Data protection

The protection of personal data is important to us. Therefore, personal data is processed in accordance with the applicable European and national laws.

You can of course revoke your declaration(s) of consent at any time with effect for the future. Please contact the person responsible in accordance with Section 1.

The following declaration provides an overview of what type of data is collected, how this data is used and shared, what security measures we take to protect your data and how you can obtain information about the information you have given us.

legal basis for the processing of personal data If we obtain consent from the data subject for processing personal data, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
When processing personal data that is necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) sentence b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.
To the extent that processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

data deletion and storage period
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for which they were stored no longer applies. Data may also be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which we are subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

§ 2 Definitions

The data protection declaration is based on the terms used by the European legislator when issuing the EU General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as "GDPR"). The data protection declaration should be easy to read and understand. To ensure this, the most important terms are explained below:

  1. Personal data is all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as the “data subject”). A natural person is considered identifiable if he or she can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more special characteristics that express the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
  2. A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.
  3. Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
  4. Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.
  5. Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
  6. The controller or person responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for his or her nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
  7. Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
  8. Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to which personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular investigation in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be considered recipients.
  9. Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons authorised to process personal data under the direct responsibility of the controller or processor.
  10. Consent is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data concerning him or her.

§ 4 Use of cookies

    1. This website uses so-called cookies. Cookies are small text files that are sent from a web server to your browser as soon as you visit a website and are saved locally on your device (PC, notebook, tablet, smartphone, etc.) and stored on your computer and provide the user (i.e. us) with certain information. Cookies are used to make the website more customer-friendly and secure, in particular to collect usage-related information, such as frequency of use and number of users of the pages and behavior during page usage. Cookies do not cause any damage to the computer and do not contain any viruses.
      This cookie contains a characteristic character string (so-called cookie ID), which enables the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is accessed again.

    2. We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require that the browser that is accessing the website can be identified even after a page change. The following data is stored and transmitted in the cookies:

      • language settings
      • items in a shopping cart
      • log-in information

      We also use cookies on our website that enable us to analyse your surfing behaviour. In this way, the following data can be transmitted:

        • Search terms entered
        • frequency of page views
        • use of website functions

      The data collected in this way is pseudonymized using technical precautions. It is therefore no longer possible to assign the data to the user who accessed it. The data is not stored together with other personal data. When you visit our website, an information banner will inform you about the use of cookies for analysis purposes and refer you to this data protection declaration. In this context, there is also a note on how the storage of cookies can be prevented in the browser settings.

      The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
      The legal basis for the processing of personal data using technically necessary cookies is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
      The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies for analysis purposes, provided the user has given their consent, is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR.

    1. The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of websites for you. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For these, it is necessary that the browser is recognized even after changing pages.

      We need cookies for the following applications:


      • shopping cart
      • Adoption of language settings
      • remembering search terms

        The user data collected through technically necessary cookies is not used to create user profiles.

        The purpose of using technically unnecessary cookies is to improve the quality of our website and its content. The analysis cookies tell us how the website is used and enable us to continually optimize our offering. [more precisely] This information is used to automatically recognize you when you visit the website again with the same device and to make navigation easier for you. Our legitimate interest in processing personal data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR also lies in these purposes.


    1. Cookies remain stored even when the browser session is ended and can be accessed again when the site is visited again. However, cookies are stored on your computer and transmitted from there to our site. This means that you have full control over the use of cookies. If you do not want data to be collected via cookies, you can set your browser via the "Settings" menu so that you are informed when cookies are set, or you can generally exclude cookies from being set, or you can delete cookies individually. However, please note that deactivating cookies may limit the functionality of this website. Session cookies are automatically deleted when you leave the website anyway.

    § 5 Newsletter

      1. With your consent, you can subscribe to our free newsletter, with which we inform you about our current interesting offers. The advertised goods and services are named in the consent form. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to register for our newsletter. This means that after you register, we will send you an email to the email address you provided, asking you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration within [24 hours], your information will be blocked and automatically deleted after one month. In addition, we store the IP addresses you use and the times of registration and confirmation. The purpose of the procedure is to be able to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify any possible misuse of your personal data.
        The only mandatory information required to send the newsletter is your email address. Providing all other data is voluntary and will be used to address you personally.
        The data will be used exclusively for sending the newsletter.
      2. The purpose of collecting the user’s email address is to deliver the newsletter.
        The collection of other personal data during the registration process serves to prevent misuse of the services or the email address used.
      3. The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. Your email address will therefore be stored as long as the newsletter subscription is active.
      4. You can cancel your subscription to our newsletter at any time and thus revoke your consent by clicking on the “Unsubscribe from newsletter” field in our newsletter footer or by sending us an email or a message to the contact details provided in the imprint.
      5. We use an external service provider to send newsletters. A separate data processing agreement has been concluded with the service provider to ensure the protection of your personal data. We currently work with the following service provider:

