Pri­vacy Policy

Per­son­al data (usu­ally referred to just as “data” below) will only be pro­cessed by us to the extent neces­sary and for the pur­pose of provid­ing a func­tion­al and user-friendly web­site, includ­ing its con­tents, and the ser­vices offered there.

Per Art. 4 No. 1 of Reg­u­la­tion (EU) 2016/679, i.e. the Gen­er­al Data Pro­tec­tion Reg­u­la­tion (here­in­after referred to as the “GDPR”), “pro­cessing” refers to any oper­a­tion or set of oper­a­tions such as col­lec­tion, record­ing, organ­iz­a­tion, struc­tur­ing, stor­age, adapt­a­tion, alter­a­tion, retriev­al, con­sulta­tion, use, dis­clos­ure by trans­mis­sion, dis­sem­in­a­tion, or oth­er­wise mak­ing avail­able, align­ment, or com­bin­a­tion, restric­tion, eras­ure, or destruc­tion per­formed on per­son­al data, wheth­er by auto­mated means or not.

The fol­low­ing pri­vacy policy is inten­ded to inform you in par­tic­u­lar about the type, scope, pur­pose, dur­a­tion, and leg­al basis for the pro­cessing of such data either under our own con­trol or in con­junc­tion with oth­ers. We also inform you below about the third-party com­pon­ents we use to optim­ize our web­site and improve the user exper­i­ence which may res­ult in said third parties also pro­cessing data they col­lect and con­trol.

Our pri­vacy policy is struc­tured as fol­lows:

II. The rights of users and data sub­jects

With regard to the data pro­cessing to be described in more detail below, users and data sub­jects have the right

• to con­firm­a­tion of wheth­er data con­cern­ing them is being pro­cessed, inform­a­tion about the data being pro­cessed, fur­ther inform­a­tion about the nature of the data pro­cessing, and cop­ies of the data (cf. also Art. 15 GDPR);
• to cor­rect or com­plete incor­rect or incom­plete data (cf. also Art. 16 GDPR);
• to the imme­di­ate dele­tion of data con­cern­ing them (cf. also Art. 17 DSGVO), or, altern­at­ively, if fur­ther pro­cessing is neces­sary as stip­u­lated in Art. 17 Para. 3 GDPR, to restrict said pro­cessing per Art. 18 GDPR;
• to receive cop­ies of the data con­cern­ing them and/or provided by them and to have the same trans­mit­ted to oth­er providers/controllers (cf. also Art. 20 GDPR);
• to file com­plaints with the super­vis­ory author­ity if they believe that data con­cern­ing them is being pro­cessed by the con­trol­ler in breach of data pro­tec­tion pro­vi­sions (see also Art. 77 GDPR).

In addi­tion, the con­trol­ler is obliged to inform all recip­i­ents to whom it dis­closes data of any such cor­rec­tions, dele­tions, or restric­tions placed on pro­cessing the same per Art. 16, 17 Para. 1, 18 GDPR. How­ever, this oblig­a­tion does not apply if such noti­fic­a­tion is impossible or involves a dis­pro­por­tion­ate effort. Nev­er­the­less, users have a right to inform­a­tion about these recip­i­ents.

Like­wise, under Art. 21 GDPR, users and data sub­jects have the right to object to the con­trol­ler­’s future pro­cessing of their data pur­su­ant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. In par­tic­u­lar, an objec­tion to data pro­cessing for the pur­pose of dir­ect advert­ising is per­miss­ible.

III. Inform­a­tion about the data pro­cessing

Your data pro­cessed when using our web­site will be deleted or blocked as soon as the pur­pose for its stor­age ceases to apply, provided the dele­tion of the same is not in breach of any stat­utory stor­age oblig­a­tions or unless oth­er­wise stip­u­lated below.

Serv­er data

For tech­nic­al reas­ons, the fol­low­ing data sent by your inter­net browser to us or to our serv­er pro­vider will be col­lec­ted, espe­cially to ensure a secure and stable web­site: These serv­er log files record the type and ver­sion of your browser, oper­at­ing sys­tem, the web­site from which you came (refer­rer URL), the webpages on our site vis­ited, the date and time of your vis­it, as well as the IP address from which you vis­ited our site.

The data thus col­lec­ted will be tem­por­ar­ily stored, but not in asso­ci­ation with any oth­er of your data.

The basis for this stor­age is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legit­im­ate interest lies in the improve­ment, sta­bil­ity, func­tion­al­ity, and secur­ity of our web­site.

The data will be deleted with­in no more than sev­en days, unless con­tin­ued stor­age is required for evid­en­tiary pur­poses. In which case, all or part of the data will be excluded from dele­tion until the invest­ig­a­tion of the rel­ev­ant incid­ent is finally resolved.

Cook­ies

a) Ses­sion cook­ies

We use cook­ies on our web­site. Cook­ies are small text files or oth­er stor­age tech­no­lo­gies stored on your com­puter by your browser. These cook­ies pro­cess cer­tain spe­cif­ic inform­a­tion about you, such as your browser, loc­a­tion data, or IP address.  

