Thank you for visiting our website. Protection of your privacy is very important to us.Below you will find extensive information about how we handle your data.

1. Access data and hosting

You may visit our website without revealing any personal information. With every visit on the website, the web server stores automatically only a so-called server log file which contains e.g. the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of the request, the volume of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data), and documents the request. These access data are analysed exclusively for the purpose of ensuring the smooth operation of the website and improving our online appearance. This serves according to Art. 6 (1) 1 lit. f GDPR the protection of our legitimate interests in the proper presentation of our online appearance that are overriding in the process of balancing of interests.

 Hosting

The services for hosting and displaying the website are partly provided by our service providers on the basis of processing on our behalf. Unless otherwise stated in this privacy policy, all access data and all data collected in forms provided for this purpose on this website are processed on their servers. If you have any questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please use the contact option described in this privacy policy.

2. Data processing for the purposes of establishing contact and customer communication

2.1 User account

We collect personal data that you voluntarily submit to us when you contact us (e.g. via contact form or by email) or open a user account with us. Mandatory fields are marked as such because we absolutely need those data to process your contact request or open your user account, and you would otherwise not be able to create your user account or send the contact request. It is evident in each input form what data are collected.

We use the data that you disclose to us to process your enquiries according to Art. 6

(1) (b) GDPR. Upon deletion of your customer account, any further processing of your data will be restricted, and your data will be deleted upon expiry of the retention period applicable under relevant regulations, unless you expressly consent to the further use of your data or we reserve the right to further use your personal data in the scope and manner permitted by law, of which we inform you in this notice. Your user account can be deleted at any time. For this purpose you can either send a message to the contact option specified below or use the relevant function available in the user account.

2.2 Establishing contact

We collect personal data if you voluntarily provide it when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail). Mandatory fields are marked as such because in these cases we necessarily need the data to process your contact and you cannot send the contact without providing it. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide to process your enquiries in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

After complete processing of your enquiry, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after expiry of the retention periods under tax and commercial law in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this privacy policy.

3. Marketing via e-mail, mail, telephone

3.1 Email newsletter with subscription, newsletter tracking with separate consent

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we will regularly send you our email newsletter based on your consent according to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, using the data required or disclosed by you separately for this purpose.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. This can either be done by sending a message to the contact option described in this privacy policy or via a link provided for this purpose in the newsletter. After unsubscribing, we will delete your e-mail address from the list of recipients, unless you have expressly consented to the further use of your data or we have reserved the right to use your data for other purposes that are permitted by law and about which we inform you in this privacy policy.

If you have additionally given us your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) 1 a GDPR to analyse our newsletter, we will also analyse your interaction with our newsletter by measuring, storing and evaluating opening rates and click-through rates for the purpose of designing future newsletter campaigns ("newsletter tracking").

For this evaluation, the emails sent contain single-pixel technologies (e.g. so-called web beacons, tracking pixels) that are stored on our website. For the evaluations, we link the following "newsletter data" in particular

• the page from which the page was requested (so-called referrer URL),
• the date and time of the request,
• the description of the type of web browser used,
• the IP address of the requesting computer,
• the e-mail address,
• the date and time of registration and confirmation

and the single-pixel technologies with your e-mail address or your IP address and, if applicable, an individual ID. Links contained in the newsletter may also contain this ID.

Unsubscribing from newsletter tracking is possible at any time and can be done either by sending a message to the contact option described or via a link provided for this purpose in the newsletter.

The information is stored for as long as you are subscribed to the newsletter.

3.2 Newsletter mailing

The newsletter and the newsletter tracking shown above may also be sent by our service providers as part of processing on our behalf. If you have any questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please use the contact option described in this privacy policy.

3.3 Postal advertising and your right to opt out

Furthermore, we reserve the right to use your first and last name and your postal address for our advertising purposes, e.g. for sending interesting offers and information about our products by post. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in promoting and advertising our products to customers according to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR that are overriding in the process of balancing of interests. You can opt out of the storage and use of your data for these purposes at any time by sending a message to the contact option specified below.

The advertisements are sent to you by our service provider who processes data on our behalf and to whom we disclose your data for this purpose.

3.4 Phone advertising

If you have given your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, we will use the data required for this purpose or provided separately by you for our own advertising purposes, e.g. to inform you about interesting offers and our products. You can withdraw your consent at any time, either by sending a message to the contact option described in this privacy policy or by verbal notification within each call. After withdrawal, we will delete your telephone number unless you have expressly consented to the further use of your data or we have reserved the right to use your data for other purposes that are permitted by law and about which we inform you in this privacy policy.