    1. Embedding YouTube videos

      1. We have integrated YouTube videos into our online offering, which are available on http://www.YouTube.com are stored and can be played directly from our website. [These are all integrated in "extended data protection mode", i.e. no data about you as a user is transferred to YouTube if you do not play the videos. Only when you play the videos will the data mentioned in paragraph 2 be transferred. We have no influence on this data transfer. By visiting the website, YouTube receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website.
        The following data is transmitted

        • Device-specific information, such as the hardware used; the version of the operating system; unique device identifier and information about the mobile network including your telephone number.
        • Log data in the form of server logs. These include, among other things, details about how the services were used, such as search queries; IP address; hardware settings; browser type; browser language; date and time of your request; originating page; cookies that can be used to uniquely identify your browser or your Google account
        • Location-based information. Google may collect information about your actual location. This includes, for example, your IP address, your Wi-Fi access points or cell towers
        • For more information about the data collected by Google, INC, please visit the following link: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de
      2. This happens regardless of whether YouTube provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account.


    1. The legal basis for the processing of users’ personal data is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter f) of GDPR. Google also processes your personal data in the USA and has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework .

    2. The integration of videos serves to make the website more clear for the user and to increase the search engine ranking of the website on Google. YouTube stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or needs-based design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website.

    3. If you do not wish to be associated with your YouTube profile, you must log out before activating the button.

    4. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact YouTube to exercise this right.

    5. Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by YouTube can be found in the privacy policy. There you will also find further information on your rights and setting options for protecting your privacy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy .

    6. Links to external websites This website contains links to external sites. We are responsible for our own content. We have no influence on the content of external links and are therefore not responsible for it, in particular we do not adopt their content as our own. If you are directed to an external site, the privacy policy provided there applies. If you notice any illegal activities or content on this site, please let us know. In this case, we will check the content and respond accordingly (notice and take down procedure).


    2. Fonts

    Google Web Fonts:
    This site uses so-called web fonts provided by Google to ensure a uniform display of fonts. When you visit a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly. For this purpose, the browser you use must connect to Google's servers. This tells Google that our website was accessed via your IP address. Google Web Fonts are used in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offerings. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used. Further information about Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

    Webfonts :
    This site uses so-called web fonts for the uniform display of fonts. These are provided by Monotype Imaging Inc. or one of its subsidiaries MyFonts Inc. or Linotype (address: 600 Unicorn Park Drive, Woburn, MA 01801, USA). When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly. For this purpose, the browser you use must connect to Monotype's servers. This allows Monotype to know that our website was accessed via your IP address. Monotype is used in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offerings. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of GDPR. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used.
    Monotype does not collect or store any personal data. For more information about Monotype’s privacy practices, please visit: www.monotype.com/de/legal notices/data protection guidelines/web-font-tracking-privacy-policy/

    § 7 Contact form and email contact

    1. There is a contact form on our website that can be used to contact us electronically. If you use this option, the data entered in the input mask will be sent to us and saved. When the message is sent, the following data is also saved:
      • user's IP address
      • date and time of registration
      Your consent will be obtained for the processing of the data during the sending process and reference will be made to this data protection declaration.
      Alternatively, you can contact us using the email address provided. In this case, the personal data transmitted with the email will be stored.
      If this information relates to communication channels (e.g. email address, telephone number), you also agree that we may contact you via this communication channel to answer your request.
      In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data will be used exclusively for processing the conversation.

    2. The legal basis for processing the data if the user has given their consent is Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause a) GDPR. The legal basis for processing the data transmitted when sending an email is Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 Clause f) GDPR. If the email contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 Clause b) GDPR.

    3. The processing of the personal data from the input mask serves us solely to process the contact. We will of course only use the data from your e-mail inquiries for the purpose for which you provide them to us when contacting us. If you contact us by e-mail, the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data also lies in answering the email. The other personal data processed during the sending process serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

    4. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those that were sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.

    5. You have the option to revoke your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time. If you contact us by email, you can object to the storage of your personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued. Regarding the revocation of consent/objection to storage, we ask you to contact the person responsible or the data protection officer in accordance with Section 1 by email or post. In this case, all personal data that was stored in the course of contacting us will be deleted.

    § 8 Web analysis by Google Analytics (with pseudonymization)

    1. We use "Google Analytics" and "Google Remarketing" on our website. These are services provided by Google Inc. (Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) to analyze the surfing behavior of our users. The software places a cookie on your computer (see above for information on cookies). When individual pages of our website are accessed, the following data is stored:
        1. Two bytes of the IP address of the user's calling system
        2. The website you are visiting
        3. entry pages, exit pages,
        4. The time spent on the website and the abandonment rate
        5. The frequency of visits to the website
        6. Country of origin and regional origin, language, browser, operating system, screen resolution, use of Flash or Java
        7. search engines used and search terms used

      The information generated by the cookie about the use of this website by users is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
      This website uses Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp()". The software is set so that the IP addresses are not saved in full, but only in abbreviated form. In this way, it is no longer possible to assign the abbreviated IP address to the accessing computer. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there. However, the IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data on Google's behalf. We would like to point out that Google has its own data protection guidelines ( http://www.google.de/intl/de/privacy.html ) which are independent of ours. We accept no responsibility or liability for these guidelines and procedures.

