We are happy about you visiting our website. We would like to introduce you to the responsible authority in terms of data protection law as applicable:<\/p>\n

Pursuant to our statutory obligations, we would like to inform you about the collection and use of your personal data.<\/p>\n
When you use our website, personal data about you will be collected. This may happen by you entering the data yourself, for example your e-mail address. But our system also collects your data automatically, for example whenever you visit our website. This happens irrespective of the device or the software that you use to visit our website.<\/p>\n
All data that you enter in our app is provided voluntarily; there are no disadvantages to you if you do not provide data. But without certain data, we are unable to provide services or to conclude contracts. Whenever such information is necessary, we will point it out to you.<\/p>\n
On this website, the user\u2019s personal data is only collected within the framework of the existing data-protection law, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The legal terms used in the text are defined in Art. 4 of the GDPR.<\/p>\n
The GDPR allows data processing in three cases in particular:<\/p>\n
We collect inventory data (for example name, address and e-mail address, possibly services used) insofar as they are required for establishing, defining or amending a contract between us and the user.<\/p>\n
We also collect usage data (for example visits to the website, interest in products) to allow the user to use the services on our website and to invoice them.\n\nWe will only combine usage data if and insofar as it is necessary for billing purposes. Otherwise, we will only put together usage data pseudonymously and only insofar as you have not objected. You may send this objection to the address indicated in the \u201cAbout Us\u201d section or the responsible authority indicated in this Privacy Policy at any time.\n\nThe legal basis for this data processing are our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR in analysing the website and your use, possibly also the statutory permission to store data as part of the negotiation of a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR.\n\nFurthermore, our provider stores information, the so-called server log files, each time the website is used; this is information which is automatically transferred by your browser. In detail, this data consists of:<\/p>\n
This data will only be used for statistical purposes and do not allow us to identify you as a user.\n<\/p>
Whenever we ask you for your consent for the processing of your data, we will inform you in clear language and in an easily accessible way about the cases for which you will be granting your consent. Any consent that we ask you for is voluntary. Any advantage that you wish to gain by granting consent is also available without consent; simply ask us.<\/p>\n
Regarding any consent, you have the right to revoke any consent given to us for the processing of your personal data at any time. You just need to contact us without any particular formal requirement, for example through our contact form, an e-mail to the e-mail address indicated in the \u201cAbout Us\u201d section or a link to unsubscribe (if offered by us). Your withdrawal has no effect on the legality of the data processing carried out up to that point.<\/p>\n
Your data will generally only remain stored for as long as the purpose of the relevant data processing requires it. Storage beyond that is mainly possible when it is still necessary for us to pursue our rights or for our other legitimate interests or if we are compelled by law to keep your data stored (for example based on tax-law requirements to maintain files, which is generally 6 years, but may last up to 10 years).\n<\/p>
You may request us anytime to provide information about the personal data stored about you free of charge. To avoid misuse, this will require personal identification.<\/p>\n
You may at any time demand from us that we correct (or complete) incorrect data as well as a limitation of the processing of data or deletion of your data. This applies in particular if the reason for processing the data is no longer valid, if a required consent has been revoked and there is no other legal basis or if our data processing is unlawful. We will then correct, block or even delete your personal data without delay as far as permitted by law.<\/p>\n
The right to object to advertisement is governed by our text regarding consent:\n<\/p>
You may request us to transfer the data stored about you in machine-readable form.<\/p>\n
If you feel that our data processing has violated any of your rights, you may file a complaint with the competent regulatory agency hier<\/a> here you find a list of agencies).<\/p>\n If and when factual or legal reasons will compel us to amend the Privacy Policy, we will update this page accordingly. This will not change the consent provided by the user.\n<\/p> We collect inventory data as far as it is necessary to establish, negotiate or amend a contract (including one without remuneration) between us and the user.<\/p>\n This can be: customer data (for example name, address), contact data (for example e-mail address, phone number), service data (for example services ordered, duration, payment).<\/p>\n Upon establishing the user relationship, we will ask you for this data (for example name, address and e-mail address) and will also tell you which of the information is required to establish the user relationship.<\/p>\n We also collect usage data to allow users to use the services on our website. These may consist of: usage information (for example visited websites or parts, duration of visit, interest in services), content data (for example data, text, images, sounds, videos entered or uploaded by you), meta data (for example identity of your device, location, IP address).<\/p>\n We will only combine usage data if and insofar as it is necessary for billing purposes. Otherwise, we will only put together usage data pseudonymously and only insofar as you have not objected. You may send this objection to the address indicated in the \u201cAbout Us\u201d section or the responsible authority indicated in this Privacy Policy at any time.<\/p>\n The legal basis for this data processing are our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR in analysing the website and your use, possibly also the statutory permission to store data as part of the negotiation of a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR.<\/p>\n Furthermore, our provider stores information, the so-called server log files, each time the website is used; this is information which is automatically transferred by your browser. In detail, this data consists of:<\/p>\n This data will only be used for statistical purposes and do not allow us to identify you as a user.\n<\/p> If you contact us in electronic form (for example by mail, fax, phone, messenger, etc.), we store and process the data which you have given us (for example name, contact information, content of the request). This is based on our legitimate interest in an effective communication with customers in accordance with Article 6 para. 1 (a) GDPR and, as far as it concerns a request to enter into or to perform a contract, also with Article 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR.<\/p>\n We will only pass on this data to third parties as far as required for the performance of the contract (in accordance with Article 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR), by the overwhelming interest in effective services (in accordance with Article 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR) or based on your consent (in accordance with Article 6 para. 1 (a) GDPR) or if there is another legal permission or obligation.<\/p>\n You may ask us at any time and without any cost to provide information about the purpose of the processing, the origin and the recipient, if any, of your data. You may also request that we correct, delete or limit the processing of your personal data. You may object against the (further) processing of your data at any time and you have a right for the data to be made transferable as well as the right to file a complaint with the competent supervisory agency.<\/p>\n In general, your data will only remain stored as long as required by the purpose of the respective data processing. A longer storage is an option, in particular when required in order to pursue our rights, for other legitimate interests of ours or when there is a statutory duty to keep the data longer (for example record-keeping under tax law, statute of limitations).<\/p>\n Generally, your data will only remain stored as long as required by the purpose of the respective data processing. Storage beyond that is possible in particular if it is still required for pursuing our rights or for other legitimate interests of ours.<\/p>\n For your inventory data which were necessary to perform a contract (including one without remuneration), this means that we store this data until the complete performance or termination of the contractual relationship plus the limitation period (which is generally 2 or 3 years) plus an adequate extra time for potential interruptions of the limitation period.<\/p>\n For your usage data which was collected in the course of your use of the website, this means that we will store it only for the time still required for the proper functionality of our website and as long as we still have a legitimate interest. Statistical information will be primarily stored by us in pseudonymous form.<\/p>\n Beyond that, we still store your data for as long as we are required to do so by law. This concerns in particular the tax-law requirements to keep records, usually for 6 or even 10 years.<\/p>\n Upon opening the website, we have asked you to consent to the storing of certain cookies which will be placed while you visit our website. Based on your consent pursuant to Art 6 para. 1 (a) GDPR, our website thus uses cookies, so that our offer can be used in a better, more effective and more secure way.<\/p>\n A cookie is a record of information that is stored on your terminal device (computer, tablet, smartphone, etc.).

