Privacy policy

1. Introduction

With the following information we would like to give you as a "data subject" an overview of the processing of your personal data by us and your rights under the data protection laws. It is generally possible to use our Internet pages without entering personal data. However, if you wish to make use of special services of our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If it is necessary to process personal data and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain your consent.

The processing of personal data, for example your name, address or e-mail address, is always carried out in accordance with the Basic Data Protection Regulation (DS-GVO) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to "Grubenhelden GmbH". By means of this data protection declaration we would like to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us.

As the responsible party for processing, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data processed via this website is protected as completely as possible. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, such as telephone or mail.

2. Person responsible

Responsible in the sense of the DS-GVO is the:

Grubenhelden GmbH

Maria-Theresien-Str. 1, 45964 Gladbeck, Germany

Representative of the responsible person: Matthias Bohm

3. Data protection officer

We would like to point out that no data protection officer needs to be appointed.

The contact person for data protection:

4. Definitions

The data protection declaration is based on the terms used by the European legislator for directives and regulations when the Basic Data Protection Regulation (DS-GVO) was issued. Our data protection declaration should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

We use the following terms, among others, in this data protection declaration:

Personal data

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

Person concerned

Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the controller (our company).

Processing

Processing is any operation or set of operations, performed with or without the aid of automated means, concerning personal data, such as collection, recording, organization, organization, filing, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

Restriction of processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting their future processing.

Profiling

Profiling is any automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects relating to the job performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, conduct, whereabouts or change of location of that natural person.

Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be assigned to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that this additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures that ensure that the personal data is not assigned to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Processor

Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

Recipient

The recipient is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body to whom personal data is disclosed, whether or not it is a third party. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the course of a specific investigation mandate under Union or national law shall not be considered as recipients.

Third party

A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or the processor, are authorized to process the personal data.

Consent

Consent means any freely given, informed and unambiguous expression of the data subject's will in a specific case, in the form of a statement or other unequivocal affirmative act by which the data subject signifies his or her consent to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

5. legal basis of the processing

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO (in conjunction with § 15 para. 3 TMG) serves our company as a legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.

If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations required for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b DS-GVO. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services.

If our company is subject to a legal obligation which makes it necessary to process personal data, for example to fulfil tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 letter c DS-GVO.

In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our company were to be injured and his or her name, age, health insurance details or other vital information had to be forwarded to a doctor, hospital or other third party. In this case, the processing would be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d DS-GVO.

Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f DS-GVO. Processing operations which are not covered by any of the above legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, he took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (Recital 47 Sentence 2 DS-GVO).

6. Transfer of data to third parties

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

We only pass on your personal data to third parties if:

1. you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a DS-GVO

2. the disclosure is permitted under Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f DS-GVO to protect our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data,

3. in the event that there is a legal obligation to pass on the data pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c DS-GVO, and

4. this is legally permissible and, in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b DS-GVO, necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you.

In order to protect your data and, if necessary, to enable us to transfer data to third countries (outside the EU/EEA), we have concluded agreements on order processing based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission.

7. Technique

7.1 SSL/TLS Encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login data or contact requests that you send to us as the operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the "https://" in the address line of your browser instead of "http://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.

7.2 Data collection when visiting the website

When using our website for informational purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect the data that your browser sends to our server (in so-called "server log files"). Our website collects a number of general data and information every time you or an automated system access a page. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following can be recorded

1. used browser types and versions,

2. the operating system used by the accessing system,

3. the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer),

4. the sub-websites, which are accessed via an accessing system on our website,

5. the date and time of access to the website,

6. a shortened Internet Protocol address (anonymized IP address),

7. the Internet service provider of the accessing system.

When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about your person. This information is rather required to

1. to deliver the contents of our website correctly,

2. to optimize the contents of our website and the advertising for it,

3. to ensure the permanent functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website and

4. to provide law enforcement agencies with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.

The data and information collected is therefore evaluated by us on the one hand statistically and also with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimum level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a person concerned.

The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DS-GVO. Our legitimate interest follows from the above listed purposes for data collection.

7.3 Encrypted payment transactions

If there is an obligation to provide us with your payment data (e.g. account number for direct debit authorization) after the conclusion of a chargeable contract, this data is required for payment processing.

The payment transactions via the usual means of payment (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are carried out exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.

8. Cookies

8.1 General information about cookies

We use cookies on our website. These are small files that are automatically created by your browser and stored on your IT system (laptop, tablet, smartphone or similar) when you visit our site.

Information is stored in the cookie, which in each case is related to the specifically used terminal device. This does not mean, however, that we obtain direct knowledge of your identity.

The use of cookies serves on the one hand to make the use of our offer more pleasant for you. For example, we use so-called session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted when you leave our site.

In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimize user-friendliness, which are stored on your end device for a certain defined period of time. If you visit our site again to use our services, we will automatically recognize that you have already been with us and what entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.

On the other hand, we use cookies to record the use of our website statistically and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offer for you. These cookies enable us to automatically recognize that you have already been on our site when you visit it again. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined time.

8.2 Legal basis for the use of cookies

The data processed by cookies, which are required for the proper functioning of the website, are thus necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests and those of third parties in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f DS-GVO.

For all other cookies, you have given your consent to this via our opt-in cookie banner in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO.

9. contents of our website

9.1 Registration as user

You have the possibility to register on our website by providing personal data.

Which personal data is transmitted to us in the process is determined by the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data you enter will be collected and stored exclusively for internal use by us and for our own purposes. We may arrange for the data to be passed on to one or more processors, for example a parcel service provider, who will also use the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to us.

