4.) Fundamentals
Your personal data (e.g. title, name, address, e-mail address, telephone number) will be processed in compliance with the relevant legal data protection regulations, in particular the REGULATION (EU) 2016/679 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data, on the free movement of data and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (the General Data Protection Regulation — GDPR), the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and other data-related laws [e.g. the Telemedia Act ( TMG)] stored and processed by us.
According to the GDPR and other regulations, data processing and use is only permitted if the GDPR or another legal provision expressly permits this or if the person concerned agrees (prohibition subject to permission). According to these legal principles, data processing and use is in particular only permitted if
- the data subject has given consent to the processing of personal data concerning him or her for one or more specific purposes;
- processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or to carry out pre-contractual measures taken at the request of the data subject;
- processing is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which the person responsible is subject;
- processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person;
- processing is necessary for the performance of a task which is in the public interest or is carried out in the exercise of official authority vested in the person responsible;
- processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the controller or of a third party, unless the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require the protection of personal data prevail, in particular when the data subject is a child.
Accordingly, we only use and process your personal data within the permitted scope of contract processing or if you have given your informed consent.
As a matter of principle, we do not share your personal data, including your address and email address, with third parties. Excluded from this are our service partners who require the transmission of data to process the contractual relationship or if we have expressly pointed this out. In these cases, however, the scope of the transmitted data is always limited to the minimum required.
5.) Anonymous data collection
In principle, you can visit our website without telling us who you are. We only learn
- the name of your Internet service provider
- the website from which you are visiting us (referrer URL)
- The pages of our website that you visit
- Date and time of retrieval as well as the amount of data transferred
- Successful retrieval message
- Browser type and version of the requesting computer/device
- the operating system of the requesting computer/terminal device
- the IP addresses of the requesting computer/terminal
This information is only evaluated for statistical purposes. As an individual user, you always remain anonymous; a combination with your personal data will of course not take place, unless you have given your express consent or one of the cases listed below applies.
6.) Collection of personal data when you visit our website and use our services in general
As a matter of principle, we only collect personal data if you provide it to us voluntarily and of your own accord. This can be done, for example, when placing an order or to execute a contract, a survey or when registering for services that should require registration with personal data (e.g. for orders, newsletter delivery). In such cases, we generally only collect the data that we are legally authorized to provide and which is absolutely necessary to fulfill the services you have requested (for example, this would usually be your name, address, telephone number and e-mail address when subscribing to the newsletter, for example only your e-mail address). When we collect personal data from you (e.g. via a contact or order form), you only ever have to provide the required data. The mandatory data fields are marked with an “asterisk”. All additional data provided by you is purely voluntary and does not have to be disclosed by you. If you nevertheless provide this information, then by disclosing it, you give us your consent that we may also store and process this data from you for the purpose specified in each case; in some cases, we also request your express consent for data protection purposes, which you can of course give voluntarily, is not subject to any further requirements and can be withdrawn at any time for the future.
For the highest possible security of your data, it is transmitted in encrypted form using SSL/TLS encryption. This is intended to prevent misuse of data by third parties. We only store and process your data on servers within the European Union. In principle, a transfer to third countries does not take place, unless we are entitled and/or obliged to do so on the basis of a legal provision or you have given your express prior consent. However, these cases are also clearly marked in each case.
7.) Data processing to fulfill the contract
(7.1) Processing purpose
As part of our ordering process, for example, you provide us with your personal data. The mandatory information marked with an “asterisk” in this context is personal data that is required to conclude a contract with us. Of course, you are not required to provide your personal data. However, we will not be able to provide the service you have requested (e.g. contract fulfilment) without your provision of the required data (e.g., in the case of an order, for example, your address). For some payment methods, we need the necessary payment data in order to pass them on to a payment service provider commissioned by us. Your data entered during the ordering process is therefore always processed for the purpose of fulfilling the contract.
(7.2) Legal basis
The legal basis for this processing is Article 6 (1) b) GDPR.
(7.3) Recipient categories
Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below. In particular, without your express consent, there will be no transfer to third parties, e.g. for advertising purposes.
We will only share your personal information with third parties if:
- you have given your express consent to this in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR;
- in accordance with Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR, this is necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you, e.g. to credit institutions to process the contractually agreed payments or, in the event of failure to fulfill contractually agreed payments for purposes of law enforcement, to lawyers and legal service companies;
- in the event that there is a legal obligation to transfer the data in accordance with Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR; or
- The transfer in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR is necessary to assert, exercise or defend legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in not disclosing your data.
(7.4) Storage period
We store the data required to process the contract until the legal warranty and, if applicable, contractual warranty periods expire.
We store the data required under commercial and tax law for the periods specified by law, regularly ten years (see § 257 HGB, § 147 AO).
We delete e-mail addresses that we only receive for sending newsletters as soon as you unsubscribe from the newsletter.

9.) Google Adwords
On our website, we use “Google Ads” (formerly Google AdWords), a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, Barrow St, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as “Google”). Google Ads enables us to draw attention to our attractive offers with the help of advertising material on external websites. This allows us to determine how successful individual advertising measures are. These advertising materials are delivered by Google via so-called “ad servers”. For this purpose, we use so-called ad server cookies, which can be used to measure certain parameters to measure success, such as the display of ads or clicks by users. Any data transfer to the USA takes place by Google in compliance with the provisions of the underlying standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission.
If you access our website via a Google ad, Google Ads stores a cookie on your PC. They are not intended to identify you personally. The following information is usually stored as analysis values for this cookie: unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions), opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wishes to be addressed). These cookies enable Google to recognize your web browser. If a user visits certain pages of an Ads customer's website and the cookie stored on their computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page. A different cookie is assigned to each Ads customer. Cookies can therefore not be traced via the websites of Ads customers. We ourselves do not collect or process any personal data in the advertising measures mentioned above.
We only receive statistical evaluations from Google. Based on these evaluations, we can identify which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of advertising materials; in particular, we cannot identify users based on this information. As a result of the marketing tools used, your browser automatically creates a direct connection to Google's server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of Google Ads. To the best of our knowledge, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an ad from us. If you have a user account with Google and are registered, Google can associate the visit with your user account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that Google will find out and save your IP address.
We use Google Ads for marketing and optimization purposes, in particular to show you relevant and interesting ads, improve campaign performance reports and achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs. This is also our legitimate interest in the processing of the above data by the third party provider. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Further information on data usage by Google, settings and objection options, and data protection can be found in the following links: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy and https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html
10.) Google Remarketing
This website uses the remarketing function provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). This function is used to present interest-based ads to visitors to the website as part of the Google advertising network. The website visitor's browser stores so-called cookies on your computer, which make it possible to recognize the visitor when the visitor accesses websites that belong to Google's advertising network. On these pages, visitors can then be presented with advertisements that relate to content that the visitor has previously accessed on websites that use Google's remarketing function. According to its own information, Google does not collect any personal data during this process. If you still do not want Google's Remarketing feature, you can always deactivate it by changing the appropriate settings under http://www.google.com/settings/ads carry out.