This pro­cessing makes our web­site more user-friendly, effi­cient, and secure, allow­ing us, for example, to dis­play our web­site in dif­fer­ent lan­guages or to offer a shop­ping cart func­tion.

The leg­al basis for such pro­cessing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, inso­far as these cook­ies are used to col­lect data to ini­ti­ate or pro­cess con­trac­tu­al rela­tion­ships.

If the pro­cessing does not serve to ini­ti­ate or pro­cess a con­tract, our legit­im­ate interest lies in improv­ing the func­tion­al­ity of our web­site. The leg­al basis is then Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

When you close your browser, these ses­sion cook­ies are deleted.

b) Third-party cook­ies

If neces­sary, our web­site may also use cook­ies from com­pan­ies with whom we cooper­ate for the pur­pose of advert­ising, ana­lyz­ing, or improv­ing the fea­tures of our web­site.

Please refer to the fol­low­ing inform­a­tion for details, in par­tic­u­lar for the leg­al basis and pur­pose of such third-party col­lec­tion and pro­cessing of data col­lec­ted through cook­ies.

c) Dis­abling cook­ies

You can refuse the use of cook­ies by chan­ging the set­tings on your browser. Like­wise, you can use the browser to delete cook­ies that have already been stored. How­ever, the steps and meas­ures required vary, depend­ing on the browser you use. If you have any ques­tions, please use the help func­tion or con­sult the doc­u­ment­a­tion for your browser or con­tact its maker for sup­port. Browser set­tings can­not pre­vent so-called flash cook­ies from being set. Instead, you will need to change the set­ting of your Flash play­er. The steps and meas­ures required for this also depend on the Flash play­er you are using. If you have any ques­tions, please use the help func­tion or con­sult the doc­u­ment­a­tion for your Flash play­er or con­tact its maker for sup­port.

If you pre­vent or restrict the install­a­tion of cook­ies, not all of the func­tions on our site may be fully usable.

Order pro­cessing

The data you sub­mit when order­ing goods and/or ser­vices from us will have to be pro­cessed in order to ful­fill your order. Please note that orders can­not be pro­cessed without provid­ing this data.

The leg­al basis for this pro­cessing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

After your order has been com­pleted, your per­son­al data will be deleted, but only after the reten­tion peri­ods required by tax and com­mer­cial law.

In order to pro­cess your order, we will share your data with the ship­ping com­pany respons­ible for deliv­ery to the extent required to deliv­er your order and/or with the pay­ment ser­vice pro­vider to the extent required to pro­cess your pay­ment.

The leg­al basis for the trans­fer of this data is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

Cus­tom­er account/registration

If you cre­ate a cus­tom­er account with us via our web­site, we will use the data you entered dur­ing regis­tra­tion (e.g. your name, your address, or your email address) exclus­ively for ser­vices lead­ing up to your poten­tial place­ment of an order or enter­ing some oth­er con­trac­tu­al rela­tion­ship with us, to ful­fill such orders or con­tracts, and to provide cus­tom­er care (e.g. to provide you with an over­view of your pre­vi­ous orders or to be able to offer you a wish­list func­tion). We also store your IP address and the date and time of your regis­tra­tion. This data will not be trans­ferred to third parties.

Dur­ing the regis­tra­tion pro­cess, your con­sent will be obtained for this pro­cessing of your data, with ref­er­ence made to this pri­vacy policy. The data col­lec­ted by us will be used exclus­ively to provide your cus­tom­er account. 

If you give your con­sent to this pro­cessing, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR is the leg­al basis for this pro­cessing.

If the open­ing of the cus­tom­er account is also inten­ded to lead to the ini­ti­ation of a con­trac­tu­al rela­tion­ship with us or to ful­fill an exist­ing con­tract with us, the leg­al basis for this pro­cessing is also Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

You may revoke your pri­or con­sent to the pro­cessing of your per­son­al data at any time under Art. 7 Para. 3 GDPR with future effect. All you have to do is inform us that you are revok­ing your con­sent.

The data pre­vi­ously col­lec­ted will then be deleted as soon as pro­cessing is no longer neces­sary. How­ever, we must observe any reten­tion peri­ods required under tax and com­mer­cial law.

Google Ana­lyt­ics

We use Google Ana­lyt­ics on our web­site. This is a web ana­lyt­ics ser­vice provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphi­theatre Park­way, Moun­tain View, CA 94043 (here­in­after: Google).

Through cer­ti­fic­a­tion accord­ing to the EU-US Pri­vacy Shield

https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active

Google guar­an­tees that it will fol­low the EU’s data pro­tec­tion reg­u­la­tions when pro­cessing data in the United States.

The Google Ana­lyt­ics ser­vice is used to ana­lyze how our web­site is used. The leg­al basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legit­im­ate interest lies in the ana­lys­is, optim­iz­a­tion, and eco­nom­ic oper­a­tion of our site.

Usage and user-related inform­a­tion, such as IP address, place, time, or fre­quency of your vis­its to our web­site will be trans­mit­ted to a Google serv­er in the United States and stored there. How­ever, we use Google Ana­lyt­ics with the so-called anonym­iz­a­tion func­tion, whereby Google trun­cates the IP address with­in the EU or the EEA before it is trans­mit­ted to the US.

