The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data by which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this takes place.
We point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. communication by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
The responsible party for data processing on this website can be found in the legal notice of this website.
The responsible party is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw consent you have already given at any time. An informal notification by email to us is sufficient. The legality of data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
In the event of violations of data protection law, the affected person has the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority for data protection issues is the state data protection officer of the federal state in which our company is headquartered. A list of data protection officers and their contact details can be found at: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract in a common, machine-readable format, or to have it transferred to a third party. If you request the direct transfer of data to another responsible party, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the website operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the browser address line from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, a right to correction, restriction, or deletion of this data. For this purpose and for further questions on personal data, you may contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice.
The use of contact data published as part of the legal notice obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials is hereby objected to. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.
Some of our web pages use cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offering more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.
You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions you request (e.g. shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Other cookies (e.g. cookies for analyzing your browsing behavior) are treated separately in this privacy policy.
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in server log files that your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
This data is not merged with other data sources.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact data you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass this data on without your consent.
The processing of data entered into the contact form is therefore based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may withdraw this consent at any time. An informal notification by email to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
We collect, process, and use personal data only insofar as it is necessary to establish, structure, or modify the legal relationship (inventory data). This is done on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures. We collect, process, and use personal data concerning the use of our website (usage data) only insofar as this is necessary to enable the user to use the service or to bill the user.
The collected customer data is deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
We transfer personal data to third parties only if this is necessary within the framework of contract processing, for example to companies entrusted with the delivery of goods or the credit institution commissioned with payment processing. Further transfer of data does not take place or only takes place if you have expressly consented to the transfer. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent, for example for advertising purposes.
