The responsible body is the natural or legal person who, alone or together with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses, etc.).
Storage period
Unless a specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing ceases to apply. If you assert an authorised deletion request or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have any other legally valid reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.
General information on the legal basis of data processing on this website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Article 9 (2) (a) GDPR, provided that special categories of data are processed in accordance with Article 9 (1) GDPR. In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Article 49 (1) (a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), data processing is also carried out on the basis of Section 25 (1) TTDSG. The consent can be withdrawn at any time. If your data is necessary to fulfill the contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data insofar as this is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. fDSGVO. Information on the relevant legal bases in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this data protection declaration.
Note on the transfer of data to third countries that are not secure under data protection law and the transfer to US companies that are not DPF certified
Among other things, we use tools from companies based in third countries that are not secure under data protection law and US tools whose providers are not certified according to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). When these tools are active, your personal data can be transferred to and processed in these countries. We would like to point out that no level of data protection comparable to the EU can be guaranteed in third countries that are uncertain under data protection law. We would like to point out that, as a safe third country, the USA generally has a level of data protection comparable to the EU. Data transfer to the USA is permitted if the recipient is certified under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF) or has appropriate additional guarantees. Information on transfers to third countries, including data recipients, can be found in this privacy policy.
Recipients of personal data
As part of our business activities, we work with various external agencies. In some cases, it is also necessary to transfer personal data to these external bodies. We only pass on personal data to external parties if this is necessary as part of fulfilling a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer of data in accordance with Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, or if another legal basis allows the transfer of data. When using contract processors, we only share our customers' personal data on the basis of a valid contract for order processing. In the case of joint processing, a contract for joint processing is concluded.
Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many data processing processes are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw consent that you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to data collection in special cases and counterdirect advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you file an objection, we will no longer process your personal data concerned unless we can prove compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims (objection under Article 21 (1) GDPR). If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will then no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection under Article 21 (2) GDPR).
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, the person concerned has the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to yourself or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another person responsible, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
Information, correction and deletion
Within the framework of applicable legal provisions, you have the right to obtain information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to correct or delete this data. You can contact us at any time about this and if you have any further questions on the subject of personal data.
Right to restrict processing
You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. To do so, you can contact us at any time. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases: If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the audit, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
If the processing of your personal data was/happens unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted instead of deletion.
If you have filed an objection in accordance with Article 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be made between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data — apart from storage — may only be processed with your consent or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
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 line changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser line. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Third-party cookies make it possible to integrate certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g. cookies to process payment services). Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies can be used to evaluate user behavior or for advertising purposes.

This website uses Google AdSense, a service to integrate advertisements. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
We use Google AdSense in “non-personalized” mode. In contrast to personalized mode, the ads are therefore not based on your previous user behavior and no user profile is created by you. Instead, so-called “contextual information” is used when selecting advertising. The selected ads are then based on, for example, your location, the content of the website you are on, or your current search terms. You can find out more about the differences between personalized and non-personalized targeting with Google AdSense at: https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/9007336.
Please note that cookies or comparable recognition technologies (such as device fingerprinting) can also be used when using Google Adsense in non-personalized mode. According to Google, these are used to combat fraud and misuse.
AdSense is used on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in marketing its website as effectively as possible.

Google Remarketing analyses your user behavior on our website (e.g. clicking on certain products) in order to classify you into specific advertising target groups and then display appropriate advertising messages to you when you visit other online offers (remarketing or retargeting).
In addition, the advertising target groups created with Google Remarketing can be linked to Google's cross-device functions. In this way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages that have been adapted to you depending on your previous usage and surfing behavior on one device (e.g. mobile phone) can also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g. tablet or PC).
If you have a Google account, you can object to personalized advertising at the following link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.
Google Remarketing is used on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in marketing its products as effectively as possible.

