We take appropriate technical and organizational measures, considering the state of the art, implementation costs, and the nature, scope, circumstances, and purposes of processing, as well as the varying likelihood and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk.
The measures include, in particular, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data by controlling physical access to the data, as well as access related to it, input, sharing, ensuring availability, and their separation. Furthermore, we have established procedures that ensure the exercise of rights of data subjects, deletion of data, and response to data threats. Additionally, we consider the protection of personal data already in the development or selection of hardware, software, and procedures, in accordance with the principle of data protection by design and by default.
Cooperation with processors, joint controllers, and third parties
If we disclose data to other persons and companies (processors, joint controllers, or third parties) in the context of our processing, transmit it to them, or otherwise grant them access to the data, this will only occur on the basis of a legal permission (e.g. if a transmission of data to third parties, such as payment service providers, is necessary for contract fulfillment), if users have consented, if a legal obligation provides for this, or based on our legitimate interests (e.g. when using agents, web hosts, etc.).
If we disclose data to other companies within our corporate group, transmit it, or otherwise grant them access, this is done particularly for administrative purposes as a legitimate interest and additionally on a basis that complies with legal requirements.
Transfers to third countries
If we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA), or the Swiss Confederation) or this occurs in the context of using third-party services or disclosing or transmitting data to other persons or companies, this will only take place if it is necessary to fulfill our (pre)contractual obligations, based on your consent, due to a legal obligation, or based on our legitimate interests. Subject to explicit consent or contractually required transmission, we will only process or allow the data to be processed in third countries with an acknowledged level of data protection, which includes US processors certified under the "Privacy Shield" or based on special guarantees, such as contractual obligations through so-called standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission, the existence of certifications, or binding internal data protection regulations (Art. 44 to 49 GDPR, EU Commission information page).

Cookies and Right to Object in Direct Advertising
Cookies are small files that are stored on users' computers. Within the cookies, different information can be stored. A cookie primarily serves to store information about a user (or the device on which the cookie is stored) during or after their visit to an online offering. Temporary cookies, or "session cookies" or "transient cookies," are cookies that are deleted after a user leaves an online offering and closes their browser. For example, a cookie can store the contents of a shopping cart in an online shop or a login status. "Permanent" or "persistent" cookies are cookies that remain stored even after the browser is closed. For instance, the login status can be stored if users visit it again after several days. Similarly, such a cookie can store users' interests, which are used for reach measurement or marketing purposes. "Third-party cookies" are cookies that are offered by providers other than the entity operating the online offering (otherwise, if they are only the entity's cookies, they are referred to as "first-party cookies").
We may use temporary and permanent cookies and clarify this in our privacy policy.
If we ask users for consent to use cookies (e.g., as part of a cookie consent), the legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a. GDPR. Otherwise, the personal cookies of users will be processed in accordance with the following explanations in this privacy policy based on our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our online offer in the sense of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR) or if the use of cookies is necessary for the provision of our contractual services, according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b. GDPR, or if the use of cookies is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of public authority, according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e. GDPR.
If users do not want cookies to be stored on their computer, they are asked to deactivate the corresponding option in their browser's system settings. Stored cookies can be deleted in the browser's system settings. Excluding cookies may lead to limitations in the functionality of this online offer.
A general objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can be made with a number of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/ will be explained. Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be achieved by disabling them in the browser settings. Please note that not all functions of this online offer may be available in that case.
Deletion of data
The data we process will be deleted or restricted in processing in accordance with legal requirements. Unless explicitly stated in this privacy policy, the data stored with us will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for their intended purpose and there are no legal retention obligations preventing deletion.
If the data is not deleted because it is required for other and legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted. This means that the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax reasons.
Changes and updates to the privacy policy
We ask you to regularly inform yourself about the content of our privacy policy. We will adjust the privacy policy as soon as changes in the data processing we carry out make this necessary. We will inform you as soon as the changes require an action on your part (e.g., consent) or any other individual notification.
