2 General Use of the Website

2.1 Access Data

We collect information about you when you visit this website. We automatically collect information on your user behavior and your interaction with us. We also log data about your computer or mobile device. We collect, store, and use data about every access of our online offer (so-called server logfiles). This access data includes the name and URL of the accessed file, the date and time of access, the volume of transferred data, the successful access report (HTTP response code), the browser type and version, the operating system, the referrer URL (i.e. the previously visited page), the IP address, and the enquiring provider.

We use this log data, without associating it with your person and without any other kind of profile creation, for statistical analyses for operational purposes, the security and optimization of our online offer, but also for anonymously logging the number of visitors to our website (traffic), and the extent and type of use of our website. This information allows us to analyze data traffic, find and fix bugs, and improve our services. We reserve the right to check log data after the fact if, based on concrete evidence, there is a justified suspicion of illegal use. We save IP addresses in the log files for a limited period if this serves security purposes (e.g. when you are using one of our offers). We also save IP addresses if there is concrete suspicion of a criminal offence in connection with the use of our website.

2.2 E-Mail Contact

If you contact us (e.g. via a contact form or e-mail), we store your information in order to process the query and in case of follow-up questions. We only store and use further personal data with your consent or if such storage and use is legally permitted without special consent.

2.3 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”. These are text files stored on your computer, which allow the analysis of your use of the website. Information created by a cookie about the visitor’s use of this website is generally sent to and stored on Google’s servers located in the USA.

If you are located in the European Union or in a signatory country of the Agreement on the European Economic Area, it is possible to use IP anonymization on this web page to shorten your IP address before transmission. Only in exceptional cases will the complete IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. IP anonymization is activated on this website. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide us with other website and Internet-related services.

Google does not associate the IP address transmitted by your browser with other data within the scope of Google Analytics. You can change your browser setting to prevent the storage of cookies. However, doing so may also prevent you from using some or all features provided by this website.

You can prevent Google from collecting and processing data generated by the cookie and data related to your use of this website (incl. your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plugin available from the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

For browsers on mobile devices or as an alternative to the browser plugin, you can click the link below to place an opt-out cookie that will prevent Google Analytics from collecting data during your visits to this website in the future. Please note that this opt-out cookie is only valid for this specific browser and domain. If you delete cookies in your browser, you must click this link again:

2.4 Legal Basis and Duration of Storage

Art. 6 para. 1 letter f) GDPR constitutes the legal basis of the data processing as specified in the clauses above. Our interest in the processing of data is, in particular, safeguarding the operation and security of the website, analysis of the ways visitors use the website, and simplification of the use of the website.

Unless explicitly specified otherwise, we only store personal data for the time necessary to achieve the purposes pursued.

4 Data Security

We do our utmost within the framework of applicable data protection laws and in consideration of the technical possibilities to ensure the security of your data.

Your data is encrypted for transmission. We use the encryption system SSL (Secure Socket Layer). However, please be aware that the security of any data transmission on the internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can be vulnerable. A complete protection of your data from access by third parties is impossible.

To protect your data, we employ technical and organizational security measures that we regularly update to the current available technologies.

Furthermore, we do not guarantee that our offer is available at certain times. Interferences, interruptions, or outages cannot be eliminated and must be expected. The servers we use are regularly and carefully secured.

5 Automated Individual Decision-Making

Automated individual decision-making based on collected personal data does not occur.

6 Transfer of Data to Third Parties, No Data Transfer to non-EU Countries

We generally only use your personal data within our company.

If and to the extent that we involve third parties in the performance of contracts (e.g. logistics service providers), they only receive the personal data to the extent that such transfer is required for delivery of the relevant services.

In the event that we outsource certain parts of the data processing (contractual processing), we contractually obligate the processor to use personal data only in accordance with the requirements of the data protection laws and to ensure the protection of the affected individual’s rights.

A data transfer to bodies or individuals located in non-EU countries, with the exception of those mentioned in clause 2.3 of this Privacy Policy, does not occur and is not planned.
