Collection of General Information
Information of a general nature is automatically collected when you visit our website. This information (server log files) includes your web browser, your operating system, the domain name of your Internet provider, and other similar data. None of this information can be used to identify you; it is required for technical reasons in order to correctly display the website content you request and is collected whenever you use the Internet. We use this kind of anonymous information for statistical evaluations to optimise our website and the technology that runs it.
Cookies
Like many other websites, we use cookies, small text files from a website server that are saved on your computer. Their use means we automatically receive certain information about your computer and Internet connection, e.g. your IP address, browser type, and operating system.
Cookies cannot be used to start programs or transmit viruses to a computer. The information contained in cookies allows us to give you the best navigation experience and ensure our website is displayed correctly.
We will never disclose the data we collect to third parties or associate it with personal data without your consent.
You can, if you so wish, view our website without using cookies. Web browsers are normally set to accept cookies. You can deactivate cookies at any time by changing your browser settings. Please use your browser’s help function to find out how to change these settings. You should be aware that some functions on our website may not work if you deactivate the use of cookies.
A detailed list of used cookies on this page can be found here. Cookie Policy >
Registration on our Website
If you register to use our personalised services, we will collect personal information about you, e.g. your name, address, and ways to contact you such as your telephone number and email address. Once you have registered, you will be able to access content and services that are reserved for registered users only. Registered users can also change or delete the information they provided during the registration process at any time. Over and above this information, we will be happy to inform you about all the personal data we hold on you any time you ask us to. We will also correct or delete this data if you wish, provided this does not conflict with any statutory periods of retention. If you would like to get in touch us for this purpose, please use the contact information at the bottom of this page.
Data transmitted when entering into a contract with online shops, retailers, and mail order
We transmit personally identifiable data to third parties only to the extent required to fulfill the terms of your contract, for example, to companies entrusted to deliver goods to your location or banks entrusted to process your payments. Your data will not be transmitted for any other purpose unless you have given your express permission to do so. Your data will not be disclosed to third parties for advertising purposes without your express consent.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) DSGVO, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or for measures preliminary to a contract.
PayPal
On our website we offer u.a. Payment via PayPal. Provider of this payment service is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter “PayPal”).
If you choose to pay via PayPal, the payment details you enter will be sent to PayPal.
The transmission of your data to PayPal is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO (consent) and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO (processing to fulfill a contract). You have the opportunity to revoke your consent to data processing at any time. A revocation does not affect the effectiveness of historical data processing operations.
Chargeable Services
We will request further data, e.g. payment information, if you make a purchase from our website.
SSL Encryption
In order to ensure that your data remains secure during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS.
Contact form
If you contact us by sending an email or using the contact form, the information you provide will be saved for the purpose of processing your request and for any follow-up queries.
Deletion and Blocking of Data
We abide by the principles of data reduction and data economy. We therefore only save your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the desired purpose or as required to comply with the different periods of retention set out in legislation. Once the purpose has been fulfilled or the period of time has expired, the relevant information is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with statutory regulations.
Use of Matomo (formerly Piwik)
This website uses Matomo, an open-source platform for statistical evaluation of visitors to websites. Matomo uses cookies, text files that are saved on your computer to help the website analyse how visitors use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website is saved on a server in Germany. The IP address is immediately anonymised following processing and prior to storing. You can prevent installation of the cookies by changing the settings in your browser. If you do this, however, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.
You can decide whether to enable the saving of a unique web analysis cookie in your browser, which will allow the website operator to collect and analyse a range of statistical data.
You may choose to prevent this website from aggregating and analyzing the actions you take here. Doing so will protect your privacy, but will also prevent the owner from learning from your actions and creating a better experience for you and other users.
Use of Script Libraries (Google Fonts)
In order to display our content correctly and appealingly in all browsers, this website uses script and font libraries, e.g. Google Fonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts/). Google Fonts are saved in your browser cache so they do not have to be loaded each time you visit our website. If your browser does not support or cannot access Google Fonts, the content will be shown in a standard font.
Accessing script or font libraries automatically initiates a connection to the operator of the library. It is therefore theoretically possible – albeit it is presently unclear whether and under what conditions this may occur – that operators of such libraries may collect personal data.
You can find the privacy policy issued by Google, the operator of the library, here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/
Use of Google Maps
This website uses the Google Maps API to display geographical information. When you use Google Maps, Google will also collect, process, and use information about how you use its map functions. You can find more information about how Google uses your data by reading the Google privacy policy page, where you can also change your personal data privacy settings.
Click here to obtain detailed instructions on managing personal data in connection with Google products.