You may request us anytime to provide information about the personal data stored about you free of charge. To avoid misuse, this will require personal identification.<\/p>\n You may at any time demand from us that we correct (or complete) incorrect data as well as a limitation of the processing of data or deletion of your data.

This will not change the consent provided by the user.<\/p>\n When you enter data on our website, whether in a contact form, during the registration process, when you log in or for payment purposes, the website, where you enter the data, is encrypted. Thus, third parties can not read what you enter. You will recognise the encryption by the lock symbol in your browser and by the URL beginning with \u201chttps\u201c instead of \u201chttp\u201c.<\/p>\n When you fill out a contact form or when you send us an e-mail or another electronic message, your information will be stored for the processing of the request, for possible follow-up questions or for other related questions and will only be used to follow up with the request.<\/p>\n Your data will be transferred in an encrypted manner, preventing third parties from reading your data while it is being entered.<\/p>\n Basis for this storage is the safeguarding of our legitimate interests in regard to communication with interested users pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR and in the case of inquiries prior to entering into a contract also the performance of a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para (b) GDPR.<\/p>\n Your data remains stored for as long as the processing of the request requires, in particular as long as the storage is still necessary to perform the contract, to pursue our rights or for our other legitimate interests or we are compelled by law to keep your data stored (for example based on tax-law requirements to maintain files).<\/p>\n On our website, you find a contact form, through which you may request a specific offer for our goods and services. We will ask for for the necessary data as in the form, so we can prepare the offer.<\/p>\n Your data will be entered in an encrypted manner, so that third parties cannot read your data while being entered.<\/p>\n The legal basis for this storage is our legitimate interest in communication with interested users in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR and in case of contractual requests also the storage of contractual data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR.<\/p>\n These data remain saved until you will terminate your access by sending an e-mail to the e-mail address listed in the \"About Us\" section. After that, they will remain stored in connection with the necessary performance of the contract (see the section on user\/contract data).<\/p>\n On our service page, you can ask for a call from one of our customer service agents. \u2013 your first name, because we like to address your personally,<\/p>\n \u2013 your phone number, so we can call you, and<\/p>\n \u2013 your e-mail address, because we will e-mail you to confirm your request.<\/p>\n Your data will be entered in an encrypted manner, so that third parties cannot read your data while being entered.<\/p>\n The legal basis for this storage is our legitimate interest in communication with interested users in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR and in case of contractual requests also the storage of contractual data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR.<\/p>\n We will only use this data for your specific request and will save it for 6 months after the request has been completed, so we can refer to the results already achieved in the case of subsequent service requests.<\/p>\n If you register on our website, we will ask for compulsory and potentially also non-compulsory data in accordance with our registration form for the purposes listed hereinafter.<\/p>\n Your data will be entered in an encrypted manner, so that third parties cannot read your data while being entered.<\/p>\n The legal basis for this storage is our legitimate interest in communication with interested users in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR and also the storage of contractual data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR in case of contracts, including non-remunerated ones.<\/p>\n Your data will remain stored for as long as you remain registered, particularly as long as the storage is still required to perform the contract, to pursue our rights or for our other legitimate interests or for as long as we are required by law to store your data (for example pursuant to tax-law requirements to store documents).<\/p>\n If you register in our shop, we will ask for data in accordance with our registration form in order to ship future orders. We will use your data to make future orders easier for you and to provide you with information required for the use (technical information).<\/p>\n If you comment something on our page, we will save your IP address to make sure that only lawful comments will be published. After reviewing and allowing the comment by us, this data will be deleted. We will also save your comment as well as the information entered together with it (for example user name or e-mail address).<\/p>\n Basis for this storage is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (a) GDPR, which you provide to us by filling in the comment field. You may revoke this consent at any time, you just need to contact us without any particular formal requirement (for example by unsubscribing, contact form or e-mail). This withdrawal has no effect on the legality of the data processing that has occurred up to that point.<\/p>\n Your data remains stored for as long as the comment is saved, for as long as required for us to pursue our rights or for our other legitimate interests or for as long as we are required by law to keep your data.<\/p>\n If you subscribe to the newsletter offered on our website, we will inform you in detail about the information you will receive, which of your data will be stored and what it will be used for. We will not pass on your data to third parties and we will only use it to mail the newsletter.<\/p>\n We will only mail you the newsletter if you have given us your prior permission. To that purpose, you will receive an e-mail from us with a link and further instructions and our request for your consent. By clicking on this link, you declare your consent to receiving the newsletter and our advertising.<\/p>\n Because we are legally obligated to record your permission as part of the so-called double opt-in, your order of the newsletter, the mailing of our e-mail of consent and your consent by clicking on the link will be recorded and saved with location and time as well as with your IP address.<\/p>\n The basis for the storage is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (a) GDPR, which you grant to us by registering for the newsletter. You may revoke this consent at any time, you just need to contact us without any particular formal requirement (for example through the contact form or an e-mail or the unsubscribe button in each e-mail). This withdrawal has no effect on the legality of the data processing that has occurred until that point.<\/p>\n For mailing the newsletter, we use (based on our legitimate interest in a technologically perfect processing of our customer information and analysis) the provider MailChimp (Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA) from the USA.