Gathering general information

When you access our website, information of a general nature is automatically gathered. This information (server logfiles) includes the type of the web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your internet service provider and similar. This exclusively relates to information and does not allow any information to be gleaned about your person.
This information is technically necessary to correctly deliver the content of web pages requested by you and is mandatory when using the internet. Anonymous information of this kind is statistically evaluated by us, in order to optimise our Internet presence and the technology behind it.

Using our online ordering system

When using our online ordering system, certain personal data is used such as your name, address, contact data and communication data such as telephone number and email address. We exclusively use this for the purpose of processing the contract.

If you are registered with us you can access content and services which is reserved for registered users. Registered users also have the option to amend or delete the data provided at registration at any time if required. Naturally, we will also provide you with information about the personal data which we have saved about you. We will be delighted to correct or delete this information at your request, provided this is not in contravention of any legal obligations to retain the data. In order to get in touch with us in regard to this, please use the contact data which we have provided at the end of this data protection policy.

Newsletter

When you sign up to receive our newsletter, the data you provide will be used exclusively for this purpose. Subscribers can also be informed by email of circumstances which are relevant to the service or the registration (for example changes to the newsletter offer or technical parameters).
For effective registration, we require a valid email address. In order to check that a registration has actually been made by the owner of an email address, we use the “double opt-in” procedure. For this purpose, we create a record of the order of the newsletter, the dispatch of a confirmation email and the receipt of the answer requested. No other data is gathered. The data is used exclusively to send the newsletter and is not passed on to third parties.
You can withdraw your agreement to save your personal data and to use your data for the purpose of sending the newsletter at any time. A corresponding link can be found in each newsletter. In addition, you can also unsubscribe directly on this website at any time or inform us of your wish to do so using the contact information provided at the end of this data protection information.

Contact form

If you get in touch with us via email or contact form, the details provided for the purposes of processing the request or for possible subsequent queries will be stored.

Deletion or blocking of the data

We adhere to the principles of data avoidance and data minimisation. We therefore only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes mentioned here or as provided for by the various storage periods provided for by law. After discontinuation of the respective purpose or expiration of these deadlines, the corresponding data are routinely blocked and deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

Cookies

As is the case for many other websites, we use so-called “cookies”.
Cookies are small data files which are transferred from a website server to your hard disk. Using the cookies, we automatically receive certain data such as IP addresses, browsers used and operating systems via your computer and your internet connection. Cookies cannot be used in order to launch programmes or to transfer viruses to a computer. Using the information contained within cookies, we can make navigating easier and allow our websites to be correctly displayed. Under no circumstances will the data we gather be passed to third parties and no link to personal data will be created without your permission. Of course, you can also view our website without cookies. Internet browsers are regularly set up in such a way that they accept cookies. You can deactivate the use of cookies at any time using the settings in your browser.
Please use the help function in your internet browser in order to find out how you can change these settings. Please note that individual functions of our website may not work if you have deactivated the use of cookies.

Using Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (referred to hereafter as Google). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, i.e. text files which are stored on your computer and which allow analysis of your website use. The information derived through the cookie concerning your use of this website is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, due to the activation of IP anonymisation on these websites, your IP address will be shortened by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened 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 activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address as part of Google Analytics by your browser will not be merged with other Google data.
You can prevent the storage of cookies using the relevant settings in your browser software; however, we point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website in full. In addition, you may prevent Google from gathering the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) as well as preventing Google from processing this data by downloading the browser plug-in available under the following link and installing it:

Your rights to information, correction, blocking, deletion and objection

You have the right to receive information about the personal data we have stored concerning you at any time. You also have the right to correction, blocking or deletion of your personal data, apart from mandatory data storage for business transactions. Please contact our data protection officer for this purpose. You will find their contact data at the very bottom.
In order that a data block can be taken into account at all times, this data should be held in a blocked list for control purposes. You can also demand that data be deleted, provided that there is no legal obligation to archive it. If such an obligation exists, we will block your data on request.
You can make changes or withdraw your permission by notifying us with future effect.

Changes to our data protection terms

We reserve the right to amend this data protection policy from time to time to ensure that it complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the data protection policy, e.g. when introducing new services.
