To make our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use cookies, which are small text files that are stored on your device. Some of these cookies are automatically deleted after you close your browser (so-called „session cookies“), while others remain on your device for a longer period and allow page settings to be saved (so-called „persistent cookies“).

5) Contact

When contacting us (e.g., via contact form or email), personal data is processed exclusively for the purpose of handling and responding to your inquiry and only to the extent necessary.

The legal basis for the processing of this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively resolved and provided that there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary.

Following the deletion of your customer account, your data will be deleted provided that all contracts concluded via it have been fully processed, no statutory retention periods conflict with this, and we have no legitimate interest in continued storage.

7) Use of customer data for direct advertising

7.1 Sign-up for our email newsletter

When you subscribe to our e-mail newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers. The sole mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your e-mail address. Providing additional data is voluntary and will be used to address you personally. For sending the newsletter, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure, which ensures that you will only receive newsletters once you have explicitly confirmed your consent to receive the newsletter by clicking on a verification link sent to the provided e-mail address.

By activating the confirmation link, you grant us your consent for the processing of your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. In doing so, we store your IP address entered by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration in order to be able to trace a potential misuse of your e-mail address at a later date. The data collected by us when registering for the newsletter is used strictly for the intended purpose.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link provided in the newsletter or by sending a corresponding message to the controller named at the beginning. Once you have unsubscribed, your e-mail address will be promptly deleted from our newsletter distribution list, unless you have explicitly consented to the continued use of your data or we reserve the right to further data use that is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this statement.

7.2 Sending the email newsletter to existing customers

If you have provided us with your email address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers by email for similar goods or services from our range to those already purchased. In accordance with Section 7 (3) of the German Unfair Competition Act (UWG), we do not need to obtain separate consent from you for this. In this respect, data processing is carried out solely on the basis of our legitimate interest in personalized direct marketing in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. If you initially objected to the use of your email address for this purpose, we will not send you any emails.

You are entitled to object to the use of your email address for the aforementioned advertising purposes at any time with effect for the future by notifying the controller named at the beginning. For this purpose, you will only incur transmission costs at the basic rates. Upon receipt of your objection, the use of your email address for advertising purposes will be discontinued immediately.

In this context, your contact data will be used strictly for the purpose of communicating updates owed by us and will only be processed by us for this purpose to the extent necessary for the respective information.

To protect our legitimate interest in determining your solvency in such cases, this data is forwarded by us to the provider in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR for the purpose of a credit check. Based on the personal data you have provided as well as other data (such as shopping cart, invoice amount, order history, payment experience), the provider checks whether the payment method you have selected can be granted with regard to payment and/or default risks.

The credit report may contain probability values (so-called score values). To the extent that score values are incorporated into the result of the credit report, they are based on a scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical procedure. Address data, among other things, but not exclusively, are included in the calculation of the score values.

You can object to this processing of your data at any time by sending a message to us or to the provider. However, the provider may remain authorized to process your personal data if this is necessary for the contractual processing of payments.

Using cookies and/or comparable technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, algorithms for reading device and browser information), the service collects and stores pseudonymized visitor data, including information about the device used, such as the IP address and browser information, in order to evaluate it for statistical analyses of usage behavior on our website and to create pseudonymized usage profiles.

Pseudonymization generally rules out any direct reference to a specific person. There is no merging with plain text data regarding your person collected in other ways.

10) Page functionalities

Google Maps

This website uses an online mapping service provided by the following provider: Google Maps (API) by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).

Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive maps to visually present geographical information. By using this service, our location is displayed to you and any potential travel directions are made easier.

Already when accessing those subpages in which the Google Maps map is embedded, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers and stored there; this may also involve a transmission to the servers of Google LLC in the USA. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether a user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not want the data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as user profiles and evaluates them.

The collection, storage, and evaluation take place in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on Google's legitimate interest in displaying personalized advertising, market research, and/or designing Google websites to meet needs. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact Google to exercise this right. If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google in the context of using Google Maps, there is also the option of completely deactivating the Google Maps web service by turning off the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps, and consequently the map display on this website, can then no longer be used.

To the extent legally required, we have obtained your consent pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR for the processing of your data described above. You may revoke your given consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please follow the procedure for making an objection described above.

For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

12) Duration of storage of personal data

The duration for which personal data is stored is determined by the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing, and – if applicable – additionally by the respective statutory retention period (e.g., retention periods under commercial and tax law).

When processing personal data on the basis of explicit consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR, the affected data will be stored until you revoke your consent.

Are there statutory retention periods for data processed in the context of legal transactions or obligations similar to legal transactions on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, and are these data routinely deleted after the retention periods have expired, provided they are no longer required for the fulfillment or initiation of a contract and/or we have no legitimate interest in continued storage?.

When processing personal data based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, such data will be stored until you exercise your right to object pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

When processing personal data for direct marketing purposes based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, such data will be stored until you exercise your right to object pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR.

Unless otherwise stated in the other information of this declaration regarding specific processing situations, stored personal data will otherwise be erased when they are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
