Data processing on our website

General Information

Transmission of personal data to recipients/ third parties and third-party- service providers

We comply with the legal requirements. A transfer of data to third parties occurs only within the scope of statutory provisions.

External Agents

We engage third parties, external agents, to perform services in connection with the operation of this website and our company (e.g. advertising agencies or shipping service providers in the implementation and processing of competitions or other advertising measures, software providers for e-mail marketing).

Server log files

We collect data about every access on our website (so called server log files) based on our legitimate interest, Art. 6 para.1 lit.f) GDPR.

The processed data include inter alia the IP address, time of retrieval, type of request, protocol, http status, referer, browser type and version, operating system and report on successful access.

The data will be used for statistical analysis for the purpose of operation, safety and optimization of the offer.

The data will be stored up to 3 months for security reasons. The IP address will be stored exclusively anonymously.

If further storage is required because of evidence purposes, the data will be deleted after the final settlement of the matter.

Cookies

Cookies are small files that make it possible to store specific device-related information on users' access devices (computer, smartphones, etc.). They serve for the user-friendliness of web pages and thus the users (for example storage of login data). On the other hand, they are used to collect the statistical data of website use and to be able to analyze them for the purpose of improving the offer.

It is possible to influence the use of cookies. Most browsers have an option to restrict or completely prevent the storage of cookies. However, it is pointed out that the use and especially the comfort of use are limited without cookies.

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics generates detailed statistics about a website's traffic and traffic sources and measures conversions and sales. Google Analytics uses “cookies” stored on your computer to help analyse how users use our website. The data processing is based on our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para.1 lit. f) GDPR (economic interests in the use of the website, optimization of the online offer).

We use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymization only and therefore the IP addresses are processed only shortened, in order to prevent them being directly linked to a particular individual. This means that your IP address will be abbreviated by Google within the member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. In exceptional cases only, the full IP address will be sent to a Google server in the US and abbreviated there.

Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", text files which are saved on your computer and enable an analysis of your usage of the website. Information on your usage of this website generated by the cookie is generally transferred to a Google server in the US and stored there.

Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement, which provides a guarantee to comply with European data protection law.
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use the information collected 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 provided by Google Analytics as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You can prevent the storage of cookies by a corresponding setting of your browser software; however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use all the features of this website to the fullest extent possible.

In addition, you may object to the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google at any time by using and install the browser plug-in available under the following link Download: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Use of Google Remarketing

Furthermore, we use the Google Remarketing application on our website. This is a process with which we can address you again after visiting our website. The data processing is based on our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para.1 lit. f) GDPR (economic interests, display of interest-related advertisement). Through this application it is possible to display to you our ads after your visit of our website (for example, after clicking on Youtube videos, which are incorporated on our website) during your further use of the Internet. This is done by means of cookies stored in your browser, through which Google records and evaluates your usage behavior when visiting various websites. This is how Google determines your previous visit to our website. According to Google, Google does not pool the data collected during the remarketing with your personal data, which may be stored by Google. In particular, Google uses pseudonymization in remarketing.

You may permanently disable the use of cookies by Google by following the link below and downloading and installing the plug-in provided there: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin.

Alternatively, you may disable the use of third-party cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative deactivation page at www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ and implementing the information concerning the opt-out listed there.

Google Double Click

The data processing is based on our legitimate interest according with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR (economic interests in the use of the website, optimization of the online offer).

Therefor cookies are used to present advertisements which could be relevant to you. Your browser will be assigned a pseudonymous identification number (ID) to check which ads have appeared in your browser and which ads have been viewed.

The information generated by the cookies is transmitted by Google for evaluation to a server in the United States and stored there.

Integration of content and services of third-parties

It is possible that we use content or services from third-party providers to integrate their offers and services like for example videos, maps etc. This is based on our legitimate interests, Art. 6 para.1 lit. f GDPR (e.g. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer).

The prerequisite for this is that these contents detect the IP address of the users, because without an IP address, the content can not be sent to the browser of the provider and thus can not be displayed.

We endeavor to use only content whose respective providers use the IP address solely for the delivery of the content. Third parties may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also referred to as "web beacons") for statistical or marketing purposes. The "pixel tags" can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user's device and may include, but is not limited to, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring web pages, visit time, and other information regarding the use of our online offer.
