Retention period
Unless a more specific retention period is stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing the data no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for retaining your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will occur after these reasons cease to apply.

Notice regarding data transfer to the USA and other third countries
We use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that do not offer adequate data protection. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We point out that there is no guarantee of a data protection level comparable to that of the EU in these countries. For example, US companies are required to release personal data to security authorities without the possibility for you as the affected individual to take legal action against it. It cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence services) may process, evaluate, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke any consent already given at any time. The lawfulness of data processing that occurred up to the point of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. The legality of data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object against data collection in specific cases as well as against direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 PAR. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR REASONS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILES BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH A PROCESSING RELIES CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING IS FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 PAR. 1 GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE BEING PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 PAR. 2 GDPR).
Right of complaint to the competent supervisory authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, affected individuals have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, their workplace, or the location of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.
SSL or TLS encryption
This page uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address bar changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser's address bar.
When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Information, deletion and correction
You have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as, if applicable, the right to rectification or deletion of this data, in accordance with the applicable legal provisions. You can contact us at any time regarding this and any further questions about the topic of personal data.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense, or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data instead of deletion.
If you have lodged an objection under Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – aside from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of significant public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
Objection to advertising emails
The use of contact details published in the context of the imprint obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials is hereby opposed. The operators of the sites expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example through spam emails.
Data collection on this website
Cookies
Our websites use so-called "cookies." Cookies are small text files that do not cause any harm to your device. They are either temporarily stored for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Permanent cookies remain on your device until you delete them yourself or an automatic deletion occurs through your web browser.
In some cases, cookies from third parties may also be stored on your device when you enter our page (third-party cookies). These allow us or you to use certain services from the third party (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or displaying videos). Other cookies serve to evaluate user behavior or to display advertisements.
Cookies that are necessary for conducting electronic communication processes (necessary cookies) or for providing certain functions that you desire (functional cookies, e.g., for the shopping cart function) or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audience) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis is provided. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of their services. If consent to the storage of cookies has been requested, the storage of the relevant cookies occurs exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR); consent can be withdrawn at any time.
You can set your browser to notify you when cookies are being set or to only allow cookies on a case-by-case basis, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or generally, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are disabled, the functionality of this website may be limited.
As far as cookies are used by third parties or for analysis purposes, we will inform you about this in the context of this privacy policy and, if necessary, request your consent.
Contact form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, the information you provide in the inquiry form, including the contact details you specify there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent .
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, provided that your inquiry relates to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested .
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage ceases to exist (e.g., after processing your inquiry has been completed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
Request by email, phone or fax
If you contact us by e-mail, telephone, or fax, your inquiry, including all personal data resulting from it (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not share this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, provided that your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries directed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this was requested .
The data you send to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular statutory retention periods - remain unaffected.
Communication via WhatsApp
For communication with our customers and other third parties, we use the instant messaging service WhatsApp, among others. The provider is WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Communication is conducted via end-to-end encryption (peer-to-peer), which prevents WhatsApp or other third parties from gaining access to the content of the communication. However, WhatsApp does have access to metadata that arises during the communication process (e.g., sender, recipient, and time). We further point out that WhatsApp, according to its own statement, shares personal data of its users with its parent company Facebook, which is based in the USA. For more details on data processing, please refer to WhatsApp's privacy policy here.
The use of WhatsApp is based on our legitimate interest in quick and effective communication with customers, interested parties, and other business and contractual partners (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). If corresponding consent has been requested, the data processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of consent; this can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.
The communication content exchanged between us and on WhatsApp remains with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage ceases to exist (e.g., after we have completed processing your request). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
We use WhatsApp in the variant 'WhatsApp Business'.
The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. You can find details here.
Analysis tools and advertising
Google Tag Manager
We use Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
The Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows us to integrate tracking or statistics tools and other technologies on our website. The Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, store cookies, or conduct independent analyses. It merely serves to manage and distribute the tools integrated through it. However, the Google Tag Manager does collect your IP address, which may also be transferred to Google's parent company in the United States.
The use of Google Tag Manager is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in quickly and easily integrating and managing various tools on their website. If consent has been requested, processing is carried out solely on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.
