You can recognize an encrypted connection by the “https://” prefix and the padlock icon in your browser address bar.
2) Data Collection When Visiting Our Website
When you use our website for informational purposes only—that is, if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information—we collect only the data that your browser transmits to our server (so-called “server log files”). When you visit our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display the website to you:
- The page you visited
- Date and time of access
- Amount of data transmitted in bytes
- Source/referrer from which you accessed the page
- Browser used
- Operating system used
- IP address used (if applicable: in anonymized form)
Processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR based on our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data is not disclosed or used for any other purpose. However, we reserve the right to review the server log files retrospectively should there be concrete indications of unlawful use.
3) Cookies
To make your visit to our website more enjoyable and to enable the use of certain features, we use so-called cookies on various pages. These are small text files that are stored on your device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted at the end of the browser session, i.e., when you close your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your device and allow us or our partner companies (third-party cookies) to recognize your browser the next time you visit (persistent cookies). When cookies are set, they collect and process certain user information—such as browser and location data, as well as IP addresses—to varying degrees. Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a predetermined period, which may vary depending on the cookie.
In some cases, cookies are used to simplify the ordering process by saving settings (e.g., remembering the contents of a virtual shopping cart for a later visit to the website). If personal data is also processed by individual cookies we have implemented, such processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6( 1(b) of the GDPR, either for the performance of a contract or pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in ensuring the best possible functionality of the website and a user-friendly and effective experience for visitors.
We may collaborate with advertising partners who help us make our website more interesting for you. For this purpose, cookies from partner companies (third-party cookies) may also be stored on your hard drive when you visit our website. If we collaborate with the aforementioned advertising partners, you will be informed individually and separately about the use of such cookies and the scope of the information collected in each case in the following paragraphs.
Please note that you can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set, allowing you to decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept them, or to block cookies in specific cases or generally. Each browser manages cookie settings differently. This is described in each browser’s Help menu, which explains how you can change your cookie settings.

This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your inquiry or for establishing contact and the associated technical administration.

If your contact is aimed at entering into a contract, an additional legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. Your data will be deleted once your inquiry has been fully processed; this is the case when it is evident from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively resolved and provided that no statutory retention obligations preclude this.

We reserve the right to delete comments if they are reported as unlawful by third parties.
7) Use of Your Data for Direct Marketing
7.1 Subscription to Our Email Newsletter
If you subscribe to our email newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers. The only required information for receiving the newsletter is your email address. Providing any additional data is voluntary and is used to address you personally. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to send the newsletter. This means that we will not send you an email newsletter until you have expressly confirmed that you consent to receiving it. We will then send you a confirmation email asking you to click on a link to confirm that you wish to receive future newsletters.
By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent to use your personal data in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. When you subscribe to the newsletter, we store your IP address as provided by your Internet service provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of your subscription, so that we can trace any potential misuse of your email address at a later date. The data we collect when you subscribe to the newsletter is used exclusively for the purpose of sending you promotional communications via the newsletter. You may unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by clicking the link provided for that purpose in the newsletter or by sending a message to the data controller named at the beginning of this notice. Once you have unsubscribed, your email address will be immediately deleted from our newsletter distribution list, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use your data for other purposes that are permitted by law and about which we inform you in this statement.
7.2 Sending the Email Newsletter to Existing Customers
If you have provided us with your email address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to periodically send you offers via email for goods or services from our product range that are similar to those you have already purchased. For this purpose, we are not required to obtain separate consent from you pursuant to Section 7(3) of the German Unfair Competition Act (UWG). Data processing in this regard is based solely on our legitimate interest in personalized direct marketing pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If you initially objected to the use of your email address for this purpose, we will not send you any emails. You have the right to object to the use of your email address for the aforementioned advertising purpose at any time, with future effect, by notifying the data controller named at the beginning of this notice. You will only incur transmission costs in accordance with standard rates. Upon receipt of your objection, the use of your email address for advertising purposes will be discontinued immediately.

- Right of access pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR: In particular, you have the right to obtain information about your personal data processed by us, the purposes of processing, the categories of personal data processed, the recipients or categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned retention period or the criteria for determining the retention period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection to processing, to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, the origin of your data if it was not collected from you by us, the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, and, where applicable, meaningful information about the logic involved, the significance of such processing for you, and the intended effects of such processing, as well as your right to be informed of the safeguards in place pursuant to Article 46 of the GDPR when your data is transferred to third countries;

- Right to erasure under Article 17 of the GDPR: You have the right to request the erasure of your personal data if the conditions set forth in Article 17(1) of the GDPR are met. However, this right does not apply, in particular, if the processing is necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, to comply with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims;
- Right to restriction of processing under Article 18 of the GDPR: You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data while the accuracy of your data, which you have contested, is being verified; if you object to the erasure of your data due to unlawful processing and instead request the restriction of the processing of your data; if you need your data to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims after we no longer need this data once the purpose has been fulfilled, or if you have objected on grounds related to your particular situation, as long as it has not yet been determined whether our legitimate grounds override yours;
- Right to be informed pursuant to Art. 19 of the GDPR: If you have exercised your right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing with the controller, the controller is obligated to notify all recipients to whom your personal data has been disclosed of such rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. You have the right to be informed of these recipients.

In the event of withdrawal, we will delete the relevant data without delay, unless further processing can be based on a legal basis that does not require consent.

- Right to lodge a complaint pursuant to Article 77 of the GDPR: If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR, you have—without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy— - the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work, or the place where the alleged infringement occurred.