      Google will only use the (anonymous) information obtained on behalf of the operator of this website in order to evaluate the use of the website. For this purpose, for example, reports on website activities are compiled and other services related to website and internet usage are provided to the website operator.

      Third-party vendors, including Google, serve ads on sites across the internet. Third-party vendors, including Google, use stored cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website.

      Google Remarketing technology allows users who have already visited this website and our online services to be contacted again with targeted advertising on the pages of the Google Partner Network. The advertising is displayed using the cookies described above, which help to analyze user behavior when visiting the website and can then be used for targeted product recommendations and interest-based advertising.

    2. The legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter f) GDPR. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework .

    3. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website and to compile reports on website activity. By evaluating the data obtained, we are able to compile information on the use of the individual components of our website. This helps us to continually improve our website and its user-friendliness. For these purposes, we also have a legitimate interest in processing the data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. By anonymizing the IP address, the user's interest in the protection of their personal data is sufficiently taken into account.

    4. The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for our record-keeping purposes. In our case, this is after 26 months.

    5. The cookies used are stored on your computer and transmitted from there to our website. If you do not agree to the collection and analysis of usage data, you can prevent this by setting your browser software accordingly by deactivating or restricting the use of cookies. Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted at any time. However, in this case, you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent.
      You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link. The current link is: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de .

      Alternatively, you can simply object to the use of cookies on our website by checking the box below. In this case, a so-called "opt-out cookie" will be installed on your browser on your computer, with the result that no session data will be collected any more. Please note, however, that if you delete your cookies from your computer, you will also have to delete this opt-out cookie and then reactivate it if necessary.

      You can deactivate the collection of data by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link: Deactivate Google Analytics. This will store a so-called "opt-out cookie" on your computer, which prevents the future collection of your personal data when you visit our website.

    6. The third party provider is Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, Fax: +353 (1) 436?1001. For more information, see the terms of use at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html , in the overview of data protection under http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/learn/privacy.html and in the privacy policy at http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy .

    § 9 Integration of Google Maps

      1. We use Google Maps on this website. This allows us to show you interactive maps directly on the website and enables you to use the map function conveniently.

      1. When you visit the website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, the data collected when you visit our website is transmitted. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data is assigned directly to your account. If you do not want your Google profile to be assigned, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or needs-based design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles; you must contact Google to exercise this right.

    1. Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by the plug-in provider can be found in the provider's privacy policy. There you will also find further information on your rights and setting options for protecting your privacy: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy . Google also processes your personal data in the USA and has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework .

    § 10 Social Media Plugins

    General information about social plugins:

    1. Facebook

    1. These pages use social plugins from the social network Facebook (Facebook, 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA). This plugin allows you to bookmark these pages and share them with other participants in the social network. You can recognize this plugin by the Facebook logo or the typical "Like button". You can find an overview of Facebook plugins at http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/ .

    2. We use the so-called two-click solution. This means that when you visit our site, no personal data is initially passed on to Facebook. We give you the option of communicating directly with Facebook using the button. Only when you click on the marked field and thereby activate it, will Facebook receive the information that you have accessed the corresponding website of our online offering. The data is passed on regardless of whether you have a Facebook account and are logged in there.

      1. If you click the Facebook "Like button" while you are logged into your Facebook account, the content of these pages can also be linked to the Facebook profile. In this case, Facebook can also assign the visit to these pages to your user account. If you click the activated button and, for example, link the page, Facebook also saves this information in your user account and shares it publicly with your contacts. We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, but especially before activating the button, as this will prevent it from being assigned to your profile.
      2. If you are not a member of Facebook or have logged out of Facebook before visiting this site, it is still possible that Facebook will find out and save your IP address. If you do not want Facebook to be able to assign your visit to our pages to your Facebook user account, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website or must not activate the plug-in.

      The following data is generally transmitted to Facebook:
      • Browser-related data such as IP address, browser type, operating system, time and date of the request, website visited.
      • User ID (if logged into Facebook account)
      According to Facebook, IP addresses are anonymized in Germany immediately after collection. By activating the plug-in, your personal data is transmitted to Facebook and stored in the USA. Since Facebook collects data primarily via cookies, we recommend that you delete all cookies via the security settings of your browser before clicking on the grayed-out box.

    3. We have no influence on the data collected and data processing procedures, nor are we aware of the full extent of the data collection, the purposes of the processing, or the storage periods. We also have no information on the deletion of the data collected by Facebook.
