Privacy Policy
As a user of our website, this privacy policy provides you with all the necessary information about how, to what extent, and for what purpose we or third-party providers collect and use your data. The collection and use of your data are strictly in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG). We are particularly committed to the confidentiality of your personal data and therefore work strictly within the limits set by legal requirements. The collection of this personal data is on a voluntary basis, where possible. We also only share this data with third parties with your express consent. For particularly sensitive data, such as in payment transactions or with regard to your inquiries to us, we ensure high security by using SSL encryption. However, we do not want to fail to point out the general dangers of internet use, over which we have no influence. Especially in email communication, your data is not secure without further precautions and can under certain circumstances be intercepted by third parties.
Information, Deletion, Blocking
You can at any time request free information about the personal data stored by us about you, as well as the origin, recipient, and purpose of data collection and data processing. You also have the right to request the correction, blocking, or deletion of your data. This does not apply to data that must be retained due to legal regulations or is required for proper business operations. To ensure that data can be blocked at any time, data is kept in a blocking file for control purposes. If data is not subject to a legal archiving obligation, we will delete your data at your request. If the archiving obligation applies, we will block your data. For all questions and concerns regarding the correction, blocking, or deletion of personal data, please contact our data protection officer at the contact details provided in this privacy policy or at the address given in the imprint.
Cookies
We use cookies on our website. These small text files are stored on your PC from our server. They support the display of our website and help you navigate our website. Cookies collect data on your IP address, your browser, your operating system, and your internet connection. We do not link this information with personal data and do not pass it on to third parties. Under no circumstances do we use cookies to introduce malicious or spyware programs onto your computer. You can also use our website without the use of cookies, which may limit some displays and functions of our offerings. If you wish to deactivate cookies, you can do so through specific settings in your browser. Please use its help function to make the corresponding changes. You can manage online advertising cookies via the following links: http://www.aboutads.info/choices for the USA http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices for Europe
Provision of paid services
If you wish to use the paid services and offerings on our website, we may need to collect further data from you for billing purposes and for security reasons. This regularly concerns your name, a valid email address and, if applicable, your address and telephone number, as well as, depending on the individual case, further information. This may also include content that allows us to verify the data provided, such as your ownership of the specified email address. For legal reasons, we must ensure that you actually wish to receive the services offered and that we can properly invoice you for the service. For the security of your data in payment transactions, we work with the SSL encryption standard, recognizable by the browser line "https://".
Collection of access data
The technical delivery and display of content via our website requires the collection of certain data. When you access our website, these so-called server log files are collected by us or the web space provider. These log files do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about you and your person. The corresponding information consists of the name of the website, the file, the current date, the amount of data, the web browser and its version, the operating system used, the domain name of your internet provider, the referrer URL as the page from which you switched to our page, and the corresponding IP address. We use this data for the display and delivery of our content as well as for statistical purposes. The information supports the provision and continuous improvement of our offer. We also reserve the right to retrospectively check the data mentioned if there is a suspicion of unlawful use of our offer.
Content and services from third-party providers
The content on our website may also include content, services, and offerings from other providers that supplement our offering. Examples of such offerings are maps from Google Maps, YouTube videos, or third-party graphic representations. Accessing these third-party services regularly requires the transmission of your IP address. This enables these providers to perceive your user's IP address and also to store it. We make every effort to include only those third-party providers who use IP addresses solely for the delivery of content. However, we have no influence over which third-party provider may store the IP address. This storage can serve, for example, statistical purposes. Should we become aware of storage processes by third-party providers, we will inform our users of this fact immediately. Please also note in this context the special data protection declarations for individual third-party providers and service providers whose service we use on our website. You will also find them in this privacy policy.
Newsletter
You can subscribe to our newsletter on our website. We need your email address for this. In addition, in compliance with the relevant legal regulations, we must check whether you are actually the owner of the specified email address and wish to receive the newsletter. We therefore collect information that makes such verification possible. The data collected in this context serves for sending and receiving the newsletter. It has a different purpose and will not be passed on to third parties. No other data will be collected by us apart from the information necessary for sending the newsletter. Since sending and receiving the newsletter depends on your consent, you can revoke this consent for the collection and storage of your data at any time without giving reasons. To do so, use the "unsubscribe link" provided in the newsletter.
