General information
The following information provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit our website. Personal data is any data that can be used to identify you personally. For detailed information on the subject of data protection, please refer to our privacy policy listed below this text.
Data collection on our website
Who is responsible for the data collection on this website?
Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find their contact details in the imprint of this website.
How do we collect your data?
Your data is collected partly by you providing it to us. This may, for example, be data that you enter into a contact form.
Other data is collected automatically by our IT systems when you visit the website. These are primarily technical data (e.g. internet browser, operating system, or time of page access). The collection of this data takes place automatically as soon as you enter our website.
What do we use your data for?
Some of the data is collected to ensure the website is provided error-free. Other data may be used to analyse your user behaviour.
What rights do you have regarding your data?
You have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about the origin, recipient, and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request the correction, blocking, or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint for this and other questions on the subject of data protection. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.
You also have the right, under certain circumstances, to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. Details can be found in the privacy policy under “Right to restriction of processing”.
Analysis tools and third-party tools
When you visit our website, your surfing behaviour may be analysed statistically. This is done primarily with cookies and so-called analysis programs. The analysis of your surfing behaviour is usually anonymous; the surfing behaviour cannot be traced back to you.
You can object to this analysis or prevent it by not using certain tools. You will find detailed information about these tools and your options for objection in the following privacy policy.
2. General information and mandatory information
Data protection
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.
Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many data-processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke a consent you have already given at any time. An informal email message to us is sufficient for this purpose. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right at any time to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which a processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data concerned, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR).
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, the data subjects have a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
SSL / TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise 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.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Information, blocking, deletion, and correction
Within the framework of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing and, where applicable, a right to correction, blocking, or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint for this and other questions on the subject of personal data.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data but you need it for the establishment, defence, or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
- If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been established whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may only — apart from being stored — be processed with your consent, or for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or on grounds of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
Objection to promotional emails
The use of contact data published as part of the imprint obligation for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information material is hereby objected to. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of promotional information, for example by spam email.
3. Data collection on our website
Cookies
Some of the internet pages use so-called cookies. Cookies do no harm to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser on your next visit.
You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. If cookies are disabled, the functionality of this website may be limited.
Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions that you have requested (e.g. cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g. cookies for the analysis of your surfing behaviour) are stored, these are treated separately in this privacy policy. You can find more information about the cookies on the “Cookie Notice” page.
Server log files
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
- Browser type and browser version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Host name of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request
- IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources.
This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website — to achieve this the server log files must be recorded.
Contact form
If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored with us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and for the case of follow-up questions. We do not pass this data on without your consent.
The processing of the data entered into the contact form is therefore exclusively based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal email message to us is sufficient for this. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
The storage of the comments is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke any consent you have given at any time. An informal email message to us is sufficient for this. The legality of data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

Google+ plugin
The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Collection and sharing of information: Using the Google+ button, you can publish information worldwide. Via the Google+ button you and other users receive personalised content from Google and our partners. Google stores both the information that you have given +1 for a piece of content and information about the page you were viewing when you clicked +1. Your +1s can be displayed as hints together with your profile name and photo in Google services, such as in search results or in your Google profile, or in other places on websites and ads on the internet.
Google records information about your +1 activities in order to improve the Google services for you and others. To be able to use the Google+ button, you need a globally visible, public Google profile, which must at least contain the name selected for the profile. This name is used in all Google services. In some cases, this name may also replace another name you have used when sharing content via your Google account. The identity of your Google profile may be shown to users who know your email address or have other identifying information about you.
Use of the collected information: In addition to the uses explained above, the information you provide is used in accordance with the applicable Google privacy provisions. Google may publish aggregate statistics about users’ +1 activities or share them with users and partners, such as publishers, advertisers, or affiliated websites.
The use of the Google+ plugin is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the widest possible visibility on social media.

Newsletter data
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. Further data is not collected or is only collected on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

You can revoke the consent given to store the data, the email address, and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legality of data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you deposit with us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter, and will be deleted after the newsletter is cancelled. Data that has been stored with us for other purposes remains unaffected.
6. Plugins and tools
YouTube with extended data protection
Our website uses plugins from the YouTube website. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
We use YouTube in extended data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode means that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, the sharing of data with YouTube partners is not necessarily excluded by the extended data protection mode. Thus YouTube — regardless of whether you watch a video — establishes a connection with the Google DoubleClick network.
As soon as you start a YouTube video on our website, a connection is established to YouTube’s servers. The YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behaviour directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
In addition, YouTube can store various cookies on your device after starting a video. With the help of these cookies, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to our website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent attempts at fraud. The cookies remain on your device until you delete them.
If applicable, further data-processing operations may be triggered after starting a YouTube video, over which we have no influence.
The use of YouTube is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
You will find more information about data protection at YouTube in their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.
Google Web Fonts
This site uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of font types. The Google Fonts are installed locally. No connection to Google servers takes place in the process.
Google Maps
This site uses the Google Maps map service via an API. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transmission.
The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers and to make the places we have indicated on the website easy to find. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
You can find more information on the handling of user data in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.
Google reCAPTCHA
We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA”) on our websites. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
reCAPTCHA is used to check whether the data entry on our websites (e.g. in a contact form) is being made by a human being or by an automated program. To do this, reCAPTCHA analyses the behaviour of the website visitor on the basis of various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, time spent by the website visitor on the website, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.
The reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that an analysis is taking place.
Data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offerings from abusive automated spying and from SPAM.
You can find more information about Google reCAPTCHA and the Google privacy policy at the following links: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en and https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/android.html.
