Collection and Use of Non-Personal Information

The website uses cookies.

A "cookie" is a small text file containing a string of alphanumeric characters. Two types of cookies may be used on the website: a persistent cookie and a session cookie. A persistent cookie is stored by your web browser in the cookie folder of your computer. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser. Persistent cookies may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the site. A session cookie is temporary and disappears after you close your browser. The Site may also use web beacons (also called "clear GIFs" or "pixel tags"). Web beacons are small strings of code included in a web page.

If you arrived at this Site by clicking on a banner advertisement for one of our products or services, a session cookie may be used. This cookie will contain either an identification number for the ad you clicked on or an identification number for the site you were visiting when you clicked on the banner ad. If you choose to receive more information from us about our products and services, the personal information you provide will be linked to the information in the session cookie and can measure the effectiveness of our advertising. We will not use this "linking" to target future advertisements to you or to send information about our future goods and services. Because it is a session cookie, it disappears when you close your browser. If you return to our Site from one of our ads, you will appear as a new visitor until you provide us with additional personal information.

The website may use persistent cookies, web beacons, and information collected in our log files (such as internet protocol addresses, referring URLs, etc.) about your activities on this site to better understand how the website is used, troubleshoot technical problems, and improve your experience while visiting this site. Information from website analytics or website usage cookies is not combined with information from other DoubleClick cookies. The information from the persistent website analytics cookie is also not combined with information collected in our log files. If you give us your email address on this site, these website analytics cookies may be linked to your email address to send you emails. To opt out of the website analytics cookie that may be placed on the website, click below.

This involves our ad server placing or reading a unique ad-associated cookie on your computer and using non-personally identifiable information about your browser and your activities on this site to deliver ads.

On this and other sites, ad-related cookies are persistent cookies, and the information associated with them is not linked to the information contained in the persistent website analytics cookie.

This site is analyzed using Google Analytics.

Personal data (hereinafter referred to as "data") is processed by us only to the extent necessary and for the purpose of providing a functional and user-friendly website, including its content and the services offered there.

According to Article 4(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as "GDPR"), "processing" means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or linking, restriction, erasure, or destruction.

With the following privacy policy, we inform you in particular about the type, scope, purpose, duration, and legal basis of the processing of personal data, insofar as we decide, either alone or jointly with others, on the purposes and means of processing. Furthermore, we inform you below about the third-party components we use for optimization purposes and to improve the quality of use, insofar as these third parties process data under their own responsibility.

Our privacy policy is structured as follows:

I. Information about us as the controller

II. Rights of users and data subjects

III. Information on data processing

II. Rights of Users and Data Subjects

With regard to the data processing described in more detail below, users and data subjects have the right:

to confirmation as to whether data concerning them is being processed, to information about the data being processed, to further information about the data processing, and to copies of the data (see also Art. 15 GDPR);

to rectification or completion of inaccurate or incomplete data (see also Art. 16 GDPR);

to immediate erasure of data concerning them (see also Art. 17 GDPR), or, alternatively, if further processing is required pursuant to Art. 17 (3) GDPR, to restriction of processing in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR;

to receipt of the data concerning them and provided by them and to transmission of this data to other providers/controllers (see also Art. 20 GDPR);

to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority if they believe that the data concerning them is being processed by the provider in violation of data protection regulations (see also Art. 77 GDPR).

Furthermore, the provider is obligated to inform all recipients to whom data has been disclosed by the provider of any rectification or erasure of data or restriction of processing pursuant to Articles 16, 17 (1), and 18 GDPR. However, this obligation does not apply if such notification is impossible or involves disproportionate effort. Notwithstanding this, the user has a right to information about these recipients.

Likewise, according to Art. 21 GDPR, users and data subjects have the right to object to the future processing of their data, provided that the data is processed by the provider in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. In particular, an objection to data processing for the purposes of direct marketing is permissible.

III. Information on data processing

Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies, there are no statutory retention periods that prevent the deletion of the data, and no other information regarding individual processing procedures is provided below.

Server Data

For technical reasons, particularly to ensure a secure and stable website, data is transmitted to us or our web space provider via your internet browser. These so-called server log files record, among other things, the type and version of your internet browser, the operating system, the website from which you accessed our website (referrer URL), the website(s) of our website that you visit, the date and time of each access, and the IP address of the internet connection from which you access our website.

The data collected in this way is temporarily stored, but not together with other data about you.

This storage is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality, and security of our website.

The data will be deleted after seven days at the latest, unless further retention is required for evidentiary purposes. Otherwise, the data is exempt from deletion in whole or in part until the incident has been finally resolved.

a) Session Cookies

We use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are stored on your device by the internet browser you use. These cookies process certain information about you, such as your browser or location data or your IP address, to an individual extent.

This processing makes our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure, as it enables, for example, the display of our website in different languages or the provision of a shopping cart function.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, provided that these cookies process data for the initiation or execution of a contract.

