You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can decide to accept or reject each cookie. Alternatively, your browser can automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or always reject them, and you can also tell it to automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Cookies which are necessary to allow electronic communications or to provide certain functions you wish to use (such as the shopping cart) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 f of the General Data Protection Regulation (General Data Protection Regulation (DGPR)). The website owner has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically correct and optimal delivery of their services. If other cookies (such as those used to analyse your surfing behaviour) are also stored, they will be treated separately in this privacy policy.

An informal email making this request is sufficient. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.

We will retain the data you provide on the contact form until such time as you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer pertains (e.g. after processing your inquiry). Any mandatory statutory provisions, especially those regarding mandatory data retention periods, remain unaffected by this provision.

Data Transmission upon Contract Conclusion for Online Shops, Dealers and the Dispatch of Goods

We transmit personal data to third parties only if this is necessary within the context of contract processing, for example to the companies entrusted with the delivery of the goods or the credit institution commissioned with payment processing. Your data will not be transmitted for any other purpose unless you have given your express permission to do so. Your data will not be disclosed to third parties for advertising purposes without your express consent.

4. Newsletter

Nature and purpose of data processing

Your data will be used exclusively to email you the newsletter you have subscribed to. We ask for your name in order to address you personally in the newsletter and, if necessary, identify you if you wish to exercise your rights as a data subject.

You only have to provide your email address in order to receive the newsletter. When you sign up to the newsletter, the data you enter will only be used for this purpose. If need be, subscribers may also notified by email of news related to the service or registration (e.g. changes to the newsletter or technical issues).

We require a valid email address to ensure registration is effective. In order to verify that registration has been carried out by the owner of an email address, we use a ‘double-opt-in’ procedure. For this we record the order of the newsletter, the delivery of a confirmation email and the receipt of the requested reply. No further data is saved. The data is used exclusively for the delivery of the newsletter and not passed on to a third party.

Legal basis

On the basis of your expressively given consent (Art. 6 Par. 1 lit a DSGVO) we regularly send our newsletter or comparable information by email to the email address provided.

You can revoke your consent to the storage of your personal data and the use of this data for the newsletter at any time. There is a link for this in every newsletter. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on our website or by contacting us using the contact details at the end of this data protection notice.

Recipient

Recipients of the data are external processors where applicable.

Storage period

The data is only processed in this context when the corresponding consent is available. It is then deleted.

Mandatory or necessary provision

The provision of your personal data is voluntary and requires your consent. Without your consent we are unfortunately unable to send you our newsletter.

Newsletter delivery via CleverReach

Our email newsletter is delivered via our technical service provider CleverReach HmbH & Co. KG, Mühlenstr. 43, 26180 Rastede (“CleverReach”), to whom we pass on the personal data provided by you at the time of subscription. This data is forwarded in accordance with Art. 6 Par. 1 lit. f DSGVO and serves our legitimate interest of making our newsletter effective, safe and user-friendly. The data you enter to receive our newsletter (e.g. email address) is stored on the CleverReach servers in Germany and Ireland.

CleverReach uses this information for the purposes of dispatch and statistical analysis on our behalf. To facilitate this analysis, the newsletters sent by email contain web beacons or tracking pixels, single-pixel image files that are stored on our website. This makes it possible to see who has opened a newsletter email and which links have been clicked on. Conversion tracking also makes it possible to analyse whether a pre-defined action (e.g. the purchase of a product from our website) has been carried out after clicking on said link. In addition technical information is collected (e.g. time of access, IP address, web browser, operating system). This data is collected in a pseudonymised form only and is not linked to your other personal data. You therefore cannot be identified directly. This data is exclusively used for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better adapt future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.

If you would like to revoke your consent to the analysis of your data for statistical purposes, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter.

We have entered into a contract service agreement with CleverReach which requires them to protect our customers’ data and not to pass it on to third parties.

Newsletter delivery via MailChimp

Our newsletter is sent via MailChimp, a newsletter mailing platform provided by the Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

The email addresses of our newsletter recipients, as well as other data described in this notice, are stored on MailChimp servers in the USA. MailChimp uses this information for sending and evaluating the newsletters on behalf of our company. In addition, MailChimp may use this data according to its own information for the optimization and/or improvement of its own services, e. g., for technical optimization of sending and presentation of the newsletters as well as for economic purposes, i. e. to determine from which countries of origin the newsletter recipients come. However, MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them or give them to third parties.

MailChimp is certified under the US-EU data protection agreement "Privacy Shield" and therefore complies with the required EU data protection regulations.

5. Analysis Tools and Advertising

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies". These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website.

Google Analytics cookies are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its website and its advertising.

IP Anonymisation

We have activated the IP anonymisation function on this website. As a result, your IP address will be shortened prior to transmission by Google within the member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website Google will use this information in order to evaluate your use of this website for the purpose of compiling reports on website activities and to provide further services to the website operator in connection with the use of the website and the Internet. The IP address transmitted by Google Analytics from your browser is not combined with other data by Google.

Browser Plugin

You can prevent the saving of the cookies by making corresponding adjustments to your browser software; we do however point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the data generated by cookies about your use of the website (incl. your IP address) from being passed to Google, and the processing of these data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

Objection to Data Collection

You can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by clicking on the link below. An opt-out cookie is set which prevents the collection of your data during future visits to this website: Deactivating Google Analytics.

For more information about how Google Analytics handles user data, see Google's privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en.

Order Data Processing

We have concluded a contract with Google on contract data processing and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities with respect to the use of Google Analytics.

