As the operator of this website and as a company, we come into contact with your personal data. This concerns all data that reveals something about you and by which you can be identified. In this privacy policy, we would like to explain how, for what purpose and on which legal basis we process your data.
Responsible for the data processing (“data controller”) on this website and in our company is:

When you enter your data on websites, place online orders or send e-mails via the Internet, you must always be prepared for unauthorized third parties to access your data. There is no complete protection against such access. However, we do our utmost to protect your data as best we can and to close security gaps as far as we can.
An important protection mechanism is the SSL or TLS encryption of our website, which ensures that data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize the encryption by the lock icon in front of the Internet address entered in your browser and by the fact that our Internet address begins with https:// and not with http://.
Payment data, such as account or credit card numbers, require special protection. For this reason, payment transactions made with the most common means of payment are carried out exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection.
In some parts in this privacy policy, we inform you about how long we or the companies that process your data on our behalf will store your data. In the absence of such information, we store your data until the purpose of the data processing no longer applies, you object to the data processing or you revoke your consent to the data processing.
In the event of an objection or revocation, we may however continue to process your data if at least one of the following conditions applies:
We have compelling legitimate grounds for continuing to process the data that override your interests, rights and freedoms (only applies in the case of an objection to data processing; if the objection is to direct marketing, we cannot provide legitimate grounds).
The data processing is necessary to assert, exercise or defend legal claims (does not apply if your objection is directed against direct advertising).
We are required by law to retain your data.
In this case, we will delete your data as soon as the requirement(s) cease to apply.
On our website, we use tools from companies that transfer your data to the USA and store it there and, if necessary, process it further. This is particularly important for you because your data in the USA does not enjoy the same protection as within the EU, where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It is therefore possible that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
IF IT’S STATED IN THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT THAT WE HAVE LEGITIMATE INTERESTS FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA AND THAT THIS PROCESSING IS THEREFORE BASED ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 SENTENCE 1 LIT. F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT IN ACCORDANCE WITH ART. 21 GDPR. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING THAT IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF THE AFOREMENTIONED PROVISION. THE PREREQUISITE IS THAT YOU STATE REASONS FOR THE OBJECTION THAT ARISE FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. NO REASONS ARE REQUIRED IF THE OBJECTION IS DIRECTED AGAINST THE USE OF YOUR DATA FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING.
THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE OBJECTION IS THAT WE MAY NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR DATA. THIS ONLY DOES NOT APPLY IF ONE OF THE FOLLOWING PREREQUISITS EXISTS:
WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS.
THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR ASSERTING, EXERCISING OR DEFENDING LEGAL CLAIMS.
THESE EXCEPTIONS DO NOT APPLY IF YOUR OBJECTION IS DIRECTED AGAINST THE USE OF YOUR DATA FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING OR TO PROFILING RELATED TO IT.
Many data processing operations are based on your consent. You can give this consent, for example, by ticking the appropriate box on online forms before you send the form, or by allowing the operation of certain cookies when you visit our website. You may revoke your consent at any time without giving reasons (Art. 7 (3) GDPR). From the time of revocation, we may then no longer process your data. The only exception: we are required by law to retain the data for a certain period of time. Such retention periods exist in particular in tax and commercial law.
If you believe that we are in breach of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to complain to a supervisory authority in accordance with Art. 77 GDPR. You may contact a supervisory authority in the Member State of your residence, place of work or the place where the alleged infringement took place. The right to complain exists alongside administrative or judicial remedies.
We must hand over data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract to you or a third party in a common machine-readable format if you request this. We can only transfer the data to another “data controller” if this is technically possible.
According to Art. 15 GDPR, you have the right to receive information free of charge about which of your personal data we have stored, where the data came from, to whom we transmit the data and for what purpose it is stored. If the data is incorrect, you have a right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), and under the conditions of Art. 17 GDPR you may demand that we delete the data.
In certain situations, according to Art. 18 GDPR, you may demand that we restrict the processing of your data. The data may then – apart from storage – only be processed as follows:
with your consent
for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims
to protect the rights of another natural or legal person
for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
The right to restrict processing exists in the following situations:
You have disputed the accuracy of your personal data stored by us and we need time to verify this. The right exists for the duration of the review.
The processing of your personal data is unlawful or was unlawful in the past. The right exists alternatively to the deletion of the data.
We no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims. The right exists alternatively to the deletion of the data.
You have filed an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and now your interests and our interests must be weighed against each other. The right exists as long as the result of the balancing of interests has not yet been determined.
Our website is hosted on a server of the following Internet service provider (hoster):
Hetzner Online GmbH
Industriestr. 25
91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany
Yes
The hoster stores all the data from our website. This includes all personal data that is collected automatically or through entering. This can be in particular: Your IP address, pages accessed, names, contact details and requests, as well as meta and communication data. When processing data, our hoster adheres to our instructions and always processes the data only insofar as this is necessary to fulfill the service obligation to us.
Since we address potential customers via our website and maintain contacts with existing customers, the data processing by our hoster serves to initiate and fulfill contracts and is therefore based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR. In addition, it is our legitimate interest as a company to provide a professional Internet offering that meets the necessary requirements for security, speed and efficiency. In this respect, we also process your data on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.
Our website places cookies on your device. These are small text files that are used for various purposes. Some cookies are technically necessary for the website to function at all (necessary cookies). Others are needed to perform certain actions or functions on the site (functional cookies). For example, without cookies it would not be possible to take advantage of a shopping cart in an online store. Still other cookies are used to analyze user behavior or to optimize advertising measures. If we use third-party services on our website, for example to process payment transactions, these companies may also leave cookies on your device when you access the website (so-called third-party cookies).
Session cookies are only stored on your device for the duration of a session. As soon as you close the browser, they therefore disappear by themselves. Permanent cookies, on the other hand, remain on your device unless you delete them yourself. This can, for example, lead to your user behavior being permanently analyzed. You can use the settings in your browser to influence how it handles cookies:
Do you want to be informed when cookies are set?
Do you want to exclude cookies in general or for certain cases?
Do you want cookies to be deleted automatically when you close the browser?
If you disable or do not allow cookies, the functionality of the website may be limited.
If we use cookies from other companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you about this as part of this privacy policy. We also request your consent in this regard when you access our website.
We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our online offers can be used by visitors without technical problems and that all desired functions are available to them. The storage of necessary and functional cookies on your device therefore takes place on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. We use all other cookies on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR, provided you give us your consent. You can revoke this at any time with effect for the future. If you have consented to the placement of necessary and functional cookies when requesting consent, these cookies will also be stored exclusively on the basis of your consent.

