Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect. An informal email to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract in a common, machine-readable format. If you request direct transfer to another controller, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.
SSL or TLS Encryption

An encrypted connection can be recognized by the browser’s address bar changing from “http://” to “https://” and the lock icon in your browser bar.
When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Encrypted Payment Transactions on This Website
If, after concluding a paid contract, you are required to provide your payment details (e.g., account number), this data is required for payment processing.

3. Data Collection on Our Website
Cookies
Our websites use cookies in part. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit.
You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process or for providing certain functions you desire (e.g., shopping cart function) are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Any other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your browsing behavior) are treated separately in this privacy policy.
Server Log Files
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
- Browser type and browser version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Hostname of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request
- IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data to fulfill a contract or for pre-contractual measures.
Contact Form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your information from the form, including the contact details you provide, will be stored for the purpose of processing the inquiry and for follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.
The processing of data entered into the contact form is thus based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal email to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected.
The data you enter in the contact form remains with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for the data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.
Comment Function on This Website
In addition to your comment, the comment function on this page also stores information about the time the comment was created, your email address, and, if you do not post anonymously, your chosen username.
Storage of IP Address
Our comment function stores the IP addresses of users who post comments. Since we do not check comments before they go live, we need this data to take action against the author in case of legal violations such as insults or propaganda.
Subscribing to Comments
As a user of this site, you can subscribe to comments after registering. You will receive a confirmation email to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address. You can unsubscribe from this feature at any time via a link in the information emails. In that case, the data entered during the comment subscription will be deleted, unless you have provided this data to us for other purposes (e.g., newsletter).
Retention of Comments
The comments and associated data (e.g., IP address) are stored and remain on our website until the content commented upon is completely deleted or the comments must be deleted for legal reasons (e.g., offensive comments).
Legal Basis
Comments are stored based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke this consent at any time. An informal email to us is sufficient. The legality of prior data processing remains unaffected by the revocation.
Processing Data (Customer and Contract Data)
We collect, process, and use personal data only to the extent necessary to establish, structure, or modify the legal relationship (inventory data). This is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data to fulfill a contract or for pre-contractual measures.
We collect, process, and use personal data about the use of our website (usage data) only to the extent necessary to enable the user to use the service or to bill them.
Collected customer data is deleted after the order is completed or the business relationship ends. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
4. Social Media
Sharing Content via Plugins (Facebook, Google+1, Twitter & Co.)
The content on our pages can be shared in compliance with data protection regulations on social networks like Facebook, Twitter, or Google+. This site uses a tool that only establishes direct contact between the networks and users when the user actively clicks on one of these buttons.
There is no automatic transfer of user data to the operators of these platforms via this tool. If the user is logged into one of the social networks, an information window will appear when using the social buttons of Facebook, Google+1, Twitter, etc., where the user can confirm the text before submitting it.
This allows our users to share the content of our site on social networks in a privacy-compliant manner, without full surf profiles being created by the network operators.
5. Analytics Tools and Advertising
Google Analytics
This website uses features of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google Analytics uses “cookies,” which are text files stored on your computer that allow an analysis of how you use the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
IP Anonymization
We have activated the IP anonymization feature on this website. This means that your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.
Browser Plugin
You can prevent cookies from being stored by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software; however, please note that you may not be able to use all the features of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the data generated by the cookie related to your use of the website (including your IP address) from being sent to Google and prevent the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link:

Data Processing Agreement
We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.
Demographic Features in Google Analytics
This website uses the “demographic features” function 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 and third-party visitor data. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can disable this feature at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described under “Objection to Data Collection.”
6. Newsletter
Newsletter Data
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you, along with information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively to send the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.
The processing of the data entered in the newsletter subscription form is based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent to the storage of your data, email address, and its use to send the newsletter at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you provide for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted after you unsubscribe. Data stored for other purposes (e.g., email addresses for the member area) remains unaffected.
7. Plugins and Tools
YouTube
Our website uses plugins from the YouTube site operated by Google. The provider is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.
When you visit one of our pages equipped with a YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited.
If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to directly associate your browsing behavior with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
The use of YouTube is in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offerings. This constitutes a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Further information on the handling of user data can be found in YouTube’s privacy policy at:
https://www.google.de/intl/en/policies/privacy
Google Web Fonts
This site uses so-called web fonts provided by Google to ensure uniform presentation of fonts. When you access a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache to display text and fonts correctly.
To do this, the browser you use must connect to Google’s servers. This informs Google that our website has been accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a consistent and visually appealing presentation of our online services. This constitutes a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used instead.
Further information about Google Web Fonts can be found at:
https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq
and in Google’s privacy policy:

PayPal
On our website, we offer payment via PayPal, among other options. The provider of this payment service is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A.,
22–24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter referred to as “PayPal”).
If you choose to pay via PayPal, the payment details you provide will be transmitted to PayPal.
The transmission of your data to PayPal is based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent) and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (processing for the performance of a contract). You may revoke your consent at any time. A revocation does not affect the legality of data processing operations carried out before the revocation.
Alternative Dispute Resolution under Art. 14(1) ODR-VO and § 36 VSBG:
We are not obligated or willing to participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board.
