Scope of data collection:

We collect your data in two ways: You actively share it with us, for example by filling out a contact form. On the other hand, our IT systems automatically collect technical data such as your internet browser, your operating system and the time of the page view when you visit the website. This happens automatically as soon as you visit our website.

Data use:

We use some of the data collected to provide our services, such as delivering orders and ensuring the website functions properly. Other data may be used anonymously to analyse your user behaviour.

II. Your rights

Revocation of your consent to data processing:

Many of our data processing operations are only carried out with your explicit consent. You have the right to revoke this consent at any time by sending us an informal e-mail. The revocation has no effect on the data processing that took place before the revocation.

Right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority:

In the event of a data protection breach, you have the right to complain to the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority for data protection-related issues is the State Data Protection Commissioner of the federal state in which our company is based: link to supervisory authority

Right to information, correction, blocking, deletion:

In accordance with the applicable laws, you have the right at any time to receive information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin, recipient and purpose of processing. You also have the right to have this data corrected, blocked or deleted, if applicable. If you have any questions about the processing of your personal data or other data protection concerns, you can contact us at any time using the contact details provided in the imprint.

III. Data collection systems and data protection

SSL or TLS encryption:

For security reasons and to protect confidential data that you transmit to us, we use SSL or TLS encryption. This protects your data during transmission and makes it unreadable for third parties. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the "https://" in the address line of your browser and the lock symbol in the browser line.

Server log files:

Our website provider automatically collects and stores information that your browser transmits to us. This information includes your IP address, date and time of the server request, browser type and version, operating system, referrer URL and host name of the accessing computer. This data is not merged with other data sources and is used for error diagnosis and the provision of our website.

Data transfer to third parties for contract processing:

Personal data is only passed on to third parties if it is necessary for the processing of the contract, e.g. to payment service providers or logistics companies. This is only done with your express consent or on the basis of legal grounds (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO), which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Contact form:

Data that you submit via our contact form, including your contact details, are stored in order to process your enquiry or to be available for any follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent. The processing of your data is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO), which you can revoke at any time. An informal communication by e-mail is sufficient for the revocation. The lawfulness of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected.

Registration:

In order to be able to use additional functions on our website, you have the option of registering. We use the information you provide during registration solely for the purpose of using the particular service or service for which you have registered. Please ensure that you complete all the required mandatory information when registering. If significant changes are required, for example in the scope of services or technical adjustments, we will use the e-mail address provided during registration to inform you in this way.

The processing of the data entered during registration is based on your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO). If you wish to revoke your consent, you can send us an informal e-mail at any time. However, the revocation does not affect the lawfulness of the data processing that took place before the revocation. The data collected from you during registration will be stored by us for as long as you are registered on our website and then deleted. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected by this.

Comment function:

For the comment function on our website, in addition to your comment, information on the time of the comment, your e-mail address and, if you do not comment anonymously, your chosen user name are stored. We store this data to display comments and to comply with possible legal obligations. Your IP address is also stored so that we can take action against the author in the event of illegal content.

Storage period: The comments and the associated data (e.g. IP address) are stored and remain on our website until the commented content has been completely deleted or the comments have to be deleted for legal reasons.

The storage is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You can revoke your consent at any time. For this purpose, an informal communication by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

Storage duration of posts and comments:

Contributions, comments and related data such as IP addresses are stored until they are deleted or have to be deleted for legal reasons. The storage is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO), which you can revoke at any time.

Newsletter data:

In order to send you our newsletter, we need your email address. Verification of the email address provided is required and you must give your consent to receive the newsletter. Additional data is not collected or is voluntary. We use your data exclusively for sending the newsletter. You can revoke your consent at any time by sending us an email or using the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter.

The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

Data entered to set up the subscription will be deleted in the event of unsubscription. If this data has been transmitted to us for other purposes and elsewhere, it will remain with us.

Cookies:

Our website uses cookies, small text files that your browser stores on your terminal device. Cookies improve the user-friendliness, effectiveness and security of our offer. Some cookies are "session cookies" and are automatically deleted after your browser session. Others remain on your terminal device until you delete them manually. You can configure your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and either allow them for certain cases or block them in general. However, this may affect the functionality of our website.

Cookies are used on our website to carry out electronic communication processes or to provide certain functions requested by you (e.g. the shopping basket function). These cookies are stored in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO). The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically flawless and optimised provision of its services. If other cookies (e.g. cookies to analyse your surfing behaviour) are used, you will find separate information on this in this data protection declaration.

Google Analytics:

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. Google Analytics uses cookies to analyse your use of our website. The provider of the web analytics service is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses "cookies". These are small text files that your web browser stores on your end device and enable an analysis of website usage. Information generated by cookies about your use of our website is transmitted to a Google server and stored there. The server is usually located in the USA.

Google Analytics cookies are set on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise our website and, if necessary, our advertising.

We have activated IP anonymisation to shorten your IP address in the Member States of the European Union and other contracting states of the European Economic Area before it is transmitted to Google in the USA.

There may be exceptional cases where Google transfers the full IP address to a server in the USA and truncates it there. Google will use this information on our behalf for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

You can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics. However, some functions of our website may be restricted as a result. You can also prevent the collection of data relating to your website use, including your IP address, and subsequent processing by Google. This is possible by downloading and installing the browser plug-in accessible via the following link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

You can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set, which will prevent the collection of your data during future visits to our website: Deactivate Google Analytics.

Details on how Google Analytics handles user data can be found in Google's privacy policy: support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en

In order to fully comply with the legal data protection requirements, we have concluded an order processing agreement with Google.

Our website uses the "Demographics" feature of Google Analytics to generate reports that include information on the age, gender and interests of visitors to our site. This information comes from Google's interest-based advertising and third-party visitor data. It is not possible to attribute this data to a specific person. If you wish, you can deactivate this function at any time. You can do this via the ad settings in your Google account or by objecting to the collection of data by Google Analytics, as described in the section "Objecting to data collection".

You can find more information in Google's privacy policy.

IV. Social Plugins

YouTube:

Our website uses YouTube plugins to integrate video content. When you call up a page with a YouTube plugin, your browser establishes a connection to the YouTube servers and YouTube learns which of our pages you are visiting. If you are logged into YouTube, YouTube can associate your surfing behaviour with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out beforehand.

Facebook:

Our website uses Facebook social plugins. When you call up a page with a Facebook plugin, your browser establishes a connection to the Facebook servers and Facebook receives information about your visit. If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can associate your visit with your Facebook account.

Instagram:

Instagram functions are integrated on our pages. If you are logged into your Instagram account, you can link content from our pages to your Instagram profile. This allows Instagram to assign the visit to our pages to your user account.

We would like to point out that we have no influence on the scope of the data collected by these platforms. Please refer to the privacy statements of the respective platforms for information on the use of your data.