When you register on our website, the IP address assigned by your internet service provider (ISP), the date and time of registration are also stored. The storage of this data is carried out against the background that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable the clarification of criminal offences committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary for our security. As a matter of principle, this data will not be passed on to third parties, unless there is a legal obligation to do so or the passing on of the data serves criminal prosecution.

Your registration with voluntary disclosure of personal data also enables us to offer you content or services which, by their very nature, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from our database.

On request, we will provide you with information at any time about what personal data is stored about you. Furthermore, we will correct or delete personal data at your request, provided that this does not conflict with any statutory storage obligations. A data protection officer named in this data protection declaration and all other employees are available to the person concerned as contact persons in this connection.

The processing of your data is carried out in the interest of a comfortable and easy use of our website. This constitutes a legitimate interest in the sense of Art. 6 Para. 1 letter f DS-GVO.

9.2 Data processing when opening a customer account and for contract processing

In accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DS-GVO, personal data is collected and processed when you provide us with this information for the purpose of executing a contract or opening a customer account. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. Your customer account can be deleted at any time and can be done by sending a message to the above-mentioned address of the person responsible. We store and use the data you provide us with for the purpose of contract processing. After complete processing of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be blocked with regard to tax and commercial law retention periods and deleted after these periods have expired, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or a legally permitted further use of data has been reserved by us, about which we will inform you accordingly below.

9.3 Data processing for order processing

The personal data collected by us will be passed on to the transport company commissioned with the delivery within the framework of the contract processing, as far as this is necessary for the delivery of the goods. Your payment data will be passed on to the assigned credit institute within the scope of the payment processing, as far as this is necessary for the payment processing. If payment service providers are used, we will explicitly inform you about this below. The legal basis for the transfer of data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DS-GVO.

9.4 Conclusion of contracts for online store, dealer and shipping of goods

We only transfer personal data to third parties if this is necessary for the execution of the contract, for example to the companies entrusted with the delivery of the goods or the credit institution commissioned with the handling of payments. A further transmission of the data is not carried out or only if you have expressly agreed to the transmission. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent, for example for advertising purposes.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 letter b DS-GVO, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

9.5 Contacts / Contact form

Personal data is collected when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail). Which data is collected in the case of a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. These data are stored and used exclusively for the purpose of answering your request or for contacting you and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest in answering your request in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 letter f DS-GVO. If your contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, an additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DS-GVO. Your data will be deleted after the final processing of your request. This is the case if it is clear from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and provided that there are no legal obligations to retain data.

9.6 Application Management / Job Exchange

We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application procedure. The processing can also be done electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits the relevant application documents to us electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website. If we conclude an employment contract with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If we do not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests on our part stand in the way of deletion. Other legitimate interests in this sense are, for example, a duty of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 88 DS-GVO in conjunction with § 26 paragraph 1 BDSG.

10. newsletter dispatch

10.1 Newsletter dispatch to existing customers

If you have provided us with your e-mail address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to send you regular offers on similar goods or services from our product range by e-mail. In accordance with § 7 paragraph 3 UWG we do not need to obtain your separate consent for this. In this respect, data processing is carried out solely on the basis of our justified interest in personalized direct advertising in accordance with Art. 6 Par. 1 lit. f DS-GVO. If you have initially objected to the use of your e-mail address for this purpose, we will not send you an e-mail. You are entitled to object to the use of your e-mail address for the above-mentioned advertising purpose at any time with effect for the future by notifying the person responsible named at the beginning of this document. For this you will only incur transmission costs according to the basic tariffs. After receipt of your objection, the use of your e-mail address for advertising purposes will be immediately discontinued.

10.2 Advertising Newsletter

On our website you have the possibility to subscribe to the newsletter of our company. Which personal data is transmitted to us when ordering the newsletter is determined by the input mask used for this purpose.

We inform our customers and business partners about our offers in regular intervals by means of a newsletter. The newsletter of our company can only be received by you if

1. you have a valid e-mail address and

2. you have registered for the newsletter.

For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address you entered for the first time. This confirmation mail is used to check whether you as the owner of the e-mail address have authorized the receipt of the newsletter.

When you register for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by your Internet service provider (ISP) for the IT system you are using at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of your e-mail address at a later date and therefore serves as a legal safeguard.

The personal data collected during registration for the newsletter will be used exclusively for sending our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter could be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or for registration, as might be the case if there are changes to the newsletter offer or if technical conditions change. The personal data collected within the scope of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by you at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which you have given us for the newsletter service, can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking your consent, you will find a corresponding link in every newsletter. Furthermore, it is also possible at any time to unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on our website or to inform us of this in another way.

The legal basis for data processing for the purpose of sending the newsletter is Art. 6 Par. 1 lit. a DS-GVO.

10.3 Newsletter Tracking

Our newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a thumbnail graphic embedded in such e-mails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded pixel-code, the company can see if and when an e-mail was opened by you and which links in the e-mail were called up by you.

Such personal data collected via the pixel-code contained in the newsletters is stored and evaluated by us in order to optimize newsletter dispatch and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to your interests. This personal data is not passed on to third parties. Affected persons are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent issued in this regard using the double opt-in procedure. After a revocation, this personal data will be deleted by us. We automatically interpret a cancellation of the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.

In particular, such an evaluation is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit.f DS-GVO on the basis of our legitimate interests in the insertion of personalized advertising, market research and/or needs-based design of our website.

10.4 CleverReach

This website uses CleverReach for sending newsletters. The provider is CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, Mühlenstr. 43, 26180 Rastede. CleverReach is a service with which the sending of newsletters can be organized and analyzed. The data you enter for the purpose of receiving the newsletter (e.g. e-mail address) is stored on the CleverReach servers in Germany or Ireland.

