3. Data Collection on our website

Cookies

Some websites use cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offerings easier to use, more effective and safe. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved in your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are called "session cookies". They are deleted automatically after your visit. Other cookies remain on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit our website.

You can configure your browser to be informed about cookie settings and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic removal of cookies when the browser is closed. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions that you require (for example, the function of the shopping cart) are established on the basis of art. 6, Paragraph 1, subparagraph F of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. To the extent that other cookies are stored (for example, cookies to analyze your browsing behavior), they are treated separately in this data protection statement.

Server log files

The website provider collects and automatically stores information in the so-called server log files, which your browser transmits us automatically. These are:

  • Type of browser and version
  • Operating system used
  • Reference URL
  • Host name of the computer accessing the website
  • Time of server request
  • IP adress

These data are not merged with other data sources.

These data are recorded on the basis of art. 6 Paragraph 1, subparagraph F of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website; the server log files must be registered for this purpose.

Contact Form

If you send us queries through the contact form, we will store your data from the query form, including the contact information provided there, in order to process the query and in case of follow-up questions. We will not transmit this data without your consent.

Therefore, the data entered in the contact form is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Article 6 paragraph 1 of GDPR). You can withdraw this consent at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal email. The legality of data processing operations performed before revocation is not affected by revocation.

The data that goes into the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for storage or the purpose of data storage no longer applies (for example, after your request has been processed). The obligatory legal provisions, especially retention periods, are not affected.

Queries by email, phone or fax

If you contact us by email, phone or fax, your query, including all the resulting personal data (name, query), will be stored and processed by us in order to process your request. We will not transmit this data without your consent.

This data is processed based on Article 6, paragraph 1 subparagraph B of the GDPR, if your application is related to compliance with a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent (Article 6 paragraph 1 subparagraph of GDPR) and/or in our legitimate interests (Article 6 Paragraph 1, subparagraph F GDPR), since we have a legitimate interest in the validity of the queries you send us.

The data you send us through contact requests will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for storage or the purpose of data storage no longer applies (for example, after your request has been processed). The obligatory legal provisions, especially legal retention periods, are not affected.

Data processing (customers data and contracts)

We collect, process and use personal data only to the extent that it is necessary for justification, content design or change of the legal relationship (inventory data). This is done on the basis of art. 6 Paragraph 1 Subparagraph B of the GDPR, which allows data processing to meet a contract or precontractual measures. We only collect, process and use personal data on the use of our website (use data) insofar as it is necessary to enable or bill the user for the use of the service.

The customer data collected will be deleted once the order has been completed or the commercial relationship has been completed. Legal retention periods are not affected.

4. Analysis Tools and Advertising.

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the Google Analytics web analysis service. The supplier is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses "cookies". These are text files that are stored on your computer and allow an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the US and stored there. The storage of Google Analytics cookies and the use of this analysis tool are based on art. 6, Paragraph 1, subparagraph F of GDPR. The operator of the website has a legitimate interest in analyzing the user's behavior to optimize both its website and advertising.

We have activated the IP anonymity function on this website. This means that your IP address will be shortened by Google within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before it is transmitted to the US. Only in exceptional cases will the complete IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and be shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, collect reports on the activity of the website and provide the website operator other services related to the use of the website and Internet. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You can avoid the storage of cookies by configuring the software of your browser accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case it is possible that you can not 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 in relation to your use of the website (including your IP address) and Google processing this data by downloading and installing the browser add-on available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by clicking on the following link. An exclusion cookie will be established that prevents the collection of your data in future visits to this website: Deactivate Google Analytics.

The data stored in Google at the user and event level that are linked to cookies, user ID (for example, user ID) or advertising ID (for example, DoubleClick cookies, Android advertising ID) will be anonymized after 26 months or will be deleted. You can find details about this at the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=de.

DoubleClick

This website uses the DoubleClick tool by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. DoubleClick uses cookies to show ads that are relevant to users, to improve reports on campaign performance or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads more than once if the frequency limitation function is activated. Google uses a cookie ID to register which ads are shown in which browser and, therefore, can prevent them from being displayed several times. In addition, DoubleClick can use ID cookies to record conversions related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, if a user sees a DoubleClick ad and then visits the advertiser's website with the same browser and buys something there.
With DoubleClick, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server. If you are registered in a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered in Google or you have not logged in, there is a possibility that Google will discover and save your IP address.
The legal basis for processing your data is Art. 6, Paragraph 1, subparagraph F of GDPR. Our legitimate interest in the use of DoubleClick by Google is, on the one hand, the adequate placement of advertising and, on the other hand, the overall search for market research purposes.

Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager, a service by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA on our website. Google Tag Manager allows us to manage web-sites labels through an interface. The Google Tag Manager tool, which implements labels, is a cookie-free domain and does not collect any personal data by itself. Google Tag Manager activates other tags, which in turn can collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If deactivation has been carried out at domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking labels that are implemented with Google Tag Manager.
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 Paragraph 1, subparagraph F of GDPR. The legitimate interest is to ensure that our website can be managed and works correctly. To the extent that the follow-up features are also used using the Google Tag Manager, there is a legitimate interest in allowing the use of current online marketing functions and evaluating the flows of use on our website.
Google has undergone the Privacy Protection Agreement between the European Union and the US and it has been certified: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active
