data for the following purposes and on the basis of the respective legal basis of the Data Protection Basic Regulation (DSGVO):

User data:
Data from users of our website is collected and processed by us in a non-personal manner. An assignment to certain persons is impossible. The IP address is processed exclusively anonymously. If, in exceptional cases, personal data is concerned, we process it to safeguard our legitimate interests on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interests in this sense are: Interest in the security and integrity of our web presence and the data on our web server (in particular fault and error detection and tracking of unauthorised access), interest in marketing and interest in statistical surveys to improve our web presence and our services. In the course of a weighing we have come to the conclusion that data processing is necessary to safeguard the aforementioned legitimate interests and that your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms, which require the protection of personal data, do not prevail.

Data of interested parties/data of press representatives:
As far as we process data of prospective customers of our services, this only happens if you enter this data in an input field or by e-mail for the purpose of the inquiry and send it to us. These entries are voluntary for you. We will then process these data exclusively for the purpose of processing your enquiry to us. The processing of this data voluntarily transmitted to us for the purpose of providing information about our services takes place as a pre-contractual transaction pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter b) DSGVO and, in addition, on the basis of the consent you have given by transmission pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter a) DSGVO.

Customer data:
The collection and processing of the user's e-mail address serves to deliver the newsletter. The collection of first names and surnames serves to address the user personally within the newsletter. We use the e-mail address for advertising purposes. The collection of other personal data as part of the registration process serves to prevent misuse of the services or the e-mail address used.

Supplier data:
We process the data of our customers for the purpose of contract execution in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter b) DSGVO and/or on the basis of consent granted in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter a) DSGVO. This also applies to processing operations which are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures (e.g. within the framework of the preparation and negotiation of offers).

Recipients or categories of recipients of the personal data :
Your personal data will only be passed on to third parties or otherwise transmitted if this is necessary for the purpose of processing the contract (e.g. processing an order or an order) or for billing purposes (e.g. processing the payment process when purchasing goods or services) or if you have given your prior effective consent.

Categories of recipients can therefore be:

  • Shipping service providers, suppliers
  • Payment service providers, banks

Data processing for newsletters:
It is possible to subscribe to a free newsletter on our website or as part of a request to us. When you subscribe to the newsletter, the data from the input mask will be transmitted to us. These are

  • The e-mail address, as well as
  • Your first and last name (so that we can address you personally). The following data will also be collected when you register for the newsletter:
  • the IP address of the user, as well as
  • Date and time of registration.

This serves to prevent misuse of the services or the e-mail address of the person concerned.
Your consent will be obtained for the processing of your data during the registration process and reference will be made to this data protection declaration. 
The registration to our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that you will receive an e-mail after registration in which you will be asked to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that nobody can register with external e-mail addresses.
If you purchase goods or services on our website and enter your e-mail address, we may subsequently use it to send you a newsletter. In such a case, the newsletter will only send direct advertising for our own similar goods or services.
The data will not be passed on to third parties. An exception exists if there is a legal obligation to pass on the data. The data will be used exclusively for the dispatch of the newsletter.

Purpose of the data processing:
The collection and processing of the user's e-mail address serves to deliver the newsletter. The collection of first names and surnames serves to address the user personally within the newsletter. We use the e-mail address for advertising purposes. The collection of other personal data as part of the registration process serves to prevent misuse of the services or the e-mail address used.

Legal basis for data processing:
The legal basis for the processing of data by the user after registration for the newsletter is Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter a) DSGVO if the user has given his consent. The legal basis for the dispatch of the newsletter as a result of the sale of goods or services is § 7 para. 3 UWG.

Duration of storage:
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. The user's e-mail address and his first and last name will therefore be stored as long as the newsletter subscription is active. All other personal data collected during the registration process will generally be deleted after a period of seven days.

Possibility of opposition and removal:
The subscription of the newsletter can be cancelled by the user at any time free of charge and without form. For this purpose there is a corresponding link in every newsletter. This also enables the revocation of the consent to the storage of personal data collected during the registration process. Please also note the additional possibilities and information regarding our mail order service provider MailChimp in the following paragraphs.