<\/p>\n This means, your data will be exportet to the USA. However, we have ensured that your data is only transferred to the USA on the basis of a contract in accordance with the standard contractual clauses. Furthermore this provider is certified according to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This means that the transfer of data to the USA is possible in a legally secure manner on the basis of the adequacy decision concluded on 10.07.2023.<\/p>\n We have concluded an data processing agreement with this provider, according to which this provider will only process your data on our behalf within the scope of the GDPR and according to our instructions.\u00a0<\/p>\n In our newsletter, we will also explicitly ask you to provide your consent to transferring data to MailChimp and to the USA. You will declare that consent by clicking on the link, but you may revoke it at any time. For the handling of your data at MailChimp, we refer you to the Privacy Policy of MailChimp at: https:\/\/mailchimp.com\/legal\/privacy\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n MailChimp will only use your data for mailing the newsletter and for evaluating that mailing on our behalf. In addition to that, MailChimp will only use your data to improve their own service. But MailChimp will not use the data to contact you directly or to pass on your data to third parties.<\/p>\n The mails used by MailChimp contains a \u201cweb beacon\u201c, which will inform MailChimp about the opening of the newsletter and\/or the clicking on a link contained therein by you. As part of that process, information regarding your browser, your location and your IP address will be transmitted to MailChimp. This information will be used to optimise our communication with you.<\/p>\n Our newsletter provider will also use this data for purposes of analysis and optimisation of their own service, but only in pseudonymised form (meaning that your identification is not possible). But your data will not be used by the provider to contact you directly.<\/p>\n Your data will remain stored for as long as you are stored in our mailing list, the storage is required to enforce our rights or it is necessary for our legitimate interest or we are required by law to keep your data.<\/p>\n Social media plugins normally lead to the IP address of each visitor to a page being collected by theses services immediately and the users having their subsequent browsing history recorded. This may even happen if you do not click on the button.<\/p>\n To prevent this, we use the Shariff method. Thus, our social media buttons only establish the direct contact between the social network and you only once you click on the respective share button. If you are already registered with a social network, Facebook and Google+ do not require a new window for this. Twitter will show a pop-up window, in which you can still edit the text of the tweet.<\/p>\n Thus, you can publish our content in social networks without them being able to put together complete browsing profiles. The Shariff method is already being used by many websites in order to protect their users.<\/p>\n But, at the latest, when you follow the link to the social media site, your data will be broadcasted to that site.<\/p>\n The social media site will normally store a cookie in your browser and to your account information there, especially, if you are logged into your social media account on the site.<\/p>\n The social media site can analyse your use of the platform and your browsing habits and will use these for targeting advertisements based on your interests.<\/p>\n That can lead to ads being shown to you when browsing in- and outside of the social media site.<\/p>\n Please inform yourself about the use of your data on these sites and use them only, when you agree to that use of your data, that happens on that social media site, in particular, when you are not using that social media site for the first time.<\/p>\n We have added links to all the privacy policies of the social media site for your information.<\/p>\n Based on our legitimate interest in a technologically perfect online offering and its design and optimisation in an economically efficient manner pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR, we use plugins by the social network of Twitter International Company,<\/p>\n One Cumberland Place, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, D02 AX07 IRELAND. Due to the Shariff method, Twitter will only learn your IP address and your visit to our website once you will have reconfirmed the retweet button.<\/p>\n That way, your data may be transferred to the USA.<\/p>\n However, we have ensured that your data is only transferred to the USA on the basis of a contract in accordance with the standard contractual clauses. Furthermore this provider is certified according to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This means that the transfer of data to the USA is possible in a legally secure manner on the basis of the adequacy decision concluded on 10.07.2023.<\/p>\n You may find more information in Twitter\u2019s privacy policy at https:\/\/twitter.com\/privacy?lang=en<\/a>.<\/p>\n Regarding the general approach to cookies and their deactivation, we refer you to our general information in this Privacy Policy.<\/p>\n We refer with links to our social media presences.<\/p>\n When you follow any such link to the social media site, your data will be broadcasted to that site.<\/p>\n The social media site will normally store a cookie in your browser and to your account information there, especially, if you are logged into your social media account on the site.<\/p>\n The social media site can analyse your use of the platform and your browsing habits and will use these for targeting advertisements based on your interests.<\/p>\n That can lead to ads being shown to you when browsing in- and outside of the social media site.<\/p>\n Please inform yourself about the use of your data on these sites and use them only, when you agree to that use of your data, that happens on that social media site, in particular, when you are not using that social media site for the first time.<\/p>\n We have added links to all the privacy policies of the social media site for your information.<\/p>\n If you choose one of the payment options of our partner PayPal, provided by PayPal (Europe) S.\u00e0.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg, the data entered by you when ordering will be sent to PayPal in order to facilitate the contractual payment.<\/p>\n Detailed information about this can be found in the privacy policy of PayPal: https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/de\/webapps\/mpp\/ua\/privacy-full?locale.x=de_DE<\/a><\/p>\n The legal basis for passing on your data to PayPal is primarily the processing of your contractual data according to Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR as well as our legitimate interest in a technologically perfect online offering and its design and optimisation in an economically efficient manner pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.6.5″ _module_preset=”default”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.1″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]\n We are happy about you visiting our website.

