2. GENERAL NOTICES AND MANDATORY INFORMATION

DATA PROTECTION

The operators of this website 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.

Various personal data is collected when you visit this website. Personal data is data that personally identifies you. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

We point out that data transmission via the internet (e.g. in communications by e-mail) can exhibit security gaps. Complete protection of the data from access by third parties is therefore not possible.

 

NOTICE REGARDING RESPONSIBLE CONTROLLER

The controller responsible for data processing for this website is the website operator.

Its contact details can be found in the company information for this website.

A controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or together with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing of personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses, etc.).

 

REVOCATION OF YOUR CONSENT TO DATA PROCESSING

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke existing consent at any time. An informal message by e-mail to us is sufficient for this. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

 

SSL OR TLS ENCRYPTION

This website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content such as orders or requests that you send to us as the website operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection when the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and the lock symbol appears in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you submit to us cannot be read by third parties.

 

INFORMATION, BLOCKING, DELETION

Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, the purpose of data processing and, if necessary, the right to rectification, blocking or deletion of this data. On this and for further questions about data protection, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the company information.

 

3. DATA COLLECTION ON OUR WEBSITE

SERVER LOG FILES

The provider of the website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. This data includes the following:

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

A merge of this data with other data sources will not be done.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, which allows the processing of data to fulfil a contract or pre-contractual measures.

 

CONTACT FORM

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored in order to process the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.

The processing of the data entered into the contact form is therefore exclusively based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal message by e-mail to us is sufficient for this. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data provided by you in the contact form remains with us until you request its deletion, or you revoke your consent to the storage, or the purpose for the data storage no longer applies (e.g. after completion of processing your inquiry). Mandatory statutory provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.

To do this, the browser you use must connect to Google’s servers. As a result, Google learns that our website has been accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a consistent and attractive presentation of our online services. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

If your browser does not support web fonts, a default font will be used by your computer.

For more information about Google Web Fonts, see:  https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offers and easy findability of the places we have indicated on the website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

The website sometimes uses so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our website 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 so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognise your browser the next time you visit.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally exclude and enable the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.

The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. If other cookies (e.g. cookies for the analysis of your surfing behaviour) are stored, they will be discussed separately in this privacy policy.

 

GOOGLE ANALYTICS

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and that allow an analysis of the use of the website by you. 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. We have activated IP anonymisation. On this website, your IP address is therefore shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address provided by Google Analytics as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we point out that in this case not all features of this website may be used to the full extent. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing a browser plugin available under the following link:
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

As an alternative to the browser plugin or within browsers on mobile devices, please click on the following link to set an opt-out cookie that will prevent data collection on this website by Google Analytics in the future (this opt-out cookie only works in this browser and only for this domain; if you delete your cookies in this browser, you must click this link again): Disable Google Analytics.