We are legally obliged to obtain the consent of our website visitors for the use of certain cookies. In order to fulfill this obligation, we use The legal basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6 (1) lit. c) GDPR.
Server log files log all requests and accesses to our website and record error messages. They also include personal data, in particular your IP address. However, this is anonymized by the provider after a short time, so that we cannot assign the data to your person. The data is automatically transmitted to our provider by your browser.
Our provider stores the server log files in order to be able to track the activities on our website and to locate errors. The files contain the following data:
browser type and version
operating system used
referrer URL
host name of the accessing computer

We use the following tools to analyze the behavior of our website visitors and show you advertisements.
Tag management system for the integration of tracking codes and conversion pixels of Google Ireland. Ltd.
Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland
https://policies.google.com/privacy
On the basis of the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses (https://privacy.google.com/businesses/compliance).
We use the Google Tag Manager. The tool helps us to integrate tracking codes and conversion pixels into our website, manage them and play them out. Google Tag Manager does not create user profiles itself, does not place cookies on your device, and does not analyze your behavior as a user. It does, however, record your IP address and transmit it to Google servers in the USA.
We have a legitimate interest in a quick and uncomplicated integration and management of various tools on our website. The use of Google Tag Manager is therefore lawful according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. If you have consented to the transfer of your IP address, we process your data exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