Business-related processing
Additionally, we process
– Contract data (e.g., subject matter of the contract, duration, customer category).
– Payment data (e.g., bank details, payment history)
from our customers, prospects, and business partners for the purpose of providing contractual services, service and customer care, marketing, advertising, and market research.
Order processing in the online shop and customer account
We process our customers' data in the context of order transactions in our online shop to enable them to select and order the chosen products and services, as well as their payment and delivery, or execution.
The processed data includes inventory data, communication data, contract data, payment data, and the persons affected by the processing include our customers, prospects, and other business partners. The processing is carried out for the purpose of providing contractual services within the operation of an online shop, billing, delivery, and customer services. In this context, we use session cookies to store the shopping cart contents and permanent cookies to store the login status.
The processing is carried out to fulfill our services and to implement contractual measures (e.g., processing of order transactions) and as far as it is legally required (e.g., legally required archiving of business transactions for commercial and tax purposes). The information marked as necessary is required for the justification and fulfillment of the contract. We disclose the data to third parties only within the framework of delivery, payment, or within the scope of legal permissions and obligations, as well as when this is based on our legitimate interests, which we inform you about in this privacy policy (e.g., to legal and tax advisors, financial institutions, freight companies, and authorities).
Users can optionally create a user account, through which they can view their orders. As part of the registration, the required mandatory information is communicated to the users. User accounts are not public and cannot be indexed by search engines. If users have canceled their user account, their data regarding the user account will be deleted, provided that their retention is necessary for commercial or tax reasons. Information in the customer account remains until its deletion with subsequent archiving in the event of a legal obligation or our legitimate interests (e.g., in the case of legal disputes). It is the users' responsibility to secure their data upon cancellation before the end of the contract.
As part of the registration and re-logins as well as the use of our online services, we store the IP address and the time of the respective user action. The storage is based on our legitimate interests, as well as the users' interest in protection against abuse and other unauthorized use. A transfer of this data to third parties generally does not occur, unless it is necessary for the enforcement of our legal claims as a legitimate interest or there is a legal obligation to do so.
Deletion occurs after the expiration of statutory warranty and other contractual rights or obligations (e.g., payment claims or performance obligations from contracts with customers), whereby the necessity of data retention is reviewed every three years; in the case of retention due to statutory archiving obligations, deletion occurs after their expiration.
Registration function
Users can create a user account. As part of the registration, the required mandatory information is communicated to the users and processed based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the purpose of providing the user account. The processed data includes, in particular, the login information (name, password, and an email address). The data entered during registration is used for the purposes of using the user account and its purpose.
Users can be informed via email about information relevant to their user account, such as technical changes. If users have terminated their user account, their data regarding the user account will be deleted, subject to a legal retention obligation. It is the users' responsibility to secure their data upon termination before the end of the contract. We are entitled to irretrievably delete all data of the user stored during the contract period.
In the context of using our registration and sign-up functions as well as the use of the user account, we store the IP address and the time of the respective user action. The storage is based on our legitimate interests, as well as the users' interest in protection against abuse and other unauthorized use. This data will generally not be passed on to third parties unless it is necessary to pursue our claims or there is a legal obligation to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c. GDPR. The IP addresses will be anonymized or deleted no later than 7 days.
Contact
When contacting us (e.g., via contact form, email, phone, or through social media), the user's information will be processed to handle the contact request and its processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b. (in the context of contractual/pre-contractual relationships), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. (other inquiries) GDPR. The users' information may be stored in a Customer Relationship Management System ("CRM System") or comparable inquiry organization.
We delete inquiries if they are no longer necessary. We review the necessity every two years; furthermore, the legal archiving obligations apply.
Newsletter
With the following notes, we inform you about the contents of our newsletter as well as the registration, dispatch, and statistical evaluation procedures, as well as your rights to object. By subscribing to our newsletter, you agree to receive it and the described procedures.
Content of the newsletter: We send newsletters, emails, and other electronic notifications with promotional information (hereinafter referred to as "newsletter") only with the consent of the recipients or a legal permission. If the contents of the newsletter are specifically described as part of a subscription, they are decisive for the users' consent. Otherwise, our newsletters contain information about our services and us.
