3. Legal basis for processing
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis.
When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject, Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller, Art. 6(1)(e) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest or that of a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing. Our legitimate interest lies in the performance of our business activities.
4. Collection of general data and information
When you visit our website, we collect data and general information provided to us by the browser of your end device.
We collect and use the following access data/log files when you use our website:
This data is processed for the purpose of enabling the use of the website (connection establishment), system security, technical administration of the network infrastructure and optimisation of the website, thus on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR and for the protection of users and other unauthorised use. This data is not passed on to third parties or otherwise evaluated. The data collected is not used and no personal user profile is created. The log files are stored for a maximum of 7 days and then automatically deleted, unless there is a security-related necessity.
5. Processing of personal data when contacting us
When you contact us via the contact form or email, personal data is processed for the purpose of handling your enquiry in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. For enquiries that do not serve to clarify a contractual matter, processing is based on our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
The data collected when using the communication channels can be seen in the contact form or depends on your message by email. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your enquiry or for establishing contact and the associated technical administration.
Your data will be deleted after your enquiry has been processed, provided that you wish this and that there are no legal retention obligations preventing deletion.
6. Newsletter
You can subscribe to the newsletter offered on our website by providing us with your email address via the corresponding input mask. By doing so, you consent to receiving the newsletter.
Registration is done via a so-called double opt-in procedure. After registering, you will receive an email in which you must confirm your registration. This allows us to verify that you are actually the owner of the address. In order to be able to prove your registration in accordance with legal requirements, we log the newsletter subscription, the sending of a confirmation email and the receipt of the requested reply. No further data is collected.
The newsletter contains information and advertising. If you have consented to receive the newsletter, it will be sent on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a and Art. 7 GDPR. The data you provide (name and email address) will be processed exclusively for the purpose of sending the newsletter.
Revocation of consent
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via a link provided in the newsletter email or by sending us a message to that effect, thereby revoking your consent. After you unsubscribe, your email address will be immediately deleted from our newsletter distribution list.
7. Processing of personal data in the context of contractual and our own services

When you order one of our products, personal data such as your IP address, name, date of birth, delivery address, email address and payment details are collected from your entries or from the information in your user account in order to fulfil our contractual obligations. You can see exactly which data is collected using the respective input masks. The data provided will be stored by us and used to process the legal transaction. Without your separate consent, we use the data you provide exclusively for the necessary fulfilment and processing of the services offered, for the purpose of fulfilling our contractual obligations and services.
Once the services have been completed, your data will be blocked for further use and deleted after the expiry of the retention periods under tax and commercial law, unless you have expressly consented to the further use of your data or there is another legal justification.
The statutory retention periods are 10 years in accordance with Section 147 (1) of the German Fiscal Code (AO) for accounting documents, annual financial statements, inventories, management reports, opening balance sheets and the work instructions and other organisational documents necessary for their understanding, and 6 years in accordance with Section 257 (1) of the German Commercial Code (HGB) for commercial or business letters received and copies of commercial or business letters sent.
The periods begin at the end of the calendar year in which the last entry was made in the book, the inventory, opening balance sheet, annual financial statements or management report was prepared, the commercial or business letter was received or sent, or the accounting document was created.
For the delivery of the ordered goods, we pass on the necessary data (in particular name and delivery address) to the following categories of recipients:
Insofar as this is necessary for delivery or to fulfil legal obligations, data may also be passed on to customs and other authorities.
b) User account

We also store other information that you provide in your user account, such as your name, address, contact details (email address and telephone number), company, payment method and other profile information. The stored data can be viewed in your profile.
You can change or delete the data at any time via ‘My Account’.
User accounts are not public. The data collected there is used exclusively for the necessary fulfilment and processing of the service offered. The collection and processing of your data is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.
You can delete your account at any time by logging out or sending us a message. In this case, your data will be deleted with regard to the user account. Further storage will only take place if this is necessary for legal reasons in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR.

11. Use of cookies
Cookies are small data packets that are transferred between us and the user. The data is transferred from our server to the user's browser and stored there on the end device for later retrieval. Cookies do not cause any damage to the user's end device and do not contain any viruses.
Cookies can be transmitted to a page when it is accessed, thus enabling the user to be identified. Cookies help to simplify the use of websites for users. Some of the cookies we use are deleted after the end of the browser session, i.e. after you close your browser. Other cookies remain on your terminal device and enable us to recognise your browser the next time you visit.
We use three categories of cookies on our website: cookies that are essential for the functionality of the website (necessary cookies), cookies that collect anonymised data for statistics and analyses in order to improve our offering and our website for users (statistics cookies), and cookies that enable us to improve the product recommendations on our site (marketing cookies).
We use necessary cookies on the basis of Section 25 of the German Telemedia Act (TDDDG). Non-necessary cookies are only set if the user has given their consent (Section 25 (1) TDDDG). Consent is given via the cookie banner, which must be actively clicked on. The settings can be changed again at any time. You can also exclude general access to cookies by changing your browser settings accordingly.
a) Necessary cookies
Necessary cookies help to make our website usable in the first place. Basic functions are stored that enable the website to function properly. We use the following necessary cookies on our website:

(1) Google Analytics
Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (‘Google’). Google Analytics uses ‘cookies’, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. We have activated IP anonymisation on this website. This means that your IP address is always truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. This means that it is no longer possible to clearly assign the IP address to your person. The full IP address is only transferred to a Google server in the USA in exceptional cases for technical reasons and is truncated there immediately. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
The cookie is only set with your consent, which is obtained via the cookie banner on our website. The legal basis is therefore Section 25 (1) TDDDG.
The cookies set via this service have a duration of 2 years.