A longer storage is an option, in particular when required in order to pursue our rights, for other legitimate interests of ours or when there is a statutory duty to keep the data longer (for example record-keeping under tax law, statute of limitations).<\/p>\n Generally, your data will only remain stored as long as required by the purpose of the respective data processing. Storage beyond that is possible in particular if it is still required for pursuing our rights or for other legitimate interests of ours.<\/p>\n For your inventory data which were necessary to perform a contract (including one without remuneration), this means that we store this data until the complete performance or termination of the contractual relationship plus the limitation period (which is generally 2 or 3 years) plus an adequate extra time for potential interruptions of the limitation period.<\/p>\n For your usage data which was collected in the course of your use of the website, this means that we will store it only for the time still required for the proper functionality of our website and as long as we still have a legitimate interest. Statistical information will be primarily stored by us in pseudonymous form.<\/p>\n Beyond that, we still store your data for as long as we are required to do so by law.

After reviewing and allowing the comment by us, this data will be deleted. We will also save your comment as well as the information entered together with it (for example user name or e-mail address).<\/p>\n Basis for this storage is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (a) GDPR, which you provide to us by filling in the comment field. You may revoke this consent at any time, you just need to contact us without any particular formal requirement (for example by unsubscribing, contact form or e-mail).

We will not pass on your data to third parties and we will only use it to mail the newsletter.<\/p>\n We will only mail you the newsletter if you have given us your prior permission. To that purpose, you will receive an e-mail from us with a link and further instructions and our request for your consent. By clicking on this link, you declare your consent to receiving the newsletter and our advertising.<\/p>\n Because we are legally obligated to record your permission as part of the so-called double opt-in, your order of the newsletter, the mailing of our e-mail of consent and your consent by clicking on the link will be recorded and saved with location and time as well as with your IP address.<\/p>\n The basis for the storage is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (a) GDPR, which you grant to us by registering for the newsletter. You may revoke this consent at any time, you just need to contact us without any particular formal requirement (for example through the contact form or an e-mail or the unsubscribe button in each e-mail). This withdrawal has no effect on the legality of the data processing that has occurred until that point.<\/p>\n For mailing the newsletter, we use (based on our legitimate interest in a technologically perfect processing of our customer information and analysis) the provider MailChimp (Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA) from the USA.<\/p>\n This means, your data will be exportet to the USA. However, we have ensured that your data is only transferred to the USA on the basis of a contract in accordance with the standard contractual clauses. Furthermore this provider is certified according to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This means that the transfer of data to the USA is possible in a legally secure manner on the basis of the adequacy decision concluded on 10.07.2023.<\/p>\n We have concluded an data processing agreement with this provider, according to which this provider will only process your data on our behalf within the scope of the GDPR and according to our instructions.\u00a0<\/p>\n In our newsletter, we will also explicitly ask you to provide your consent to transferring data to MailChimp and to the USA. You will declare that consent by clicking on the link, but you may revoke it at any time. For the handling of your data at MailChimp, we refer you to the Privacy Policy of MailChimp at: https:\/\/mailchimp.com\/legal\/privacy\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n MailChimp will only use your data for mailing the newsletter and for evaluating that mailing on our behalf. In addition to that, MailChimp will only use your data to improve their own service. But MailChimp will not use the data to contact you directly or to pass on your data to third parties.<\/p>\n The mails used by MailChimp contains a \u201cweb beacon\u201c, which will inform MailChimp about the opening of the newsletter and\/or the clicking on a link contained therein by you. As part of that process, information regarding your browser, your location and your IP address will be transmitted to MailChimp. This information will be used to optimise our communication with you.<\/p>\n Our newsletter provider will also use this data for purposes of analysis and optimisation of their own service, but only in pseudonymised form (meaning that your identification is not possible). But your data will not be used by the provider to contact you directly.<\/p>\n Your data will remain stored for as long as you are stored in our mailing list, the storage is required to enforce our rights or it is necessary for our legitimate interest or we are required by law to keep your data.<\/p>\n Social media plugins normally lead to the IP address of each visitor to a page being collected by theses services immediately and the users having their subsequent browsing history recorded. This may even happen if you do not click on the button.<\/p>\n To prevent this, we use the Shariff method. Thus, our social media buttons only establish the direct contact between the social network and you only once you click on the respective share button. If you are already registered with a social network, Facebook and Google+ do not require a new window for this. Twitter will show a pop-up window, in which you can still edit the text of the tweet.<\/p>\n Thus, you can publish our content in social networks without them being able to put together complete browsing profiles. The Shariff method is already being used by many websites in order to protect their users.<\/p>\n But, at the latest, when you follow the link to the social media site, your data will be broadcasted to that site.<\/p>\n The social media site will normally store a cookie in your browser and to your account information there, especially, if you are logged into your social media account on the site.<\/p>\n The social media site can analyse your use of the platform and your browsing habits and will use these for targeting advertisements based on your interests.<\/p>\n That can lead to ads being shown to you when browsing in- and outside of the social media site.<\/p>\n Please inform yourself about the use of your data on these sites and use them only, when you agree to that use of your data, that happens on that social media site, in particular, when you are not using that social media site for the first time.<\/p>\n We have added links to all the privacy policies of the social media site for your information.