Double Opt-In and Logging: Registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means you will receive an email after registration asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no one can register with someone else's email address. The registrations for the newsletter are logged to be able to prove the registration process according to legal requirements. This includes the storage of the registration and confirmation timestamps, as well as the IP address. Changes to your data stored with the shipping service provider are also logged.
Registration data: To register for the newsletter, it is sufficient to provide your email address. Optionally, we ask you to provide a name for personal addressing in the newsletters.
The sending of the newsletter and the associated success measurement is based on the consent of the recipients according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, Art. 7 GDPR in conjunction with § 7 para. 2 no. 3 UWG or, if consent is not required, based on our legitimate interests in direct marketing according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR in conjunction with § 7 para. 3 UWG.
The logging of the registration process is based on our legitimate interests according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our interest is in using a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves both our business interests and meets the expectations of users, and also allows us to prove consents.
Cancellation/Revocation – You can cancel the receipt of our newsletter at any time, i.e., revoke your consents. A link to cancel the newsletter can be found at the end of each newsletter. We can store the unsubscribed email addresses for up to three years based on our legitimate interests before we delete them, in order to be able to prove a previously given consent. The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of possible defense against claims. An individual deletion request is possible at any time, provided that the former existence of consent is confirmed.
Newsletter – Mailchimp
The newsletter is sent using the shipping service provider "MailChimp," a newsletter dispatch platform of the US provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA. You can view the privacy policy of the shipping service provider here: [https://app.getklar.com/legal/data-protection] https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/. The Rocket Science Group LLC d/b/a MailChimp is certified under the Privacy Shield agreement and thus provides a guarantee to comply with European data protection standards (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000TO6hAAG&status=Active). The shipping service provider is used based on our legitimate interests according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR and a data processing agreement according to Art. 28 para. 3 sentence 1 GDPR.
The shipping service provider may use the data of the recipients in pseudonymous form, i.e., without assigning it to a user, to optimize or improve its own services, e.g., for the technical optimization of the dispatch and presentation of newsletters or for statistical purposes. However, the shipping service provider does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to contact them directly or to pass the data on to third parties.
Hosting and email dispatch
The hosting services we use serve to provide the following services: infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, email dispatch, security services, and technical maintenance services that we use for the operation of this online offering.
In this context, we or our hosting provider process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, meta and communication data of customers, interested parties, and visitors to this online offering based on our legitimate interests in the efficient and secure provision of this online offering in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR in conjunction with Art. 28 GDPR (conclusion of a data processing agreement).
Google Tag Manager
Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows us to manage so-called website tags through an interface (and thus integrate, for example, Google Analytics and other Google marketing services into our online offering). The Tag Manager itself (which implements the tags) does not process any personal data of users. With regard to the processing of personal data of users, reference is made to the following information on Google services. Usage policies: https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the online offering by users is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online offering by users, to compile reports on activities within this online offering, and to provide us with further services related to the use of this online offering and internet usage. Pseudonymous user profiles may be created from the processed data.
We use Google Analytics only with activated IP anonymization. This means that the IP address of users is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
The IP address transmitted by the user's browser will not be merged with other data from Google. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting their browser software accordingly; furthermore, users can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to their use of the online offering by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
If we ask users for consent (e.g., as part of cookie consent), the legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a. GDPR. Otherwise, the personal data of users is processed based on our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our online offerings in the sense of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR).
As far as data is processed in the USA, we would like to point out that Google is certified under the Privacy Shield agreement and thereby assures compliance with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).
For more information on data usage by Google, settings and objection options, please refer to Google's privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) as well as in the settings for the display of advertisements by Google (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).
The personal data of users will be deleted or anonymized after 14 months.
Facebook pixel, Custom Audiences, and Facebook conversion
Within our online offering, the so-called "Facebook pixel" of the social network Facebook, operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook"), is used.
