3. Data Collection on Our Website

Cookies

Our website uses cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit.

You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to accept cookies in certain cases or to generally reject them, and to automatically delete cookies when you close your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Cookies that are necessary for carrying out electronic communication processes or for providing certain functions you have requested (e.g., the shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Any other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your browsing behavior) are addressed separately in this privacy policy.

The provider of these pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. This includes:

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

This data is not combined with other data sources.

The legal basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or for taking steps prior to entering into a contract.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via our contact form, your information from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.

The processing of the data entered into the contact form is therefore based solely on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal notification by email to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Registration on this Website

You can register on our website to use additional features. We use the data you enter for this purpose only for the use of the respective offer or service for which you registered. The mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise, we will reject your registration.

For important changes, such as changes to the scope of services or technically necessary modifications, we will use the email address you provided during registration to inform you.

The processing of the data entered during registration is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time. An informal notification by email to us is sufficient. The lawfulness of the data processing already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data collected during registration will be stored by us as long as you are registered on our website and will then be deleted. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Processing of data (customer and contract data)

We collect, process, and use personal data only to the extent necessary for establishing, defining the content of, or amending the contractual relationship (inventory data). This is done on the basis of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures. We collect, process, and use personal data relating to the use of our website (usage data) only to the extent necessary to enable the user to access the service or for billing purposes.

The collected customer data will be deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Data transfer upon conclusion of a contract for services and digital content

We only transfer personal data to third parties if this is necessary for the execution of the contract, for example, to the bank commissioned with processing the payment.

Further transfer of data does not take place, or only if you have expressly consented to the transfer. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent, for example, for advertising purposes.

The legal basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or for taking steps prior to entering into a contract.

Facebook Plugins (Like & Share Button)

Our website uses plugins from the social network Facebook, provided by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA. You can recognize the Facebook plugins by the Facebook logo or the “Like” button on our site. An overview of the Facebook plugins can be found here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.

Google+ Plugin

Our pages use features of Google+. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Collection and sharing of information: You can publish information worldwide using the Google+ button.

Your +1s may be displayed as endorsements along with your profile name and photo in Google services, such as in search results or in your Google profile, or in other places on websites and ads on the internet.

Google records information about your +1 activity to improve Google services for you and others. To use the Google +1 button, you need a globally visible, public Google profile that includes at least the name you chose for the profile. This name will be used across all Google services. In some cases, this name may also replace a different name you used when sharing content via your Google account. Your Google profile identity may be visible to users who know your email address or have other identifying information about you.

Use of collected information: In addition to the uses described above, the information you provide will be used in accordance with the applicable Google Privacy Policy. Google may publish aggregated statistics about users’ +1 activity or share them with users and partners, such as publishers, advertisers, or connected websites.

5. Analytics Tools and Advertising

Google Analytics

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

The storage of Google Analytics cookies 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 website and its advertising.

IP Anonymization

We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. This means that your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be 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 will not be merged with other Google data.

Data Processing Agreement

We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google and fully comply with the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Demographic Characteristics in Google Analytics

This website uses the “demographic characteristics” feature of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be generated that contain information about the age, gender, and interests of website visitors. This data comes from Google’s interest-based advertising and from third-party visitor data. This data cannot be attributed to any specific individual. You can deactivate this feature at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described in the section “Objection to Data Collection.”

Google AdSense

This website uses Google AdSense, a service for integrating advertisements from Google Inc. (“Google”). The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

The information generated by cookies and web beacons about your use of this website (including your IP address) and the delivery of advertising formats is transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. This information may be shared by Google with its partners. However, Google will not combine your IP address with other data stored by you.

Google Analytics Remarketing

Our websites use the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing in conjunction with the cross-device capabilities of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

This feature allows you to link advertising audiences created with Google Analytics Remarketing to the cross-device features of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. This way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages, tailored to you based on your previous usage and browsing behavior on one device (e.g., mobile phone), can also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g., tablet or PC).

If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history to your Google account for this purpose. This allows the same personalized advertising messages to be displayed on any device where you sign in with your Google account.

To support this feature, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated user IDs, which are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create audiences for cross-device advertising.

You can permanently opt out of cross-device remarketing/targeting by disabling personalized advertising in your Google account. Follow this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.

The aggregation of collected data in your Google account is based solely on your consent, which you can grant or withdraw at Google (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). For data collection processes that are not aggregated in your Google account (e.g., because you do not have a Google account or have objected to aggregation), the data collection is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from the fact that the website operator has an interest in the anonymized analysis of website visitors for advertising purposes.

Further information and the privacy policy can be found in Google’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/.

Google AdWords and Google Conversion-Tracking

If a user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.

Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of different AdWords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. These customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag.
