Data protection declaration

REVOCATION OF YOUR CONSENT TO DATA PROCESSING

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your previously granted consent at any time. An informal email notification to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

RIGHT TO DATA PORTABILITY

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

SSL OR TLS ENCRYPTION

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address bar changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser bar. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

INFORMATION, BLOCKING, DELETION

Within the scope of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient, and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to correct, block, or delete this data. You can contact us at any time at the address provided in the imprint for this purpose and for other questions regarding personal data.

OBJECTION TO ADVERTISING EMAILS

The use of contact data published in accordance with the imprint obligation to send unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby prohibited. The operators of these websites expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising information being sent, for example through spam emails.

CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We always keep this privacy policy up to date. Therefore, it may be necessary to adapt the privacy policy to changes in actual or legal circumstances. These adaptations are accepted by using our website.

DATA COLLECTION ON OUR WEBSITE

COOKIES

Some of our websites use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies are used to make our service 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 enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.

You can set your browser to inform you about the use of cookies and to only allow cookies in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Cookies that are necessary for electronic communication or to provide certain functions you have requested (e.g., shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your surfing behavior) are stored, these are treated separately in this privacy policy.

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. These are:

Browser type and version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Hostname of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address
This data will not be merged with other data sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data to fulfill a contract or to take 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 by us for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.

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

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 storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

PLUGINS AND TOOLS

YOUTUBE

Our website uses plugins from the YouTube site operated by Google. The site is operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

If you visit one of our pages equipped with a YouTube plugin, you must first explicitly consent to the use of the plugin in our privacy policy. Before this, no connection to YouTube will be established. If you click the Play button after consenting, the plugin will load and a connection will be established.

This will inform the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. YouTube will also obtain your IP address. However, we have configured YouTube so that YouTube will not track your user activities and will not set cookies.

If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to assign your browsing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

YouTube is used in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offerings. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Further information on how user data is handled can be found in YouTube's privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

VIMEO WITHOUT TRACKING (DO-NOT-TRACK)

This website uses plug-ins from the video portal Vimeo. The provider is Vimeo Inc., 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA.

If you visit one of our pages equipped with a Vimeo plug-in, you must first explicitly consent to the use of the plug-in in our privacy policy. Before this, no connection to Vimeo will be established. If you click the play button after consenting, the plug-in will load and a connection will be established.

The Vimeo server will be informed which of our pages you have visited. Vimeo also receives your IP address. However, we have configured Vimeo so that Vimeo will not track your user activities and will not set any cookies.

Vimeo is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If corresponding consent has been requested, processing will be carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses and, according to Vimeo, on "legitimate business interests." Details can be found here: https://vimeo.com/privacy.

Further information on how user data is handled can be found in Vimeo's privacy policy at: https://vimeo.com/privacy.

GOOGLE MAPS

This site uses the Google Maps map service via an API. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

If you visit one of our pages equipped with a Google Maps iFrame, you must first explicitly consent to the use of the plugin in our privacy policy. Before this happens, no connection to Google will be established. If you explicitly consent to this or answer the notice regarding the use of the Google Maps iFrame with Yes, a connection to Google will be established.

To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to save your IP address. This information is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer.

Google Maps is used in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offerings and to make the locations we list on the website easy to find. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