Only when you actively click on one of the share icons is a connection established to the servers of the respective provider. In doing so, personal data (e.g. IP address, URL of the shared page) may be transmitted to the respective provider. We have no influence on the type, scope and further processing of this data.

13. Integration of third-party services
Based on our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, we use third-party services to optimise and economically operate our offerings. In these cases, the third-party providers may perceive the IP address of the users of the third-party content, or this is necessary for the implementation of the third-party providers' offerings. Third-party providers may also use pixel tags to evaluate information about visitor traffic and use it for statistical or marketing purposes. This information may also be stored in cookies and on users' end devices. These cookies may then contain technical information about the browser used, operating system, visit time and other information about the use of our website and may be linked to this information from other sources.
a) PayPal
We offer the services of the payment service provider PayPal on our website.
This gives you the option of paying for our offers via PayPal.
PayPal is operated by PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg.
If you use PayPal, we will forward the information you provide during the ordering process, together with information about your order (name, address, account number, bank code, credit card number if applicable, invoice amount, currency and transaction number) to the company for order processing. Your data will only be passed on for the purpose of payment processing. PayPal transmits your data to credit agencies in order to obtain credit information for the assessment of liability risk.
For information on the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by the provider, as well as your rights in this regard and settings options for protecting your privacy, please refer to the provider's privacy policy: https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full?locale.x=de_DE.

Data processing is carried out by SIX Payment Services (Europe) S.A., German branch, Franklinstraße 61-63, 60486 Frankfurt am Main.
For the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the provider, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to the provider's privacy policy: https://www.six-payment-services.com/de/services/legal/privacy-statement.html.
c) Google reCAPTCHA
We use ‘Google reCAPTCHA’ on our website to protect forms from misuse and prevent automated entries (e.g. by bots). The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (‘Google’).
When using reCAPTCHA, data necessary for the provision and security of the service (e.g. IP address and other information provided by the browser) is processed. Processing is carried out to safeguard our legitimate interests in the security of our website and protection against misuse (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Our legitimate interest is to protect our website from automated attacks, spam and misuse. This serves to protect our IT systems, the functionality of our website and the data of other users. Without the use of reCAPTCHA, web forms, for example, cannot be effectively protected against automated misuse.
We have weighed up the interests involved and have come to the conclusion that our interest in protecting the website outweighs the interests of users. Processing is limited to the minimum technically necessary. Individual users are not identified.
The transfer of personal data to third countries (e.g. the USA) cannot be ruled out. A contract has been concluded with Google in accordance with the EU standard contractual clauses. Additional technical and organisational measures (in particular encryption of data transmission) ensure an adequate level of data protection.
Further information on data protection at Google can be found at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de
14. Online presence on Facebook
We operate an online presence on the social network Facebook in order to communicate with interested users and inform them about our company.
As the operator of the page, Facebook provides us with so-called ‘Facebook Insights’. When you visit our page, cookies are set to collect anonymous statistical data. The cookies are set by Facebook and are an indispensable part of the user relationship between us and Facebook.
The processing of personal data is based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR in communicating and informing interested users as effectively as possible. There is a legitimate interest in designing and optimising our offering based on user behaviour.
With regard to data processing, Facebook and we are jointly responsible in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR. Facebook has primary responsibility in this regard. As the operator of the site, we do not make any decisions regarding the processing of data. The obligation to provide information in accordance with Art. 13 GDPR lies with Facebook.
Data subjects' rights can be asserted with us or with Facebook. However, we would like to point out that asserting these rights with Facebook is most effective. This is because only Facebook has access to the processed data and can take appropriate measures and provide information directly.
For further information on data processing, the joint responsibility agreement and the options for objection, please refer to Facebook's privacy policy:

16. Disclosure of data to third parties
The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for its own purposes. Within our company, your data will be received by those internal departments or organisational units that need it to fulfil our contractual and legal obligations or in the context of processing and implementing our legitimate interests. The controller may use subcontractors to provide and fulfil its services or arrange for the transfer to one or more processors who also use the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to the controller, e.g. in connection with contract processing; for the purpose of complying with legal requirements under which we are obliged to provide information, report or transfer data, or where the transfer of data is in the public interest; insofar as external service providers process data on our behalf as processors or functionaries (e.g. external data centres, support/maintenance of EDP/IT applications, archiving, data destruction, purchasing/procurement, customer management, mail order companies, website management, auditing services, credit institutions, printing companies or data disposal companies, courier services, logistics); on the basis of our legitimate interest or the legitimate interest of the third party (e.g. authorities, credit agencies, debt collection agencies, solicitors, courts, experts, group companies and supervisory bodies).
17. Legal obligation to process and store
Like everyone involved in economic activity, we are also subject to a variety of legal obligations. These are primarily legal requirements (e.g. commercial and tax laws), but may also include regulatory or other official requirements. The purposes of processing may include
the fulfilment of tax control and reporting obligations, as well as the archiving of data for the purposes of data protection and data security, and for auditing by tax and other authorities. In addition, the disclosure of personal data may be necessary in the context of official/judicial measures for the purposes of evidence collection, criminal prosecution or the enforcement of civil law claims.
18. Data security
In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, to ensure the accuracy of the data and to ensure the legitimate use of the data, we have established technical and organisational procedures in accordance with Art. 32 GDPR to secure and protect the data we request online. We secure our website and other systems against manipulation, loss, destruction, access, modification or distribution of your data by unauthorised persons.
19. Deletion and blocking of personal data
We delete or block the personal data we collect in accordance with Art. 17 and Art. 18 GDPR.
We only store and process personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve the purpose of storage. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by European or national legislators in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which we are subject. In this case, the data will be blocked for other purposes.
As soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies or a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned regulations expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted.