Target group building with customer reconciliation
To build target groups, we use, among other things, Google Remarketing's customer reconciliation. In doing so, we transfer certain customer data (e.g. email addresses) from our customer lists to Google. If the customers in question are Google users and logged into their Google account, they will be shown appropriate advertising messages within the Google network (e.g. on YouTube, Gmail or in the search engine).
Google conversion tracking
This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
With the help of Google conversion tracking, Google and we can recognize whether the user has carried out certain actions. For example, we can evaluate which buttons on our website were clicked how often and which products were viewed or purchased particularly frequently. This information is used to generate conversion statistics. We learn the total number of users who clicked on our ads and what actions they took. We do not receive any information that allows us to personally identify the user. Google itself uses cookies or comparable recognition technologies for identification.
The use of Google conversion tracking is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR; consent can be withdrawn at any time.
You can find more information about Google conversion tracking in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
Google DoubleClick
This website uses features from Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, (hereinafter “DoubleClick”).
DoubleClick is used to show you interest-based ads across the Google advertising network. With the help of DoubleClick, the advertisements can be tailored to the interests of the respective viewer. For example, our advertising may be displayed in Google search results or in advertising banners associated with DoubleClick.
In order to be able to display interest-based advertising to users, DoubleClick must recognize the respective viewer and be able to associate the websites they have visited, clicks and other information about user behavior. DoubleClick uses cookies or comparable recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting) for this purpose. The information collected is combined into a pseudonymous user profile in order to display interest-based advertising to the user concerned.
Google DoubleClick is used in the interest of targeted advertising measures. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR; consent can be withdrawn at any time.
For more information about how to object to the advertisements displayed by Google, please see the following links: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads and https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.
Facebook Pixel
This website uses Facebook visitor action pixels to measure conversion. The provider of this service is Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. However, according to Facebook, the collected data is also transferred to the USA and other third countries.
In this way, the behavior of site visitors can be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider's website by clicking on a Facebook ad. As a result, the effectiveness of Facebook ads can be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and future advertising measures can be optimized.
The data collected is anonymous to us as the operator of this website; we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Facebook data usage policy. This allows Facebook to place advertisements on Facebook pages and outside of Facebook. As the site operator, we cannot influence this use of data.
The use of Facebook pixels is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures, including social media.

LinkedIn Insight Day
This website uses LinkedIn's Insight Tag. The provider of this service is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Data processing through LinkedIn Insight Tag
With the help of the LinkedIn Insight Tag, we obtain information about visitors to our website. If a website visitor is registered with LinkedIn, we can, among other things, analyse the key professional data (e.g. career level, company size, country, location, industry and job title) of our website visitors and thus better tailor our site to the respective target groups. We can also use LinkedIn Insight Tags to measure whether visitors to our websites are making a purchase or other action (conversion measurement). Conversion measurement can also be carried out across devices (e.g. from PC to tablet). LinkedIn Insight Tag also offers a retargeting feature, which allows us to display targeted advertising to visitors to our website outside the website, although, according to LinkedIn, there is no identification of the advertising addressee.
LinkedIn itself also collects so-called log files (URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties and time of access). The IP addresses are truncated or (if they are used to reach LinkedIn members across devices) hashed (pseudonymized). LinkedIn members' direct IDs are deleted from LinkedIn after seven days. The remaining pseudonymized data is then deleted within 180 days.
As a website operator, we cannot assign the data collected by LinkedIn to specific individuals. LinkedIn will store the personal data collected from website visitors on its servers in the USA and use it as part of its own advertising measures. For details, see LinkedIn's privacy policy at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy#choices-oblig.
legal basis
LinkedIn Insight is used on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures, including social media. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR; consent can be withdrawn at any time.
Data transmission to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/l/dpa and https://www.linkedin.com/legal/l/eu-sccs.

5th newsletter
Newsletter data
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we need an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. Further data is not collected or is only collected on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively to send the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties. The data entered in the newsletter subscription form is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the e-mail address and their use to send the newsletter at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation. The data you provide us with for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter or after the purpose has ceased. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter mailing list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Data that we have stored for other purposes remains unaffected by this. After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored in a blacklist by us or the newsletter service provider, if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is only used for this purpose and is not combined with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time.
You can object to storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
6. eCommerce and payment providers
Processing customer and contract data
We collect, process and use personal customer and contract data to establish, structure and change our contractual relationships.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The customer data collected will be deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship and expiry of any existing legal retention periods. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