Personal Data
We collect personal data only to the extent and for as long as it is necessary for the use of our website or as required by law, within the framework of data minimization and data economy. We take the protection of your personal data seriously and strictly adhere to the relevant legal provisions and this privacy policy when collecting and processing personal data. If the purpose of data collection ceases to exist or the end of the statutory retention period is reached, the collected data will be blocked or deleted. Our website can generally be used without providing personal data. If we collect personal data - such as your name, address, or email address - this data collection is voluntary. Without your express consent, this data will not be disclosed to third parties. Please note that data on the internet is generally not always transmitted securely. Especially in email communication, protection during data exchange cannot be guaranteed.
Server Log Files
Server log files are anonymized data collected when you access our website. This information does not allow for personal identification but is indispensable for the technical delivery and display of our content. Furthermore, it serves our statistics and the continuous optimization of our content. Typical log files include the date and time of access, the amount of data, the browser used for access and its version, the operating system used, the domain name of your internet provider, the page from which you came to our offer (referrer URL), and your IP address. Log files also allow for a precise examination in case of suspected unlawful use of our website.
SSL Encryption
Our website uses SSL encryption when it comes to the transmission of confidential or personal content of our users. This encryption is activated, for example, during payment processing and for inquiries that you send to us via our website. Please ensure that SSL encryption is activated on your end for corresponding activities. The use of encryption is easy to recognize: The display in your browser line changes from "http://" to "https://". Data encrypted via SSL cannot be read by third parties. Only transmit your confidential information with activated SSL encryption and, if in doubt, contact us.
Objection to advertising emails
As part of the legal impressum obligation, we must publish our contact details. These are sometimes used by third parties to send unwanted advertising and information. We hereby object to any transmission of advertising material of any kind not expressly authorized by us. We also expressly reserve the right to take legal action against the unwanted and unsolicited sending of advertising material. This applies in particular to so-called spam emails, spam letters, and spam faxes. We point out that the unauthorized transmission of advertising material can affect competition law, civil law, and criminal law. Especially spam emails and spam faxes can lead to high claims for damages if they disrupt business operations by overflowing mailboxes or fax machines.
Encrypted payment transactions
We secure your data in payment transactions. For this reason, for security reasons and to protect your confidential and personal content during transmission in payment transactions, our site uses SSL encryption. You yourself can determine whether SSL encryption is activated or not. You can recognize the use of encryption by the address bar of the browser. Only if the regular display changes from "http://" to "https://" is the data transfer encrypted. The browser line "https://" indicates the use of SSL encryption; payment transactions are now encrypted. With the activation of SSL encryption, it becomes impossible for third parties to read your confidential data. Therefore, only transmit your data with activated SSL encryption.
Facebook Plugin
You will find plugins of the social network Facebook on our website. Its provider is Facebook Inc., located in the USA, California 94025, 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park. The Facebook logo or the "Like-Button" on our page clearly identifies the Facebook plugins for you. Please also note the overview of Facebook plugins at http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. When you visit our website, we establish a direct connection to the Facebook server via the plugin. You are then connected there via your browser. For Facebook, this means that the information that you have visited our website with your IP address is linked. By clicking on the Facebook "Like-Button," you link content from our website to your profile on Facebook. For Facebook, the visit to our page can be assigned to your user account. We have no knowledge of the type of content transmitted to Facebook and how Facebook uses it. You can find more information on data collection and data use in the Facebook privacy policy, which you can find at http://de-de.facebook.com/policy.php. You can prevent the assignment of your visit to our page to your Facebook profile by simply logging out of your Facebook account beforehand.
Google AdWords
We use Google AdWords, an online advertising program from Google Inc., on our website. Conversion tracking is also used here. With this tool, Google AdWords places a cookie on your PC when you come to our website via a Google ad. The cookie is no longer valid after 30 days. It is not used for personal traceability. If you, as a user, visit our website and the cookie is still active, we and Google can see that you clicked on the corresponding ad and were redirected to our site. A different cookie is assigned to each Google AdWords customer. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across the websites of AdWords customers. The data collected by conversion cookies is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers. As customers, we thus learn the total number of users who responded to our ad and were then redirected to a website that was tagged with a conversion tracking tag. We do not receive any information in this process that could personally identify you as a user. Should you reject the tracking process, the Google conversion tracking cookie can be deactivated via your internet browser. If necessary, use the browser's help function for more information. Further details on Google's privacy policy can be found at http://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.
Privacy policy regarding the use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)
The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis is the collection, gathering, and evaluation of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data about which website a data subject has come from (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed, or how often and for what duration a subpage was viewed. Web analysis is predominantly used to optimize a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.
The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
For web analysis via Google Analytics, the controller uses the addition "_gat._anonymizeIp". By means of this addition, the IP address of the data subject's internet connection is shortened and anonymized by Google if access to our websites takes place from a member state of the European Union or from another contracting state of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the flow of visitors to our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us that show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each call of one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission settlements.
