Cookies

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that make it possible to save specific information related to the user on the terminal device of the user while the user uses the website. Cookies enable us to determine, in particular, the frequency of use and the number of users of web pages, to analyze website activity behaviours, and to design our offering in a more customer-friendly manner.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” These cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain saved on your terminal device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit our website.

If you do not wish that we recognize information about your computer, please configure your browser so that it deletes cookies from your computer’s hard drive, blocks all cookies, or warns you before a cookie is saved. However, in those cases, not all functions of this website may be available to you.

If you leave our website through a link or through clicking possible banner advertising, and reach the site of a third party, it can happen that the addressee of the clicked-on target site sets cookies. We are not legally responsible for these cookies. Please refer to the data privacy policies of those third parties concerning the use of such cookies and the information recorded in them through our advertising partners.

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address that is anonymized) will be, as a rule, transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States of America. Please be advised that on this website, Google Analytics has been extended by the code “gat._anonymizeIp();” to ensure anonymized collecting of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). Through the anonymization, Google shortens IP addresses within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area, which is why no conclusions about your identity are possible. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the United States of America and shortened there.

Google complies with the data protection policies of the «Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield» agreement and the «EU-US Privacy Shield» framework and has been registered with the United States Department of Commerce for the «Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield» and the «EU-U.S. Privacy Shield». (You can find more information on the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield at https://www.privacyshield.gov/Swiss-US-Privacy-Shield-FAQs and general information at https://www.privacyshield.gov/Individuals-in-Europe.)

Google processes the collected information to analyze the use of our website, create reports for us on website activities and use, and to provide us with further services regarding website use. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics will not be combined with other data from Google.

You may refuse the installation of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser; however, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.

If you do not consent with the processing of data about you by using this website, then you can download a browser add-on from this link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de (German language) or http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en (English language) that gives you the chance to configure Google Analytics such that no more information about the website visit will be sent to Google Analytics. As an alternative, you can prevent the collection through Google Analytics by clicking on the following link: Deactivate Google Analytics. This sets an opt-out cookie that prevents the future collection of your data while visiting this website.

More information on Google data protection may be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de (German language) and https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en (English language).

WP Statistics

For statistical analysis of visitor access we use WP Statistics, a web analysis plugin from WordPress. The provider of this plugin is wp-statistics.com. WP Statistics collects simple user data in anonymized form and creates simple statistics.

The purpose of this data collection and evaluation is the continuous improvement of our website and offers. No user profiles are created during use. Cookies are not required and are not set by WP Statistic.
All data collected by WP Statistics is completely anonymous. Personal identification and inferences to an individual visitor are not possible. For more information about WP-Statistics, see: https://wp-statistics.com/privacy-and-policy/

YouTube

Our website uses an embedded YouTube Player for the display and playback of videos. The operator of the video platform YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA, represented by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. When you view a page on our website containing an embedded YouTube Player, a connection to the servers of YouTube/Google is established. In the process, your IP address along with the URL of the retrieved video is transmitted to the server. If you are logged into Google, YouTube/Google can assign this information to you and process it in your personal profile.

If you do not wish Google to collect data about you and link it to your personal profile, you must log out of Google before visiting our website. Further information about the collection and use of your data by YouTube can be found in YouTube’s data privacy guidelines at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de (German language) or https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7671399 (English language).

Use of Personal Data You Make Available to Us

Personal data such as your name, your address, telephone number, or electronic mail address are not collected unless you provide this data voluntarily.

We call your attention to the fact that transferring data in the Internet (for example, during communication by electronic mail) is subject to security breaches. It is not possible to completely protect such data against access by third parties.

Inquiries and Contracts

Insofar as you have made personal data available to us, we use these solely for the purpose of technically administering the website and fulfilling your wishes and requests, in particular for processing a contract made with you, or for answering your inquiry.

If you have made inquiries through our contact form, the information from the contact form, including the contact data you have entered into the form, will be saved by us to process your inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions.

Forwarding, selling, or otherwise transferring your personal data to third parties does not occur; excepting that:

  • This is necessary to conclude the contract. Thus it can be necessary, for example, that for product orders, your address and order data are forwarded to our suppliers or freight forwarders or delivery service providers.
  • This is necessary for billing (invoicing) purposes.
  • You have previously expressly consented to the transfer of your data.

More data will not be collected. We use these data exclusively for sending the requested information.

Newsletter2Go is used as newsletter software. In the process, your data is transferred to Newsletter2Go GmbH. Newsletter2Go is prohibited from selling your data and from using your data for purposes other than sending newsletters. Newsletter2Go is a certified German newsletter software provider chosen in accordance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act.

Data protection measures are always subject to technical innovations. For this reason, we ask you to inform yourself of our data protection measures at regular intervals by consulting our data protection declaration.

You may revoke at any time, with effect in the future, the issued consent to store the data, the electronic mail address, and their use for sending the newsletter, by using the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter.

Other Advertising and Customer Relations Management

Without your permission, we use personal data only within the legally permitted scope; that means, for customer relations management and sending advertisements by mail. We do not use your electronic mail address, fax number, or telephone number for advertisements without your express consent.

You can object to the use of your data for the purpose of direct marketing at any time and then will not receive further advertisements from us.

Use of Data by Third Parties

Aside from Google Inc. and YouTube, we use the following service providers that have access to personal data:

  • Web host: webgo GmbH, Wandsbeker Zollstr. 95, 22041 Hamburg, Germany
  • Newsletter software: Newsletter2Go GmbH, Köpenicker Str. 126, 10179 Berlin, Germany

Duration of Storage

We delete your data if they are no longer needed after processing an inquiry or termination of the contract. Excluded from this are data which we are not yet allowed to delete due to legal obligation (e.g., documents which are to be retained according to tax law and commercial law) and data which we need to represent legitimate interests; in particular, for asserting claims or for direct marketing.

Your Rights

You have the following rights if the respective legal requirements are met:

  • You have the right to receive information about the personal data saved about you.
  • You have the right to request the correction of incorrect information.
  • You have the right to request the deletion or restriction of processing of data which is no longer required. Insofar as statutory retention obligations exist; e.g., for business correspondence under commercial law and tax law or another statutory exception, data will not be deleted, but only their processing will be restricted.
  • You may at any time object to the processing of your data for direct marketing purposes and, for special reasons, also to the further processing of your data.
  • You have the right to data transferability; that is, the right to request the data you have provided us in a structured, current, and machine-readable format and to transmit this data to another person responsible without our interference; if necessary, you also have the right to request that we transmit the data directly to another person responsible if this is technically feasible.

Right of objection: You may object to the processing of your data for direct marketing purposes at any time. The processing of your data will then be restricted to other purposes for which it is necessary, and will no longer be processed for direct marketing. Furthermore, you can also object to the additional processing of your data if there is a special reason.

To assert your rights, please contact the abovementioned address.

If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law, you can lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