With the help of the Facebook pixel, Facebook is able to determine visitors to our online offering as a target group for the display of ads (so-called "Facebook Ads"). Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel to show the Facebook ads we run only to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offering or who exhibit certain characteristics (e.g., interests in specific topics or products determined by the visited websites) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called "Custom Audiences"). With the help of the Facebook pixel, we also want to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of users and do not appear intrusive. Furthermore, with the help of the Facebook pixel, we can track the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called "Conversion").
The processing of data by Facebook takes place within the framework of Facebook's data usage policy. Accordingly, general information on the display of Facebook ads can be found in Facebook's data usage policy: https://www.facebook.com/policy. Specific information and details about the Facebook Pixel and its functionality can be found in the help section of Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/651294705016616.
If we ask users for consent (e.g., as part of cookie consent), the legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a. GDPR. Otherwise, the personal data of users is processed based on our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our online offerings in the sense of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR).
Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield agreement and thereby ensures compliance with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active).
You can object to the collection by the Facebook Pixel and the use of your data for displaying Facebook ads. To set which types of ads are shown to you within Facebook, you can visit the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions on settings for usage-based advertising: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads. The settings are platform-independent, meaning they apply to all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.
You can also object to the use of cookies that serve measurement and advertising purposes via the deactivation page of the Network Advertising Initiative (http://optout.networkadvertising.org/) and additionally the US website (http://www.aboutads.info/choices) or the European website (http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/) object.
Online presences in social media
We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms to communicate with customers, interested parties, and users active there and to inform them about our services.
We would like to point out that user data may be processed outside the European Union. This may pose risks for users, as it could make the enforcement of users' rights more difficult. With regard to US providers certified under the Privacy Shield, we would like to point out that they commit to comply with EU data protection standards.
Furthermore, user data is usually processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, usage profiles can be created based on user behavior and the resulting interests. These usage profiles can in turn be used to display advertisements both within and outside the platforms that presumably match the users' interests. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on the users' computers, which save the usage behavior and interests of the users. Furthermore, data can also be stored in the usage profiles independently of the devices used by the users (especially if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in).
The processing of users' personal data is based on our legitimate interests in effectively informing users and communicating with users according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR. If users are asked by the respective providers of the platforms for consent to the aforementioned data processing, the legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a., Art. 7 GDPR.
For a detailed presentation of the respective processing and the options for objection (Opt-Out), we refer to the information linked below from the providers.
Even in the case of requests for information and the assertion of user rights, we would like to point out that these can be most effectively asserted with the providers. Only the providers have access to the users' data and can take appropriate measures and provide information directly. If you still need assistance, you can contact us.

Integration of third-party services and content
We use content or service offerings from third parties within our online offerings based on our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our online offerings in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR) to integrate their content and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter uniformly referred to as "content").
This always requires that the third-party providers of this content perceive the users' IP address, as they would not be able to send the content to their browsers without the IP address. The IP address is therefore necessary for the display of this content. We strive to use only such content whose respective providers use the IP address solely for the delivery of the content. Third parties may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also referred to as "web beacons") for statistical or marketing purposes. Through the "pixel tags," information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website can be evaluated. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the users' devices and may contain technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visit times, as well as other details about the use of our online offerings, and may be linked with such information from other sources.
YouTube
We integrate the videos from the platform "YouTube" of the provider Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, Opt-Out: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.
Google Fonts
We integrate the fonts ("Google Fonts") from the provider Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. According to Google, the data of users is used solely for the purpose of displaying the fonts in the users' browsers. The integration is based on our legitimate interests in a technically secure, maintenance-free, and efficient use of fonts, their uniform display, and consideration of possible licensing restrictions for their integration. Privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
Within our online offering, functions and content of the service Instagram, offered by Instagram Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA, 94025, USA, may be integrated. This may include, for example, content such as images, videos, or texts and buttons with which users can share content of this online offering within Instagram. If users are members of the Instagram platform, Instagram can assign the call of the aforementioned content and functions to the users' profiles there.