By means of the cookie, personal information, for example, the access time, the location from which an access originated and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject, is stored. With each visit to our websites, these personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, are transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies, as already described above. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the data subject's information technology system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility to object to and prevent the collection of data generated by Google Analytics related to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google. To do this, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on from the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered an objection by Google. If the data subject's information technology system is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later date, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person attributable to their sphere of influence, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.
Further information and Google's current privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at this link https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.
Privacy Policy for the Use and Application of Google Remarketing
The controller has integrated Google Remarketing services on this website. Google Remarketing is a function of Google AdWords that allows a company to display advertisements to Internet users who have previously visited the company's website. The integration of Google Remarketing therefore allows a company to create user-related advertising and consequently to display interest-relevant advertisements to the Internet user.
The operating company of Google Remarketing services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The purpose of Google Remarketing is the display of interest-relevant advertising. Google Remarketing allows us to display advertisements via the Google advertising network or to have them displayed on other websites that are tailored to the individual needs and interests of Internet users.
Google Remarketing sets a cookie on the data subject's information technology system. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to recognize a visitor to our website if they subsequently access websites that are also members of the Google advertising network. With each call-up of a website on which the Google Remarketing service has been integrated, the internet browser of the data subject automatically identifies itself to Google. Within the scope of this technical procedure, Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address or surfing behavior of the user, which Google uses, among other things, to display interest-relevant advertising.
By means of the cookie, personal information, for example the websites visited by the data subject, is stored. With each visit to our websites, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies, as already described above. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the data subject's information technology system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must access the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each internet browser they use and make the desired settings there.
Further information and Google's current privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
Google Maps Plugin
We use a plugin for the internet service Google Maps on our website. The operator of Google Maps is Google Inc., located in the USA, CA 94043, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View. By using Google Maps on our website, information about the use of this website and your IP address will be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored on this server. We have no knowledge of the exact content of the transmitted data, nor of its use by Google. The company denies, in this context, the connection of the data with information from other Google services and the collection of personal data. However, Google may transmit the information to third parties. If you deactivate Javascript in your browser, you prevent the execution of Google Maps. However, you will then not be able to use the map display on our website. By using our website, you declare your consent to the described collection and processing of information by Google Inc. You can find more information on the data protection regulations and terms of use for Google Maps here: https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps.html.
Google+ Plugin
We use Google+ functions on our website. The social network is offered by Google Inc., located in the USA, CA 94043, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View. Google+ allows you to publish content globally via its button. You are also offered personalized content from Google and partner providers. Google stores your rating (+1) for content and information from websites that you clicked on when giving a +1. Your +1 rating can be displayed with your profile name and photo in other Google services. Google collects your overall +1 activities. This collection serves to optimize and personalize Google's offer for you. To use the Google+ platform, you create a globally visible profile under a name of your choice. The chosen name also applies to other Google services. Anyone who knows your email address can thus reach your Google+ profile. Google uses the collected data within the framework of its data protection regulations, among other things, to create statistics that are summarized and passed on to partner companies or otherwise used. Details on the use of the data and the data protection regulations can be viewed at http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/. The link also contains information on the individual setting of data protection on Google+.
Instagram Plugin
We also integrate functions of the online service Instagram on our website. The provider of these functions is Instagram Inc., located in the USA, CA 94025, 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park. The Instagram button allows you to link to your Instagram account when visiting our pages, provided you are logged in to Instagram. Instagram thus receives information about your visit to our website and can assign this visit to your Instagram profile. We have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted information or its use by Instagram. You can find more information on data collection and data use by Instagram in the Instagram privacy policy at http://instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/.
Twitter Plugin
We also use functions of the microblogging service Twitter on our website. The operator of Twitter is Twitter Inc. The US company is located in the USA, San Francisco, CA 94103, 1355 Market St, Suite 900. The main function of Twitter is the "Tweet function". If you use this via our website, a link to your Twitter account will be established. Data exchange with other users and data transfer to Twitter may occur. We receive no knowledge of the content of the data sent to Twitter, nor are we informed about its use. Please inform yourself about these questions at http://twitter.com/privacy. There you will find Twitter's detailed privacy policy. Furthermore, the platform offers you the possibility to design your privacy settings yourself at http://twitter.com/account/settings.
