2. Collection and storage of your personal data with regard to the purpose and type of use

a) Visiting the Website
When you visit our website, the Internet browser on your device (PC, laptop, smartphone, tablet, etc.) automatically sends information to the server where our website is hosted. The following access information is collected without your intervention and stored until it is automatically deleted:

• IP address your computer,
• date and time of access,
• name/URL of the website accessed,
• referrer URL (previously visited website from which access was made),
• amount of data transferred,
• browser used including version and operating system of your computer and the name of the access provider.

This information is temporarily stored by us or our web host in the server log file. Access information is collected and stored for the following purposes:

• to enable a smooth connection setup,
• to inhance a sensible and convenient usability of our website,
• to maintain system security and stability and
• for other administrative purposes.

Our data processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests based on the purposes listed in Art. 6 paragraph 1 letter f. GDPR (legal basis). Under no circumstances will the data collected be used to draw conclusions about you personally.
In addition to the aforementioned data processing, we use cookies and an analysis service when you visit our website. This is explained in detail in Sections 4 and 5 of this Privacy Policy.

In addition, you can generally use our website without having to provide any further personal information. Our website is designed to provide you with information about our company, where we are located, and how to contact us.

b) How to contact us
There are several ways to contact us on our website.
If you contact us (e.g. by email, telephone or fax), your voluntary information will be processed for the purpose of handling your contact request in accordance with Art. 6 paragraph 1 letter b) GDPR.

We delete the requests or the data obtained from them as soon as they are no longer required – subject to statutory archiving and retention obligations. We regularly review the necessity.

Contact Form

If you contact us via our contact form, your data will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your request and for any follow-up questions. We will never share this information without your consent.

The data entered in the contact form will therefore only be processed on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 paragraph. 1 letter a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal message to us by e-mail is sufficient. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the time of revocation shall remain unaffected by the revocation.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, until you revoke your consent to store it, or until the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

3. Co-operation with third parties within the framework of this online service

If it is necessary to involve third parties in the processing of data on the basis of a so-called “order processing agreement”, this will be done in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.
We will only disclose your personal data to third parties if this is permitted by law (e.g. according to Art. 6 paragraph. 1 sentence 1 letter b GDPR, if this is necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you), if you have expressly consented (Art. 6 paragraph. 1 sentence 1 letter a GDPR), a legal obligation requires this (Art. 6 paragraph. 1 sentence 1 letter c GDPR) or on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 paragraph. 1 letter f GDPR).

The same applies if individual data is processed in the USA, as described in more detail in Section 5. The USA is a third country outside the European Union and the European Economic Area, so that in these cases processing only takes place due to the existence of the special requirements of Art. 44 ff. GDPR by the “Privacy Shield”.

The usage of  Google Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). If you are a resident of the European Economic Area or Switzerland, the data controller for your data is Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). Google Ireland Limited is therefore the Google-affiliated company responsible for processing your data and complying with applicable data protection laws.

The purpose of the data processing is to analyze this website and its visitors, as well as for marketing and advertising purposes. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website 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. The following information may be collected: IP address, date and time of page view, click path, information about the browser and device you are using, pages viewed, referrer URL (the website from which you linked to our site), geolocation, and purchase activity. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be combined with other data held by Google.

Google Analytics uses technologies such as cookies, web cache, and tracking pixels to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website is transmitted to and stored by Google servers in the United States. This website uses IP anonymization. This means that your IP address is first shortened by Google within the member states of the European Union or in other states that are party to the agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA where it will be shortened.

Google hat sich nach dem US-EU-Datenschutzabkommen “Privacy Shield” zertifiziert und damit verpflichtet, die europäischen Datenschutzrichtlinien einzuhalten.

Google is certified under the US-EU Privacy Shield and is committed to abide by European data protection laws.

The data processing, in particular the setting of cookies, is based on Art. 6 paragraph. 1 letter f GDPR due to our overriding legitimate interest in the needs-based and targeted design of the website. You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 paragraph. 1 letter f GDPR at any time for reasons relating to your particular situation.

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, and the processing of data about you by Google, including your IP address, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available from the following link:

If you delete the opt-out cookie, requests to Google will resume. Clicking on the “Opt out of Google Analytics” will opt-out cookies.

Google AdWords

This website uses Google AdWords, an online advertising program of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow St., Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”).

When you click on a Google ad, a cookie – a small text file – is placed on your computer by your web browser. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. If the user visits certain pages on this site and the cookie has not yet expired, Google will know that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected.

Each Google AdWords advertiser receives a different cookie. Advertisers cannot track cookies through the AdWords websites. The information obtained through the cookie is used to generate statistics for advertisers who have opted in to tracking. Advertisers will learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were directed to a page with a tracking tag. However, they will not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not want to participate in this tracking, you can opt out of this use by simply disabling the Google tracking cookie in your Internet browser’s preferences. You will then not be included in the tracking statistics.

Cookies are used on the basis of Art. 6 paragraph 1 letter f GDPR. The website operator may legitimately analyze user behavior in order to optimize its website and advertising.

More information about Google AdWords tracking can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.en/policies/privacy/.

You can set your browser to notify you when a cookie is placed, to allow cookies only in specific instances, to prevent the acceptance of cookies in certain instances or generally, and to automatically delete cookies when you close your browser. If cookies are disabled, the functionality of this website may be limited.
