III. Information on data processing

Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies, the deletion of the data does not conflict with any statutory storage requirements and no other information on individual processing methods is subsequently given.

Cookie Manager

To obtain consent for the use of technically unnecessary cookies on the website, the provider uses a cookie manager.

When the website is called up, a cookie with the setting information is stored on the user's end device, so that the query for consent does not have to be made on a subsequent visit.

The cookie is required to obtain legally compliant user consent.

The user can prevent or stop the installation of cookies by changing the settings in his browser.

a) Session cookies/session cookies

We use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are stored and stored on your end device by the Internet browser you use. These cookies process certain information about you, such as your browser or location data or your IP address, to an individual extent.

This processing makes our website more user-friendly, effective and secure, since the processing enables, for example, our website to be displayed in different languages or to offer a shopping cart function.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit b.) GDPR, insofar as these cookies are used to process data for contract initiation or contract execution.

If the processing does not serve to initiate or process a contract, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f) GDPR.

These session cookies are deleted when you close your internet browser.

b) Third Party Cookies

If necessary, our website also uses cookies from partner companies with whom we work for the purpose of advertising, analysis or the functionalities of our website.

For details on this, in particular on the purposes and legal basis for processing such third-party cookies, please refer to the information below.

c) Possibility of disposal

You can prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by setting your internet browser. You can also delete cookies that have already been saved at any time. However, the steps and measures required for this depend on the specific Internet browser you are using. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your Internet browser or contact its manufacturer or support. In the case of so-called Flash cookies, however, the processing cannot be prevented via the browser settings. Instead, you must change the settings of your Flash player in this respect. The steps and measures required for this also depend on the Flash player you are using. If you have any questions, please also use the help function or documentation of your Flash player or contact the manufacturer or user support.

However, if you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, this may mean that not all functions of our website can be used to their full extent.

Contact requests / contact option

If you contact us via the contact form or email, the data you provide will be used to process your request. Providing the data is necessary for processing and answering your request - without providing it, we cannot answer your request at all or only to a limited extent.

The legal basis for this processing is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b) GDPR.

Your data will be deleted if your request has been answered conclusively and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention requirements, such as in the case of any subsequent contract processing.

Customer account / registration function

If you create a customer account with us via our website, we will use the data you entered during registration (e.g. your name, address or e-mail address) exclusively for pre-contractual services, for the fulfillment of the contract or for the purpose of Customer care (e.g. to provide you with an overview of your previous orders with us or to be able to offer you the so-called notepad function) and save. At the same time, we then save the IP address and the date of your registration along with the time. Of course, this data will not be passed on to third parties.

As part of the further registration process, your consent to this processing will be obtained and reference will be made to this data protection declaration. The data we collect is used exclusively to provide the customer account.

If you consent to this processing, Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR is the legal basis for the processing.

If the opening of the customer account also serves pre-contractual measures or the fulfillment of the contract, the legal basis for this processing is also Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

You can revoke the consent given to us to open and maintain the customer account at any time with effect for the future in accordance with Art. 7 Para. 3 DSGVO. All you have to do is inform us of your revocation.

The data collected in this respect will be deleted as soon as the processing is no longer necessary. In doing so, however, we have to observe tax and commercial law retention periods.

Newsletter

If you register for our free newsletter, the data requested from you, i.e. your e-mail address and - optionally - your name and address will be transmitted to us. At the same time, we save the IP address of the Internet connection from which you access our website as well as the date and time of your registration. As part of the further registration process, we will obtain your consent to the sending of the newsletter, describe the content specifically and refer you to this data protection declaration. We use the data collected in this way exclusively for sending the newsletter - it is therefore in particular not passed on to third parties.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

You can revoke your consent to the newsletter dispatch at any time with effect for the future in accordance with Art. 7 Para. 3 DSGVO. All you have to do is inform us of your revocation or click on the unsubscribe link contained in every newsletter.

Online job applications / publication of job advertisements

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us via our website. With these digital applications, your applicant and application data will be electronically collected and processed by us to process the application process.

The legal basis for this processing is Section 26 (1) sentence 1 BDSG in conjunction with Article 88 (1) GDPR.

If an employment contract is concluded after the application process, we will store the data you transmitted during the application in your personnel file for the purpose of the usual organizational and administrative process - of course in compliance with the further legal obligations.

The legal basis for this processing is also Section 26 (1) sentence 1 BDSG in conjunction with Article 88 (1) GDPR.

If an application is rejected, we automatically delete the data transmitted to us two months after notification of the rejection. However, the data will not be deleted if the data requires longer storage of up to four months or until the conclusion of legal proceedings due to legal provisions, e.g. due to the burden of proof according to the AGG.

In this case, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR and Section 24 (1) No. 2 BDSG. Our legitimate interest lies in legal defense and enforcement.

If you expressly agree to longer storage of your data, e.g. for your inclusion in an applicant or interested party database, the data will be processed based on your consent. The legal basis is then Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. However, you can of course revoke your consent at any time in accordance with Art. 7 Para. 3 GDPR by declaring this to us with effect for the future.

contract processing

The data transmitted by you to make use of our range of goods and/or services will be processed by us for the purpose of contract processing and are necessary in this respect. Contract conclusion and contract execution are not possible without providing your data.

The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

We delete the data upon completion of the contract, but must observe the retention periods under tax and commercial law.

As part of the contract processing, we pass on your data to the transport company commissioned with the delivery of the goods or to the financial service provider, insofar as the transfer is necessary for the delivery of the goods or for payment purposes.

The legal basis for the transfer of the data is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b) GDPR.

„Facebook“-Social-Plug-in

We use the plug-in of the social network Facebook on our website. Facebook is an internet service provided by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland.