<\/p>\n Based on our legitimate interest in a technologically perfect online offering and its design and optimisation in an economically efficient manner pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR, we use plugins by the social network of Twitter International Company,<\/p>\n One Cumberland Place, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, D02 AX07 IRELAND. Due to the Shariff method, Twitter will only learn your IP address and your visit to our website once you will have reconfirmed the retweet button.<\/p>\n That way, your data may be transferred to the USA.<\/p>\n However, we have ensured that your data is only transferred to the USA on the basis of a contract in accordance with the standard contractual clauses. Furthermore this provider is certified according to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This means that the transfer of data to the USA is possible in a legally secure manner on the basis of the adequacy decision concluded on 10.07.2023.<\/p>\n You may find more information in Twitter\u2019s privacy policy at https:\/\/twitter.com\/privacy?lang=en<\/a>.<\/p>\n Regarding the general approach to cookies and their deactivation, we refer you to our general information in this Privacy Policy.<\/p>\n We refer with links to our social media presences.<\/p>\n When you follow any such link to the social media site, your data will be broadcasted to that site.<\/p>\n The social media site will normally store a cookie in your browser and to your account information there, especially, if you are logged into your social media account on the site.<\/p>\n The social media site can analyse your use of the platform and your browsing habits and will use these for targeting advertisements based on your interests.<\/p>\n That can lead to ads being shown to you when browsing in- and outside of the social media site.<\/p>\n Please inform yourself about the use of your data on these sites and use them only, when you agree to that use of your data, that happens on that social media site, in particular, when you are not using that social media site for the first time.<\/p>\n We have added links to all the privacy policies of the social media site for your information.<\/p>\n If you choose one of the payment options of our partner PayPal, provided by PayPal (Europe) S.\u00e0.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg, the data entered by you when ordering will be sent to PayPal in order to facilitate the contractual payment.<\/p>\n Detailed information about this can be found in the privacy policy of PayPal: https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/de\/webapps\/mpp\/ua\/privacy-full?locale.x=de_DE<\/a><\/p>\n The legal basis for passing on your data to PayPal is primarily the processing of your contractual data according to Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR as well as our legitimate interest in a technologically perfect online offering and its design and optimisation in an economically efficient manner pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR.<\/p>\n \n We are happy about you visiting our website.

The legal terms used in the text are defined in Art. 4 of the GDPR.<\/p>\n The GDPR allows data processing in three cases in particular:<\/p>\n We collect inventory data (for example name, address and e-mail address, possibly services used) insofar as they are required for establishing, defining or amending a contract between us and the user.<\/p>\n We also collect usage data (for example visits to the website, interest in products) to allow the user to use the services on our website and to invoice them.\n\nWe will only combine usage data if and insofar as it is necessary for billing purposes. Otherwise, we will only put together usage data pseudonymously and only insofar as you have not objected.

You may revoke this consent at any time, you just need to contact us without any particular formal requirement (for example by unsubscribing, contact form or e-mail).

We will not pass on your data to third parties and we will only use it to mail the newsletter.<\/p>\n We will only mail you the newsletter if you have given us your prior permission. To that purpose, you will receive an e-mail from us with a link and further instructions and our request for your consent. By clicking on this link, you declare your consent to receiving the newsletter and our advertising.<\/p>\n Because we are legally obligated to record your permission as part of the so-called double opt-in, your order of the newsletter, the mailing of our e-mail of consent and your consent by clicking on the link will be recorded and saved with location and time as well as with your IP address.<\/p>\n The basis for the storage is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (a) GDPR, which you grant to us by registering for the newsletter. You may revoke this consent at any time, you just need to contact us without any particular formal requirement (for example through the contact form or an e-mail or the unsubscribe button in each e-mail). This withdrawal has no effect on the legality of the data processing that has occurred until that point.<\/p>\n For mailing the newsletter, we use (based on our legitimate interest in a technologically perfect processing of our customer information and analysis) the provider MailChimp (Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA) from the USA.<\/p>\n This means, your data will be exportet to the USA. However, we have ensured that your data is only transferred to the USA on the basis of a contract in accordance with the standard contractual clauses. Furthermore this provider is certified according to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This means that the transfer of data to the USA is possible in a legally secure manner on the basis of the adequacy decision concluded on 10.07.2023.<\/p>\n We have concluded an data processing agreement with this provider, according to which this provider will only process your data on our behalf within the scope of the GDPR and according to our instructions.\u00a0<\/p>\n In our newsletter, we will also explicitly ask you to provide your consent to transferring data to MailChimp and to the USA. You will declare that consent by clicking on the link, but you may revoke it at any time. For the handling of your data at MailChimp, we refer you to the Privacy Policy of MailChimp at: https:\/\/mailchimp.com\/legal\/privacy\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n MailChimp will only use your data for mailing the newsletter and for evaluating that mailing on our behalf. In addition to that, MailChimp will only use your data to improve their own service. But MailChimp will not use the data to contact you directly or to pass on your data to third parties.<\/p>\n The mails used by MailChimp contains a \u201cweb beacon\u201c, which will inform MailChimp about the opening of the newsletter and\/or the clicking on a link contained therein by you. As part of that process, information regarding your browser, your location and your IP address will be transmitted to MailChimp. This information will be used to optimise our communication with you.<\/p>\n Our newsletter provider will also use this data for purposes of analysis and optimisation of their own service, but only in pseudonymised form (meaning that your identification is not possible). But your data will not be used by the provider to contact you directly.<\/p>\n Your data will remain stored for as long as you are stored in our mailing list, the storage is required to enforce our rights or it is necessary for our legitimate interest or we are required by law to keep your data.