2) Data collection when visiting our website

If you use our website for informational purposes only, i.e., if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect data that your browser transmits to our server (so-called "server log files"). When you visit our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display the website to you:

• Our visited website
• Date and time of access
• Amount of data sent in bytes
• Source/reference from which you came to the page
• Browser used
• Operating system used
• IP address used (if applicable: in anonymized form)

Processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR based on our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data will not be shared or used for any other purpose. However, we reserve the right to subsequently review the server log files if there are concrete indications of illegal use.

3) Cookies

To make visiting our website more attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use so-called cookies on various pages. These are small text files that are stored on your device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted after the end of the browser session, i.e. after you close your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your device and enable us or our partner companies (third-party cookies) to recognize your browser the next time you visit (persistent cookies). If cookies are set, they collect and process certain user information to an individual extent, such as browser and location data as well as IP address values. Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period of time, which can vary depending on the cookie.

In some cases, cookies are used to simplify the ordering process by saving settings (e.g., remembering the contents of a virtual shopping cart for a later visit to the website). If personal data is also processed through individual cookies implemented by us, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR either to execute the contract or in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR to protect our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website and a customer-friendly and effective design of the site visit.

We may work with advertising partners who help us make our website more interesting for you. For this purpose, cookies from partner companies will also be stored on your hard drive when you visit our website (third-party cookies). If we work with the aforementioned advertising partners, you will be informed individually and separately about the use of such cookies and the scope of the information collected in each case in the paragraphs below.

6) Analysis tools and advertising

6.1 Google Analytics

This website uses features of the web analysis service Google Analytics, provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses "cookies," which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website is typically transferred to a Google server in the United States and stored there.

Google Analytics cookies are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising.

Contract data processing

We have concluded a contract for order data processing with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Demographic characteristics in Google Analytics

This website uses the "demographics" feature of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be created that contain information 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 parties. This data cannot be assigned to a specific individual. You can deactivate this feature at any time via the ad settings in your Google Account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics.

7) Tools and Other

7.1 Google reCAPTCHA

On this website, we also use the reCAPTCHA function from Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). This function is primarily used to distinguish whether an input has been made by a natural person or has been misused through machine and automated processing. This service includes sending the IP address and, if applicable, other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google and is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in determining the individual's willfulness of actions on the Internet and preventing misuse and spam.

Google LLC, based in the USA, is certified for the US-European data protection agreement “Privacy Shield”, which guarantees compliance with the data protection level applicable in the EU.

Further information about Google reCAPTCHA and Google's privacy policy can be found at: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/

7.3 Google Web Fonts

This website uses so-called web fonts provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google") for the consistent display of fonts. When you visit a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display text and fonts correctly.

For this purpose, the browser you use must establish a connection to Google's servers. This allows Google to know that our website was accessed via your IP address. Google Web Fonts are used in the interest of a consistent and appealing presentation of our online offerings. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used.

Google LLC, based in the USA, is certified for the US-European data protection agreement “Privacy Shield”, which guarantees compliance with the data protection level applicable in the EU.

Further information about Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

8) Rights of the data subject

8.1 Rights of data subjects

The applicable data protection law grants you comprehensive rights as a data subject (rights to information and intervention) vis-à-vis the controller with regard to the processing of your personal data, about which we will inform you below:

Right to information in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR: In particular, you have the right to information about your personal data processed by us, the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data processed, the recipients or categories of recipients to whom your data have been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period or the criteria for determining the storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection to processing, complaint to a supervisory authority, the origin of your data if it was not collected from you by us, the existence of automated decision-making including profiling and, if applicable, meaningful information about the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such processing concerning you, as well as your right to information about the guarantees in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR when your data is transferred to third countries;

Right to rectification in accordance with Art. 16 GDPR: You have the right to have any incorrect data concerning you rectified without delay and/or to have any incomplete data stored by us completed;

• Right to erasure pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR: You have the right to request the erasure of your personal data if the requirements of Art. 17 (1) GDPR are met. However, this right does not apply if processing is necessary to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information, to fulfill a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest, or to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.
• Right to restriction of processing in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR: You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data as long as the accuracy of your data, which you contest, is being verified, if you refuse to delete your data due to inadmissible data processing and instead request the restriction of the processing of your data, if you need your data to assert, exercise or defend legal claims after we no longer need this data after the purpose has been achieved or if you have lodged an objection for reasons related to your particular situation, as long as it has not yet been determined whether our legitimate reasons outweigh yours;
• Right to information pursuant to Art. 19 GDPR: If you have asserted your right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing vis-à-vis the controller, the controller is obligated to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you was disclosed of this rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing, unless doing so proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. You have the right to be informed about these recipients.
• Right to data portability according to Art. 20 GDPR: You have the right to receive your personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format or to request that it be transmitted to another controller, where technically feasible.
• Right to revoke consent granted in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR: You have the right to revoke your consent to the processing of data at any time with future effect. In the event of revocation, we will delete the data in question immediately, unless further processing can be based on a legal basis for processing without consent. The revocation of consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent up to the time of revocation;
• Right to lodge a complaint pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR: If you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you violates the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

8.2 RIGHT OF OBJECTION:

If we process your personal data based on our overriding legitimate interest as part of a balancing of interests, you have the right to object to this processing at any time with future effect for reasons arising from your particular situation.

If you exercise your right of objection, we will stop processing the data in question. However, we reserve the right to continue processing if we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms, or if the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.

If we process your personal data for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such advertising purposes. You can exercise your objection as described above.

If you exercise your right of objection, we will stop processing the data concerned for direct marketing purposes.

9) Duration of storage of personal data

The duration of storage of personal data is determined by the respective statutory retention period (e.g., retention periods under commercial and tax law). After expiration of this period, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted unless it is no longer required for the fulfillment or initiation of a contract and/or we no longer have a legitimate interest in continued storage.
