In particular, an objection to the processing of data for the purpose of direct advertising is permitted.

III. Information about data processing

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

Server data

For technical reasons, in particular to ensure a secure and stable Internet presence, data is transmitted through your Internet browser to us or to our web space provider. With these so-called server log files u.a. Type and version of your Internet browser, the operating system, the website from which you have changed to our website (referrer URL), the website (s) of our website you are visiting, the date and time of access and the IP address of the Internet Internet connection, from which the use of our Internet presence occurs.

These data collected will be temporarily stored but will not be shared with other information about you.

This storage takes place on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR (external link opens in new window). Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality and security of our website.

The data will be deleted at the latest after seven days, as long as no further storage for evidence is required. Otherwise, the data will be wholly or partially exempt from the cancellation until the final clarification of an incident.

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from ‘http://’ to ‘https://’ and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

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

Cookie Manager

We use a cookie manager to obtain consent for the use of technically unnecessary cookies on the website.

When the website is accessed, a cookie with the settings information is stored on the user’s end device so that the query regarding consent does not have to be made on a subsequent visit.

The cookie is required to obtain the user’s legally compliant consent.

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

Cookies

a) Session cookies / session cookies

We use so-called cookies with our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are stored and stored on your 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, as the processing, for example, allows us to reproduce our website in different languages or to offer a shopping cart function.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR (external link opens in new window), insofar as these cookies process data for the purpose of initiating the contract or processing the contract.

If the processing does not serve to initiate the contract or to fulfill the contract, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. Legal basis is then in Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR (external link opens in new window).

Closing your internet browser deletes these session cookies.

b) Third-party cookies

If necessary, our website also uses cookies from partner companies with whom we cooperate for the purpose of advertising, analyzing or functionalizing our website.

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

c) eliminating possibility

You can prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by setting your Internet browser. You can also delete previously saved cookies at any time. However, the necessary steps and measures depend on your specific Internet browser. If you have questions, please use the help function or documentation of your Internet browser or contact its manufacturer or support. With so-called Flash cookies, however, the processing can not be prevented by the settings of the browser. Instead, you need to change the setting of your Flash player. The necessary steps and measures depend on your specific Flash player. If you have any questions, please also use the help function or documentation of your Flash Player or contact the manufacturer or user support.

If you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, however, this may result in not all functions of our website being fully usable.

Contact requests / contact possibilities

If you contact us by contact form, e-mail, telephone or fax, your enquiry including all personal data (name, enquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent; the provision of the data is necessary for processing and answering your enquiry – without it we cannot answer your enquiry or can only answer it to a limited extent.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR (external link opens in new window).

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR (external link opens in new window)if your enquiry is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR (external link opens in new window)) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR (external link opens in new window)) if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

Communication via WhatsApp

For communication with our customers and other third parties, we use the instant messaging service WhatsApp, among others. The provider is WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Communication takes place via end-to-end encryption (peer-to-peer), which prevents WhatsApp or other third parties from gaining access to the communication content. However, WhatsApp receives access to metadata that is created in the course of the communication process (e.g. sender, recipient and time). We would also like to point out that WhatsApp states that it shares the personal data of its users with its parent company Meta, which is based in the USA. Further details on data processing can be found in WhatsApp’s privacy policy at: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/#privacy-policy (external link opens in new window).

WhatsApp is used on the basis of our legitimate interest in communicating as quickly and effectively as possible with customers, interested parties and other business and contractual partners (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR (external link opens in new window)). If a corresponding consent has been requested, the data processing takes place exclusively on the basis of the consent; this can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

The communication content exchanged between you and us on WhatsApp will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

The company is certified in accordance with the ‘EU-US Data Privacy Framework’ (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA, which is intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the USA. Every company certified under the DPF undertakes to comply with these data protection standards. Further information on this can be obtained from the provider at the following link:

https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum (external link opens in new window)

The legal basis for the processing of personal data that takes place as a result and is described below is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR (external link opens in new window). Our legitimate interest lies in analysing, communicating, selling and advertising our products and services.

The legal basis may also be the user’s consent to the platform operator in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR (external link opens in new window). The user can revoke this consent for the future at any time by notifying the platform operator in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR (external link opens in new window).

Using these profiles, Meta Platforms Ireland Limited is able, for example, to advertise to users within and outside of Facebook based on their interests. If the user is logged into their Facebook account at the time of access, Meta Platforms Ireland Limited can also link the data to the respective user account.

If the user contacts us via Facebook, the personal data entered by the user on this occasion will be used to process the enquiry. The user’s data will be deleted by us if the user’s enquiry has been conclusively answered and there are no legal obligations to retain the data, e.g. in the case of subsequent contract processing.

Meta Platforms Ireland Limited may also set cookies to process the data.

If the user does not agree to this processing, it is possible to prevent the installation of cookies by setting the browser accordingly. Cookies that have already been saved can also be deleted at any time. The settings for this depend on the respective browser. In the case of Flash cookies, processing cannot be prevented via the settings of the browser, but by the corresponding setting of the Flash player. If the user prevents or restricts the installation of cookies, this may mean that not all Facebook functions can be used to their full extent.

Further information on the processing activities, their prevention and the deletion of data processed by Facebook can be found in Facebook’s data policy:
https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation (external link opens in new window)