If you have given your consent to this processing, the legal basis is Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. The legal basis can also be Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website.

For technical reasons, it is necessary for Facebook to process your IP address. In addition, however, the date and time of the visit to our website are also recorded.

If you are logged in to Facebook while you are visiting one of our websites with the plug-in, the information collected by the plug-in from your specific visit will be recognized by Facebook. Facebook may assign the information collected in this way to your personal user account there. For example, if you use the Facebook "Like" button, this information will be stored in your Facebook user account and, if necessary, published on the Facebook platform. If you want to prevent this, you must either log out of Facebook before visiting our website or use an add-on for your Internet browser to prevent the Facebook plug-in from being blocked from loading.

The Google Analytics service is used to analyze the usage behavior of our website. The legal basis is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our website.

Usage and user-related information, such as IP address, location, time or frequency of visits to our website is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, we use Google Analytics with the so-called anonymization function. With this function, Google already shortens the IP address within the EU or the EEA.

The data collected in this way is in turn used by Google to provide us with an evaluation of the visit to our website and the usage activities there. This data can also be used to provide other services related to the use of our website and the use of the Internet.

Google states that it does not associate your IP address with other data. In addition, Google entertains

https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners

Further data protection information is available for you, e.g. also on the possibilities of preventing the use of data.

In addition, Google offers under

https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

a so-called deactivation add-on along with further information on this. This add-on can be installed with the most common Internet browsers and offers you further control over the data that Google collects when you visit our website. The add-on informs the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js) that information about the visit to our website should not be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analysis services. You can of course also find out whether and which other web analysis services we use in this data protection declaration.

Google Fonts

We use Google Fonts to display external fonts on our website. This is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as "Google".

In order to enable the display of certain fonts on our website, a connection to the Google server in the USA is established when our website is accessed.

We use Google reCAPTCHA on our website to check and avoid interactions on our website through automated access, e.g. through so-called bots. This is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as "Google".

This service enables Google to determine from which website a request is being sent and from which IP address you are using the so-called reCAPTCHA input box. In addition to your IP address, Google may also collect other information that is necessary to offer and guarantee this service.

The legal basis is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the security of our website and in preventing unwanted, automated access in the form of spam or similar.

If you have given your consent to this processing, the legal basis is Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. The legal basis can also be Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in optimizing the functionality of our website.

Through the connection to Google established in this way, Google can determine from which website your request was sent and to which IP address the directions are to be sent.

If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the installation of cookies by making the appropriate settings in your Internet browser. You can find details on this under “Cookies” above.

YouTube

We use YouTube on our website. This is a video portal of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as "YouTube".

We use YouTube in connection with the "extended data protection mode" function to be able to show you videos. If you have given your consent to this processing, the legal basis is Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. The legal basis can also be Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website. According to YouTube, the "extended data protection mode" function ensures that the data described in more detail below is only transmitted to the YouTube server if you actually start a video.

Without this "extended data protection" a connection to the YouTube server in the USA will be established as soon as you access one of our websites on which a YouTube video is embedded.

This connection is required in order to be able to display the respective video on our website via your Internet browser. In the course of this, YouTube will record and process at least your IP address, the date and time and the website you have visited. In addition, a connection to Google's "DoubleClick" advertising network is established.

If you are logged into YouTube at the same time, YouTube assigns the connection information to your YouTube account. If you want to prevent this, you must either log out of YouTube before visiting our website or make the appropriate settings in your YouTube user account.

For the purpose of functionality and to analyze usage behavior, YouTube permanently stores cookies via your Internet browser on your end device. If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the storage of cookies by making a setting in your Internet browser. See “Cookies” above for more information.

Google provides further information about the collection and use of data as well as your rights and protection options in this regard in the

Use of PayPal as a payment method

Google AdWords mit Conversion-Tracking

On our website we use the advertising component Google AdWords and the so-called conversion tracking. This is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as "Google".

We use conversion tracking for targeted advertising of our offer. If you have given your consent to this processing, the legal basis is Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. The legal basis can also be Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our website.

If you click on an ad placed by Google, the conversion tracking we use will store a cookie on your device. These so-called conversion cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used to identify you personally.

If the cookie is still valid and you visit a specific page on our website, both we and Google can evaluate that you clicked on one of our ads placed by Google and that you were then redirected to our website.

With the information obtained in this way, Google creates statistics for us about the visit to our website. This also gives us information about the number of users who clicked on our ad(s) and about the pages of our website that were subsequently accessed. However, neither we nor third parties who also use Google AdWords are able to identify you in this way.

You can also prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by making the appropriate settings in your Internet browser. At the same time, you can delete cookies that have already been saved at any time. However, the steps and measures required for this depend on the specific Internet browser you are using. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your Internet browser or contact its manufacturer or support.

Google Remarketing or Google's "Similar Audiences" component

We use the remarketing or "similar target groups" function on our website. This is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as "Google".

We use this function to place interest-based, personalized advertising on third-party websites that also participate in Google's advertising network.

In order to enable this advertising service, Google stores a cookie with a sequence of numbers on your device via your Internet browser during your visit to our website. This cookie records both your visit and the use of our website in an anonymous form. However, personal data will not be passed on. If you then visit the website of a third party, which in turn also uses the Google advertising network, advertisements may appear that relate to our website or our offers there.

For the permanent deactivation of this function, Google offers for the most common Internet browsers

https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin

a browser plugin.

Likewise, the use of cookies from certain providers, e.g. via

http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices

http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/

be deactivated via opt-out.

Through so-called cross-device marketing, Google may be able to track your usage behavior across multiple devices, so that you may be shown interest-based, personalized advertising even if you change devices. However, this presupposes that you have agreed to the linking of your browser history to your existing Google account.