Our newsletters sent with CleverReach allow us to analyze the behavior of the newsletter recipients. Among other things, we can analyze how many recipients opened the newsletter message and how often which link in the newsletter was clicked on. With the help of the so-called conversion tracking, it can also be analyzed whether a predefined action (e.g. purchase of a product on our website) was performed after clicking on the link in the newsletter. Further information about data analysis by CleverReach newsletter can be found at: https://www.cleverreach.com/de/funktionen/reporting-und-tracking/.

The data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO). You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

If you do not want CleverReach to analyze your data, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message. Furthermore, you can also unsubscribe directly on the website.

You can revoke your consent at any time. You can also prevent processing at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. You can also prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your web browser settings accordingly. You can also prevent the storage and transmission of personal data by deactivating Java-Script in your web browser or by installing a Java-Script blocker (e.g. https://noscript.net or https://www.ghostery.com). We would like to point out that these measures may mean that not all functions of our Internet offer are available.

The data that you provide us with for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from our servers as well as from the servers of CleverReach after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored for other purposes (e.g. e-mail addresses for the member area) remain unaffected.

For further details, please refer to the CleverReach privacy policy at: https://www.cleverreach.com/de/datenschutz/.

11. our activities in social networks

To enable us to communicate with you in social networks and to inform you about our services, we are represented there with our own pages. If you visit one of our social media sites, we are jointly responsible with the provider of the respective social media platform in terms of the processing operations triggered by this, which involve personal data, in accordance with Art. 26 DS-GVO.

We are not the original provider of these sites, but only use them within the scope of the possibilities offered to us by the respective providers.

Therefore, as a precautionary measure we would like to point out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. A use can therefore have data protection risks for you, as the protection of your rights, e.g. to information, deletion, objection, etc., can be difficult and the processing in the social networks often takes place directly for advertising purposes or for the analysis of user behavior by the providers, without this being able to be influenced by us. If user profiles are created by the provider, cookies are often used or the user behavior is directly assigned to your own member profile of the social networks (if you are logged in here).

In accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 letter f DS-GVO, the described processing of personal data is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest and the legitimate interest of the respective provider, in order to be able to communicate with you in a contemporary manner or to inform you about our services. If you have to give your consent to data processing as a user with the respective provider, the legal basis refers to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO in conjunction with Art. 7 DS-GVO.

Since we do not have access to the data stocks of the providers, we point out that your rights (e.g. to information, correction, deletion, etc.) are best exercised directly with the respective provider. For further information on the processing of your data in social networks and the possibility to make use of your right of objection or revocation (so-called opt-out), we have listed below with the respective provider of social networks used by us:

13.3 Google Analytics Remarketing

We have integrated services from Google Remarketing on this website. Google Remarketing is a function of Google AdWords, which enables a company to display advertising to Internet users who have previously visited the company's website. The integration of Google Remarketing thus allows a company to create user-related advertising and thus to display interest-relevant advertisements to the Internet user.

Operator company of the services of Google Remarketing is the Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Purpose of Google Remarketing is the fade in of interest-relevant advertisement. Google Remarketing enables us to display advertisements via the Google advertising network or to have them displayed on other Internet sites, which are tailored to the individual needs and interests of Internet users.

Google Remarketing sets a cookie on your IT system of the person concerned. By setting the cookie, Google is able to recognize the visitor to our website if he or she subsequently calls up websites that are also members of the Google advertising network. With each call to a website on which the Google Remarketing service has been integrated, your Internet browser automatically identifies itself to Google. Within the scope of this technical procedure, Google receives knowledge of personal data, such as your IP address or surfing behavior, which Google uses, among other things, to display interest-relevant advertising.

By means of the cookie, personal information, for example the websites you visit, is stored. Each time you visit our website, personal data, including your IP address, is transferred to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.

You can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on your IT system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, you have the possibility to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do so, you must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from every Internet browser you use and make the desired settings there.

in particularThese processing operations are only carried out if you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO.

Further information and the applicable data protection regulations of Google can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

14. advertising

14.1 Google Ads (formerly AdWords)

Our site uses the features of Google Ads, and we hereby promote this site in Google search results, as well as on third-party sites. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). For this purpose, Google sets a cookie in the browser of your device, which automatically enables interest-based advertising using a pseudonymous cookie ID and based on the pages you visit.

These processing operations are only carried out if you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 letter a DS-GVO.

Any further data processing will only take place if you have agreed with Google that your Internet and app browsing history will be linked by Google to your Google Account and information from your Google Account will be used to personalize ads you view on the web. In this case, if you are logged in to Google while visiting our website, Google will use your information together with Google Analytics data to create and define target group lists for cross-device remarketing. For this purpose, Google temporarily links your personal data with Google Analytics data to form target groups.

You can permanently disable the setting of cookies for advertising preferences by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/

Alternatively, you can inform yourself about the setting of cookies and make settings for this at the Digital Advertising Alliance at the Internet address www.aboutads.info. Finally, you can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and can decide individually whether to accept them or to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally. If cookies are not accepted, the functionality of our website may be limited.

Further information and the privacy policy regarding advertising and Google can be found here: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/

14.2 Google AdSense

We have integrated Google AdSense on this website. Google AdSense is an online service, which enables the placement of advertising on third party sites. Google AdSense is based on an algorithm which selects the advertisements displayed on third party sites according to the content of the respective third party site. Google AdSense allows an interest-based targeting of the Internet user, which is implemented by generating individual user profiles.

