General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website

If you have consented to data processing, we will process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR or Art. 9 (2) (a) of the GDPR, if special categories of personal data are processed in accordance with Art. 9 (1) of the GDPR.

The relevant legal bases in each individual case are explained in the following paragraphs of this data protection declaration.

Recipients of personal data

We work with various external parties in the course of our business activities. In some cases, this requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only pass on personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the fulfilment of 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 pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the transfer of data. When using processors, we only pass on 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.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to lodge a complaint

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint exists 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 fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.

Information, rectification and erasure

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to request, at any time and free of charge, information about the personal data held about you, its origins, the recipient and the purpose for which the data is being processed. You also have the right to have this data rectified or erased. You may contact us at any time about this or any other questions regarding personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us about this at any time. If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of 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

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 link by the fact that the browser address bar changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock icon in the browser line. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

The data that you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, withdraw your consent to its storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

5. Analysis tools and advertising

Matomo

This website uses the open-source web analysis service Matomo. With the help of Matomo, we are able to collect and analyse data about the use of our site by website visitors. This enables us to establish, among other things, when which page views were made and from which region they come. We also collect various log files (e.g. IP address, referrer, browsers and operating systems used) and can measure whether our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g. clicks, purchases, etc.).

The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its website services and its advertising. If corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR and section 25 (1) of the TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.

IP anonymisation

We use IP anonymisation for analysis with Matomo. This means that your IP address is shortened prior to analysis so that it can no longer be clearly assigned to you.

Hosting

We host Matomo exclusively on our own servers, which means that all analysis data will remain with us and not be passed on.
