1. General scope of data processing

Data protection has a high priority in our society. We comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which regulates the processing of personal data uniformly for the entire European Union and other national data protection laws of the member states as well as other data protection regulations. In principle, we collect, process and use personal data only insofar as this is necessary for the provision of a functional website and for the presentation of our offers and the provision of our services.

As a user, you can generally visit our website without providing any personal information. Personal data is only collected and used to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. In principle, your personal data will only be collected and used with your consent. An exception applies in such cases in which it is not possible to obtain prior consent for actual reasons or the collection and processing of the data is permitted by statutory provisions.

For security reasons, we use an SSL certificate on our website to provide secure connections by encrypting all incoming and outgoing data traffic. You can recognize the encryption by the lock symbol in your browser line and by the fact that "https://" is displayed there.

Except in cases of a necessary legal defense or in cases prescribed by law, the personal data collected will not be passed on to third parties.

9. Newsletter

If you have the option of subscribing to a free newsletter on our website, the following applies: When you register for the newsletter, the data from the input mask is transmitted to us. Your e-mail address is one of the data requested in the input mask. Providing your first and last name is voluntary so that we can address you personally in the newsletter. Your consent will be obtained for the processing of the data as part of the registration process and reference will be made to this data protection declaration. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to send newsletters. This means that we will not send you an email newsletter unless you have expressly confirmed to us that you consent to receiving such a newsletter. You will then receive a confirmation e-mail from us in which we ask you to confirm that you would like to receive newsletters in the future by clicking on a corresponding link. By clicking on the confirmation link, you give us your consent to use your personal data in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

Our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR also lies in the above purposes.

If you purchase goods or services on our website and provide your e-mail address, we can then use it to send you a newsletter.

There is no transfer of data to third parties in connection with data processing for sending newsletters. The data will only be used to send the newsletter.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. For this purpose, there is a corresponding link in every newsletter. This also enables a revocation of the consent to the storage of the personal data collected during the registration process.

10. Customer registration

Our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR also lies in the above purposes.

Your registration is necessary to fulfill a contract with you or to carry out pre-contractual measures. By registering, we can quickly and easily provide you with the data you have entered once again, without you having to re-enter them. If you have given your consent, the legal basis for processing the data is Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. If the registration serves to fulfill a contract between you and us or to carry out pre-contractual measures, the additional legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 lit. b GDPR.

Your data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. This is the case during the registration process to fulfill a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures if the data is no longer required for the execution of the contract. Even after the conclusion of the contract, it may be necessary to store personal data of the contractual partner in order to comply with contractual or legal obligations.

To change or delete your data, simply contact us using the contact details given in the imprint. Ideally, send us an email.

11. Contact form and email contact

If there is a contact form on our website that you can use to contact us electronically, the following applies: If you use this option, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored.

Your data will only be used for the intended communication. The legal basis for processing the data if you have given your consent is Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. The legal basis for the processing of personal data that you have sent to us by e-mail is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If the e-mail contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective communication with you has ended. The conversation is over when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the facts in question have been finally clarified.

You have the option to revoke your consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If you have contacted us by email, you can object to the storage of your personal data at any time. The revocation can be made, for example, by sending a revocation e-mail or by letter to our contact addresses given in the imprint. All personal data stored in the course of making contact will then be deleted.

12. Data transfer to service partners for order processing

We only pass on your personal data to service partners who are involved in the execution of the contract, such as the bank responsible for payment matters. The extent of data transfer to third parties is limited to the necessary minimum, namely your first and last name, your address and, if applicable, your delivery address. The legal basis is Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

In the event that you have expressly given us or, at your request, the service partner your consent to do so, we will also pass on your e-mail address, your telephone number or your date of birth for the purpose of a necessary identity and credit check of the payment service provider. If you do not give us your consent in this respect, "purchase on account" or "purchase by direct debit" or "hire purchase" is not possible. The legal basis for this is Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

You can of course revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future to us or to the respective service partner. However, the respective service partner may still be entitled to process your personal data if this is necessary for the contractual execution of the contract.

13. Third-party tools and plugins

We use third-party tools on our website, e.g. to analyze usage data, in order to be able to optimally design our online offers and our website with a view to user-friendliness and optimization.

a) YouTube

We use functions of the "YouTube" service to embed our own videos on our website as part of the so-called "framing". YouTube is operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 ESW5, Ireland ("Google").

We only embed YouTube videos in the “extended data protection mode”, which YouTube itself makes available. This initially prevents YouTube from storing cookies on your device. However, when you call up the relevant pages, your IP address and other data are already being transmitted. This tells Google which of our websites you have visited. However, this information cannot be assigned to you unless you are logged in to YouTube or another Google service before accessing the page. In order to use YouTube, we require your informed consent in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a GDPR, which you can give prior to activation via a consent window (cookie consent tool). If you have not given your consent, the YouTube videos are also blocked by so-called content blockers.

When playback of an embedded YouTube video is started, "YouTube" only sets cookies as part of the extended data protection mode that do not contain any personal data that could be traced back to you, unless you are logged into any Google service at the same time. If you want to avoid personal references, you can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. The cookies are integrated in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR for the purpose of collecting information about user behavior and creating video statistics as well as improving the user-friendliness of the YouTube offer

You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, although you must contact Google to exercise this right.

Further information on handling user data can be found in Google's data protection declaration at URL https://www.google.de/intl/de /policies/privacy

b) Vimeo

We use plugins from the video portal Vimeo from the provider Vimeo Inc., 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA ("Vimeo").

If you visit one of our websites with a Vimeo plugin, a connection to the Vimeo servers will be established. The Vimeo server is informed which of our pages you have visited. In addition, Vimeo is informed of the IP address you used at the time of your visit. This also applies if you are not logged into Vimeo or do not have a Vimeo account. The information collected by Vimeo is transmitted to the Vimeo server in the USA.

If you are logged into your Vimeo account, you enable Vimeo to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your Vimeo account.

In order to use Vimeo, we need your informed consent in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. a GDPR, which you can give prior to activation via a consent window (cookie consent tool). If you have not given your consent, the Vimeo videos are also blocked by so-called content blockers.

When playback of an embedded Vimeo video is started, "Vimeo" only sets cookies as part of the extended data protection mode that do not contain any personally identifiable information that would be traceable to you, unless you are logged into any Vimeo service at the same time. If you want to avoid personal references, you can prevent this by logging out of your Vimeo account. The cookies are integrated in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR for the purpose of collecting information about user behavior and creating video statistics as well as improving the user-friendliness of the Vimeo offer
