4. Data collection on this website

Cookies

Our website uses so-called ‘cookies’. Cookies are small data packets and do not cause
any damage to your device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session
(session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies). Session cookies
are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device
until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party
cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services provided by
third-party companies within websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain
website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping basket function or the display
of videos). Other cookies may be used to analyse user behaviour or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide
certain functions you have requested (e.g. the shopping basket function) or to optimise the
website (e.g. cookies for measuring web traffic) (necessary cookies), are stored
on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified.

The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to
ensure the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Where consent has been
sought for the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies,
processing takes place exclusively on the basis of this consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1)
TDDDG); consent may be withdrawn at any time.

You can configure your browser so that you are informed when cookies are set and
only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or generally,
and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If
cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

If any further cookies or services are used on this website, you can find details in this
Privacy Policy.

The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log

files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These include:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

The collection of this data is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has
a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website –
for this purpose, the server log files must be collected.

Contact form

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the
enquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry
and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your
consent.

The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, provided that your enquiry relates to
the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the
effective handling of enquiries addressed to us (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) or on your
consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR) where this has been requested; consent may be
withdrawn at any time.

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

Enquiries by email, telephone or fax

If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your enquiry, including all
personal data arising from it (name, enquiry), will be stored and processed by us
for the purpose of handling your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, provided that your enquiry relates to
the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the
effective handling of enquiries addressed to us (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) or on your
consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR) where this has been requested; consent may be
withdrawn at any time.

The data you send to us via contact enquiries will remain with us until you request its deletion,
withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies
(e.g. once your enquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions –
in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

Backups

We regularly create backup copies of our website to prevent data loss and ensure data can be restored in the event of technical issues.
The backups are stored on external storage solutions provided by Dropbox. In doing so, the data is transferred to the respective provider.

These backups may also contain personal data processed in connection with the use of our website.
Storage is based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR in the secure and efficient provision of our online services.

Backups are retained only for as long as is necessary for the stated purpose and are subsequently deleted.

All-In-One Security (AIOS)

In accordance with legal requirements, and taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation, and the nature, scope, context and purposes of the processing, we implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk.

These measures include, in particular, safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to the data, as well as access to, input of, disclosure of, and separation of the data.

We use the security plugin “All-In-One Security (AIOS)”, which protects our website against unauthorised access. In doing so, IP addresses, amongst other things, may be processed for the purpose of detecting and defending against attacks.

The processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR to ensure the security of our website.