Google Analytics
This website uses features of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyze the behavior of website visitors. In this context, the website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, time spent, operating systems used, and the origin of the user. This data may be compiled by Google into a profile that is associated with the respective user or their device.
Furthermore, we can record your mouse and scroll movements and clicks using Google Analytics. Additionally, Google Analytics employs various modeling approaches to enhance the collected datasets and utilizes machine learning technologies for data analysis.
Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both their web offerings and their advertising. If consent has been requested (e.g., consent for the storage of cookies), the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.
The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. You can find details here.
IP anonymization
We have activated the IP anonymization feature on this website. This means that your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the agreement on the European Economic Area before it is transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and then truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities, and to provide other services related to website usage and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted from your browser within Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.
Browser Plugin
You can prevent the collection and processing of your data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
More information about how user data is handled in Google Analytics can be found in the Google Privacy Policy.
Order processing
We have concluded a contract with Google for data processing and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.
Demographic characteristics in Google Analytics
This website uses the "demographic features" feature of Google Analytics to show appropriate advertisements to website visitors within the Google advertising network.
As a result, reports can be generated that include statements about the age, gender, and interests of the page visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising by Google as well as visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be attributed to any specific person. You can disable this feature at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as outlined in the "Objection to Data Collection" section.
Storage duration
Data stored by Google at the user and event level, linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g., User ID), or advertising IDs (e.g., DoubleClick cookies, Android advertising ID) will be anonymized or deleted after 2 months. You can find more details here.
Google Ads
The website operator uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising program of Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Ads allows us to display advertisements in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when the user enters certain search terms in Google (keyword targeting). Furthermore, targeted advertisements can be displayed based on the user data available at Google (e.g., location data and interests) (audience targeting). We, as the website operator, can quantitatively evaluate this data by analyzing which search terms led to the display of our advertisements and how many ads led to corresponding clicks.
The use of Google Ads is based on Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the most effective marketing of its services and products.
The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. You can find details here and here.
This website uses Google AdSense, a service for incorporating advertisements. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
We use Google AdSense in the “non-personalized” mode. Unlike the personalized mode, the advertisements are therefore not based on your previous user behavior and no user profile is created for you. Instead, so-called “context information” is used in selecting the ads. The selected ads are then directed, for example, based on your location, the content of the website you are on, or your current search terms. More about the differences between personalized and non-personalized targeting with Google AdSense can be found here.
Please note that even with the use of Google AdSense in the non-personalized mode, cookies or comparable recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting) may be used. According to Google, these are used to combat fraud and abuse.
The use of AdSense is based on Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the most effective marketing of its website. If appropriate consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.
The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. You can find details here.
You can independently adjust your ad settings in your user account. To do this, click on the following link and log in: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.
For more information about Google's advertising technologies, you can find here and here.
Google Remarketing
This website uses the features of Google Analytics Remarketing. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Remarketing analyzes your user behavior on our website (e.g., clicks on specific products) to categorize you into certain advertising target groups and subsequently display relevant web messages to you when you visit other online offerings (Remarketing or Retargeting).
Furthermore, the advertising target groups created with Google Remarketing can be linked with Google's cross-device functionalities. In this way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages that have been tailored to you based on your previous usage and surfing behavior on one device (e.g., mobile) can also be shown to you on another of your devices (e.g., tablet or PC).
If you have a Google Account, you can object to personalized advertising here.
The use of Google Remarketing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the most effective marketing of his products. If consent has been requested, processing will take place solely on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.
Further information and the data protection regulations can be found in the Google Privacy Policy.
Target group formation with customer matching
For audience targeting, we use, among other things, the customer matching feature of Google Remarketing. In this process, we transfer certain customer data (e.g., email addresses) from our customer lists to Google. If the respective customers are Google users and logged into their Google accounts, they will see relevant advertising messages within the Google network (e.g., on YouTube, Gmail, or in the search engine).
Facebook Pixel
This website uses visitor action pixels from Facebook for conversion measurement. The provider of this service is Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. However, according to Facebook, the collected data is also transmitted to the USA and other third countries.