Use of the "MailChimp" dispatch service provider:
The newsletter is sent via "MailChimp", a newsletter distribution platform of the US provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA. The e-mail addresses of our newsletter recipients, as well as their other data described in this newsletter information, are stored on the servers of MailChimp in the USA. MailChimp uses this information to send and evaluate newsletters on our behalf. In addition, MailChimp may use this information to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. for technical optimization of the dispatch and display of the newsletter or for economic purposes, to determine from which countries the recipients come. However, MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them or pass them on to third parties.

However, MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them or pass them on to third parties.

Online access and data management:
There are cases in which we direct the newsletter recipients to the MailChimp websites. For example, our newsletters contain a link with which the newsletter recipients can call up the newsletters online (e.g. in the case of display problems in the e-mail program). Furthermore, newsletter recipients can subsequently correct their data, such as the e-mail address. Likewise, the privacy policy of MailChimp is only available on their site. In this context, we would like to point out that cookies are used on the MailChimp websites and that personal data is processed by MailChimp, its partners and service providers (e.g. Google Analytics). We have no influence on this data collection. Further information can be found in MailChimp's privacy policy. In addition, we draw your attention to the possibilities of objection to the data collection for advertising purposes on the websites www.aboutads.info/choices/ and www.youronlinechoices.com (for the European area).

B. Scope of the processing of personal data on the website:
We collect and use personal data of the users in the context of the use of our website only as far as this is necessary for the provision of a functional website as well as our contents and services. The collection and use of personal data of our users generally only takes place with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases in which it is not possible to obtain prior consent for actual reasons and/or the processing of the data is permitted by statutory provisions.

Provision of the website and creation of log files:
For technical reasons, our system automatically collects data and information each time the website is accessed. These are stored in the log files of the server. This is the case.

  • Date and time of access,
  • URL (address) of the referring website (referrer),
  • Web pages that are accessed by the user's system via our website,
  • Web pages that are accessed by the user's system via our website,
  • retrieved file(s),
  • Amount of data sent,
  • the Internet service provider of the user,
  • Browser, browser type and browser version, browser engine, and browser engine version,
  • Operating system, operating system version, operating system type, and
  • the IP address and Internet service provider of the user.

This data is processed separately from other data. These data are not processed together with other personal data of the user. It is not possible for us to assign this data to a specific person.

purposes of data processing:
The temporary processing of data by the system is necessary in order to enable the contents of our website to be delivered to the user's computer. For this purpose, the IP address of the user must remain stored for the duration of the session. The data is stored in log files to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data serve us to optimise our offer and the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.

Legal basis for data processing:
The temporary storage of the data and the log files takes place on the basis of the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 letter f) DSGVO. Our predominant legitimate interest in this data processing lies in the aforementioned purposes.

Duration of storage:
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. In the case of the collection of data for the purpose of providing the website, this is the case when the session in question has ended. If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. A storage going beyond this is possible. In this case the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible. 

Possibility of opposition and removal:
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is mandatory for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility for the user to object. 

Contact form and e-mail contact
A contact form is available on our website, which can be used for electronic contacting. If a user takes this opportunity, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored. These data are:  

  • Name and surname,
  • E-mail address,
  • Your message to us. 

At the time the message is sent, the following data will also be stored:

  • The IP address of the user,
  • Date and time of dispatch.

Your consent will be obtained for the processing of the data as part of the sending process and at the same time our legitimate interest in data processing will be pointed out. You will be informed again about the data processing and referred to this privacy policy.

Alternatively, you can contact us via the e-mail address provided. In this case, the personal data of the user transmitted with the e-mail will be stored.

The data will not be passed on to third parties in this context. The data will be used exclusively for the processing of the conversation.

purposes of data processing:
The processing of the personal data from the input mask serves us exclusively for the processing of the establishment of contact. In case of contacting us by e-mail, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data. The other personal data processed during the sending process serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.  

Legal basis for data processing:
The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 letter a) DSGVO if the user has given his consent. The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6 para. 1 letter f) DSGVO. If the purpose of the e-mail contact is to conclude a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 letter b) DSGVO.  