<\/p>\n Social media plugins normally lead to the IP address of each visitor to a page being collected by theses services immediately and the users having their subsequent browsing history recorded. This may even happen if you do not click on the button.<\/p>\n To prevent this, we use the Shariff method. Thus, our social media buttons only establish the direct contact between the social network and you only once you click on the respective share button. If you are already registered with a social network, Facebook and Google+ do not require a new window for this. Twitter will show a pop-up window, in which you can still edit the text of the tweet.<\/p>\n Thus, you can publish our content in social networks without them being able to put together complete browsing profiles. The Shariff method is already being used by many websites in order to protect their users.<\/p>\n But, at the latest, when you follow the link to the social media site, your data will be broadcasted to that site.<\/p>\n The social media site will normally store a cookie in your browser and to your account information there, especially, if you are logged into your social media account on the site.<\/p>\n The social media site can analyse your use of the platform and your browsing habits and will use these for targeting advertisements based on your interests.<\/p>\n That can lead to ads being shown to you when browsing in- and outside of the social media site.<\/p>\n Please inform yourself about the use of your data on these sites and use them only, when you agree to that use of your data, that happens on that social media site, in particular, when you are not using that social media site for the first time.<\/p>\n We have added links to all the privacy policies of the social media site for your information.<\/p>\n Based on our legitimate interest in a technologically perfect online offering and its design and optimisation in an economically efficient manner pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR, we use plugins by the social network of Twitter International Company,<\/p>\n One Cumberland Place, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, D02 AX07 IRELAND. Due to the Shariff method, Twitter will only learn your IP address and your visit to our website once you will have reconfirmed the retweet button.<\/p>\n That way, your data may be transferred to the USA.<\/p>\n However, we have ensured that your data is only transferred to the USA on the basis of a contract in accordance with the standard contractual clauses. Furthermore this provider is certified according to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This means that the transfer of data to the USA is possible in a legally secure manner on the basis of the adequacy decision concluded on 10.07.2023.<\/p>\n You may find more information in Twitter\u2019s privacy policy at https:\/\/twitter.com\/privacy?lang=en<\/a>.<\/p>\n Regarding the general approach to cookies and their deactivation, we refer you to our general information in this Privacy Policy.<\/p>\n We refer with links to our social media presences.<\/p>\n When you follow any such link to the social media site, your data will be broadcasted to that site.<\/p>\n The social media site will normally store a cookie in your browser and to your account information there, especially, if you are logged into your social media account on the site.<\/p>\n The social media site can analyse your use of the platform and your browsing habits and will use these for targeting advertisements based on your interests.<\/p>\n That can lead to ads being shown to you when browsing in- and outside of the social media site.<\/p>\n Please inform yourself about the use of your data on these sites and use them only, when you agree to that use of your data, that happens on that social media site, in particular, when you are not using that social media site for the first time.<\/p>\n We have added links to all the privacy policies of the social media site for your information.<\/p>\n If you choose one of the payment options of our partner PayPal, provided by PayPal (Europe) S.\u00e0.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg, the data entered by you when ordering will be sent to PayPal in order to facilitate the contractual payment.<\/p>\n Detailed information about this can be found in the privacy policy of PayPal: https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/de\/webapps\/mpp\/ua\/privacy-full?locale.x=de_DE<\/a><\/p>\n The legal basis for passing on your data to PayPal is primarily the processing of your contractual data according to Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR as well as our legitimate interest in a technologically perfect online offering and its design and optimisation in an economically efficient manner pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR.<\/p>\n We are happy about you visiting our website. We would like to introduce you to the responsible authority in terms of data protection law as applicable:<\/p>\n Peter R\u00f6ssger Pursuant to our statutory obligations, we would like to inform you about the collection and use of your personal data.<\/p>\n When you use our website, personal data about you will be collected. This may happen by you entering the data yourself, for example your e-mail address. But our system also collects your data automatically, for example whenever you visit our website. This happens irrespective of the device or the software that you use to visit our website.<\/p>\n All data that you enter in our app is provided voluntarily; there are no disadvantages to you if you do not provide data. But without certain data, we are unable to provide services or to conclude contracts. Whenever such information is necessary, we will point it out to you.<\/p>\n On this website, the user\u2019s personal data is only collected within the framework of the existing data-protection law, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The legal terms used in the text are defined in Art. 4 of the GDPR.<\/p>\n The GDPR allows data processing in three cases in particular:<\/p>\n We collect inventory data (for example name, address and e-mail address, possibly services used) insofar as they are required for establishing, defining or amending a contract between us and the user.<\/p>\n We also collect usage data (for example visits to the website, interest in products) to allow the user to use the services on our website and to invoice them.\n\nWe will only combine usage data if and insofar as it is necessary for billing purposes. Otherwise, we will only put together usage data pseudonymously and only insofar as you have not objected. You may send this objection to the address indicated in the \u201cAbout Us\u201d section or the responsible authority indicated in this Privacy Policy at any time.\n\nThe legal basis for this data processing are our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR in analysing the website and your use, possibly also the statutory permission to store data as part of the negotiation of a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR.\n\nFurthermore, our provider stores information, the so-called server log files, each time the website is used; this is information which is automatically transferred by your browser. In detail, this data consists of:<\/p>\n This data will only be used for statistical purposes and do not allow us to identify you as a user.