2 General use of the website

2.1 Access data

We collect information about you when you use this website. We automatically collect information about your usage patterns and your interaction with us, and we register information about your computer or mobile device. We collect, store and use data about each access to our online services (so-called server log files). The access data includes the name and URL of the retrieved file, date and time of retrieval, transferred data volume, notification of successful retrieval (HTTP response code), browser type and browser version, operating system, referrer URL (i.e. the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider.

We use this log data without allocation to your person or other profiling for statistical evaluations for the purpose of operating, security and optimisation of our online services, but also for anonymous recording of the number of visitors to our website (traffic) and for the scope and type of use of our website and services, as well as for billing purposes to measure the number of clicks received from cooperation partners. This information enables us to provide personalized, location-based content and analyze traffic, troubleshoot and correct errors, and improve our services. We reserve the right to subsequently check the log data if there is a justified suspicion of illegal use on the basis of concrete indications. We store IP addresses in the log files for a limited period of time if this is necessary for security purposes or for the provision or billing of a service, e.g. if you use one of our offers. After the order process has been aborted or payment has been received, we delete the IP address if it is no longer required for security purposes. We also store IP addresses if we have the concrete suspicion of a criminal offence in connection with the use of our website. We also store the date of your last visit as part of your account (e.g. when registering, logging in, clicking links, etc.).

2.2 E-mail contact

When you contact us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail), we store your details for processing the enquiry and in the event that follow-up questions arise. We only store and use further personal data if you give your consent or if this is legally permissible without special consent.

2.3 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about the use of this website by website visitors is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

However, if IP anonymization is enabled on this website, Google will previously truncate your IP address within member states of the European Union or other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to and truncated by Google on servers in the United States. IP anonymization is active on this website. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and Google from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

As an alternative to the browser plug-in or within browsers on mobile devices, you can click on the following link to set an opt-out cookie that will prevent Google Analytics from collecting this data within this website in the future (this opt-out cookie only works in this browser and only for this domain). If you delete the cookies in your browser, you must click this link again): Deactivate Google Analytics

2.4 Google Web Fonts

Google Web Fonts are implemented on this website. This allows the display of fonts. By the use of Google Web Fonts an external server of Google in the USA is called when using this offer, i.e. Google is theoretically informed about the offer use. Further information regarding data protection can be found on the pages of the provider “Google”.

2.5 Data protection declaration for the use of Google Maps

This website uses Google Maps, which is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, for the display of maps and the creation of routes.

By using this website, the user declares that he or she agrees to the data collected about him or her being processed by Google, its representatives, or third-party providers. The terms of use can be found on the provider’s website.

2.6 Legal basis and storage period

The legal basis for data processing in accordance with the above paragraphs is Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. Our interests in data processing are, in particular, ensuring the operation and security of the website, investigating the manner in which visitors use the website, and simplifying the use of the website.

Unless specifically stated, we will only store personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected.

3 Your rights as a data subject

Under the applicable laws, you have various rights with respect to your personal information. If you wish to exercise these rights, please send your request by e-mail or by post, clearly identifying yourself, to the address given in point 1.

Below you will find an overview of your rights.

3.1 Right to confirmation and information

You have the right at any time to receive confirmation from us as to whether personal data concerning you will be processed. If this is the case, you have the right to obtain from us free information about the personal data stored about you together with a copy of this data. Furthermore, you have the right to the following information:

the processing purposes; the categories of personal data to be processed; the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations; if possible, the planned duration for which the personal data will be stored or, if that is not possible, the criteria for determining that duration; the existence of a right to have personal data concerning you rectified or erased or to have the processing limited by the controller or to object to such processing; the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority; if the personal data are not collected from you, all available information about the origin of the data; the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, in accordance with Article 22(1) and (4) of the DS Block Exemption Regulation and, at least in these cases, meaningful information on the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such processing for you. Where personal data are transferred to a third country or to an international organisation, you have the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards in accordance with Article 46 DSGVO in relation to the transfer.

3.2 Right to rectification

You have the right to demand from us immediately the correction of incorrect personal data concerning you. You have the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data – also by means of a supplementary declaration – taking into account the purposes of the request.