The operating company of the Google AdSense component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The purpose of the Google AdSense component is the integration of advertisements on our website. Google AdSense sets a cookie on your IT system. By setting the cookie, Alphabet Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA, is enabled to analyze the use of our website. Each time you call up one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by us and on which a Google AdSense component has been integrated, the Internet browser on your IT system is automatically prompted by the respective Google AdSense component to transmit data to Alphabet Inc. for the purposes of online advertising and the billing of commissions. As part of this technical process, Alphabet Inc. obtains knowledge of personal data, such as your IP address, which is used by Alphabet Inc. among other things to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission invoicing.

You may refuse the use of cookies on our website at any time by selecting the appropriate settings on your internet browser, thereby permanently rejecting the use of cookies. Such a setting on the Internet browser used would also prevent Alphabet Inc. from setting a cookie on your IT system. In addition, a cookie already set by Alphabet Inc. can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

Google AdSense also uses so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in Internet pages to enable log file recording and log file analysis, which allows statistical evaluation. The embedded pixel-code enables Alphabet Inc. to recognize whether and when an Internet page was opened by your IT system and which links were clicked on by you. Counting pixels are used, among other things, to evaluate the flow of visitors to a website.

Through Google AdSense, personal data and information, which includes IP addresses and is necessary for the collection and billing of the ads displayed, is transferred to Alphabet Inc. in the United States of America. This personal data is stored and processed in the United States of America. Under certain circumstances, Alphabet Inc. may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.

Google AdSense is explained in more detail under this link https://www.google.de/intl/de/adsense/start/.

These processing operations are only carried out when express consent is granted in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO.

14.3 Google Ads with conversion tracking

We have integrated Google Ads on this website. Google Ads is an Internet advertising service that allows advertisers to display ads in Google's search engine results as well as in the Google advertising network. Google Ads allows an advertiser to specify pre-defined keywords that will display an ad in Google's search engine results only when the user uses the search engine to retrieve a keyword relevant search result. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed to topic-relevant Internet pages by means of an automatic algorithm and in accordance with the previously defined keywords.

The operating company of Google Ads services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The purpose of Google Ads is to promote our website by displaying advertisements relevant to our interests on the websites of third party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine and by displaying third-party advertisements on our website.

If you reach our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is stored on your IT system by Google. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used for your identification. If the cookie has not expired, the conversion cookie is used to determine whether certain sub-pages, for example the shopping cart from an online store system, have been accessed on our website. The conversion cookie enables both we and Google to track whether a user who has reached our website via an AdWords ad generated sales, i.e. whether he or she has completed or cancelled a purchase.

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are in turn used by us to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective ads and to optimize our ads for the future. Neither our company nor other Google Ads advertisers receive information from Google that could be used to identify you.

The conversion cookie is used to store personal information, such as the websites you visit. Whenever you visit our website, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection you are using, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.

You can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on your IT system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Ads can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, you have the opportunity to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do so, you must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from the Internet browser you are using and make the desired settings there.

These processing operations are only carried out if you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

15. plugins and other services

15.1 Google Maps

On our website we use Google Maps (API) from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Maps is a web service for the display of interactive (land) maps to visualize geographical information. By using this service, you can, for example, see our location and make it easier for you to find us.

Already when you call up those sub-pages in which the Google Maps map is integrated, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers in the USA and stored there. This happens regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in at Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish to be associated with your Google profile, you will need to log out of your Google account. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as user profiles and evaluates them. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right.

If you do not agree with the future transmission of your data to Google in the context of the use of Google Maps, there is also the possibility to completely deactivate the web service of Google Maps by switching off the application JavaScript in your browser. Google Maps and thus the map display on this website cannot then be used.

These processing operations will only take place if express consent is granted in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 letter a DS-GVO.

You can view Google's terms of use at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html. The additional terms of use for Google Maps can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de_US/help/terms_maps.html.

Detailed information on data protection in connection with the use of Google Maps can be found on the Google website ("Google Privacy Policy"): https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/

15.2 Google reCAPTCHA

On this website we also use the reCAPTCHA feature of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). This function is mainly used to distinguish whether an entry is made by a natural person or abusively by machine and automated processing. The service also includes the sending of the IP address and, if applicable, other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google.

These processing operations will only be carried out if the express consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO is granted.

Further information on Google reCAPTCHA and the Google privacy policy can be found at: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/

15.3 Google Tag Manager

This website uses Google Tag Manager, a cookie-less domain that does not collect personal information.

Through this tool, "website tags" (i.e. keywords that are embedded in HTML elements) can be implemented and managed through an interface. By using Google Tag Manager, we can automatically track which button, link or personalized image you have actively clicked on and can then record which contents of our website are of particular interest to you.

The tool also triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If you have disabled it at the domain or cookie level, it will remain disabled for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.

These processing operations are only carried out if you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 letter a DS-GVO.

15.4 Google WebFonts

Our website uses so-called web fonts for the uniform display of fonts, which are provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.

To do this, the browser you are using must connect to Google's servers. Through this, Google gets knowledge that our website was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our website.

These processing operations are only carried out if you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO.

Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in the Google privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

15.5 YouTube (videos)

We have integrated components from YouTube on this website. YouTube is an Internet video portal that allows video publishers to post video clips free of charge and other users to view, rate and comment on them free of charge. YouTube allows the publication of all types of videos, which is why complete film and television broadcasts, but also music videos, trailers or videos created by users themselves can be accessed via the Internet portal.

The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Each time you access any of the individual pages of this website operated by us and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, the Internet browser on your IT system is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a representation of the respective YouTube component from YouTube. More information about YouTube can be found at https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/. In the course of this technical process, YouTube and Google are informed which specific subpage of our website you are visiting.

If the person concerned is logged on to YouTube at the same time, YouTube will recognize which specific subpage of our website you are visiting by calling up a subpage containing a YouTube video. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to your YouTube account.

