Your data subject rights

You have the right to:

• access your data stored by us and information about its processing,
• rectification of inaccurate personal data,
• erasure of your data stored by us,
• restriction of data processing, provided we are not yet permitted to delete your data due to legal obligations,
• object to the processing of your data by us, and
• data portability, provided you have consented to data processing or have concluded a contract with us.

If you have given us consent, you can withdraw it at any time with effect for the future.
In the event of violations of data protection law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

Purposes of data processing by the controller and third parties

We process your personal data only for the purposes stated in this privacy policy. Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those stated. We only pass on your personal data to third parties if:

• you have given your explicit consent,
• processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you,
• processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation,
• processing is necessary to protect legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in not disclosing your data.

Deletion and blocking of data

We adhere to the principles of data minimization and data economy. We therefore store your personal data only for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes stated herein or as required by the various retention periods provided for by the legislator. After the respective purpose no longer applies or these periods have expired, the corresponding data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with statutory provisions.

Collection of general information when visiting our website

When you access our website, general information is automatically collected by means of a cookie. This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet service provider and similar data. This is exclusively information that does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about you personally. This information is technically necessary in order to correctly deliver the content of websites requested by you and is mandatory when using the Internet. In particular, it is processed for the following purposes:

• ensuring a smooth connection setup of the website,
• ensuring smooth use of our website,
• evaluation of system security and stability, and
• for further administrative purposes.

The processing of your personal data is based on our legitimate interest arising from the aforementioned purposes for data collection. We do not use your data to draw conclusions about your person. Recipients of the data are only the controller and, if applicable, processors.

Anonymous information of this kind may be statistically evaluated by us in order to optimize our website and the underlying technology.

Analytics tools and third-party tools / cookies

When you visit our website, your browsing behavior may be statistically evaluated. This is done primarily with cookies and so-called analysis programs. The analysis of your browsing behavior is generally anonymous; your browsing behavior cannot be traced back to you. You can object to this analysis or prevent it by not using certain tools.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

SSL/TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL/TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Encrypted payment transactions on this website

If, after concluding a contract for a fee, you are obliged to provide us with your payment data (e.g., account number for direct debit authorization), this data is required for payment processing.
Payment transactions via common means of payment (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are carried out exclusively via an encrypted SSL/TLS connection.
With encrypted communication, your payment data transmitted to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to advertising e-mails

We hereby object to the use of contact data published within the scope of the legal notice obligations for sending advertising and information material that has not been expressly requested. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam e-mails.

Server log files

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

• browser type and browser version
• operating system used
• referrer URL
• host name of the accessing computer
• time of server request
• IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.
The basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”. These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable 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 USA and stored there.
Google Analytics cookies are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize its website and advertising.

IP anonymization

We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. As a result, your IP address is shortened by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
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 and Internet use to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Data processing on behalf (commissioned data processing)

We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Demographic characteristics in Google Analytics

This website uses the “demographic characteristics” function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be created containing statements about the age, gender and interests of website visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising by Google and from visitor data of third-party providers. This data cannot be assigned to any specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described in the section “Objection to data collection”.

Google Maps

This site uses the Google Maps map service via an API. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this website has no influence on this data transmission.
The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers and an easy way to find the locations specified by us on the website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
More information on how Google handles user data can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/

Use of script libraries (Google Web Fonts)

In order to display our content correctly and in a visually appealing manner across browsers, we use script libraries and font libraries on this website, such as Google Web Fonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts/). Google Web Fonts are transferred to your browser cache in order to avoid multiple loading. If the browser does not support Google Web Fonts or blocks access, content will be displayed in a standard font.
Calling script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the operator of the library. It is theoretically possible—however currently unclear whether and, if so, for what purposes—that operators of corresponding libraries collect data. Google’s privacy policy can be found here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

Changes to our privacy policy

We reserve the right to adapt this privacy policy so that it always complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy, e.g., when introducing new services. The new privacy policy will then apply to your next visit.
