DATA PROTECTION

Privacy Policy

(As of May 24, 2018)

You can generally use our website without providing any personal data. If a user or data subject wishes to use our company's services via our website, processing of personal data may be necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will obtain the consent of the data subject. The processing of personal data (e.g., name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject) is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to us.

With the following privacy policy, we would like to inform you about the type, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. This privacy policy also informs data subjects about their rights. As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible for personal data processed via our website. However, data transmissions over the Internet can generally contain security gaps. Therefore, complete protection cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, any data subject can, of course, also transmit personal data to us alternatively, e.g., by telephone.

1. Name, address and contact details of the person responsible

This privacy policy uses the definitions used by the European legislator when adopting the GDPR. These can be found in Article 4 GDPR.

III. General information on data processing

1. Scope of processing of personal data

We generally only process our users' personal data to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our services. Within the scope of our online shop, we require your personal data, in particular your name and address, in order to offer and provide you with the requested service. The processing of our users' personal data generally only occurs with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for practical reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

If we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing personal data, Article 6 (1) (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

For the processing of personal data necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations necessary to implement pre-contractual measures.

To the extent that processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis. If processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, and the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the aforementioned interests, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

3. Data deletion and storage period

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for which they were stored no longer applies. Storage may also occur if this has been provided for by European or national legislators in EU regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

If registration serves to conclude a contract with the user, this is the case for the data collected during the registration process to fulfill a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures when the data is no longer required for the execution of the contract. Even after the contract has been concluded, it may still be necessary to store the contractual partner's personal data in order to fulfill contractual or legal obligations. Continuing obligations require the storage of personal data for the duration of the contract. Warranty periods must be observed for purchase contracts. Furthermore, the storage of data also serves tax purposes. Which storage periods must be observed in this case cannot be determined across the board; rather, they must be determined on a case-by-case basis for each contract concluded and each contracting party.

5. Possibility of objection and removal

As a user, you have the option to cancel your registration at any time. You can have the data stored about you modified at any time. To do so, follow the instructions on the website during the deletion process.

This website uses Google Tag Manager. Tag Manager does not collect any personal data. The tool triggers other tags, which may themselves collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If deactivation has been performed at the domain or cookie level, this deactivation remains in effect for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager. Google's privacy policy for this tool can be found here: https://www.google.de/tagmanager/use-policy.html

XII. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics on our website. This is a web analysis service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as "Google."

Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website.

The information generated by these cookies, such as the time, location, and frequency of your website visits, including your IP address, is transmitted to and stored by Google in the USA. We use Google Analytics with the addition "_gat._anonymizeIp" on our website. In this case, your IP address will be shortened and anonymized by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of our website, to compile reports on website activity for us, and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the data on Google's behalf. Google will never associate your IP address with other Google data. You can prevent cookies from being installed by setting your browser software accordingly; however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of our website.

Furthermore, Google offers a deactivation add-on for the most common browsers, which gives you more control over which data Google collects about the websites you visit. The add-on tells the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js) that no information about your website visit should be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, the Google Analytics deactivation add-on for browsers does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analysis services we may use. Further information on installing the browser add-on can be found at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

If you visit our site using a mobile device (smartphone or tablet), you must click this link instead to prevent future tracking by Google Analytics within this website. This is also available as an alternative to the browser add-on above. Clicking this link will set an opt-out cookie in your browser that is valid only for this browser and this domain. If you delete the cookies in this browser, the opt-out cookie will also be deleted, so you will need to click the link again.

If you have agreed to Google linking your web and app browsing history to your Google Account and using information from your Google Account to personalize ads, Google will use your data together with Google Analytics data to create audience lists for cross-device remarketing. To do this, Google Analytics first collects your Google-authenticated ID on our website, which is linked to your Google Account (i.e., personal data). Google Analytics then temporarily links your ID to your Google Analytics data to optimize our audiences. If you do not agree to this, you can deactivate this by making the appropriate settings in the "My Account" section of your Google Account.

(1) the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR and

(2) the processing is carried out using automated procedures.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. This shall not adversely affect the freedoms and rights of others.

The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

7. Right of objection

You have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Article 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR, for reasons related to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The controller will no longer process the personal data concerning you unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or unless the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

If the personal data concerning you is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purposes of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.

In connection with the use of information society services, you have the option of exercising your right of objection by means of automated procedures that use technical specifications, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC.

8. Right to revoke the data protection consent declaration

You have the right to revoke your consent to data protection at any time. The revocation of your consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation. 29. Automated decision in individual cases, including profiling You have the right not to be subjected to a decision based exclusively on automated processing – including profiling – that has legal consequences for you or significantly affects you in a similar way. This does not apply if the decision

(1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,

(2) is permitted by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, or

(3) with your express consent.

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 (1) GDPR, unless Art. 9 (2) (a) or (g) GDPR applies and appropriate measures to protect your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests have been taken.

In the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the controller shall implement appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.

10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR.

The supervisory authority to which the complaint was lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.