YouTube and Google receive information via the YouTube component about your visit to our website whenever you are logged in to YouTube at the same time you access our website, regardless of whether you click on a YouTube video or not. If you do not want this information to be sent to YouTube and Google, you can prevent it from being sent by logging out of your YouTube account before you visit our website.

These processing operations are only carried out if you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO.

The data protection regulations published by YouTube, which can be accessed at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/, provide information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.

We would like to point out that no data protection officer needs to be appointed.

The contact person for data protection:

4. Definitions

The data protection declaration is based on the terms used by the European legislator for directives and regulations when the Basic Data Protection Regulation (DS-GVO) was issued. Our data protection declaration should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

We use the following terms, among others, in this data protection declaration:

Personal data

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

Person concerned

Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the controller (our company).

Processing

Processing is any operation or set of operations, performed with or without the aid of automated means, concerning personal data, such as collection, recording, organization, organization, filing, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

Restriction of processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting their future processing.

Profiling

Profiling is any automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects relating to the job performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, conduct, whereabouts or change of location of that natural person.

Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be assigned to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that this additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures that ensure that the personal data is not assigned to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Processor

Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

Recipient

The recipient is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body to whom personal data is disclosed, whether or not it is a third party. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the course of a specific investigation mandate under Union or national law shall not be considered as recipients.

Third party

A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or the processor, are authorized to process the personal data.

Consent

Consent means any freely given, informed and unambiguous expression of the data subject's will in a specific case, in the form of a statement or other unequivocal affirmative act by which the data subject signifies his or her consent to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

5. legal basis of the processing

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO (in conjunction with § 15 para. 3 TMG) serves our company as a legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.

If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations required for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b DS-GVO. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services.

If our company is subject to a legal obligation which makes it necessary to process personal data, for example to fulfil tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 letter c DS-GVO.

In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our company were to be injured and his or her name, age, health insurance details or other vital information had to be forwarded to a doctor, hospital or other third party. In this case, the processing would be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d DS-GVO.

Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f DS-GVO. Processing operations which are not covered by any of the above legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, he took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (Recital 47 Sentence 2 DS-GVO).

6. Transfer of data to third parties

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

We only pass on your personal data to third parties if:

1. you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a DS-GVO

2. the disclosure is permitted under Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f DS-GVO to protect our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data,

3. in the event that there is a legal obligation to pass on the data pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c DS-GVO, and

4. this is legally permissible and, in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b DS-GVO, necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you.

In order to protect your data and, if necessary, to enable us to transfer data to third countries (outside the EU/EEA), we have concluded agreements on order processing based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission.

7. Technique

7.1 SSL/TLS Encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login data or contact requests that you send to us as the operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the "https://" in the address line of your browser instead of "http://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.

7.2 Data collection when visiting the website

When using our website for informational purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect the data that your browser sends to our server (in so-called "server log files"). Our website collects a number of general data and information every time you or an automated system access a page. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following can be recorded

1. used browser types and versions,

2. the operating system used by the accessing system,

3. the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer),

4. the sub-websites, which are accessed via an accessing system on our website,

5. the date and time of access to the website,

6. a shortened Internet Protocol address (anonymized IP address),

7. the Internet service provider of the accessing system.

When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about your person. This information is rather required to

1. to deliver the contents of our website correctly,

2. to optimize the contents of our website and the advertising for it,

3. to ensure the permanent functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website and

4. to provide law enforcement agencies with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.

The data and information collected is therefore evaluated by us on the one hand statistically and also with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimum level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a person concerned.

The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DS-GVO. Our legitimate interest follows from the above listed purposes for data collection.

7.3 Encrypted payment transactions

If there is an obligation to provide us with your payment data (e.g. account number for direct debit authorization) after the conclusion of a chargeable contract, this data is required for payment processing.

The payment transactions via the usual means of payment (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are carried out exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.

8. Cookies

8.1 General information about cookies

We use cookies on our website. These are small files that are automatically created by your browser and stored on your IT system (laptop, tablet, smartphone or similar) when you visit our site.

Information is stored in the cookie, which in each case is related to the specifically used terminal device. This does not mean, however, that we obtain direct knowledge of your identity.

The use of cookies serves on the one hand to make the use of our offer more pleasant for you. For example, we use so-called session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted when you leave our site.

In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimize user-friendliness, which are stored on your end device for a certain defined period of time. If you visit our site again to use our services, we will automatically recognize that you have already been with us and what entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.

On the other hand, we use cookies to record the use of our website statistically and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offer for you. These cookies enable us to automatically recognize that you have already been on our site when you visit it again. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined time.

8.2 Legal basis for the use of cookies

The data processed by cookies, which are required for the proper functioning of the website, are thus necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests and those of third parties in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f DS-GVO.

For all other cookies, you have given your consent to this via our opt-in cookie banner in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO.

9. contents of our website

9.1 Registration as user

You have the possibility to register on our website by providing personal data.

Which personal data is transmitted to us in the process is determined by the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data you enter will be collected and stored exclusively for internal use by us and for our own purposes. We may arrange for the data to be passed on to one or more processors, for example a parcel service provider, who will also use the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to us.

When you register on our website, the IP address assigned by your internet service provider (ISP), the date and time of registration are also stored. The storage of this data is carried out against the background that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable the clarification of criminal offences committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary for our security. As a matter of principle, this data will not be passed on to third parties, unless there is a legal obligation to do so or the passing on of the data serves criminal prosecution.

Your registration with voluntary disclosure of personal data also enables us to offer you content or services which, by their very nature, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from our database.