XING-Plugin
We use functions of XING on our website, a network that particularly aims to promote professional contacts among its members. The provider of this network is XING AG, located at Dammtorstraße 29-32 in 20354 Hamburg. When one of our pages containing XING functions is accessed, a connection to XING servers is established. We have no knowledge that XING stores personal data. To our knowledge, XING does not evaluate or store IP addresses. If you would like more information on XING's data protection, you can access the XING data protection declaration via the link https://www.xing.com/app/share?op=data_protection. There you will also find more information about the XING Share Button.
Data Protection Regulations for the Use and Application of Jetpack for WordPress
The controller has integrated Jetpack on this website. Jetpack is a WordPress plug-in that offers additional functions to the operator of a WordPress-based website. Among other things, Jetpack allows the website operator an overview of the visitors to the site. By displaying related posts and publications or the possibility to share content on the site, an increase in visitor numbers is also possible. In addition, security functions are integrated into Jetpack, so that a website using Jetpack is better protected against brute-force attacks. Jetpack also optimizes and accelerates the loading of images integrated on the website.
The operating company of the Jetpack plug-in for WordPress is Automattic Inc., 132 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. The operating company uses the tracking technology of Quantcast Inc., 201 Third Street, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA.
Jetpack sets a cookie on the data subject's information technology system. What cookies are has already been explained above. With each call-up of one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Jetpack component has been integrated, the internet browser on the data subject's information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective Jetpack component to transmit data for analysis purposes to Automattic. Within the scope of this technical procedure, Automattic obtains knowledge of data which is subsequently used to create an overview of website visits. The data thus obtained is used to analyze the behavior of the data subject who has accessed the controller's website and is evaluated with the aim of optimizing the website. The data collected via the Jetpack component is not used to identify the data subject without prior separate express consent of the data subject. The data also comes to the knowledge of Quantcast. Quantcast uses the data for the same purposes as Automattic.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies, as already described above. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Automattic/Quantcast from setting a cookie on the data subject's information technology system. In addition, cookies already set by Automattic can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility to object to and prevent the collection of data generated by the Jetpack cookie relating to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Automattic/Quantcast. To do this, the data subject must click the opt-out button at the link https://www.quantcast.com/opt-out/, which sets an opt-out cookie. The opt-out cookie set with the objection is stored on the information technology system used by the data subject. If the cookies on the data subject's system are deleted after an objection, the data subject must access the link again and set a new opt-out cookie.
However, by setting the opt-out cookie, there is a possibility that the controller's websites may no longer be fully usable for the data subject.
Automattic's current privacy policy can be accessed at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Quantcast's current privacy policy can be accessed at https://www.quantcast.com/privacy/.
Payment method: Data protection regulations for PayPal as a payment method
The controller has integrated PayPal components on this website. PayPal is an online payment service provider. Payments are processed via so-called PayPal accounts, which are virtual private or business accounts. In addition, PayPal offers the option of processing virtual payments via credit cards if a user does not have a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed via an email address, which is why there is no classic account number. PayPal makes it possible to initiate online payments to third parties or to receive payments. PayPal also takes on trustee functions and offers buyer protection services.
The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.
If the data subject selects "PayPal" as a payment option during the ordering process in our online shop, data of the data subject is automatically transmitted to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, the data subject consents to the transmission of personal data required for payment processing.
The personal data transmitted to PayPal usually includes first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number or other data necessary for payment processing. Personal data related to the respective order is also necessary for the processing of the purchase contract.
The purpose of the data transmission is payment processing and fraud prevention. The controller will transmit personal data to PayPal in particular if there is a legitimate interest in the transmission. The personal data exchanged between PayPal and the controller may be transmitted by PayPal to credit agencies. This transmission is for the purpose of identity and creditworthiness checks.
PayPal may pass on personal data to affiliated companies and service providers or subcontractors insofar as this is necessary to fulfill contractual obligations or if the data is to be processed on behalf of PayPal.
The data subject has the option to revoke consent to the handling of personal data by PayPal at any time. A revocation does not affect personal data that must be processed, used or transmitted for (contractual) payment processing.
PayPal's current privacy policy can be found at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.
Google Web Fonts
Google Web Fonts are implemented on this website. These enable the display of fonts. By using Google Web Fonts, an external server of Google in the USA is called when using this offer, i.e. Google is theoretically informed about the use of the offer. Further data protection information can be found on the pages of the provider "Google".
Fontawesome
The following overview provides an overview of third-party providers and their content, including links to their privacy policies, which contain further information on data processing and, in some cases already mentioned here, possibilities of objection (so-called opt-out): External fonts from Font Awesome, Inc., https://fontawesome.com/. The fonts are integrated by a server call to Font Awesome in the USA. Privacy policy: https://fontawesome.com/privacy.