Duration of storage:
The data are deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose of their collection. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is terminated when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the relevant facts have been conclusively clarified. The additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted after a period of seven days at the latest.  

Possibility of objection and removal:
The user has the possibility to revoke his consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by e-mail, he can object to the storage of his personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued. The revocation of the consent and the contradiction of the storage are made possible by informal communication to us (e.g. by e-mail). All personal data stored in the course of contacting us will be deleted in this case.  

Use of cookies
When calling up individual pages, we use so-called cookies. These are small text files that are stored on the end device (PC, Smartphone, Tablet etc.) of the user. When a user calls up a website, a cookie can be stored on the user's operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic string of characters that enables the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is called up again.

Cookies from third parties may also be used. If this is the case, we will inform you of this in this data protection notice separately in the information about the respective third-party tools (such as analysis tools).
When calling up our website, the user is informed about the use of cookies for analysis purposes and his consent to the processing of the personal data used in this combination is obtained. In this context, reference is also made to this data protection declaration.

Purpose of the data processing:
The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of websites for the user. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For these it is necessary that the browser is recognized also after a page change. The user data collected by technically necessary cookies are not used to create user profiles. Analysis cookies are used for the purpose of improving the quality of our website and its content. The analysis cookies tell us how the website is used and enable us to continually optimise our services.

Legal basis for data processing:
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 letter f) DSGVO, i.e. a predominantly legitimate interest on our part. Our legitimate interest lies in the above-mentioned purposes.

Duration of storage, possibility of objection and removal:
Some of the cookies we use are deleted after the end of the browser session, i.e. after closing your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your end device and enable us or our partner companies to recognize your browser on your next visit (permanent cookies). Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted to our site by the user. Therefore, you as a user have full control over the use of cookies. You can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. Such a "do-not-track" setting of your browser is understood by us as a contradiction to the further collection and use of your personal data. Note: If cookies are deactivated for our website, it is possible that not all functions of the website can be used to the full extent.

Use of the analysis tool Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site.

We would like to point out that on this website Google Analytics has been extended by the code "anonymizeIp" in order to guarantee an anonymous recording of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). By activating IP anonymisation on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google.

Further information on terms of use and data protection can be found at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html and https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/.

Purpose of the data processing:
The analysis tool or analysis cookies are used to improve the quality of our website and its content. This enables us to find out how the website is used and to continually optimise our services. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

Legal basis for data processing:
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies is Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO, which is a predominantly legitimate interest on our part. Our legitimate interest lies in the above-mentioned purposes. The company Google Inc. has joined the "EU-US-Privacy Shield", so that the transfer of data to the USA is permitted.

Duration of storage:
The cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted to our website by the user. Therefore, you as the user have full control over the use of cookies. You can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. This can also be done automatically. Such a "do-not-track" setting of your browser is understood by us as a contradiction to the further collection and use of your personal data. Note: If cookies are deactivated for our website, it is possible that not all functions of the website can be used to the full extent.

Possibility of objection and removal:
You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and Google from processing this data by clicking on the following link

(http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de) download and install the available browser plugin. You can prevent Google Analytics from capturing your data by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie is set to prevent your data from being collected in the future when you visit this website.

Privacy policy for the privacy-compliant integration of the Facebook Like button

Variant 1: Integration using the two-click method
This website uses Facebook Social Plugins, which are provided by Facebook Inc. (1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA). The embeddings are recognizable by the Facebook logo or by the terms "like", "like", "share" in the colors Facebooks (blue and white). Information about all Facebook plugins can be found in the following link: developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/ The plugins are not activated until you click on the corresponding buttons. If they are grayed out, the plugins are inactive. You can activate the plugins once or permanently.
The plugins establish a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook servers. This only takes place after the plugin has been activated. The website operator has no influence whatsoever on the nature and extent of the data that the plugin transmits to the Facebook Inc. servers. You can find more information here:
www.facebook.com/help/186325668085084 The plugin informs Facebook Inc. that you have visited this website as a user. It is possible that your IP address will be saved. If you are logged into your Facebook account during your visit to this website, this information is linked to this account.