4. Information on third country transfer (data transfer to third countries)

We use technology from service providers on our website whose server locations may be in third countries outside the EU or EEA. This also includes the USA. If, as in the case of the USA, there is no adequacy decision by the EU Commission, an adequate level of data protection must be ensured by means of other suitable guarantees. The ECJ ruled in July 2020 that the Privacy Shield agreement between the EU and the US can no longer be used to transfer personal data to the US. This means that the sectoral adequacy decision has thus been repealed.

Suitable guarantees in the form of contractually agreed standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission or binding internal data protection rules (Binding Corporate Rules) are possible in principle, but require a prior review by the contracting parties as to whether an adequate level of protection can be guaranteed. According to the ECJ ruling, it may be necessary to take additional protective measures for this purpose.

In principle, we have agreed the standard data protection clauses issued by the EU Commission and still valid with the third-party technologies we use that process personal data in a third country such as the USA. Where possible, we also agree on additional safeguards to ensure that sufficient data protection is guaranteed in the USA or other third countries.

Notwithstanding this, it may happen that, despite all contractual and technical measures, the level of data protection in the third country does not correspond to that in the EU. For these cases, we might ask you, in the context of the cookie consent, for your consent in accordance with Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR to the transfer of your personal data to a third country. This refers in particular to the transfer of data to the USA.

In particular, there is a risk that US authorities may not have sufficiently limited access rights to your personal data from an EU perspective without us as the data exporter or you as the data subject being aware of this and you may not have any legal remedies to prevent this or to take action against such access.

The provider of this technology is Papoo Software & Media GmbH - Dr Carsten Euwens, Auguststr. 4, 53229 Bonn, Germany (hereinafter referred to as CCM19).

When you visit our website, a banner appears that allows you to give your consent for certain cookies and cookie-based applications. As long as no consent is given, the cookie consent tool blocks the placement of necessary cookies. The tool collects certain user information when visiting our website, including the IP address, in order to assign page views to individual users and to log the consent settings made and save them during the session. This data is not forwarded to CCM19.

The data collected will be stored until you ask us to delete it. CCM19 will then delete the data manually or as soon as the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected by this.

The use of CCM19 cookie consent technology serves to obtain the legally required consents for the use of necessary cookies and cookie-based applications. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR.

We have concluded an order processing contract with CCM19, which obliges the service provider to protect your data and not to pass it on to third parties.

You can find more information here: https://www.ccm19.de/cookie-banner.html

If you have consented to the use of the technologies in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR, you can revoke your consent at any time by notifying us via the contact option provided in the privacy policy.

 Google Analytics

For the purpose of website analysis, Google Analytics automatically collects and stores data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information as well as information on your use of our website), from which usage profiles are created using pseudonyms. Cookies may be used for this purpose. If you visit our website from the EU, your IP address will be stored on a server located in the EU to derive location data and then deleted immediately before the traffic is forwarded to further Google servers for processing. The data processing is carried out on the basis of an order processing agreement by Google.

For web analytics purposes, the extension function of Google Analytics Google Signals enables so-called "cross-device tracking". If your internet-enabled devices are linked to your Google Account and you have activated the "personalised advertising" setting in your Google Account, Google can generate reports on your usage behaviour (in particular cross-device user numbers), even if you change your device. We do not process personal data in this respect; we only receive statistics based on Google Signals.

For web analytics and advertising purposes, the extension function of Google Analytics enables the so-called DoubleClick cookie to recognize your browser when visiting other websites. Google will use this information to compile reports about your website activities and to provide other services related to the use of the website.

 Demographic characteristics in Google Analytics

This website uses the "demographic characteristics" function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be generated that contain statements about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google as well as visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google account.

 Google Maps

For the visual representation of geographical information, Google Maps collects data on your use of the Maps functions, in particular the IP address and location data, and transmits this data to Google and then processes it by Google. We have no influence on this subsequent data processing.

For the purpose of protection against misuse of our web forms as well as against spam by automated software (so-called bots), Google reCAPTCHA collects data (IP address, time of visit, browser information as well as information on your use of our website) and performs an analysis of your use of our website by means of a so-called JavaScript and cookies. In addition, other cookies stored in your browser by Google services are evaluated. Personal data is not read out or stored from the input fields of the respective form.

Google Tag Manager

By means of the Google Tag Manager, we can manage various codes and services on our website. When implementing the individual tags, Google may also process personal data (e.g. IP address, online identifiers (including cookies)). The data processing is carried out on the basis of an order processing agreement by Google.

By using the Google Tag Manager, a simplified integration of various services/technologies can be achieved.

If you do not wish to use individual tracking services and have therefore deactivated them, the deactivation remains in place for all affected tracking tags that are integrated by the Google Tag Manager.

 YouTube Video Plugin

In order to integrate third party content, data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information) are collected via the YouTube Video Plugin in the expanded data protection mode used by us, transmitted to Google and then processed by Google only when you play a video.