\n<\/p> Whenever we ask you for your consent for the processing of your data, we will inform you in clear language and in an easily accessible way about the cases for which you will be granting your consent. Any consent that we ask you for is voluntary. Any advantage that you wish to gain by granting consent is also available without consent; simply ask us.<\/p>\n Regarding any consent, you have the right to revoke any consent given to us for the processing of your personal data at any time. You just need to contact us without any particular formal requirement, for example through our contact form, an e-mail to the e-mail address indicated in the \u201cAbout Us\u201d section or a link to unsubscribe (if offered by us). Your withdrawal has no effect on the legality of the data processing carried out up to that point.<\/p>\n Your data will generally only remain stored for as long as the purpose of the relevant data processing requires it. Storage beyond that is mainly possible when it is still necessary for us to pursue our rights or for our other legitimate interests or if we are compelled by law to keep your data stored (for example based on tax-law requirements to maintain files, which is generally 6 years, but may last up to 10 years).\n<\/p> You may request us anytime to provide information about the personal data stored about you free of charge. To avoid misuse, this will require personal identification.<\/p>\n You may at any time demand from us that we correct (or complete) incorrect data as well as a limitation of the processing of data or deletion of your data. This applies in particular if the reason for processing the data is no longer valid, if a required consent has been revoked and there is no other legal basis or if our data processing is unlawful. We will then correct, block or even delete your personal data without delay as far as permitted by law.<\/p>\n The right to object to advertisement is governed by our text regarding consent:\n<\/p> You may request us to transfer the data stored about you in machine-readable form.<\/p>\n If you feel that our data processing has violated any of your rights, you may file a complaint with the competent regulatory agency hier<\/a> here you find a list of agencies).<\/p>\n If and when factual or legal reasons will compel us to amend the Privacy Policy, we will update this page accordingly. This will not change the consent provided by the user.\n<\/p> We collect inventory data as far as it is necessary to establish, negotiate or amend a contract (including one without remuneration) between us and the user.<\/p>\n This can be: customer data (for example name, address), contact data (for example e-mail address, phone number), service data (for example services ordered, duration, payment).<\/p>\n Upon establishing the user relationship, we will ask you for this data (for example name, address and e-mail address) and will also tell you which of the information is required to establish the user relationship.<\/p>\n We also collect usage data to allow users to use the services on our website. These may consist of: usage information (for example visited websites or parts, duration of visit, interest in services), content data (for example data, text, images, sounds, videos entered or uploaded by you), meta data (for example identity of your device, location, IP address).<\/p>\n We will only combine usage data if and insofar as it is necessary for billing purposes. Otherwise, we will only put together usage data pseudonymously and only insofar as you have not objected. You may send this objection to the address indicated in the \u201cAbout Us\u201d section or the responsible authority indicated in this Privacy Policy at any time.<\/p>\n The legal basis for this data processing are our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR in analysing the website and your use, possibly also the statutory permission to store data as part of the negotiation of a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR.<\/p>\n Furthermore, our provider stores information, the so-called server log files, each time the website is used; this is information which is automatically transferred by your browser. In detail, this data consists of:<\/p>\n This data will only be used for statistical purposes and do not allow us to identify you as a user.\n<\/p> If you contact us in electronic form (for example by mail, fax, phone, messenger, etc.), we store and process the data which you have given us (for example name, contact information, content of the request). This is based on our legitimate interest in an effective communication with customers in accordance with Article 6 para. 1 (a) GDPR and, as far as it concerns a request to enter into or to perform a contract, also with Article 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR.<\/p>\n We will only pass on this data to third parties as far as required for the performance of the contract (in accordance with Article 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR), by the overwhelming interest in effective services (in accordance with Article 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR) or based on your consent (in accordance with Article 6 para. 1 (a) GDPR) or if there is another legal permission or obligation.<\/p>\n You may ask us at any time and without any cost to provide information about the purpose of the processing, the origin and the recipient, if any, of your data. You may also request that we correct, delete or limit the processing of your personal data. You may object against the (further) processing of your data at any time and you have a right for the data to be made transferable as well as the right to file a complaint with the competent supervisory agency.<\/p>\n In general, your data will only remain stored as long as required by the purpose of the respective data processing. A longer storage is an option, in particular when required in order to pursue our rights, for other legitimate interests of ours or when there is a statutory duty to keep the data longer (for example record-keeping under tax law, statute of limitations).<\/p>\n Generally, your data will only remain stored as long as required by the purpose of the respective data processing. Storage beyond that is possible in particular if it is still required for pursuing our rights or for other legitimate interests of ours.<\/p>\n For your inventory data which were necessary to perform a contract (including one without remuneration), this means that we store this data until the complete performance or termination of the contractual relationship plus the limitation period (which is generally 2 or 3 years) plus an adequate extra time for potential interruptions of the limitation period.<\/p>\n For your usage data which was collected in the course of your use of the website, this means that we will store it only for the time still required for the proper functionality of our website and as long as we still have a legitimate interest. Statistical information will be primarily stored by us in pseudonymous form.<\/p>\n Beyond that, we still store your data for as long as we are required to do so by law. This concerns in particular the tax-law requirements to keep records, usually for 6 or even 10 years.<\/p>\n Upon opening the website, we have asked you to consent to the storing of certain cookies which will be placed while you visit our website.

