3. General Information and Mandatory Information

Data Protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is information that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and how we use it. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g., when communicating via email) can have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.

Notice to the Responsible Party

The responsible party for data processing on this website is:

firmname
adresse nr
plz adresse

Phone: +49 (0)1234567
Email: info@firmname.com

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

Storage Duration

Unless a more specific storage duration is mentioned in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose of the data processing no longer applies. If you make a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will occur after these reasons no longer apply.

General Information on the Legal Basis for Data Processing on This Website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, if special categories of data are processed under Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally based on § 25 para. 1 TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is necessary for contract fulfillment or to carry out pre-contractual measures, we process your data based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if it is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interests according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The relevant legal bases for processing are provided in the following sections of this privacy policy.

Notice on Data Transfer to the USA and Other Third Countries

We use tools from companies based in the USA or other countries with inadequate data protection levels. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We point out that these countries do not guarantee a data protection level comparable to that of the EU. For example, US companies are required to hand over personal data to security authorities without you being able to legally challenge this. It cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) may process, analyze, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke consent that has already been given at any time. The legality of data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT BASED ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE LEGAL BASIS FOR THE PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDES YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 PARA. 1 GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED TO CARRY OUT DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING PURPOSES; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 PARA. 2 GDPR).

Right to Complain to the Relevant Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, affected individuals have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, their workplace, or the place of the alleged infringement. This right to complain is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically based on your consent or to fulfill a contract in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

Access, Deletion, and Correction

You have the right to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of data processing at any time within the framework of applicable legal provisions. You also have the right to request correction or deletion of this data. For this and other questions about personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was unlawful or is still occurring, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data but you require it for the assertion, defense, or enforcement of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data instead of deletion.
  • If you have lodged an objection under Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balance must be struck between your and our interests. As long as it is not clear whose interests outweigh, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data—apart from storage—may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or for protecting the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

SSL/TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the website operator, this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the browser address bar from “http://” to “https://” and the lock symbol in your browser bar.

When SSL/TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to Advertising Emails

The use of contact data published as part of the imprint obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials is hereby contradicted. The operators of the site expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.

4. Data Collection on this Website

Cookies

Our websites use so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packets that do not harm your device. They are either temporary for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanent (persistent cookies) stored on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Persistent cookies remain on your device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

Some cookies from third parties may also be stored on your device when you access our site (third-party cookies). These allow us or you to use certain services provided by third parties (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies serve various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., shopping cart function or video display). Other cookies are used to analyze user behavior or display advertisements.

Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process, for providing certain functions you desire (e.g., for the shopping cart function), or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audience) are stored based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, the processing will be based solely on this consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time.

You can set your browser to notify you about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Deactivating cookies may restrict the functionality of this website.

If cookies from third parties or for analysis purposes are used, we will inform you separately in this privacy policy and may request consent.

Consent with Complianz

Our website uses the Complianz consent technology to obtain your consent to store certain cookies on your device or to use certain technologies and to document this in compliance with data protection regulations. The provider of this technology is Complianz B.V., Kalmarweg 14-5, 9723 JG Groningen, Netherlands (hereinafter “Complianz”).

Complianz is hosted on our servers, so no connection is made to the Complianz provider’s servers. Complianz stores a cookie in your browser to assign your given consents or their revocation. The collected data will be stored until you request us to delete it, delete the Complianz cookie yourself, or the purpose for storing the data ceases. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

The use of Complianz is to obtain the legally required consents for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR.

Server Log Files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files that your browser automatically transmits to us. This includes:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

A merger of these data with other data sources is not carried out.

The collection of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free representation and optimization of their website – this requires the collection of server log files.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your information from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, if your inquiry relates to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR), if it was requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage ceases (e.g., after the processing of your inquiry has been completed). Mandatory statutory provisions – particularly retention periods – remain unaffected.

Comment Function on this Website

For the comment function on this site, in addition to your comment, information about the time of comment creation, your email address, and, if you do not post anonymously, the username you choose is stored.