Use of Google reCAPTCHA
In certain situations, we use the reCAPTCHA service provided by Google Inc. to ensure that your data is adequately secured when transmitting forms. This service is primarily used to establish whether a computer user is human or whether the form is being used fraudulently by automated software. When this service is used, your IP address and other information required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service will be sent to Google.
Google’s data privacy policy applies in this case. More information can be found here
Embedded videos
Some of our website pages include embedded YouTube or Vimeo videos. These plug-ins are operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA and Vimeo, Inc., 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011. When you visit a page with the YouTube or Vimeo plug-in, a connection is made to the servers of the respective operator. This will let the operators know which pages you visit. If you are logged in to your YouTube or Vimeo account, your browsing habits can be personally associated with you. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube or Vimeo account.
If a video is played, the provider uses cookies that collect information on user behaviour.
If you have opted out of saving cookies for the Google Ad program, these cookies will not be used when you watch videos. Youtube and Vimeo do, however, save non-personal usage information in other cookies. You must block cookies from being saved in your browser if you want to prevent this.
More information on data privacy at YouTube or Vimeo can be found in the providers’ privacy policies: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and https://vimeo.com/privacy
Our social media appearances
Data processing through social networks
We maintain publicly available profiles in social networks. The individual social networks we use can be found below.
Social networks such as Facebook, Google+ etc. can generally analyze your user behavior comprehensively if you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. like buttons or banner ads). When you visit our social media pages, numerous data protection-relevant processing operations are triggered. In detail:
If you are logged in to your social media account and visit our social media page, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. Under certain circumstances, your personal data may also be recorded if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data is collected, for example, via cookies stored on your device or by recording your IP address.
Using the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which their preferences and interests are stored. This way you can see interest-based advertising inside and outside of your social media presence. If you have an account with the social network, interest-based advertising can be displayed on any device you are logged in to or have logged in to.
Please also note that we cannot retrace all processing operations on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, additional processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. Details can be found in the terms of use and privacy policy of the respective social media portals.
Legal basis
Our social media appearances should ensure the widest possible presence on the Internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on divergent legal bases to be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).
Responsibility and assertion of rights
If you visit one of our social media sites (e.g., Facebook), we, together with the operator of the social media platform, are responsible for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can in principle protect your rights (information, correction, deletion, limitation of processing, data portability and complaint) vis-à-vis us as well as vis-à-vis the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g. Facebook).
Please note that despite the shared responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options are determined by the company policy of the respective provider.
Storage time
The data collected directly from us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for their storage lapses, you ask us to delete it, you revoke your consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular, retention periods – remain unaffected.
We have no control over the storage duration of your data that are stored by the social network operators for their own purposes. For details, please contact the social network operators directly (e.g. in their privacy policy, see below).
Individual social networks
We have a profile on Facebook. The provider of this service is Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. According to Facebook’s statement the collected data will also be transferred to the USA and to other third-party countries.
We have signed an agreement with Facebook on shared responsibility for the processing of data (Controller Addendum). This agreement determines which data processing operations we or Facebook are responsible for when you visit our Facebook Fanpage. This agreement can be viewed at the following link: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum.
You can customize your advertising settings independently in your user account. Click on the following link and log in: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads.
Details can be found in the Facebook privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
We have a profile on Instagram. The provider is Instagram Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA, 94025, USA. For details on how they handle your personal information, see the Instagram Privacy Policy:
https://help.instagram.com/519522125107875.
Raffles
Should you register for a raffle, we will use your personal data for the execution and implementation of the raffle. In case you are ranked among the winners, we might have to disclose your data to participating companies. So it might be necessary to transfer your data to joint organisers or an agency tasked with implementing the raffle. Notifications surrounding the raffle can be made by e-mail or by post.
Your Right to Information, Correction, Blocking, Deletion, and Opt-Out
You have the right to request and obtain information about your personal data that we have saved at any time. You further have the right to correct, block, or – with the exception of data that must by law be stored for the purpose of completing transactions – delete your personal data. To do so, please contact our data protection officer. Contact information can be found at the bottom of this page.
To ensure that data can be blocked at any time, it must be kept in a lock file for control purposes. You may also request the deletion of your data provided we are not bound by law to retain it. In the latter case, we will block your data if you so wish.
You may make changes to your data or opt out of data collection with future effect by informing us accordingly.
Changes to our Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to make occasional changes to this privacy policy to ensure it complies with statutory requirements or to reflect changes in our services, e.g. the launch of new services. In such cases, your visit will then be governed by the new privacy policy.