On request, we will provide you with information at any time about what personal data is stored about you. Furthermore, we will correct or delete personal data at your request, provided that this does not conflict with any statutory storage obligations. A data protection officer named in this data protection declaration and all other employees are available to the person concerned as contact persons in this connection.

The processing of your data is carried out in the interest of a comfortable and easy use of our website. This constitutes a legitimate interest in the sense of Art. 6 Para. 1 letter f DS-GVO.

9.2 Data processing when opening a customer account and for contract processing

In accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DS-GVO, personal data is collected and processed when you provide us with this information for the purpose of executing a contract or opening a customer account. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. Your customer account can be deleted at any time and can be done by sending a message to the above-mentioned address of the person responsible. We store and use the data you provide us with for the purpose of contract processing. After complete processing of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be blocked with regard to tax and commercial law retention periods and deleted after these periods have expired, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or a legally permitted further use of data has been reserved by us, about which we will inform you accordingly below.

9.3 Data processing for order processing

The personal data collected by us will be passed on to the transport company commissioned with the delivery within the framework of the contract processing, as far as this is necessary for the delivery of the goods. Your payment data will be passed on to the assigned credit institute within the scope of the payment processing, as far as this is necessary for the payment processing. If payment service providers are used, we will explicitly inform you about this below. The legal basis for the transfer of data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DS-GVO.

9.4 Conclusion of contracts for online store, dealer and shipping of goods

We only transfer personal data to third parties if this is necessary for the execution of the contract, for example to the companies entrusted with the delivery of the goods or the credit institution commissioned with the handling of payments. A further transmission of the data is not carried out or only if you have expressly agreed to the transmission. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent, for example for advertising purposes.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 letter b DS-GVO, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

9.5 Contacts / Contact form

Personal data is collected when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail). Which data is collected in the case of a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. These data are stored and used exclusively for the purpose of answering your request or for contacting you and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest in answering your request in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 letter f DS-GVO. If your contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, an additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DS-GVO. Your data will be deleted after the final processing of your request. This is the case if it is clear from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and provided that there are no legal obligations to retain data.

9.6 Application Management / Job Exchange

We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application procedure. The processing can also be done electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits the relevant application documents to us electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website. If we conclude an employment contract with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If we do not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests on our part stand in the way of deletion. Other legitimate interests in this sense are, for example, a duty of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 88 DS-GVO in conjunction with § 26 paragraph 1 BDSG.

10. newsletter dispatch

10.1 Newsletter dispatch to existing customers

If you have provided us with your e-mail address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to send you regular offers on similar goods or services from our product range by e-mail. In accordance with § 7 paragraph 3 UWG we do not need to obtain your separate consent for this. In this respect, data processing is carried out solely on the basis of our justified interest in personalized direct advertising in accordance with Art. 6 Par. 1 lit. f DS-GVO. If you have initially objected to the use of your e-mail address for this purpose, we will not send you an e-mail. You are entitled to object to the use of your e-mail address for the above-mentioned advertising purpose at any time with effect for the future by notifying the person responsible named at the beginning of this document. For this you will only incur transmission costs according to the basic tariffs. After receipt of your objection, the use of your e-mail address for advertising purposes will be immediately discontinued.

10.2 Advertising Newsletter

On our website you have the possibility to subscribe to the newsletter of our company. Which personal data is transmitted to us when ordering the newsletter is determined by the input mask used for this purpose.

We inform our customers and business partners about our offers in regular intervals by means of a newsletter. The newsletter of our company can only be received by you if

1. you have a valid e-mail address and

2. you have registered for the newsletter.

For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address you entered for the first time. This confirmation mail is used to check whether you as the owner of the e-mail address have authorized the receipt of the newsletter.

When you register for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by your Internet service provider (ISP) for the IT system you are using at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of your e-mail address at a later date and therefore serves as a legal safeguard.

The personal data collected during registration for the newsletter will be used exclusively for sending our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter could be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or for registration, as might be the case if there are changes to the newsletter offer or if technical conditions change. The personal data collected within the scope of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by you at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which you have given us for the newsletter service, can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking your consent, you will find a corresponding link in every newsletter. Furthermore, it is also possible at any time to unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on our website or to inform us of this in another way.

The legal basis for data processing for the purpose of sending the newsletter is Art. 6 Par. 1 lit. a DS-GVO.

10.3 Newsletter Tracking

Our newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a thumbnail graphic embedded in such e-mails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded pixel-code, the company can see if and when an e-mail was opened by you and which links in the e-mail were called up by you.

Such personal data collected via the pixel-code contained in the newsletters is stored and evaluated by us in order to optimize newsletter dispatch and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to your interests. This personal data is not passed on to third parties. Affected persons are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent issued in this regard using the double opt-in procedure. After a revocation, this personal data will be deleted by us. We automatically interpret a cancellation of the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.

In particular, such an evaluation is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit.f DS-GVO on the basis of our legitimate interests in the insertion of personalized advertising, market research and/or needs-based design of our website.

10.4 CleverReach

This website uses CleverReach for sending newsletters. The provider is CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, Mühlenstr. 43, 26180 Rastede. CleverReach is a service with which the sending of newsletters can be organized and analyzed. The data you enter for the purpose of receiving the newsletter (e.g. e-mail address) is stored on the CleverReach servers in Germany or Ireland.

Our newsletters sent with CleverReach allow us to analyze the behavior of the newsletter recipients. Among other things, we can analyze how many recipients opened the newsletter message and how often which link in the newsletter was clicked on. With the help of the so-called conversion tracking, it can also be analyzed whether a predefined action (e.g. purchase of a product on our website) was performed after clicking on the link in the newsletter. Further information about data analysis by CleverReach newsletter can be found at: https://www.cleverreach.com/de/funktionen/reporting-und-tracking/.