If the processing does not serve the purpose of initiating or executing a contract, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis in this case is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

These session cookies are deleted when you close your internet browser.

b) Third-party cookies

Our website may also use cookies from partner companies with whom we cooperate for the purposes of advertising, analysis, or the functionality of our website.

Please see the following information for details, in particular regarding the purposes and legal basis for processing such third-party cookies.

c) Removal option

You can prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by adjusting your internet browser settings. You can also delete cookies that have already been saved at any time. However, the steps and measures required for this depend on the specific internet browser you use. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your Internet browser, or contact the manufacturer or support team. However, with so-called Flash cookies, processing cannot be prevented via the browser settings. Instead, you must change the settings of your Flash player. The steps and measures required for this depend on the specific Flash player you are using. If you have any questions, please also use the help function or documentation of your Flash player, or contact the manufacturer or support team.

If you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, this may result in not all functions of our website being fully available.

Vertragsabwicklung ist ein deutscher Begriff. Es wäre besser, den englischen Begriff zu verwenden, der in der Datenschutzgrundverordnung (DSGVO) gebräuchlich ist. In diesem Fall ist das 'Performance of a contract'.

Hier ist die Übersetzung deines Textes ins Englische:

Performance of a contract

The data you transmit to us for the purpose of using our goods and/or services are processed by us for the purpose of contract performance and are required for this purpose. The conclusion and performance of the contract are not possible without the provision of your data.

The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR.

We will delete the data upon complete performance of the contract, but must comply with tax and commercial retention periods.

As part of the contract performance, we will pass on your data to the transport company commissioned with the delivery of the goods or to the financial service provider, insofar as the transfer is necessary for the delivery of the goods or for payment purposes.

The legal basis for the transfer of the data is then Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR.

Customer account / Registration function

If you create a customer account with us via our website, we will collect and store the data you enter during registration (e.g., your name, address or e-mail address) exclusively for pre-contractual services, for the fulfillment of the contract or for the purpose of customer care (e.g., to provide you with an overview of your previous orders with us or to be able to offer you the so-called notepad function). At the same time, we will then store the IP address and the date and time of your registration. This data will not be passed on to third parties.

In the course of the further registration process, your consent to this processing will be obtained and reference will be made to this privacy policy. The data collected by us in this process will be used exclusively for the provision of the customer account.

Insofar as you consent to this processing, Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis for the processing.

If the opening of the customer account also serves pre-contractual measures or the fulfillment of the contract, the legal basis for this processing is also Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR.

You can revoke the consent you have given us to open and maintain the customer account at any time with effect for the future in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR. All you have to do is inform us of your revocation.

The data collected in this respect will be deleted as soon as the processing is no longer necessary. However, we must comply with tax and commercial law retention periods.

Credit check and scoring

Insofar as we offer you the basic option of payment by invoice within the scope of our range of goods or services and you make use of this, we reserve the right to obtain a credit report from a credit agency (such as Creditreform, Schufa, Bürgel or infoscore) on the basis of mathematical-statistical procedures. For this purpose, your data, insofar as it is relevant to the contract, such as your name and address, will be forwarded to the credit agency. We use the subsequent information on the statistical probability of a payment default for our decision whether to offer you payment by invoice.

The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in the payment security of the claim in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.

Newsletter

If you register for our free newsletter, the data requested for this purpose, i.e., your e-mail address and - optionally - your name and address, will be transmitted to us. At the same time, we store the IP address of the Internet connection from which you access our website as well as the date and time of your registration. In the course of the further registration process, we will obtain your consent to the sending of the newsletter, describe the content in detail and refer to this privacy policy. The data collected in this process will be used exclusively for sending the newsletter - they will therefore not be passed on to third parties.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR.

You can revoke your consent to the sending of the newsletter at any time with effect for the future in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR. All you have to do is inform us of your revocation or click on the unsubscribe link contained in every newsletter.

Contact inquiries / Contact options

If you contact us via a contact form or e-mail, the data you provide will be used to process your inquiry. The provision of the data is necessary to process and answer your inquiry - without their provision, we cannot answer your inquiry or can only do so to a limited extent.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR.

Your data will be deleted once your inquiry has been answered conclusively and there are no legal retention obligations to prevent deletion, as would be the case, for example, with any subsequent contract processing.

User contributions, comments, and reviews

We offer you the opportunity to publish questions, answers, opinions, or reviews on our websites, hereinafter referred to as "contributions." If you make use of this offer, we will process and publish your contribution, the date and time of submission, and any pseudonym you may have used.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR. All you have to do is inform us of your revocation.

In addition, we also process your IP and email address. The IP address is processed because we have a legitimate interest in initiating or supporting further action if your post infringes the rights of third parties and/or is otherwise unlawful.

The legal basis in this case is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in any necessary legal defense.

Subscription to Posts

If you publish posts on our website, we also offer you the option of subscribing to any subsequent posts from third parties. In order to inform you about these subsequent posts by email, we process your email address.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent to this subscription at any time with future effect in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR. To do so, you simply need to notify us of your revocation or click the unsubscribe link contained in the respective email.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics on our website. This is a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as "Google."

