Security and protection of your personal data

We consider it our foremost task to preserve the confidentiality personal data you provide and protect this from unauthorised access. Therefore we apply the greatest diligence with the most modern security standards to assure the maximum protection of your personal data.

SSL encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or queries that you send to us as site operator, this site uses SSL encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection when there is a change in the address line of the browser from “http://” to “https://” and the lock symbol appears in the browser line.

When the SSL encryption is activated, third parties cannot read data that you transmit to us.

Information about the collection of personal data. In the following we inform you about the collection of personal data when our website is used. Personal data is e.g. name, address, e-mail addresses, and user behaviour. When contact is made with us via e-mail or using a contact form we store the data that you transmit (your e-mail address, if applicable, your name and your telephone number) in order to answer your questions. We delete the data collected in this connection after its storage is no longer necessary or the processing is restricted in the event statutory retention duties apply.

Collection of personal data in connection with the use of our website

In the case of mere informational use of the website, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise transmit information, we only collect the personal information that your browser transmits to our server. If you want to view our website, we collect the following data in order to display to you our website and assure the stability and security (Article 6 subs. 1 f) GDPR constitutes the legal basis for the processing):
IP address, Date and time of access, Time zone difference from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), Content of access (specific page), Access status/HTTP status code, respective data volume transmitted, Website, from which the user’s access originated, browser, operating system and its interface, language and version of browser software.

Use of cookies

In addition to the aforementioned data, cookies are stored on your computer when you use our website. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your hard drive and assigned to the browser you use through which information flows to the place that sets the cookie. Cookies cannot execute any programs or transfer viruses to your computers. They serve to make the Internet offer overall more user-friendly and effective.

This website uses the following types of cookies, the scope and function of which are explained as follows:

Transient cookies are erased automatically when you close the browser. They store a so-called session ID with which various queries by your browser can be assigned to a common session. Thus your computer can be recognised again if you return to our website. The session cookies are deleted if you logout or close the browser.

Persistent cookies are erased automatically after a prescribed duration that can vary depending on the cookie. You can delete the cookies in the security settings of your browser at any time.

You can configure your browser settings according to your preferences and e.g. reject the acceptance of third party cookies or all cookies. So-called “third party cookies” are cookies set by a third party and thus not by the website where one actually is. We call attention to the fact that by deactivating cookies you might not be able to use all functions of this website.

Other functions and offers of our website

Along with purely informational use, we offer various services that you can use if interested. For this purpose it is usually necessary to provide additional personal data that we use to render the respective service and for which the foregoing principles of data processing apply. In part we use external service providers for processing your data. These are carefully selected and engaged, bound by our instructions and regularly controlled.
Furthermore we can forward your personal data to third parties if action participation, contests, contractual agreements or similar services are offered by us or jointly with partners. You receive more information about this when you enter your personal data or below in the description of the offer.
To the extent that our service providers or partners are domiciled in states outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we inform you as to the consequences of this circumstance in the description of the offer.

Use of Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “Cookies”, text files stored on your computer that permit analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However in the case of activation of IP address anonymization, your IP address will first be shortened by Google within the Member States of the European Union or in other treaty states of the Convention of the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the website operators, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports about the website activities and to render other services in connection with website use and Internet use to the website operator.

The IP address transmitted from your browser in the context of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by mans of an appropriate setting in your browser software; however we call your attention to the fact that in this case you might not be able to use completely all functions of this website. Moreover you can prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and the data pertaining to your use of the website (incl. your IP address) and its transmission to Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

This website uses Google Analytics with the function “_anonymizeIp()”. Thus IP addresses are processed in shortened form. A personal trace to the data subject can thus be ruled out. To the extent the personal data collected about you contains a personal relationship this is immediately excluded and the personal data is thus immediately erased.

We use Google Analytics to analyse the use of our website and to regularly improve it. With the statistics obtained we can improve our offer and design it to be more interesting to you as user. For the exceptional cases that personal data is transmitted in the USA, Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Convention and thus offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law, www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 subs. 1 clause. 1 f) DSGVO.
