III Collection and processing of data on our website
Unless otherwise stated below, your data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies and there are no legal retention periods to the contrary.
1. server log files
For technical reasons and to ensure the stability and security of our website, our web space provider automatically collects data that your browser transmits to us. Among other things, the browser type and version, the operating system used, the previously visited website (referrer URL), the pages accessed, the date and time of the server enquiry and your IP address are stored in these server log files.
This data is stored temporarily and separately from other personal data. The data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the error-free presentation and security of our website. This data is deleted after seven days at the latest, unless longer storage is required for evidence purposes in the event of specific incidents.
2. use of cookies
Our website sometimes uses cookies. These are small text files that your browser stores on your end device. They are used to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure (e.g. for language selection or shopping basket functions).
We primarily use session cookies, which are automatically deleted when you close your browser. We may also use cookies from third-party providers with whom we co-operate.
The legal basis for the processing by cookies for contract initiation or processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the functionality of the website in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies, allow cookies only in individual cases or generally exclude them. However, deleting or blocking cookies may restrict the functionality of this website.
3. making contact
If you contact us by e-mail or contact form, the information you provide will be used exclusively to process and respond to your enquiry. We cannot process your enquiry without this data. The processing takes place on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. After final clarification of the enquiry, the data will be deleted, provided that no statutory retention periods (e.g. upon conclusion of a contract) apply.
4. social media links
We link to our profiles in social networks on our website. The integration takes place only via static graphics or text links. There is no direct exchange of data with the servers of the respective networks when you simply visit our website. Only when you actively click on the graphic will you be forwarded to the provider, who can then collect information (such as your IP address) - possibly also on servers in the USA. In order to avoid a direct assignment to your social media profile, we recommend that you log out of the respective network before clicking.
5. google analytics
This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics of Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). The use is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, as we have a legitimate interest in the analysis of user behaviour for the optimisation and economic operation of our website.
We use Google Analytics with active IP anonymisation. This means that your IP address is truncated by Google within the EU or EEA before being transmitted to the USA. Google uses this information on our behalf to analyse website usage and compile reports. Google does not merge your IP address with other data.
You can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by installing the browser add-on for deactivation: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. Further information on data protection at Google can be found at: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners.
6. google reCAPTCHA
We use Google reCAPTCHA (provider: Google Ireland Limited) to check whether data is entered on our website by a human or abusively by automated programmes (bots). Various information (e.g. IP address) is transmitted to Google for this purpose.
Data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the security of our website and the defence against spam. You can find further information at: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
7. google web fonts
We use so-called Google Fonts (provider: Google Ireland Limited) for the standardised display of fonts. When you access a page, your browser loads the required web fonts from the Google servers in the USA, which tells Google your IP address.
The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. You can find further information at: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