This allows for the behavior of page visitors to be tracked after they were redirected to the provider's website by clicking on a Facebook advertisement. This enables the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and future advertising measures to be optimized .
The data collected are anonymized for us as the operators of this website; we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, allowing a connection to the respective user profile to be possible, and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Facebook Data Use Policy. This allows Facebook to serve ads on Facebook's sites as well as outside of Facebook. This use of the data cannot be influenced by us as the site operator.
The use of Facebook Pixel is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures, including social media. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g., consent to store cookies), processing occurs exclusively based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time .
The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. You can find details here and here.
To the extent that personal data is collected on our website using the tool described here and forwarded to Facebook, we and Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland are jointly responsible for this data processing (Art. 26 GDPR). The joint responsibility is limited solely to the collection of data and its transfer to Facebook. The processing that occurs after forwarding by Facebook is not part of the joint responsibility. The obligations that we share have been documented in an agreement on joint processing. The wording of the agreement can be found here. According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing the data protection information when using the Facebook tool and for the data protection-compliant implementation of the tool on our website. Facebook is responsible for the data security of Facebook products. Rights of the affected parties (e.g., requests for information) regarding the data processed by Facebook can be asserted directly with Facebook. If you assert the rights of affected parties with us, we are obliged to forward these to Facebook.
You can find further information on protecting your privacy in Facebook's privacy policy: https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
You can also deactivate the remarketing feature "Custom Audiences" in the settings for advertisements here. To do this, you must be logged into Facebook .
If you do not have a Facebook account, you can deactivate usage-based advertising from Facebook on the website of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance: Click here.
LinkedIn Insight Tag
This website uses the Insight Tag from LinkedIn. The provider of this service is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Data processing by LinkedIn Insight Tag
With the help of the LinkedIn Insight Tag, we receive information about the visitors to our website. If a website visitor is registered on LinkedIn, we can analyze various professional details (e.g., career level, company size, country, location, industry, and job title) of our website visitors and thus better tailor our site to the respective target groups. Furthermore, we can use LinkedIn Insight Tags to measure whether visitors to our websites make a purchase or take another action (conversion tracking). Conversion tracking can also be cross-device (e.g., from PC to tablet). The LinkedIn Insight Tag also offers a retargeting function, which allows us to show targeted ads to visitors of our website outside of the site, whereby LinkedIn states that no identification of the advertising recipient takes place.
LinkedIn itself also collects so-called log files (URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties, and time of access). The IP addresses are shortened or (if they are used to reach LinkedIn members across devices) hashed (pseudonymized). The direct identifiers of LinkedIn members are deleted by LinkedIn after seven days. The remaining pseudonymized data is then deleted within 180 days.
The data collected by LinkedIn cannot be assigned by us as website operators to specific individuals. LinkedIn will store the collected personal data of website visitors on its servers in the USA and use it as part of its own advertising measures. For details, please refer here to LinkedIn's privacy policy.
Legal basis
The use of LinkedIn Insight is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures including social media. If corresponding consent has been requested (e.g., consent for the storage of cookies), the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.
The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. You can find details here and here.
Objection to the use of LinkedIn Insight Tag
The analysis of user behavior as well as targeted advertising by LinkedIn here.
Furthermore, LinkedIn members can control the use of their personal data for advertising purposes in their account settings. To avoid linking the data collected on our website by LinkedIn with your LinkedIn account, you must log out of your LinkedIn account before visiting our website.
Conclusion of a contract for order processing
We have concluded a contract for data processing with LinkedIn.
Newsletter
Newsletter data
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we need an email address from you, as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data will be collected or only on a voluntary basis. We will use this data solely for the dispatch of the requested information and will not pass it on to third parties .
The processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form is carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke the consent you have given for the storage of data, the email address, and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, such as via the “Unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The lawfulness of the data processing that has already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation .
The data you provided for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter or the purpose ceases to exist, and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after the newsletter is cancelled or the purpose has ceased. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our discretion as part of our legitimate interest under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
After you have unsubscribed from the newsletter distribution list, your email address will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider possibly in a blacklist, to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements for sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest .
