2. Legal basis
The term "personal data" under data protection law refers to all information relating to a specific or identifiable person. We process personal data in compliance with the relevant data protection regulations, and in particular in line with the GDPR and BDSG. We only process data on the basis of legal permission. We process personal data only with your consent (Section 15 (3) TMG or Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR), to fulfil a contract to which you are a party, or at your request to carry out pre-contractual measures (Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b GDPR), to fulfil a legal obligation (Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter c GDPR) or if processing is necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party, unless your interests or fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms that require the protection of personal data prevail (Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR).
3. Term of retention
Unless otherwise stated below, we only store the data for as long as is necessary to achieve the processing purpose or to fulfil our contractual or legal obligations. Such statutory retention requirements can arise in particular from commercial or tax law regulations. From the end of the calendar year in which the data was collected, we will keep the personal data stored as part of our accounting data for ten years and keep personal data available in business letters and contracts for six years. In addition, we will store data in connection with declarations of consent that require verification, as well as with complaints and claims for the duration of the statutory limitation periods. We will delete any data stored for marketing purposes, should you object to the processing for this purpose.
4.Categories of recipients of the respective data
We use contracted processing service providers to process your data. The processing operations carried out by such processors include, for example, hosting, maintenance and support of IT systems, customer and order management, order processing, bookkeeping and billing, marketing measures and the destruction of files and data carriers. A processor is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the person responsible for data processing. Processors do not use the data for their own purposes, but carry out the data processing exclusively on behalf of the person responsible and are contractually obliged to guarantee suitable technical and organisational measures for data protection. In addition, we may transfer your personal data to offices such as postal and delivery services, house banks, tax advisors / auditors or financial authorities. Further recipients may be identified as per the information lined out below.
5. Transfer of data to third countries
Visiting our website may involve the transmission of certain personal data to third countries, i.e. countries in which the GDPR does not apply. Such transfers take place in a permissible manner, if the European Commission has determined that an adequate level of data protection is required in such a third country. If there is no such adequacy decision by the European Commission, personal data will only be transferred to a third country if there are suitable guarantees in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR or as long as one of the requirements of Art. 49 GDPR is met.
Unless otherwise stated below, we use standard EU contractual clauses as suitable guarantees for the transmission of personal data to processors in third countries: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/?uri= CELEX% 3A32010D0087. As far as we consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the transfer takes place on the legal basis of Art. 49 Paragraph 1 Letter a GDPR.
6.Processing whilst exercising your rights as per Art. 15 to 22 GDPR
As far as you choose to exercise your rights as per Art. 15 to 22 GDPR, we will process the transmitted personal data for the purpose of us implementing these rights and in order to be able to provide evidence of the same. For the purpose of providing information and preparing it, we will only process data stored for this purpose and for data protection control purposes and otherwise restrict processing in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR. This processing of data is based on the legal basis of Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter c GDPR in conjunction with Art. 15 to 22 GDPR and Section 34 Paragraph 2 BDSG.
7. Your rights

II. Data processing via our website
When using the website, we collect the information provided by you. In addition, certain information about your use of the website is automatically recorded by us during your visit to the website. Under data protection law, the IP address is generally considered to be personal data. An IP address is assigned to every device connected to the Internet by the Internet provider so as to send and receive data.
1. Processing of server log files
When using our website for information purposes only, general information is initially stored automatically (i.e. not via registration), which your browser transmits to our server. This includes by default: browser type / version, operating system used, page accessed, the previously visited page (referrer URL), IP address, date and time of the server request and HTTP status code. The processing takes place so as to safeguard our legitimate interests and is based on the legal basis of Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR. The processing of such data serves the purpose of technical administration and the security of the website. The stored data will be deleted after 14 days at the latest, if there is no justified suspicion of illegal use based on concrete indications and further examination and processing of the information is necessary for this reason. We are not able to identify you as a data subject based on the stored information. Articles 15 to 22 of the GDPR therefore do not apply in accordance with Article 11 (2) of the GDPR, unless you provide additional information that enables you to be identified in order to exercise your rights as set out in these articles.
2. Cookies
We use cookies and comparable technologies ("cookies") on our website. Cookies are small text files that are saved by your browser when you visit a website.

The use of cookies is in part technically necessary for the operation of our website and is therefore permitted without the user’s consent. We may also use cookies to offer special functions and content, as well as for analysis and marketing purposes. These may also include cookies from third-party providers (so-called third-party cookies). We only use cookies, which are not technically necessary, with your consent in accordance with Section 15 (3) TMG or Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

The consent management tool "Usercentrics" from Usercentrics GmbH (Germany / EU) enables users of our website to give consent to certain data processing processes, to revoke consent given or to object to data processing. The Consent management tool also helps us to provide proof of your declarations of consent. For this purpose, log data is processed for your declarations of consent. The processing of this data is necessary in order to be able to prove that consent was granted. The legal basis is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter c GDPR in conjunction with Article 7 Paragraph 1 GDPR. Further information may be found in the settings of the consent management tool.
4. Contact options and requests
a. Contact form
Our website contains a contact form, which you may use to send us a message. The transfer of your data is encrypted (recognisable by the "https" in the address line of the browser).

b. Reviews and feedback
We participate in the review process Trustpilot, a service of the provider Trustpilot A / S (Denmark / EU). Trustpilot offers our customers the opportunity to rate our services.

7. Google Tag Manager
We use the Google Tag Manager from Google Ireland Limited (Ireland / EU). The Google tag manager is used to manage our website tags via an interface. The Google tag manager is a cookie-free domain that does not collect or store any personal data. The Google tag manager only triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data without accessing the respective data themselves. If a deactivation is made at domain or cookie level, this remains in effect for all tracking tags that are implemented with the Google tag manager.
8. Google marketing services
We use the Google Analytics service of Google Ireland Limited (Ireland / EU) to tailor our website to your needs and continuously optimize it. The service uses cookies, which enable an analysis of your use of our website. Personal data is processed in the form of online identifiers (including cookie identifiers), IP addresses, device identifiers and information about the interaction with our website. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online offer by users, to compile reports on the activities within our website and to provide us with other services related to the use of our website and the internet. In doing so, user profiles can be created from the processed data, which we may link to data that we have received via our contact form. We only use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymisation. This means that the IP address of the user is shortened by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other countries subject to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. We use the Google Universal Analytics and Google Analytics 4 variant. Google Analytics 4. These enable us to track interaction data from different devices and from different sessions. In this way we are able to put individual user actions in context and analyze long-term relationships. The data on user actions are stored for a period of 14 months and then automatically deleted. All other event data is stored for 2 months and then automatically deleted. The deletion of the data, the storage period of which has expired, takes place automatically once a month.
We use the Google Ads Conversions marketing service from Google Ireland Limited (Ireland / EU). With Google Ads, we can place ads that are relevant to users in the Google advertising network (e.g. in search results or on other websites), improve reports on campaign performance and prevent users from being shown ads multiple times. Each Ads customer places a different conversion cookie. These cookies can therefore not be tracked across the websites of different Ads customers. A cookie ID is used to record which advertisements are displayed in which browser. This can prevent the same campaign from being displayed multiple times. In addition, cookie IDs can be used to record what are known as conversions, i.e. whether a user sees an advertisement and later visits the advertiser's website and purchases something there.
Through Remarketing we can appeal to users who have already interacted with our website. Our ads are delivered when this target group visits a Google website or a website within the Google advertising network. For these purposes, when our website is called up, Google executes a code and so-called (re) marketing tags are integrated into the website. With their help, an individual cookie is stored on the user's device. The cookies can be set by various domains, including google.com, doubleclick.net, googlesyndication.com or googleadservices.com. This file records which websites users have visited, which content they are interested in and which offers have been used. In addition, technical information on the browser and operating system, referring websites, visiting times and other information on the use of the online offer are stored. All user data is only processed as pseudonymous data and does not contain any information with which we can personally identify users. The displayed advertisements are therefore not displayed specifically to a person, but to the owner of the cookie.
Further information on these processing activities, the technologies used, stored data and the storage period may be found in the settings of our consent management tool. Google Marketing Services can only be used with your consent in accordance with Section 15 (3) TMG or Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
In the case of Google services, the transmission of data to Google Inc. in the USA cannot be ruled out. Please note the information contained in the section "Data transfer to third countries". Further information on Google’s privacy terms can be found in the data protection statement provided by Google: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy
9. Friendly Captcha
On this website, we are using the Friendly Captcha tool provided by Friendly Captcha GmbH (Germany, EU). This tool is used for all contact forms in order to protect the website from spam and abuse. For this integration, processing your IP address is technically necessary for a connection to the servers of Friendly Captcha to be established and for the content to be sent to your browser. Therefore, your IP address is processed by Friendly Captcha on our behalf and is replaced by a hash value immediately after collection. For further information on privacy at Friendly Captcha, please refer to the Friendly Captcha privacy information: https://friendlycaptcha.com/privacy/
We use this service for security reasons in order to check whether form entries are made by a natural person. This way, automated access attempts and attacks can be detected and blocked off. We are required by law to take technically and commercially reasonable measures to ensure the security of our website. The legal basis is sec. 6 I c GDPR in conjunction with sec. 32 GDPR. and par. 13 sec. 7 German Teleservices Act.
You can prevent this data processing at any time via your browser settings or certain browser extensions. One such extension is the matrix-based firewall uMatrix for the Firefox and Google Chrome browsers. Please note that this may result in functional restrictions on the website.