The data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO). You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

If you do not want CleverReach to analyze your data, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message. Furthermore, you can also unsubscribe directly on the website.

You can revoke your consent at any time. You can also prevent processing at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. You can also prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your web browser settings accordingly. You can also prevent the storage and transmission of personal data by deactivating Java-Script in your web browser or by installing a Java-Script blocker (e.g. https://noscript.net or https://www.ghostery.com). We would like to point out that these measures may mean that not all functions of our Internet offer are available.

The data that you provide us with for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from our servers as well as from the servers of CleverReach after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored for other purposes (e.g. e-mail addresses for the member area) remain unaffected.

For further details, please refer to the CleverReach privacy policy at: https://www.cleverreach.com/de/datenschutz/.

11. our activities in social networks

To enable us to communicate with you in social networks and to inform you about our services, we are represented there with our own pages. If you visit one of our social media sites, we are jointly responsible with the provider of the respective social media platform in terms of the processing operations triggered by this, which involve personal data, in accordance with Art. 26 DS-GVO.

We are not the original provider of these sites, but only use them within the scope of the possibilities offered to us by the respective providers.

Therefore, as a precautionary measure we would like to point out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. A use can therefore have data protection risks for you, as the protection of your rights, e.g. to information, deletion, objection, etc., can be difficult and the processing in the social networks often takes place directly for advertising purposes or for the analysis of user behavior by the providers, without this being able to be influenced by us. If user profiles are created by the provider, cookies are often used or the user behavior is directly assigned to your own member profile of the social networks (if you are logged in here).

In accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 letter f DS-GVO, the described processing of personal data is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest and the legitimate interest of the respective provider, in order to be able to communicate with you in a contemporary manner or to inform you about our services. If you have to give your consent to data processing as a user with the respective provider, the legal basis refers to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO in conjunction with Art. 7 DS-GVO.

Since we do not have access to the data stocks of the providers, we point out that your rights (e.g. to information, correction, deletion, etc.) are best exercised directly with the respective provider. For further information on the processing of your data in social networks and the possibility to make use of your right of objection or revocation (so-called opt-out), we have listed below with the respective provider of social networks used by us:

13.3 Google Analytics Remarketing

We have integrated services from Google Remarketing on this website. Google Remarketing is a function of Google AdWords, which enables a company to display advertising to Internet users who have previously visited the company's website. The integration of Google Remarketing thus allows a company to create user-related advertising and thus to display interest-relevant advertisements to the Internet user.

Operator company of the services of Google Remarketing is the Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Purpose of Google Remarketing is the fade in of interest-relevant advertisement. Google Remarketing enables us to display advertisements via the Google advertising network or to have them displayed on other Internet sites, which are tailored to the individual needs and interests of Internet users.

Google Remarketing sets a cookie on your IT system of the person concerned. By setting the cookie, Google is able to recognize the visitor to our website if he or she subsequently calls up websites that are also members of the Google advertising network. With each call to a website on which the Google Remarketing service has been integrated, your Internet browser automatically identifies itself to Google. Within the scope of this technical procedure, Google receives knowledge of personal data, such as your IP address or surfing behavior, which Google uses, among other things, to display interest-relevant advertising.

By means of the cookie, personal information, for example the websites you visit, is stored. Each time you visit our website, personal data, including your IP address, is transferred to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.

You can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on your IT system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, you have the possibility to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do so, you must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from every Internet browser you use and make the desired settings there.

in particularThese processing operations are only carried out if you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO.

Further information and the applicable data protection regulations of Google can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

14. advertising

14.1 Google Ads (formerly AdWords)

Our site uses the features of Google Ads, and we hereby promote this site in Google search results, as well as on third-party sites. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). For this purpose, Google sets a cookie in the browser of your device, which automatically enables interest-based advertising using a pseudonymous cookie ID and based on the pages you visit.

These processing operations are only carried out if you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 letter a DS-GVO.

Any further data processing will only take place if you have agreed with Google that your Internet and app browsing history will be linked by Google to your Google Account and information from your Google Account will be used to personalize ads you view on the web. In this case, if you are logged in to Google while visiting our website, Google will use your information together with Google Analytics data to create and define target group lists for cross-device remarketing. For this purpose, Google temporarily links your personal data with Google Analytics data to form target groups.

You can permanently disable the setting of cookies for advertising preferences by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/

Alternatively, you can inform yourself about the setting of cookies and make settings for this at the Digital Advertising Alliance at the Internet address www.aboutads.info. Finally, you can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and can decide individually whether to accept them or to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally. If cookies are not accepted, the functionality of our website may be limited.

Further information and the privacy policy regarding advertising and Google can be found here: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/

14.2 Google AdSense

We have integrated Google AdSense on this website. Google AdSense is an online service, which enables the placement of advertising on third party sites. Google AdSense is based on an algorithm which selects the advertisements displayed on third party sites according to the content of the respective third party site. Google AdSense allows an interest-based targeting of the Internet user, which is implemented by generating individual user profiles.

The operating company of the Google AdSense component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The purpose of the Google AdSense component is the integration of advertisements on our website. Google AdSense sets a cookie on your IT system. By setting the cookie, Alphabet Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA, is enabled to analyze the use of our website. Each time you call up one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by us and on which a Google AdSense component has been integrated, the Internet browser on your IT system is automatically prompted by the respective Google AdSense component to transmit data to Alphabet Inc. for the purposes of online advertising and the billing of commissions. As part of this technical process, Alphabet Inc. obtains knowledge of personal data, such as your IP address, which is used by Alphabet Inc. among other things to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission invoicing.

