When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data means data that can identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

Please note that data transmission over the internet, for example when communicating by email, may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Unless a more specific storage period is stated in this privacy policy, your personal data remains with us until the purpose of processing no longer applies. If you make a valid request for erasure or withdraw consent to processing, your data will be erased unless we have other legally permissible grounds for retaining it, such as retention periods under tax or commercial law. In that case, erasure takes place once those grounds cease to apply.

General information on the legal bases for processing data on this website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR where special categories of data under Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. If you expressly consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, processing also takes place on the basis of Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you consent to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device, for example through device fingerprinting, processing additionally takes place on the basis of § 25(1) TTDSG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. If your data is required to perform a contract or take pre-contractual steps, we process it on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. We also process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR where necessary to fulfil a legal obligation. Processing may also take place on the basis of our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The following sections of this privacy policy explain the legal bases applicable in each case.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many processing operations are possible only with your express consent. You can withdraw consent already given at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

Right to object to data collection in particular cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA IS PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THOSE PROVISIONS. THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING IS SET OUT IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS THE PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of infringements of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. This right is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract, or have it provided to a third party, in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request direct transfer to another controller, this will be done only where technically feasible.

Access, erasure and rectification

Within the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of processing, and, where applicable, a right to rectification or erasure. You can contact us at any time about this or other questions concerning personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. This right applies in the following cases:

  • If you contest the accuracy of personal data we hold about you, we generally need time to verify it. For the duration of this verification, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data.
  • If your personal data has been or is being processed unlawfully, you may request restriction of processing instead of erasure.
  • If we no longer need your personal data but you need it to exercise, defend or establish legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of erasure.
  • If you have objected under Art. 21(1) GDPR, your interests and ours must be weighed. Until it is determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data.

Where processing has been restricted, your personal data may, apart from storage, be processed only with your consent, for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries you send to us as the website operator, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection when the browser’s address changes from “http://” to “https://” and a padlock icon appears in the address bar.

When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Encrypted payment transactions on this website

If, after entering into a paid contract, you are obliged to provide payment details, such as an account number for a direct debit mandate, this data is required for payment processing.

Payment transactions using common payment methods (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) take place exclusively over an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognise an encrypted connection when the browser’s address changes from “http://” to “https://” and a padlock icon appears in the address bar.

With encrypted communication, your payment details cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to advertising emails

The use of contact details published as part of our legal notice to send advertising and information materials that have not been expressly requested is hereby objected to. The website operators expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising, such as spam emails.

4. Data collection on this website

Cookies

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small data packages that do not harm your device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit. Persistent cookies remain on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser deletes them automatically.

In some cases, cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your device when you enter our website (third-party cookies). These allow us or you to use certain services provided by those companies, such as cookies used to process payment services.

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them, such as a shopping basket or displaying videos. Other cookies serve to analyse user behaviour or display advertising.

Cookies necessary for electronic communications, for providing certain functions you request, such as a shopping basket, or for optimising the website, such as measuring audience figures (necessary cookies), are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR unless another legal basis is stated. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to provide its services without technical errors and in an optimised manner. Where consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of that consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG). Consent may be withdrawn at any time.

You can configure your browser to inform you when cookies are set, allow cookies only in individual cases, reject cookies in certain cases or generally, and enable automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may restrict the functionality of this website.

If cookies from third-party companies or for analytical purposes are used, we will inform you separately within this privacy policy and request consent where required.

Server log files

The web server software we operate automatically collects and stores information in server log files on our server hosted by Hetzner. Your browser automatically transmits this information to us. This includes:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

This data is not combined with other data sources.

This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the technically correct presentation and optimisation of our website, which requires the collection of server log files.

Contact form

If you send us enquiries using the contact form, the information in that form, including the contact details you provide, will be stored by us to process the enquiry and any follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.

Processing takes place on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary for pre-contractual steps. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) where requested. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form remains with us until you request erasure, withdraw your consent to storage or the purpose for storage no longer applies, for example after your enquiry has been fully processed. Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular retention periods, remain unaffected.
