Data protection

The website administrators responsible for these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data as confidential, and in accordance with applicable data protection regulations as well as this data privacy statement.

When you are using this website, different kinds of personal data are acquired. Personal data are that data that can be used to identify you as a person. This privacy statement explains what data we collect and what we use them for. It also tells you how this is done and for what purposes.

It should be borne in mind that data transmission over the Internet may be vulnerable to security breaches (e.g., when communicating by e-mail). Complete protection of data against third parties' access is not possible.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations can only be carried out with your express consent. You can always withdraw the consent that you have already given. To do this, it is sufficient for you to send us an informal e-mail. Withdrawal of your consent will not affect the lawfulness of data processing based on your consent before its withdrawal.

Right to file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of a breach of data protection regulations, the data subject affected has the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority for resolving data protection issues is the state [i.e. German “Land”] data protection commissioner of the federal state [“Land”] in which our company has its registered office. A list of data protection commissioners and their contact details can be found here (german language):

You have the right to have transferred to yourself or to a third party, in a commonly used and machine-readable format, the data that we process automatically based on your consent or for the purpose of performing a contract. If you request that your data should be transmitted directly to another controller, we will carry out your request provided that it is technically feasible.

Right to receive information on personal data as well as the right to block or erase such data

Under applicable laws you can always request to be provided with free-of-charge information on the data we hold about you, about their origin, recipients and processing purpose; you can also request that the data be rectified, blocked or erased.

Most of the cookies we use are the so-called session cookies. They are deleted automatically when you leave our website. Other cookies will remain on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser when you access our website next time.

You can configure your browser settings so that you are notified about cookies, and can allow or accept them in individual cases only or decline them in general, and activate automatic deletion of cookies upon exiting the browser. If cookies are disabled, the functionality of our  website may be impaired.

Cookies that are necessary for carrying out electronic communication or providing certain functions that you may need (e.g., the shopping cart feature) are stored pursuant to Article 6 (1) Letter f) of GDPR [General Data Protection Regulation]. The website administrator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies and thus ensuring technically fault-free and optimised provision of its services. If other cookies are stored (e.g., cookies that analyse your surfing behaviour), they are addressed separately in the privacy statement.

Server log files

The Internet service provider acquires and collects information automatically in the so-called server log files that your browser transmits to us automatically. This information includes:

• browser type and version
• operating system used
• referrer URL [previously visited website]
• host name of the accessing computer
• time of the server request
• IP address

These data are not combined with other data sources.

The basis for the data processing is Article 6 (1) Letter f) of GDPR [General Data Protection Regulation], which allows for the processing of data for the purpose of performing a contract or taking steps prior to entering into a contract. Server log files are removed after 7 days.