You may refuse the use of cookies on our website at any time by selecting the appropriate settings on your internet browser, thereby permanently rejecting the use of cookies. Such a setting on the Internet browser used would also prevent Alphabet Inc. from setting a cookie on your IT system. In addition, a cookie already set by Alphabet Inc. can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

Google AdSense also uses so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in Internet pages to enable log file recording and log file analysis, which allows statistical evaluation. The embedded pixel-code enables Alphabet Inc. to recognize whether and when an Internet page was opened by your IT system and which links were clicked on by you. Counting pixels are used, among other things, to evaluate the flow of visitors to a website.

Through Google AdSense, personal data and information, which includes IP addresses and is necessary for the collection and billing of the ads displayed, is transferred to Alphabet Inc. in the United States of America. This personal data is stored and processed in the United States of America. Under certain circumstances, Alphabet Inc. may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.

Google AdSense is explained in more detail under this link https://www.google.de/intl/de/adsense/start/.

These processing operations are only carried out when express consent is granted in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO.

14.3 Google Ads with conversion tracking

We have integrated Google Ads on this website. Google Ads is an Internet advertising service that allows advertisers to display ads in Google's search engine results as well as in the Google advertising network. Google Ads allows an advertiser to specify pre-defined keywords that will display an ad in Google's search engine results only when the user uses the search engine to retrieve a keyword relevant search result. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed to topic-relevant Internet pages by means of an automatic algorithm and in accordance with the previously defined keywords.

The operating company of Google Ads services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The purpose of Google Ads is to promote our website by displaying advertisements relevant to our interests on the websites of third party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine and by displaying third-party advertisements on our website.

If you reach our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is stored on your IT system by Google. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used for your identification. If the cookie has not expired, the conversion cookie is used to determine whether certain sub-pages, for example the shopping cart from an online store system, have been accessed on our website. The conversion cookie enables both we and Google to track whether a user who has reached our website via an AdWords ad generated sales, i.e. whether he or she has completed or cancelled a purchase.

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are in turn used by us to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective ads and to optimize our ads for the future. Neither our company nor other Google Ads advertisers receive information from Google that could be used to identify you.

The conversion cookie is used to store personal information, such as the websites you visit. Whenever you visit our website, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection you are using, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.

You can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on your IT system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Ads can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, you have the opportunity to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do so, you must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from the Internet browser you are using and make the desired settings there.

These processing operations are only carried out if you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

15. plugins and other services

15.1 Google Maps

On our website we use Google Maps (API) from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Maps is a web service for the display of interactive (land) maps to visualize geographical information. By using this service, you can, for example, see our location and make it easier for you to find us.

Already when you call up those sub-pages in which the Google Maps map is integrated, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers in the USA and stored there. This happens regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in at Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish to be associated with your Google profile, you will need to log out of your Google account. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as user profiles and evaluates them. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right.

If you do not agree with the future transmission of your data to Google in the context of the use of Google Maps, there is also the possibility to completely deactivate the web service of Google Maps by switching off the application JavaScript in your browser. Google Maps and thus the map display on this website cannot then be used.

These processing operations will only take place if express consent is granted in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 letter a DS-GVO.

You can view Google's terms of use at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html. The additional terms of use for Google Maps can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de_US/help/terms_maps.html.

Detailed information on data protection in connection with the use of Google Maps can be found on the Google website ("Google Privacy Policy"): https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/

15.2 Google reCAPTCHA

On this website we also use the reCAPTCHA feature of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). This function is mainly used to distinguish whether an entry is made by a natural person or abusively by machine and automated processing. The service also includes the sending of the IP address and, if applicable, other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google.

These processing operations will only be carried out if the express consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO is granted.

Further information on Google reCAPTCHA and the Google privacy policy can be found at: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/

15.3 Google Tag Manager

This website uses Google Tag Manager, a cookie-less domain that does not collect personal information.

Through this tool, "website tags" (i.e. keywords that are embedded in HTML elements) can be implemented and managed through an interface. By using Google Tag Manager, we can automatically track which button, link or personalized image you have actively clicked on and can then record which contents of our website are of particular interest to you.

The tool also triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If you have disabled it at the domain or cookie level, it will remain disabled for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.

These processing operations are only carried out if you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 letter a DS-GVO.

15.4 Google WebFonts

Our website uses so-called web fonts for the uniform display of fonts, which are provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.

To do this, the browser you are using must connect to Google's servers. Through this, Google gets knowledge that our website was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our website.

These processing operations are only carried out if you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO.

Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in the Google privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

15.5 YouTube (videos)

We have integrated components from YouTube on this website. YouTube is an Internet video portal that allows video publishers to post video clips free of charge and other users to view, rate and comment on them free of charge. YouTube allows the publication of all types of videos, which is why complete film and television broadcasts, but also music videos, trailers or videos created by users themselves can be accessed via the Internet portal.

The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Each time you access any of the individual pages of this website operated by us and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, the Internet browser on your IT system is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a representation of the respective YouTube component from YouTube. More information about YouTube can be found at https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/. In the course of this technical process, YouTube and Google are informed which specific subpage of our website you are visiting.

If the person concerned is logged on to YouTube at the same time, YouTube will recognize which specific subpage of our website you are visiting by calling up a subpage containing a YouTube video. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to your YouTube account.

YouTube and Google receive information via the YouTube component about your visit to our website whenever you are logged in to YouTube at the same time you access our website, regardless of whether you click on a YouTube video or not. If you do not want this information to be sent to YouTube and Google, you can prevent it from being sent by logging out of your YouTube account before you visit our website.

These processing operations are only carried out if you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO.

The data protection regulations published by YouTube, which can be accessed at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/, provide information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.