Through certification under the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework (“EU-US Privacy Shield”)

https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active

Google guarantees that EU data protection regulations are also adhered to when processing data in the USA.

The Google Analytics service is used to analyze the usage behavior of our website. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our website.

Usage and user-related information, such as IP address, location, time, or frequency of visits to our website, is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, we use Google Analytics with the so-called anonymization function. This function shortens the IP address within the EU or EEA.

The data collected in this way is in turn used by Google to provide us with an evaluation of visits to our website and the user activities there. This data may also be used to provide other services related to the use of our website and the use of the internet.

Google states that it will not link your IP address to other data. In addition, Google maintains

https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners

further information on data protection law is available for you, including options for preventing data usage.

Google also offers a so-called deactivation add-on with further information at

https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

. This add-on can be installed with common internet browsers and offers you further control over the data Google collects when you visit our website. The add-on tells the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js) that information about your visit to our website should not be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analytics services. Whether and which other web analytics services we use can also be found in this privacy policy.

"Google+" Social Plug-in

We use the plug-in of the social network Google+ ("Google Plus") on our website. Google+ is an internet service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as "Google."

https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active

Google guarantees that EU data protection regulations are also adhered to when processing data in the USA.

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website.

Google provides further information about the possible plug-ins and their respective functions at

https://developers.google.com/+/web/

for you.

If the plug-in is installed on one of the pages of our website that you visit, your internet browser will download a representation of the plug-in from Google's servers in the USA. For technical reasons, Google needs to process your IP address. In addition, the date and time of your visit to our website will also be recorded.

If you are logged in to Google while visiting one of our websites containing the plug-in, the information collected by the plug-in about your specific visit will be recognized by Google. Google may assign the information collected in this way to your personal user account there. For example, if you use the Google "Share" button, this information will be stored in your Google user account and possibly published via the Google platform. If you want to prevent this, you must either log out of Google before visiting our website or make the appropriate settings in your Google account.

Google guarantees that EU data protection regulations are also adhered to when processing data in the USA.

To enable the display of certain fonts on our website, a connection to the Google server in the USA is established when you visit our website.

If you access the Google Maps component integrated into our website, Google will store a cookie on your device via your internet browser. In order to display our location and create directions, your user settings and data will be processed. We cannot rule out the possibility that Google may use servers in the USA.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in optimizing the functionality of our website.

Through the connection to Google established in this way, Google can determine which website sent your request and to which IP address the directions should be sent.

If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the installation of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your internet browser. Details can be found above under the heading "Cookies."

Matomo (formerly: PIWIK)

We use Matomo (formerly: "PIWIK") on our website. This is open-source software that allows us to analyze the use of our website. Your IP address, the website(s) you visit, the website from which you accessed our website (referrer URL), your length of stay on our website, and the frequency of visits to one of our websites are processed.

To collect this data, Matomo stores a cookie on your device via your internet browser. This cookie is valid for one week.

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis and optimization of our website.

However, we use Matomo with the anonymization function "Automatically Anonymize Visitor IPs." This anonymization function shortens your IP address by two bytes, making it impossible to assign it to you or the internet connection you use.

If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the storage of cookies by adjusting your internet browser settings. Further information can be found above under "Cookies."

You also have the option of stopping the analysis of your usage behavior by means of a so-called opt-out. By clicking on the link

Web beacon of the Verwertungsgesellschaft WORT (VG WORT)

On our website, we use the so-called web beacon of VG WORT, provided by INFOnline GmbH, Forum Bonn Nord, Brühler Str. 9, 53119 Bonn, in the form of the so-called SZM (Scalable Central Measurement Method).

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the optimization and economic operation of our website, as well as in respecting copyright interests regarding the content of our website.

The tracking pixel is a graphic placed on our website that determines statistical key figures. This makes it possible to calculate the likelihood of copying texts based on the number of visits and the specific content of our website. This data is collected anonymously. In order to record the number of visits and your recurring visits, either a so-called session cookie is stored on your device by your internet browser or a signature created from various information from your internet browser (e.g., user agent, screen resolution, etc.) is used. However, your IP address is only processed in an anonymized form. You cannot be identified as an individual user at any time.

If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the storage of cookies by adjusting the settings in your internet browser. Further information on this can be found above under "Cookies." You also have the option of stopping the SZM measurement by means of a so-called opt-out. By clicking on the link

We use YouTube in conjunction with the "Enhanced Privacy Mode" function to display videos for you. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website. According to YouTube, the "Enhanced Privacy Mode" function ensures that the data described below is only transmitted to the YouTube server when you actually start a video.

Without this "Extended Data Protection," a connection to the YouTube server in the USA will be established as soon as you visit one of our websites that contains an embedded YouTube video.

This connection is necessary to display the respective video on our website via your internet browser.