We will ask for for the necessary data as in the form, so we can prepare the offer.<\/p>\n Your data will be entered in an encrypted manner, so that third parties cannot read your data while being entered.<\/p>\n The legal basis for this storage is our legitimate interest in communication with interested users in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR and in case of contractual requests also the storage of contractual data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR.<\/p>\n These data remain saved until you will terminate your access by sending an e-mail to the e-mail address listed in the \"About Us\" section. After that, they will remain stored in connection with the necessary performance of the contract (see the section on user\/contract data).<\/p>\n On our service page, you can ask for a call from one of our customer service agents. \u2013 your first name, because we like to address your personally,<\/p>\n \u2013 your phone number, so we can call you, and<\/p>\n \u2013 your e-mail address, because we will e-mail you to confirm your request.<\/p>\n Your data will be entered in an encrypted manner, so that third parties cannot read your data while being entered.<\/p>\n The legal basis for this storage is our legitimate interest in communication with interested users in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR and in case of contractual requests also the storage of contractual data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR.<\/p>\n We will only use this data for your specific request and will save it for 6 months after the request has been completed, so we can refer to the results already achieved in the case of subsequent service requests.<\/p>\n If you register on our website, we will ask for compulsory and potentially also non-compulsory data in accordance with our registration form for the purposes listed hereinafter.<\/p>\n Your data will be entered in an encrypted manner, so that third parties cannot read your data while being entered.<\/p>\n The legal basis for this storage is our legitimate interest in communication with interested users in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR and also the storage of contractual data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR in case of contracts, including non-remunerated ones.<\/p>\n Your data will remain stored for as long as you remain registered, particularly as long as the storage is still required to perform the contract, to pursue our rights or for our other legitimate interests or for as long as we are required by law to store your data (for example pursuant to tax-law requirements to store documents).<\/p>\n If you register in our shop, we will ask for data in accordance with our registration form in order to ship future orders. We will use your data to make future orders easier for you and to provide you with information required for the use (technical information).<\/p>\n If you comment something on our page, we will save your IP address to make sure that only lawful comments will be published. After reviewing and allowing the comment by us, this data will be deleted. We will also save your comment as well as the information entered together with it (for example user name or e-mail address).<\/p>\n Basis for this storage is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (a) GDPR, which you provide to us by filling in the comment field. You may revoke this consent at any time, you just need to contact us without any particular formal requirement (for example by unsubscribing, contact form or e-mail). This withdrawal has no effect on the legality of the data processing that has occurred up to that point.<\/p>\n Your data remains stored for as long as the comment is saved, for as long as required for us to pursue our rights or for our other legitimate interests or for as long as we are required by law to keep your data.<\/p>\n If you subscribe to the newsletter offered on our website, we will inform you in detail about the information you will receive, which of your data will be stored and what it will be used for. We will not pass on your data to third parties and we will only use it to mail the newsletter.<\/p>\n We will only mail you the newsletter if you have given us your prior permission. To that purpose, you will receive an e-mail from us with a link and further instructions and our request for your consent. By clicking on this link, you declare your consent to receiving the newsletter and our advertising.<\/p>\n Because we are legally obligated to record your permission as part of the so-called double opt-in, your order of the newsletter, the mailing of our e-mail of consent and your consent by clicking on the link will be recorded and saved with location and time as well as with your IP address.<\/p>\n The basis for the storage is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (a) GDPR, which you grant to us by registering for the newsletter. You may revoke this consent at any time, you just need to contact us without any particular formal requirement (for example through the contact form or an e-mail or the unsubscribe button in each e-mail). This withdrawal has no effect on the legality of the data processing that has occurred until that point.<\/p>\n For mailing the newsletter, we use (based on our legitimate interest in a technologically perfect processing of our customer information and analysis) the provider MailChimp (Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA) from the USA.<\/p>\n This means, your data will be exportet to the USA. However, we have ensured that your data is only transferred to the USA on the basis of a contract in accordance with the standard contractual clauses. Furthermore this provider is certified according to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This means that the transfer of data to the USA is possible in a legally secure manner on the basis of the adequacy decision concluded on 10.07.2023.<\/p>\n We have concluded an data processing agreement with this provider, according to which this provider will only process your data on our behalf within the scope of the GDPR and according to our instructions.\u00a0<\/p>\n In our newsletter, we will also explicitly ask you to provide your consent to transferring data to MailChimp and to the USA. You will declare that consent by clicking on the link, but you may revoke it at any time. For the handling of your data at MailChimp, we refer you to the Privacy Policy of MailChimp at: https:\/\/mailchimp.com\/legal\/privacy\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n MailChimp will only use your data for mailing the newsletter and for evaluating that mailing on our behalf. In addition to that, MailChimp will only use your data to improve their own service. But MailChimp will not use the data to contact you directly or to pass on your data to third parties.<\/p>\n The mails used by MailChimp contains a \u201cweb beacon\u201c, which will inform MailChimp about the opening of the newsletter and\/or the clicking on a link contained therein by you. As part of that process, information regarding your browser, your location and your IP address will be transmitted to MailChimp. This information will be used to optimise our communication with you.<\/p>\n Our newsletter provider will also use this data for purposes of analysis and optimisation of their own service, but only in pseudonymised form (meaning that your identification is not possible). But your data will not be used by the provider to contact you directly.<\/p>\n Your data will remain stored for as long as you are stored in our mailing list, the storage is required to enforce our rights or it is necessary for our legitimate interest or we are required by law to keep your data.<\/p>\n Social media plugins normally lead to the IP address of each visitor to a page being collected by theses services immediately and the users having their subsequent browsing history recorded. This may even happen if you do not click on the button.<\/p>\n To prevent this, we use the Shariff method. Thus, our social media buttons only establish the direct contact between the social network and you only once you click on the respective share button. If you are already registered with a social network, Facebook and Google+ do not require a new window for this. Twitter will show a pop-up window, in which you can still edit the text of the tweet.<\/p>\n Thus, you can publish our content in social networks without them being able to put together complete browsing profiles. The Shariff method is already being used by many websites in order to protect their users.<\/p>\n But, at the latest, when you follow the link to the social media site, your data will be broadcasted to that site.<\/p>\n The social media site will normally store a cookie in your browser and to your account information there, especially, if you are logged into your social media account on the site.<\/p>\n The social media site can analyse your use of the platform and your browsing habits and will use these for targeting advertisements based on your interests.<\/p>\n That can lead to ads being shown to you when browsing in- and outside of the social media site.<\/p>\n Please inform yourself about the use of your data on these sites and use them only, when you agree to that use of your data, that happens on that social media site, in particular, when you are not using that social media site for the first time.<\/p>\n We have added links to all the privacy policies of the social media site for your information.<\/p>\n Based on our legitimate interest in a technologically perfect online offering and its design and optimisation in an economically efficient manner pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR, we use plugins by the social network of Twitter International Company,<\/p>\n One Cumberland Place, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, D02 AX07 IRELAND. Due to the Shariff method, Twitter will only learn your IP address and your visit to our website once you will have reconfirmed the retweet button.<\/p>\n That way, your data may be transferred to the USA.<\/p>\n However, we have ensured that your data is only transferred to the USA on the basis of a contract in accordance with the standard contractual clauses. Furthermore this provider is certified according to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This means that the transfer of data to the USA is possible in a legally secure manner on the basis of the adequacy decision concluded on 10.07.2023.<\/p>\nInventory Data<\/h2>\n
