SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser address line changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored and stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.

Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, we can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the use of cookies.

Using a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their access data each time they visit the website because this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in the online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully functional.

Collection of general data and information

Our website collects a series of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server’s log files. They can be recorded

Browser types and versions used
the operating system used by the accessing system
the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrer)
the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website
the date and time of access to the website
an Internet protocol address (IP address)
the Internet service provider of the accessing system and other similar data and information that serves to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems

When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to

to deliver the content of our website correctly
to optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it
to ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website
to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.

We therefore evaluate this anonymously collected data and information both statistically and with the aim of increasing our data protection and data security in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

Subscription to our newsletter

On our website, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our newsletter. Which personal data is transmitted to the person responsible for processing when ordering the newsletter is determined by the input mask used for this purpose.

We inform our customers and business partners about our offers at regular intervals by means of a newsletter. In principle, our newsletter can only be received by the person concerned if

the data subject has a valid email address and
the data subject registers to receive the newsletter.

For legal reasons, a confirmation email will be sent using the double opt-in procedure to the email address entered by a data subject for the first time to receive the newsletter. This confirmation email is used to check whether the owner of the email address as the data subject has authorized receipt of the newsletter.

When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to understand the (possible) misuse of the email address of a data subject at a later point in time and therefore serves to provide legal protection for the person responsible for processing.

The personal data collected when registering for the newsletter is used exclusively to send our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter could be informed by email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or a change in technical circumstances. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. The data subject can cancel the subscription to our newsletter at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that the data subject has given us for sending the newsletter can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking your consent, there is a corresponding link in every newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the controller or to communicate this to the controller in another way. Newsletter tracking

Our newsletter contains so-called tracking pixels. A web beacon is a miniature graphic that is embedded in emails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. So a statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns can be carried out. Using the embedded tracking pixel, we can see whether and when an email was opened by a data subject and which links in the email were accessed by the data subject.

Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by the person responsible for processing in order to optimize the newsletter dispatch and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Affected persons are entitled at any time to revoke the relevant separate declaration of consent issued via the double opt-in procedure. After revocation, these personal data will be deleted by the person responsible for processing. We automatically interpret unsubscribing from receiving the newsletter as a revocation.

Contact option via the website

Due to legal regulations, our website contains information that enables quick electronic contact with us and direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the person responsible for processing by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller will be stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties.

Comment function in the blog on the website

We offer users the opportunity to leave individual comments on individual blog posts on a blog that is located on the website of the controller. A blog is a portal maintained on a website, usually publicly accessible, in which one or more people, called bloggers or web bloggers, can post articles or write down thoughts in so-called blog posts. The blog posts can usually be commented on by third parties.

If a data subject leaves a comment on the blog published on this website, in addition to the comments left by the data subject, information on the time the comment was entered and on the user name (pseudonym) chosen by the data subject will be stored and published. Furthermore, the IP address assigned to the data subject by the Internet service provider (ISP) is also logged. The IP address is stored for security reasons and in the event that the person concerned violates the rights of third parties or posts illegal content through a comment made. The storage of this personal data is therefore in the own interest of the person responsible for processing, so that he could be exculpated in the event of a legal violation. This collected personal data will not be passed on to third parties unless such transfer is required by law or serves the legal defense of the person responsible for processing.

Subscription to comments in the blog on the website

The comments made on our blog can generally be subscribed to by third parties. In particular, it is possible for a commenter to subscribe to the comments following their comment on a specific blog post.

If a data subject chooses the option to subscribe to comments, the data controller will send an automatic confirmation email to use the double opt-in procedure to check whether the owner of the specified email address is actually the owner of the email address option has chosen. The option to subscribe to comments can be canceled at any time.

Google Fonts (local hosting)

In order to ensure a uniform display of fonts on this site, we use so-called Google Fonts, which are provided by Google. The Google Fonts used are installed locally, so there is no connection to Google servers.

Further information about Google Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

Analysis tools and advertising

The person responsible for processing has integrated the Matomo component on this website. Matomo is an open source web analytics software tool. Web analysis is the collection, collection and evaluation of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis tool collects, among other things, data about the website from which a data subject came to a website (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for what duration a subpage was viewed. Web analysis is primarily used to optimize a website and to analyze the cost-benefit of internet advertising.

The software is operated on the server of the person responsible for processing; the data protection-sensitive log files are stored exclusively on this server.

The purpose of the Matomo component is to analyze the flow of visitors to our website. The person responsible for processing uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of this website in order to compile online reports that show the activities on our websites.

Matomo sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. Setting the cookie enables us to analyze the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages on this website is accessed, the Internet browser on the data subject’s information technology system is automatically prompted by the Matomo component to transmit data to our server for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, we obtain knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves us, among other things, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks.

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access was made and the frequency of visits to our website. Each time you visit our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the person concerned, is transmitted to our server. This personal data is stored by us. We do not pass on this personal data to third parties.

The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies through our website, as already described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Matomo from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Matomo can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs.

The data subject also has the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by Matomo relating to the use of this website. To do this, the data subject must set “Do Not Track” in their browser.

However, by setting the opt-out cookie, it is possible that the website of the controller is no longer fully usable for the data subject.

You have the option to prevent actions you take here from being analyzed and linked. This will protect your privacy, but will also prevent the owner from learning from your actions and improving usability for you and other users.

Further information and Matomo’s applicable data protection regulations can be found at https://matomo.org/privacy/.

Registration and social logins

If you register on this website you will have access to additional features and services. The data you provide will only be used for the purpose of using these specific offers or services. When registering, you must provide all required mandatory information in full, otherwise we may refuse registration.

We use the email address provided during registration to inform you about important changes to the scope of services or technical requirements.

The data provided during registration is processed in order to carry out the registered usage relationship and, if necessary, initiate further contracts (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR).

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

Online marketing and affiliate programs

The website operator takes part in affiliate partner programs. If you click on an ad on our website that participates in the affiliate program and then make a transaction (e.g. a purchase), we receive compensation from our affiliate partners. To do this, it is necessary that our affiliate partners can identify you and understand that you came to the respective product via the advertisement placed by us and carried out the predefined transaction. For this purpose, our affiliate partners use cookies or similar technologies for recognition (e.g. device fingerprinting).

The data is stored and analyzed on the basis of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the correct calculation of his affiliate compensation. If appropriate consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.

Inquiries by email, telephone or fax

If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your request including all resulting personal data (name, request) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, provided your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this was queried.

The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