3.3 Right to deletion (“right to be forgotten”)

You have the right to request that we delete any personal information about you immediately and we are obligated to delete any personal information immediately if any of the following reasons apply:

Personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed. You withdraw your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Article 6 paragraph 1 DSGVO letter a or Article 9 paragraph 2 letter a DSGVO and there is no other legal basis for the processing. You object to the processing under Article 21(1) DS Block Exemption Regulation and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for the processing or you object to the processing under Article 21(2) DS Block Exemption Regulation. The personal data have been processed unlawfully. The deletion of the personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which we are subject. The personal data were collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Article 8(1) DSGVO. If we have made the personal data public and we are obliged to delete them pursuant to Art. 17 DSGVO, we shall take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account the technology available and the implementation costs, to inform the data controllers processing the personal data that you have requested them to delete all links to this personal data or copies or replications of this personal data.

3.4 Right to limitation of processing

You have the right to demand that we restrict processing if one of the following conditions is met:

the accuracy of the personal data is disputed by you for a period of time that allows us to verify the accuracy of the personal data, the processing is unlawful and you refused to delete the personal data and instead requested the restriction of the use of the personal data; we no longer need the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need the data to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, or you have lodged an objection against the processing pursuant to Article 21 paragraph 1 DSGVO as long as it has not yet been established whether the legitimate reasons of our company outweigh yours.

3.5 Right to Data Transferability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format, and you have the right to transfer such data to another responsible person without interference by us, provided that

the processing is based on a consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) DSGVO or Article 9(2)(a) DSGVO or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) DSGVO, and processing is carried out using automated procedures. When exercising your right to data transfer in accordance with paragraph 1, you have the right to obtain that the personal data be transferred directly by us to another responsible person, insofar as this is technically feasible.

3.6 Right of objection

You have the right to object at any time, for reasons related to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data under Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the DS Block Exemption Regulation, including profiling based on those provisions. We will no longer process the personal data unless we can prove compelling reasons for the processing worthy of protection which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.

If personal data is processed by us for the purpose of direct advertising, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is connected with such direct advertising.

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data concerning you for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89 (1) DSGVO for reasons arising from your particular situation, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest.

3.7 Automated decisions including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to any decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that has any legal effect on you or similarly significantly affects you.

3.8 Right to revoke consent under data protection law

You have the right to revoke your consent to the processing of personal data at any time.

3.9 Right to complain to a supervisory authority

You have the right to complain to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State where you are staying, at your place of work or at the place where the alleged infringement is alleged, if you consider that the processing of your personal data is unlawful.

4 Data security

We make every effort to ensure the security of your data within the framework of the applicable data protection laws and technical possibilities.

Your personal data will be transmitted encrypted. This applies to your orders and also to the customer login. We use the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) coding system, but point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.

To secure your data, we maintain technical and organizational security measures, which we constantly adapt to the state of the art.

Furthermore, we do not guarantee that our services are available at certain times; disruptions, interruptions or failures cannot be ruled out. The servers we use are regularly and carefully backed up.

5 Automated decision making

There is no automated decision-making on the basis of the personal data collected.

6 Disclosure of data to third parties, no data transfer to non-EU countries

In principle, we use your personal data only within our company.

If and to the extent that we involve third parties in the performance of contracts (such as logistics service providers), this personal data will only be received to the extent that the transmission is necessary for the corresponding service.

In the event that we outsource certain parts of the data processing (“order processing”), we contractually oblige order processors to use personal data only in accordance with the requirements of the data protection laws and to guarantee the protection of the rights of the person concerned.

Data will not and will not be transferred to entities or persons outside the EU outside the cases referred to in this declaration in point 2.3.

7 Newsletter

If you wish to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you agree to the owner of the e-mail address provided and to receive the newsletter.

We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to ensure that the newsletter is sent in an agreed manner. In the course of this procedure, the potential recipient can be added to a mailing list. The user then receives a confirmation e-mail to confirm the registration in a legally secure manner. Only if the confirmation takes place, the address is taken up actively in the distributor.

We use these data exclusively for the dispatch of the requested information and offers.

Newsletter2Go is used as newsletter software. Your data will be transmitted to Newsletter2Go GmbH. Newsletter2Go is prohibited from selling your data and from using it for purposes other than sending newsletters. Newsletter2Go is a German, certified supplier, which was selected after the requirements of the data security basic regulation and the Federal Law for Data Protection.

Further information can be found here: newsletter2go.de/informationen-newsletter-empfaenger/

You can revoke your consent to the storage of data, e-mail address and their use to send the newsletter at any time, for example via the “Unsubscribe” link in the newsletter.

For this reason, we ask you to inform yourself about our data protection measures at regular intervals by inspecting our data protection declaration.