The data col­lec­ted in this way is in turn used by Google to provide us with an eval­u­ation of vis­its to our web­site and what vis­it­ors do once there. This data can also be used to provide oth­er ser­vices related to the use of our web­site and of the inter­net in gen­er­al.

Google states that it will not con­nect your IP address to oth­er data. In addi­tion, Google provides fur­ther inform­a­tion with regard to its data pro­tec­tion prac­tices at

https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners,

includ­ing options you can exer­cise to pre­vent such use of your data.

In addi­tion, Google offers an opt-out add-on at

https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

in addi­tion with fur­ther inform­a­tion. This add-on can be installed on the most pop­u­lar browsers and offers you fur­ther con­trol over the data that Google col­lects when you vis­it our web­site. The add-on informs Google Ana­lyt­ics’ JavaS­cript (ga.js) that no inform­a­tion about the web­site vis­it should be trans­mit­ted to Google Ana­lyt­ics. How­ever, this does not pre­vent inform­a­tion from being trans­mit­ted to us or to oth­er web ana­lyt­ics ser­vices we may use as detailed herein.

You­Tube

We use You­Tube on our web­site. This is a video portal oper­ated by You­Tube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, 94066 San Bruno, CA, USA, here­in­after referred to as “You­Tube”.

You­Tube is a sub­si­di­ary of Google LLC, 1600 Amphi­theatre Park­way, Moun­tain View, CA 94043 USA, here­in­after referred to as “Google”.

Through cer­ti­fic­a­tion accord­ing to the EU-US Pri­vacy Shield

https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active

Google and its sub­si­di­ary You­Tube guar­an­tee that they will fol­low the EU’s data pro­tec­tion reg­u­la­tions when pro­cessing data in the United States.

We use You­Tube in its advanced pri­vacy mode to show you videos. The leg­al basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legit­im­ate interest lies in improv­ing the qual­ity of our web­site. Accord­ing to You­Tube, the advanced pri­vacy mode means that the data spe­cified below will only be trans­mit­ted to the You­Tube serv­er if you actu­ally start a video.

Without this mode, a con­nec­tion to the You­Tube serv­er in the USA will be estab­lished as soon as you access any of our webpages on which a You­Tube video is embed­ded.

This con­nec­tion is required in order to be able to dis­play the respect­ive video on our web­site with­in your browser. You­Tube will record and pro­cess at a min­im­um your IP address, the date and time the video was dis­played, as well as the web­site you vis­ited. In addi­tion, a con­nec­tion to the Double­Click advert­ising net­work of Google is estab­lished.

If you are logged in to You­Tube when you access our site, You­Tube will assign the con­nec­tion inform­a­tion to your You­Tube account. To pre­vent this, you must either log out of You­Tube before vis­it­ing our site or make the appro­pri­ate set­tings in your You­Tube account.

For the pur­pose of func­tion­al­ity and ana­lys­is of usage beha­vi­or, You­Tube per­man­ently stores cook­ies on your device via your browser. If you do not agree to this pro­cessing, you have the option of pre­vent­ing the install­a­tion of cook­ies by mak­ing the appro­pri­ate set­tings in your browser. Fur­ther details can be found in the sec­tion about cook­ies above.

Online job applic­a­tions / pub­lic­a­tion of job advert­ise­ments

We offer you the oppor­tun­ity to apply for jobs with our com­pany via our web­site. In the case of these digit­al applic­a­tions, we col­lect your applic­a­tion data elec­tron­ic­ally in order to pro­cess your applic­a­tion.

The leg­al basis for this pro­cessing is §26 Para. 1 S. 1 BDSG in con­junc­tion with Art. 88 Para. 1 GDPR.

If you are hired as a res­ult of the applic­a­tion pro­cess, we will store the data you provide dur­ing the applic­a­tion pro­cess in your per­son­nel file for the pur­pose of the usu­al organ­iz­a­tion­al and admin­is­trat­ive pro­cess, nat­ur­ally in com­pli­ance with fur­ther leg­al oblig­a­tions.

The leg­al basis for this pro­cessing is §26 Para. 1 S. 1 BDSG in con­junc­tion with Art. 88 Para. 1 GDPR.

If we do not hire you, we will auto­mat­ic­ally delete the data sub­mit­ted to us two months after the final decision is made. We will not delete the data, how­ever, if we must store the data for leg­al reas­ons such as evid­ence of equal treat­ment of applic­ants, until any leg­al action is con­cluded, or four months.

In this case, the leg­al basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR and §24 Para. 1 No. 2 BDSG. Our legit­im­ate interest lies in any leg­al defense we may have to mount .

If you expressly con­sent to a longer stor­age of your data, e.g. for your inclu­sion in a data­base of applic­ants or inter­ested parties, the data will be pro­cessed fur­ther on the basis of your con­sent. The leg­al basis is then Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You may with­draw your con­sent at any time with future effect per Art. 7 Para. 3 GDPR with future effect.
