The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

 

2) Data Collection When Visiting Our Website

2.1 When you use our website for purely informational purposes, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect the data that your browser transmits to the server of our website (so-called "server log files"). When you access our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary to display the website to you:

  • Our visited website

  • Date and time at the time of access

  • Amount of data sent in bytes

  • Source/referrer from which you came to the page

  • Browser used

  • Operating system used

  • IP address used (if applicable: in anonymized form)

 

Processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR based on our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data will not be passed on or otherwise used. However, we reserve the right to subsequently review the server log files if there are concrete indications of unlawful use.

2.2 For security reasons and to protect the transmission of personal data and other confidential content (e.g. orders or inquiries to the controller), this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the character string "https://" and the lock symbol in your browser line.

 

3) Cookies

To make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use cookies, which are small text files stored on your device. Some of these cookies are automatically deleted after you close your browser (so-called “session cookies”), while others remain on your device longer and allow us to save page settings (so-called “persistent cookies”). You can find the storage duration in your browser’s cookie settings overview.

If personal data is also processed through individual cookies used by us, such processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR either for the performance of a contract, in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR if consent has been given, or in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in ensuring the best possible functionality of the website and a customer-friendly and effective design of the site visit.

You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and decide individually whether to accept them, or to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general. Please note that if you do not accept cookies, the functionality of our website may be limited.

 

4) Contacting Us

When contacting us (e.g. via contact form or email), personal data is collected. The specific data collected via a contact form is evident from the respective form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your request or for establishing contact and the related technical administration.

The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. If your contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis is Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted once your inquiry has been conclusively resolved, provided no statutory retention obligations apply.

 

5) Use of Customer Data for Direct Marketing

Sending Email Newsletters to Existing Customers
If you have provided us with your email address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for similar goods or services from our range via email. For this purpose, we do not require separate consent from you in accordance with § 7 (3) UWG (German Unfair Competition Act). Data processing is based solely on our legitimate interest in personalized direct marketing pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. If you initially objected to the use of your email address for this purpose, we will not send any emails.

You are entitled to object to the use of your email address for the above-mentioned advertising purpose at any time with effect for the future by notifying the controller named at the beginning. For this, you only incur transmission costs according to the basic rates. Upon receipt of your objection, the use of your email address for advertising purposes will be immediately discontinued.

 

6) Website Functionalities

Google Customer Reviews (formerly Google Certified Shop Program)
We cooperate with Google as part of the “Google Customer Reviews” program. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”). This program enables us to collect customer reviews from users of our website. After making a purchase on our website, you may be asked whether you would like to participate in an email survey by Google.

If you give your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR, we will transmit your email address to Google. You will then receive an email from Google Customer Reviews asking you to rate your purchase experience on our website. Your review will then be aggregated with our other reviews and displayed in our Google Customer Reviews logo and in our Merchant Center dashboard. It will also be used for Google Seller Ratings. In connection with the use of Google Customer Reviews, personal data may also be transferred to servers of Google LLC in the USA.

You may revoke your consent at any time by notifying the controller responsible for data processing or Google.

For data transfers to the USA, the provider is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

7) Tools and Miscellaneous

Cookie-Consent Tool
This website uses a “cookie consent tool” to obtain valid user consents for cookies and cookie-based applications requiring consent. The tool is displayed to users when they access the site as an interactive user interface, where consents for specific cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be granted by checking boxes. Only if the user gives consent will such cookies/services be loaded. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the user’s device if consent has been given.

The tool sets technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. Personal data is not processed in principle.

If, in individual cases, the processing of personal data (such as IP address) should occur for the purposes of storing, assigning, or logging cookie settings, this is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR based on our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific, and user-friendly consent management for cookies, and therefore in a legally compliant design of our website.

The additional legal basis is Art. 6 (1)(c) GDPR. As the controller, we are legally obliged to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user’s consent.

Where necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider to ensure the protection of our site visitors’ data and to prohibit unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

Further information about the provider and the settings options of the cookie-consent tool can be found directly in the respective user interface on our website.

IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL CEASE PROCESSING THE DATA CONCERNED. HOWEVER, FURTHER PROCESSING REMAINS RESERVED IF WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR IF THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ASSERTION, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS.

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED BY US FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR SUCH ADVERTISING PURPOSES. YOU MAY EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.

IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL CEASE PROCESSING THE DATA CONCERNED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES.

 

9) Duration of Storage of Personal Data

The duration of the storage of personal data is determined by the respective legal basis, the processing purpose, and—if applicable—statutory retention periods (e.g. commercial and tax law retention periods).

When processing personal data based on express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR, the data concerned will be stored until you revoke your consent.

​

If statutory retention periods exist for data processed within the scope of legal or similar obligations pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR, this data will be routinely deleted after expiry of the retention periods, provided it is no longer necessary for contract performance or initiation and/or we have no legitimate interest in further storage.

When processing personal data pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR, this data will be stored until you exercise your right to object under Art. 21 (1) GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

When processing personal data for direct marketing purposes pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR, this data will be stored until you exercise your right to object under Art. 21 (2) GDPR.

​

Unless otherwise stated in this declaration about specific processing situations, stored personal data will otherwise be deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
