Personal data
Personal data is all personal information that allows us to identify you, such as your name, your address and your email address. You do not have to share this information with us in order visit our website. In some cases, we need to know your name and address as well as additional information in order to be able to offer you the required service.
The same applies if you want us to supply you with information material or to reply to your enquiries. In such cases, we will always point this out to you. We will also only store information that has been provided automatically or voluntarily.
When you use one of our services, we will usually only collect the information that is necessary in order for us to be able to offer you this service. We may occasionally ask you for additional information, but will always make it clear to you that you share this with us voluntarily. Whenever we process personal data, we do so in order to be able to offer you our service or to pursue the aims of our business.
Automatically stored information
Server log files
The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files which your browser transmits to us automatically. This information consists of:
This data will not be combined with information from other data sources. We process this data in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) on the basis of our lawful interest in the improvement of the stability and functionality of our website.
For technology security reasons, particularly in order to defend our web server against any attempted attacks, we will store this data for a short while. We cannot identify individual people on the basis of this information. After seven days at the latest, this data will be anonymised by shortening the IP address at the domain level; it is then no longer possible to trace it back to an individual user. The data will also be processed for statistical purposes in anonymised form; it will not be compared with other data sets or shared with third parties either fully or in part.
Google Tag Manager
This website uses Google Tag Manager. Google Tag Manager does not collect any personally identifiable information. This tool triggers other tags that may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If tracking has been blocked at the domain or cookie level, this will also apply to all tracking tags that are implemented with the Google Tag Manager. See here for Google's privacy policy regarding this tool: www.google.de/tagmanager/use-policy.html.
Google Analytics with anonymisation function
We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service by the company Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as "Google", on our website. Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", text files that are stored on your computer and allow the analysis of your usage of this website.
The information generated by these cookies, for example the time of your website visit, your location and how often you visit our website, including your IP address, is transmitted to Google in the USA and stored there.
On our website, we use Google Analytics with the additional feature "_gat._anonymizeIp". This means that Google will already shorten your IP address in order to anonymise it within the Member States of the European Union or other countries that have signed the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
Google will use this information to evaluate your use of our website, to compile reports on the website activities on our behalf, and to perform further services linked to our use of the website and the internet. Google may also share this information with third parties if this is legally required or in as far as third parties process this data on behalf of Google.
According to Google, Google will never associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. You can prevent the installation of cookies with a respective setting in your browser software; however, please note that if you do so, you may not be able to use all of our website's features to their full extent.
Google also offers opt-out add-ons for the most common browsers, which gives you more control over the data Google collects about the websites you have accessed. These add-ons communicate to the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js) that you do not want Google Analytics to collect information about your website visit. However, the opt-out add-on for browsers provided by Google Analytics does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analysis services we may use. You can find more information about how to install this browser add-on by clicking on this link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
When you visit our website on a mobile end device (smartphone or tablet PC), you have to click on this link instead to prevent Google Analytics from tracking your activities on this website in future. You can also do this as an alternative to installing the above browser add-on. Clicking on the link will set an opt-out cookie in your browser that is only valid for this browser and this domain. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you will also delete the opt-out cookies, which means that you have to click on the link again.
If you have consented to Google associating your web and app browser history with your Google account and information from your Google account is used to personalise advertisements, Google will use your data together with Google Analytics data in order to generate target group lists for cross-device remarketing. For this purpose, Google Analytics will initially collect your Google authenticated ID that is linked to your Google account (i.e. personal data) on our website. Google Analytics will then link your ID temporarily to your Google Analytics data in order to optimise our targets groups.
If you object to this, you can prevent this with respective settings in the "My account" section of your Google account.
Google DoubleClick
DoubleClick by Google is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). DoubleClick by Google uses cookies to show you advertisements that are relevant to you. A pseudonymised identifier (ID) is allocated to your browser to check which advertisements were shown in your browser and which advertisements were accessed. These cookies do not contain personal data. Using DoubleClick cookies merely allows Google and its partner websites to show you advertisements on the basis of your previous visits to our website or other websites you have visited on the internet. The information generated by the cookies is transmitted to a Google server in the USA for evaluation purposes and stored there. Google complies with the "EU-US Privacy Shield" agreement and is a registered member of the US Department of Commerce's "Privacy Shield" programme. Google will only transmit this data to third parties if legally required to do so or within the scope of order data processing. Google will never associate your data with other data collected by Google.
By using our website, you consent to Google's processing of the previously collected information associated with you and the aforementioned manner of its processing as well as the aforementioned purpose. You can prevent the storage of cookies with a respective setting in your browser software; however, please note that you may then not be able to use all of the features of our website to their full extent. You can further prevent Google's collection of the data regarding your use of the websites generated by the cookies and its transmission to Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under "DoubleClick opt-out extension". To do so, please click on the following link. Alternatively, you can also block DoubleClick cookies with this opt-out.
YouTube in enhanced data protection mode
We use the provider YouTube for video embedding. The videos have been embedded in extended data protection mode. However, like most websites, YouTube also uses cookies to collect information about the people who visit its website. YouTube uses cookies to collect video statistics, to prevent fraud and to improve its user-friendliness, for example. This also leads to the establishment of a connection with the Google DoubleClick network. When you click on the video, this could trigger further data processing processes. We have no influence on this process. Please refer to YouTube's privacy policy for more information about these processes: www.youtube.com/t/privacy_at_youtube.
Newsletter via rapidmail
We use a so-called double opt-out process for subscriptions to our newsletter, i.e. you will only receive our newsletter via email after you have explicitly confirmed that you would like to use our newsletter service. We will then send you a confirmation email and ask you to confirm that you would like to receive our newsletter by clicking on the link shown in the email. When you subscribe to our newsletter, we will store your IP address and the subscription date. This data is stored for the sole purpose of being able to provide proof in the event of a third party wrongfully using your email address to subscribe to the newsletter without your knowledge or authority. Should you no longer wish to receive our newsletters at a later stage, you can unsubscribe at any time without incurring any costs other than the basic rate of transmission costs. Every newsletter also contains an unsubscribe link for this purpose.
We use the service provided by rapidmail to send our newsletter. Within the scope of order processing (Art. 28 GDPR), your data will therefore be transmitted to rapidmail GmbH, Augustinerplatz 2, 79098 Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany. rapidmail GmbH must not use your data for purposes other than sending you the newsletter. rapidmail GmbH must not share or sell your data. rapidmail is a German certified newsletter software provider, carefully selected on the basis of the standards required by the GDPR and Germany's Federal Data Protection Act Bundesdatenschutzgesetz (German Data Protection Act).

It allows you to manage your completed, open and recently dispatched orders and your address details, bank account details and newsletter subscription. You are expected to treat your personal login details as confidential and to refrain from sharing them with third parties. We cannot be held liable for the unauthorised use of passwords, unless we are responsible for such wrongful use.
