2. General remarks and mandatory information

Data protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection provisions and this data protection policy. Various personal data is collected when you use this website. Personal data refers to data that can be used to identify you personally.

This data protection policy explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how that happens and for what purpose. Please note that transferring data on the Internet (e.g. communication via e-mail) may pose security issues. Seamless protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Right to complain to a competent supervisory authority

Data subjects have a right to complain to the competent regulatory authority in the event of data protection breaches. The competent supervisory authority for issues relating to data protection is the regional data protection officer of the German federal state in which our company has its registered office.

A list of the data protection officers and their contact details can be found via the following link: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.

Right to data portability

You have the right to receive, or have transmitted to a third party, data that we process in an automated manner on the basis of your consent or in the performance of a contract. Such data will be provided in a commonly used, machine-readable format.

If you request the direct transfer of the data to a different controller, this will only be done if it is technically feasible.

Information, blocking, erasure

Under the applicable statutory provisions, you are entitled to receive information at any time and at no charge about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients and the purpose of data processing and, where appropriate, to have such data rectified, blocked or erased.

Cookies

The website uses cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain any viruses. The purpose of cookies is to make our website more user-friendly, more effective and more secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer by your Internet browser.

Most cookies used by us are what are known as ‘session cookies’. They are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser on your next visit. You can configure your browser so that you are notified when cookies are set and only allow cookies in individual cases, prevent cookies from being set in certain cases or in general, and elect to have cookies deleted automatically when the browser is closed.

The functionality of this website may be restricted if you deactivate cookies.

Cookies that are required for electronic communication processes or to provide certain functions you require (e.g. shopping basket function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing the cookies to enable it to provide its services in a technically flawless and optimised manner.

If other cookies (e.g. cookies for analysing your browsing behaviour) are stored, these are treated separately in this data protection policy.

Server log files

The site provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files that your browser automatically transfers to us. This information comprises:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Time of server request.
  • IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources. The basis of data processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or precontractual measures.

Contact form

If you would like to use our contact form to send us queries, the information you provide on the query form, including contact details, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the query and in case of any follow-on questions. We will not forward this data without your consent.

The data entered into the contact form is therefore processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).

You may revoke this consent at any time. To do so, simply notify us by e-mail. The lawfulness of any data processing performed up to the point of revocation shall not be affected by the revocation.

We retain the data you enter into the contact form until you ask us to delete it or revoke your consent to the data being stored or until the storage purpose lapses (e.g. once your query has been processed). This is without prejudice to binding legal stipulations, especially retention periods.