Demographic Characteristics of Google Analytics

This website uses the  "demographic features" function of Google Analytics. This enables reports to be created that contain statements about the age, gender and interests of the visitors to the site. This data comes from interest-related advertising by Google and from visitor data of third parties. This data cannot be associated with a specific individual. You can deactivate this function at any time via the display settings in your Google Account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described under "Objection to data collection".

Google Analytics Remarketing

Our websites use the Google Analytics Remarketing functions in conjunction with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

This function enables the linking of advertising target groups created with Google Analytics Remarketing to the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. This allows advertising to be displayed based on your personal interests, identified based on your previous usage and surfing behaviour on one device (e.g. your mobile phone), on other devices (such as a tablet or computer).

Once you have given your consent, Google will associate your web and app browsing history with your Google Account for this purpose. In this way, any device that signs in to your Google Account can use the same personalised promotional messaging.
In order to support this function, Google Analytics records Google-authenticated user IDs that are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create target groups for cross-device advertising.

You can permanently object to cross-device remarketing/targeting by disabling personalised advertising in your Google Account by following this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/
The data collected in your Google Account is only summarised on the basis of your consent, which you can issue or revoke at Google (Art. 6, para. 1(a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In the case of data collection processes that are not merged into your Google Account (e.g. because you do not have a Google Account or have objected to the merging), the collection of data is based on Art. 6, para. 1(f) of the GDPR. The justified interest results from the fact that the website operator has an interest in the anonymised analysis of the website visitors for advertising purposes.
You can find more information and the data protection regulations in Google's Privacy Policy at: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/

Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking

This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising program of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google").

Within the framework of Google AdWords, we use so-called conversion tracking. When you click on an advertisement placed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is set. Cookies are small text files that the Internet browser stores on the user's computer. These cookies are no longer valid after 30 days and are not used for the personal identification of the users. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognise that the user clicked on the advertisement and has been forwarded to this page.

Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers see the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that personally identifies users. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can object to such use by easily de-activating the Google Conversion Tracking cookie in your Internet browser under the User Settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

"Conversion cookies" are stored on the basis of Art. 6, para. 1(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its website and its advertising.

More information about Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking can be found in the Google Privacy Policy https://policies.google.com/privacy?gl=de.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can decide to accept or reject each cookie. Alternatively, your browser can automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or always reject them, and you can also tell it to automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Bing Ads Conversion Tracking

Our website also uses the Conversion Tracking of the Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA (Microsoft). Microsoft Bing Ads places a cookie on your computer (conversion cookie) if you have accessed our website via a Microsoft Bing advertisement.  Microsoft Bing and we can see in this way that someone has clicked on an advertisement, has been redirected to our website and reached a previously defined target page (conversion page). We only see the total number of users who clicked on a Bing advertisement and were then redirected to the conversion page. No personal information about the identity of the user is disclosed. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can also reject the setting of a cookie which is required for this – for example using a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies. In addition, Microsoft may be able to track your usage behaviour across multiple electronic devices through so-called cross-device tracking and is therefore able to display personalised advertising to you on or in Microsoft Web pages and apps.  You can disable this behaviour at https://account.microsoft.com/privacy/ad-settings/signedout?lang=en-GB.

Use of Hotjar

We use Hotjar in order to better understand our users’ needs and optimize the range of products on our website. Hotjar’s technology enables us to get a better understanding of the user experience (e.g. how much time users spend on each page, which links they click on, what they like, what they don’t like, etc) and this in turn helps us to adapt our products based on feedback from our users.  Hotjar works with cookies and other technology to collect information about user behavior and devices, especially the IP address of the device (which is recorded and saved in an anonymous form), the screen size, the type of device (Unique Device Identifiers), information about the browser used, location (country only), and the language the website is viewed in.

Web analysis by Matamo (formerly PIWIK) 

On our website we use the open source software tool Matomo (formerly PIWIK) to analyse our users’ browsing habits. The software deposits a cookie on the user’s computer (see above for more info on cookies). If parts of our website are accessed, the following data is stored:

•    (1) Two bytes of the IP address of the system used to access the website
•    (2) The website accessed
•    (3) The website which the user originally accessed our website from (referrer)
•    (4) The subpages accessed from the website 
•    (5) The length of time spent on the website
•    (6) How often the website was accessed

The software ensures that the IP addresses are not stored completely and masks 2 bytes of the IP address (e.g. 192.168.xxx.xxx). This makes it impossible to match the abbreviated IP address to the computer used to access it. 

belboon Affiliate Program (belboon GmbH)

We belong to the affiliate program “belboon” of belboon GmbH, Weinmeisterstr- 12-14, 10178 Berlin (subsequently referred to as ‘belboon’). As part of its services, belboon stores cookies on the user’s device when a visitor clicks on an ad containing the affiliate link in order to document transactions (e.g. sales leads). These cookies serve the sole purpose of enabling the success of an advertising medium to be assessed and correctly billed. In addition, belboon uses so-called “tracking pixels” which allow information such as visitor traffic to be evaluated.

The information provided by cookies and tracking pixels about the use of this website (including the IP address) and the delivery of advertising formats are transferred to a server by belboon and stored there. Belboon is able to identify that the affiliate link on that website has been clicked on. Belboon can, in certain cases, pass this (anonymous) information on to contracting parties, however data such as IP addresses are not saved together with other data. If the information also contains personal data, the processing described occurs on the basis of our legitimate financial interest in handling commission payments with belboon in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR. 

Further information on belboon’s use of data can be found in belboon’s data protection statement at https://www.belboon.com/en/about-us/privacy/

If you would like to block the analysis of user behaviour via cookies, you can set your browser to inform you when cookies are used and decide on an individual basis whether to accept cookies, only accept them in certain cases, or reject them altogether.

Where required by law, we have obtained your consent for the processing of your data described above in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time. To revoke your consent, please follow the procedure described above.
