Furthermore, the IP addresses of the requesting computers are logged. However, the controller cannot personally identify or make conclusions about the person.

This data is only needed to display the content of our website correctly, to continuously optimize the content for you, and to support legal proceedings in case of cyberattacks.

If personal data (such as name, address, e-mail address, etc.) is collected on this website, this is done with your consent and knowledge.

The personal data collected and processed by us is done so in accordance with the provisions of the German Telemedia Act (TMG), the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). A revocation of your consent is possible at any time.

USE AND DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL DATA

If you have provided us with personal data, we shall only use it in accordance with European and German data protection regulations to respond to your inquiries, to establish, process and terminate contracts concluded with you, for technical administration and, possibly, to advertise our products and services to you, and shall do so only if we have your consent or if this is permitted by law.

Your personal data will only be disclosed or otherwise transferred to third parties if this is necessary for the purpose of fulfilling the contract (in particular, the disclosure of order data when involving service providers and/or suppliers, etc.), if this is necessary for billing purposes, or if you have given your prior consent. You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

SHOPPING CART

All the personal data and other information that you provide to us will only be collected and processed for the purpose of fulfilling a contract based on Art. 6(1)(1)(b) GDPR. If such data is not provided, it is unfortunately not possible for us to accept your order online. An automated decision-making process is not employed.

A transfer of the personal data that you have provided to a third country or an international organization does not and will not take place and is not planned. A transfer of your personal data to external third parties does not and will not take place. The personal data that you provide to us will be stored by us for the duration of the processing of your order and will be stored in accordance with the legal retention period. After the legal retention period has expired, said data will be immediately deleted or blocked.

USER LOG-IN

We process the personal data provided by you exclusively within the framework of the contractual relationship as well as to respond to your inquiries.

If a contractual relationship is formed, we will provide you with the required information according to Art. 13 GDPR.

RIGHTS OF DATA SUBJECTS

According to Art. 15 GDPR, you have the right to information about the processing of your personal data.

Furthermore, you are free to exercise your rights to rectification, erasure or, if erasure is not possible, restriction of processing and data portability in accordance with Articles 16-18, 20 GDPR. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact our data protection officer.

You also have the right to file a complaint with the responsible supervisory authority at any time. If you believe that your personal data is not being processed in a manner that is compliant with data protection laws, please contact our data protection officer.

Finally, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time in accordance with Art. 13(2)(b) GDPR.

PROTECTION OF THE STORED DATA

We use technical and organizational security measures to protect the personal data that you have made available to us from manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons. Our security measures are being continuously improved and kept up to date with the current state of technology. However, it cannot be ruled out that data transmitted by you in unencrypted form may be viewed by third parties during transmission. We cannot guarantee a conclusively secure transmission with regard to data transmission via the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail). Sensitive data should therefore either not be transmitted at all or only via a secure connection (SSL).

PROTECTION OF MINORS

Only a person of legal age can consent to the processing of personal data. The consent of a person who is not of legal age, but is at least sixteen, is permissible for information society services pursuant to Art. 8 GDPR.

STORAGE OF ANYONIMIZED DATA/COOKIES

On this website, usage data is collected and stored in anonymized form. So-called “cookies” may be used for this purpose. These are text files that are stored on your computer and allow an analysis of your use of the website. However, these collect and store the data, but do so exclusively in pseudonymous form. They are not used to identify you personally and are not merged with data related to the bearer of the pseudonym. We use this information to determine how attractive our website is and how to improve its content.

It is also possible to use this website without cookies. If you do not give your consent, then no cookies will be set.