Storage of IP Address

Our comment function stores the IP addresses of users who write comments. Since we do not review comments on this website before they are published, we need this data to be able to take action against the author in the event of legal violations such as insults or propaganda.

Subscription to Comments

As a user of the site, you can subscribe to comments after registering. You will receive a confirmation email to check whether you are the owner of the specified email address. You can unsubscribe from this function at any time via a link in the information emails. The data entered during the comment subscription will be deleted in this case; if you have transmitted this data to us for other purposes and elsewhere (e.g., newsletter subscription), this data will remain with us.

Storage Duration of Comments

Comments and associated data are stored and remain on this website until the commented content is completely deleted or the comments need to be deleted for legal reasons (e.g., offensive comments).

Legal Basis

The storage of comments is based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke a consent you have given at any time. A simple informal message by email to us is sufficient. The legality of the already completed data processing operations remains unaffected by the revocation.

5. Analysis Tools and Advertising

Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows us to integrate tracking or analytics tools and other technologies on our website. The Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, does not store cookies, and does not perform any independent analyses. It only serves to manage and deploy the tools embedded through it. However, Google Tag Manager does capture your IP address, which may also be transmitted to Google’s parent company in the United States.

The use of Google Tag Manager is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in a fast and uncomplicated integration and management of various tools on their website. If corresponding consent has been requested, processing is based solely on Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) as defined by TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics allows the website operator to analyze the behavior of website visitors. The website operator receives various usage data such as page views, duration of visit, operating systems used, and origin of the user. This data is aggregated into a user ID and assigned to the respective end device of the website visitor.

Furthermore, Google Analytics can, among other things, record your mouse and scroll movements and clicks. Google Analytics also uses various modeling approaches to supplement the collected data and employs machine learning technologies for data analysis.

Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of users for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA.

The use of this service is based on your consent according to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

Browser Plugin

You can prevent the collection and processing of your data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

More information on the handling of user data in Google Analytics can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

Google Signals

We use Google Signals. When you visit our website, Google Analytics collects data such as your location, search history, and YouTube history, as well as demographic data (visitor data). This data can be used with Google Signals for personalized advertising. If you have a Google account, Google Signals will link the visitor data with your Google account for personalized advertising messages. The data is also used to create anonymized statistics about the user behavior of our users.

Data Processing Agreement

We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google and fully comply with the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Google Analytics E-Commerce Measurement

This website uses the “E-Commerce Measurement” function of Google Analytics. With the help of E-Commerce Measurement, the website operator can analyze the purchasing behavior of website visitors to improve their online marketing campaigns. Information such as completed orders, average order values, shipping costs, and the time from viewing to purchasing a product are collected. This data is aggregated into transaction data and linked to your user ID.

6. Newsletter

Newsletter Data

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on this website, we need from you an email address and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and agree to receive the newsletter. Further data is not collected or is only collected on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form is based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent to the storage of data, the email address, and their use for sending 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 to us 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 by us for other purposes remains unaffected.

7. Plugins and Tools

YouTube with Enhanced Privacy

We use YouTube in the enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode means that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to the site before they watch the video. However, the enhanced privacy mode does not necessarily prevent the sharing of data with YouTube partners. For example, YouTube – regardless of whether you are watching a video – establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network.

The use of YouTube is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the integration of multimedia content to enhance the user experience. If corresponding consent has been requested (e.g., consent to store cookies), the processing is based solely on Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

Further information about YouTube’s privacy policy can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

Vimeo

We use plugins from the video portal Vimeo. Provider is Vimeo Inc., 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA.

If you visit one of our pages featuring a Vimeo plugin, a connection to Vimeo’s servers will be established. Vimeo receives the information that you have visited our site with your IP address. If you are logged into your Vimeo account, Vimeo can assign your visit to our pages to your user account. When you interact with the Vimeo plugins (e.g., clicking the start button of a video), this information will also be transmitted to your Vimeo account.

For more information on how Vimeo handles user data, please refer to Vimeo’s privacy policy: https://vimeo.com/privacy.

The use of Vimeo is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the integration of multimedia content to enhance the user experience. If corresponding consent has been requested (e.g., consent to store cookies), the processing is based solely on Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