Variant 2: Direct linking of the "like page"
This website links to a "like page" of Facebook at the end of each page. By clicking on this link, you leave this website and establish a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook servers.

Privacy policy for the use of Xing
The "XING Share Button" is used on this website. When you access this website, your browser establishes a short-term connection to servers of XING SE ("XING") that provide the "XING Share Button" functions (in particular the calculation/display of the meter value). XING does not store any personal data about you when you access this website. In particular, XING does not store any IP addresses.

Website encryption

The website and thus the data transmissions via it are encrypted according to the SSL standard using the https protocol.

Transfer of personal data to a third country (EU foreign country)
The intention is to transmit personal data to the United States of America (USA). There is an adequacy decision of the EU Commission which states that personal data may be transferred to the US if the recipient has joined the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield. The personal data will therefore only be transferred to recipients in the US who can prove that they have acceded to the EU-US Privacy Shield.

The intention refers specifically to a data transfer to the following companies:

    Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). as provider of the web analysis tool Google Analytics.
    Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA as provider of the newsletter mailing tool MailChimp.

The aforementioned companies have joined the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield and have subjected themselves to a regulation comparable to the EU data protection level. Data transmission to these companies is therefore generally permitted. Moreover, in the case of order processing with these companies, corresponding order processing contracts have been concluded to secure the data and our rights to issue instructions.

C. RIGHTS AFFECTED
If personal data is processed by you, you are "affected" and you have the following rights against us as responsible:

Right to information
You have the right to receive confirmation from us free of charge as to whether we are processing personal data concerning you. If this is the case, then you have the right to information about this personal data and to further information, which you can find in Art. 15 DSGVO. You can contact us by post or e-mail.

Right to correction
You have the right to demand from us immediately the correction of incorrect personal data concerning you. You also have the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data - also by means of a supplementary declaration - taking into account the aforementioned processing purposes. You can contact us by post or e-mail.

Right to deletion
You have the right to demand the immediate deletion of the personal data concerning you if one of the requirements of Art. 17 DSGVO is met. You can contact us by post or e-mail.

Right to limitation of processing
You have the right to demand that we restrict processing if one of the requirements of Art. 18 DSGVO applies. You can contact us by post or e-mail.

Right to information
If you have exercised your right to rectify, cancel or limit the processing of your personal data against the controller, the latter is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of such rectification, cancellation or limitation, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. You have the right to be informed of such recipients by the data controller.

Right to data transfer
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you which you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format and you have the right to transfer this data to another responsible person without any hindrance on our part if the requirements of Art. 20 DSGVO are met. You can contact us by post or e-mail.

Right of objection in case of processing due to our legitimate interest
If we exceptionally process personal data on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter f) DSGVO (i.e. because of legitimate interests), you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data by us at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. If we cannot prove any compelling reasons worthy of protection for further processing which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or if we process the relevant data from you for the purpose of direct marketing, we will no longer process your data (cf. Art. 21 DSGVO). You can contact us by post or e-mail. A technical procedure that you use, e.g. clear technical information that your web browser transmits to us ("Do-Not-Track" message), also counts as a contradiction in this sense.

Right of revocation with given consent
You have the right to revoke your consent to the collection and use of personal data at any time with effect for the future. You can contact us by post or e-mail. This does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation.

Automated decision making including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to any decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that has any legal effect on you or similarly significantly affects you. Unless the decision is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and us, it is permissible by law of the Union or of the Member States to which we are subject, and such law contains reasonable measures to protect your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, or the decision is made with your express consent. Such automated decision making does not take place through us.

Voluntary provision of data
If the provision of personal data is required by law or contract, we will always point this out when collecting the data. In some cases, the data collected by us is necessary for the conclusion of a contract, i.e. if we could otherwise not fulfil our contractual obligation towards you or could not fulfil it sufficiently. There is no obligation for you to provide personal data. However, the non-availability can lead to the fact that we cannot carry out or offer a service, action, measure or similar desired by you or that a conclusion of a contract with you is not possible.

Right of appeal to a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other rights, you have the right at any time to complain to a data protection supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State in which you reside, your place of work or the place where the alleged infringement occurred, if you consider that the processing of your personal data is in breach of data protection law.