On the basis of the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses (https://privacy.google.com/businesses/compliance).
Among other things, with a browser plugin: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
We are always interested in optimizing our web offer for visitors to our website and placing advertisements in the best possible way. We are helped in this by Google Analytics, a tool that analyzes the behavior of users and thus provides us with the necessary database for adjustments. Through the tool, we receive information about the origin of our visitors, their page views and the time they spend on the pages, as well as the operating system they use.
To collect the data, Google Analytics uses cookies, device fingerprinting or other user recognition technologies. The data is transmitted to Google servers in the USA and, with the help of the IP address that is also collected, summarized in a profile that can be assigned to you or your device.
You can prevent Google from processing your data by installing a browser plugin that Google itself provides: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
We have activated the “IP anonymization” function within Google Analytics. For you, this means that Google truncates your IP address (from the EU or EEA) before transmitting it to the USA. Only in exceptional cases does Google transmit the full IP address to servers in the USA and only shorten it there.
We use the “demographic characteristics” function of Google Analytics to display suitable advertisements to visitors to our website within the Google advertising network. As a result, reports may be generated that include statements about the age, gender, and interests of our site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google as well as visitor data from third parties. It is not possible to assign the collected data to specific individuals.
You can deactivate the function in the settings of your Google account.
We use the “e-commerce tracking” function of Google Analytics. This allows us to analyze the purchasing behavior of our website visitors and improve our online marketing campaigns. E-commerce tracking records, for example, your orders, average order values, shipping costs, and the time from viewing to purchasing a product. Google can summarize the data under a transaction ID and assign it to you or your device.
According to its own information, Google deletes or anonymizes data stored at user and event level that is linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g. user IDs) or advertising IDs after 14 months (cf. https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=de).
As a website operator, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior for the purpose of optimizing our website and the advertising placed there. The data processing is therefore lawful according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. In the event that you have consented, for example, to the storage of cookies or have otherwise consented to data processing by Google Analytics, only Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.
We are always interested in optimizing our website for users and placing advertising optimally. We are helped in this by the plugin WP Statistics, which analyzes the behavior of users and thus provides us with the necessary database for adjustments. The provider is Veronalabs, ARENCO Tower, 27th Floor, Dubai Media City, Dubai, Dubai 23816, United Arab Emirates. WP Statistics collects the following data, among others:
IP address
referrer
Browser used
origin of the user
search engine used
clicks, page views and other actions
The data is only stored locally.
As a website operator, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior for the purpose of optimizing our website and the advertising placed there. The data processing is therefore lawful according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. In the event that you have, for example, consented to the storage of cookies or otherwise consented to data processing, the legal basis is exclusively Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.
Service for sending newsletters and analyzing recipient behavior
Aut O’Mattic A8C Ireland Ltd, Business Centre, No.1 Lower Mayor Street, International Financial Services Centre, Dublin 1, Ireland
https://automattic.com/privacy/
Mail Poet adheres to the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission (https://automattic.com/de/privacy/)
We use Mail Poet for our newsletter distribution. The service manages newsletter subscriber data for us, sends our newsletter and analyzes our newsletter campaigns.
If you would like to receive our newsletter, we need your e-mail address. We will also use a confirmation email (double opt-in procedure) to check whether you are really the owner of this email address. We do not collect any further data or only on a voluntary basis. We use your data exclusively for sending the newsletter. They are stored on Mail Poet’s server.
If we send a newsletter via Mail Poet and you open it, a file contained in the newsletter automatically connects to Mail Poet’s servers This way, the service learns that the newsletter has been opened and registers all clicks on the links it contains. In doing so, it also may register whether you have made a purchase after clicking on a link. In addition, Mail Poet collects technical information, such as the time of the retrieval, the IP address, browser type and operating system.
With Mail Poet, we can categorize the recipients of our newsletter, e.g. by age, gender or place of residence. This allows us to tailor our newsletters to the respective target group.
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time.
After you have unsubscribed, the data is deleted from the newsletter distribution list. In some circumstances, we blacklist your e-mail address at the same time; this is necessary, for example, if we have received an objection to advertising from you. In this case, the legal basis for the storage is Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.
Otherwise, we reserve the right to delete the data at any time after the purpose for which it was collected has ceased to exist or at our own discretion.
By entering your data in the subscriber list, you consent to data processing by Mail Poet. This is therefore carried out lawfully on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent by unsubscribing from the newsletter or by sending us an informal message. For us, this means that we may no longer send you newsletters from this point on.
We use fonts from the US company Google on our website. We have installed the fonts locally, so there is no connection to Google’s servers when you visit our website.
For more information about Google Web Fonts, please visit https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and read Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
We use icons from the Font Awesome icon library on our website. The library is provided by Fonticons Inc. We have installed the icons locally, so there is no connection to the company’s servers when you visit our website.

Test tool to distinguish between people and computers from Google Ireland Ltd.
Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de
Google complies with the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses (https://privacy.google.com/businesses/compliance).
With Google reCAPTCHA, we check whether data entered into forms on our website comes from a human or from a computer. For you, this means that the testing tool analyzes your behavior as a visitor to our website based on various characteristics. The analysis does not start when you use the test tool, but already when you visit our website. Various data are collected, e.g. the IP address, the time spent on our website and mouse movements. The data is forwarded to Google.
As a company, we have a legitimate interest in protecting our web offerings from spam and abusive spying. The data processing is therefore lawful according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.
If you have consented to the data processing, we process your data exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR. You may revoke your consent at any time. From the time of revocation, we may no longer process your data.
When we conclude a contract with you, we require certain personal data from you. We collect, process and use this data only insofar as it is necessary to establish our legal relationship, to shape its content or to change it. If you can only use our services via our website or if the services are billed via the website, we also collect usage data insofar as this is necessary to enable you to use our offer or to bill the service used.
We store your data until our legal relationship ends, unless we are required by law to keep the data longer.
We store your data in order to fulfill the contract with you or to carry out pre-contractual measures. The basis of the data processing is therefore Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR.
When you order goods from us, we transmit your data to companies that we commission with the delivery and/or through which we process the payment. In doing so, only data that is necessary for the commissioned company to carry out the specific order will be transmitted. If we want to pass on data beyond this, we will obtain your consent. We do not pass on your data for advertising purposes.
We pass on your data in order to fulfill the contract we have concluded with you. The basis of the data processing is therefore Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR.
To enable you to conveniently pay for your purchases on our website, we use the services of payment services, i.e. external companies that process the payments for us. You can see which ones these are specifically from the list at the end of this section.
For the payment process, you must provide certain personal data, e.g. your name, your account details or credit card number. We pass this data on to the respective payment service. For the transaction itself, the respective contract and data protection provisions of the respective services apply.
We pass on your data in order to fulfill the contract we have concluded with you. The basis of the data processing is therefore Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR. In addition, we have a legitimate interest in processing purchases as quickly, conveniently and securely as possible. In this respect, the legal basis is also Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. If you have consented to the transfer of your data, the data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.
