  1. DATA COLLECTION WHEN VISITING OUR WEBSITE

When using our website for informational purposes only, i.e., if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we collect only the data that your browser transmits to our server (so-called “server log files”). When you access our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display the website to you:

  • Our visited website

  • Date and time of access

  • Amount of data sent in bytes

  • Source/referrer from which you accessed the page

  • Browser used

  • Operating system used

  • IP address used (if applicable: in anonymized form)

Data processing is carried out pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. Data will not be shared or used otherwise. However, we reserve the right to check the server log files retrospectively if there are concrete indications of illegal use.

  1. COOKIES

To make visiting our website attractive and to enable certain functions, we use cookies on various pages. These are small text files stored on your device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted after the browser session ends (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your device and enable us or our partner companies (third-party cookies) to recognize your browser on your next visit (persistent cookies). Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified duration, which may vary depending on the cookie.

Some cookies serve to simplify order processes (e.g., by remembering the contents of a virtual shopping cart for a later visit). Where individual cookies implemented by us also process personal data, the processing is carried out either pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for contract execution or pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website and a customer-friendly and effective design of the page visit.

We may work with advertising partners to make our website more interesting to you. For this purpose, cookies from partner companies may also be stored on your device (third-party cookies) when you visit our website. If we collaborate with such advertising partners, you will be informed about the use of such cookies and the information collected within the individual paragraphs below.

Please note that you can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to decide individually about their acceptance or to exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general. Each browser differs in how it manages cookie settings. This is described in the help menu of each browser, which explains how you can change your cookie settings.

  1. CONTACTING US

In the context of contacting us (e.g., via contact form or email), personal data is collected. Which data is collected in the case of a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used solely for the purpose of responding to your request or for establishing contact and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If your contact aims to conclude a contract, an additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after the final processing of your inquiry, provided that no statutory retention obligations oppose this.

  1. DATA PROCESSING WHEN OPENING A CUSTOMER ACCOUNT AND FOR CONTRACT PROCESSING

Pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, personal data will continue to be collected and processed if you provide it to us for the performance of a contract or when opening a customer account. The data collected can be seen from the respective input forms. Deletion of your customer account is possible at any time and can be requested by sending a message to the aforementioned controller’s address. We store and use the data you provide for contract execution. After the contract has been fully processed or your customer account deleted, your data will be blocked with respect to tax and commercial retention periods and deleted after these periods expire, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or a legally permitted further use of data has been reserved by our site, which we inform you about accordingly below.
