General use of the website

hosting: The hosting services we use are intended to provide the following services: infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage and database services, security services and technical maintenance services that we use for the purpose of operating the website. In doing so, we or our hosting provider process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, meta and communication data from customers, interested parties and visitors to this online offer on the basis of our legitimate interests in efficiently and securely providing this online offer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 f) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 28 GDPR.

access data: We collect information about you when you use this website. We automatically collect information about your usage behavior and interaction with us and register data about your computer or mobile device. We collect, store and use data about every access to our online offering (so-called server log files). The access data includes:

  • Name and URL of the retrieved file
  • Date and time of retrieval
  • amount of data transferred
  • Successful retrieval message (HTTP response code)

  • operating system
  • referrer URL (i.e. the previously visited page)

  • The user's Internet service provider

We use this log data without attribution to you or other profiling for statistical evaluations for the purpose of operating, security and optimizing our online offering, but also to anonymously record the number of visitors to our website (traffic) and the extent and type of use of our website and services, as well as for billing purposes to measure the number of clicks received from cooperation partners. Based on this information, we can provide personalized and location-based content and analyze traffic, find and fix errors, and improve our services. This is also our legitimate interest in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We reserve the right to review the log data subsequently if, on the basis of concrete evidence, there is a legitimate suspicion of illegal use. We store IP addresses in log files for a limited period of time if this is necessary for security purposes or is necessary for the provision of services or the billing of a service, e.g. when you use one of our offers. After canceling the order process or after receipt of payment, we delete the IP address when it is no longer required for security purposes. We also store IP addresses if we have a specific suspicion of a criminal offence in connection with the use of our website. We also save the date of your last visit as part of your account (e.g. when registering, logging in, clicking links, etc.).

cookies: We use so-called session cookies to optimize our online offering. A session cookie is a small text file that is sent by the respective servers when you visit a website and is cached on your hard drive. This file as such contains a so-called session ID, which can be used to assign various requests from your browser to the joint session. This allows your computer to be recognized when you return to our website. These cookies are deleted after you close your browser. They are used, for example, to enable you to use the shopping cart function across multiple pages. We also use persistent cookies (also small text files that are stored on your device) to a small extent, which remain on your device and allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit. These cookies are stored on your hard drive and are automatically deleted after the specified period of time. Their lifespan is 1 month to 10 years. This allows us to present our offering to you in a more user-friendly, effective and secure way and, for example, to display information specifically tailored to your interests on the page. Our legitimate interest in using cookies in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR is to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure.

Cookies store, for example, the following data and information:

  • Log-in information
  • language settings
  • search terms entered
  • Information about the number of visits to our website and the use of individual functions of our website.

When the cookie is activated, it is assigned an identification number and your personal data is not assigned to this identification number. Your name, IP address or similar data that would allow the cookie to be associated with you are not inserted into the cookie. Based on cookie technology, we only receive pseudonymized information, for example about which pages of our shop have been visited, which products have been viewed, etc. You can set your browser so that you are informed in advance about the setting of cookies and can decide in individual cases whether to exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, or to completely prevent cookies. As a result, the functionality of the website can be restricted.

1. Description and scope of data processing

There is a contact form on our website, which can be used to contact us electronically. If a user makes use of this option, the data entered in the input mask is transmitted to us and stored.

Your information about the processing of the data with reference to this privacy policy will be documented as part of the sending process.

In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data is used exclusively to process the conversation.

1. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for processing the data is your consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. If the email contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO.

2. Purpose of data processing

The processing of personal data from the input form is for us solely to process the contact.

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input screen of the contact form and those sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended.

Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google has submitted to the Privacy Shield Agreement concluded between the European Union and the USA and has certified itself. As a result, Google is committed to complying with the standards and regulations of European data protection law. For more information, see the following linked entry: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active. Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies,” text files that are stored on your computer and allow you to analyze how you use the website. The information generated by the cookie about the use of this website by site visitors is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. This is also our legitimate interest in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, Google will abbreviate your IP address beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there. IP anonymization is active on this website. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services related to website activity and Internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google. You can prevent cookies from being saved by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the transfer of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Storage period: The personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by European or national legislators in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which the person responsible is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted when a storage period prescribed by the above standards expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

data security

We make every effort to secure your data within the framework of applicable data protection laws and technical options. Your personal data is transmitted to us in encrypted form. This applies to your booking and contact requests. We use the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) coding system, but would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) may have security gaps. It is not possible to completely protect data from access by third parties. To secure your data, we maintain technical and organizational security measures in accordance with Art. 32 GDPR, which we constantly adapt to the state of the art. We also do not guarantee that our offer will be available at certain times; faults, interruptions or failures cannot be ruled out. The servers we use are regularly carefully secured.

Transfer of data to third parties, no data transfer to non-EU countries

In principle, we only use your personal data within our company. If and insofar as we engage third parties to fulfill contracts (such as logistics service providers), they will only receive personal data to the extent that the transfer is necessary for the corresponding service. In the event that we outsource certain parts of data processing (“order processing”), we contractually oblige contract processors to use personal data only in accordance with the requirements of data protection laws and to ensure the protection of the rights of the data subject. A transfer of data to bodies or persons outside the EU outside the cases mentioned in this statement in paragraph 2 does not take place and is not planned.
