The personal data collected by us for these purposes will be stored until the expiry of the statutory retention obligation and then deleted, unless we are obliged to store it for a longer period pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c GDPR due to tax and commercial law retention and documentation obligations (from HGB, StGB or AO) (usually 10 years) or you have consented to storage beyond this pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.


3. Collection of Access Data and Log Files

Based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, we collect data about access to the server on which this website is located. The following data is saved: Name of the accessed page, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version used, the user's operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address, and the requesting provider.

Logfile information is stored for security reasons (e.g., to investigate misuse or fraud) for a maximum of seven days. Data whose further retention is required for evidentiary purposes is exempt from deletion until final clarification of the respective incident.

Our website is hosted by the service provider ionos.de, which provides us with platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, security services, and technical maintenance services. We have concluded a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with this provider. To ensure the proper display of our website, connections to the provider's web servers are established by the user, which also transmits your IP address.

This includes, in particular, the transfer to authorised subcontractors and/or business partners as well as public authorities for the purpose of correspondence and the execution of commissioned services.

7. Cookies, Audience Measurement, and Right to Object to Direct Marketing

Cookies are pieces of information that are transferred from our web server or third-party web servers to the user's web browser and stored there for later retrieval. Cookies can be small files or other types of information storage.

We, or the content integrated by third-party providers, use "session cookies", which are only stored for the duration of your current visit to our online presence (e.g., to enable the storage of your login status or the shopping cart function and thus the use of our online offer at all). A randomly generated unique identification number, a so-called session ID, is stored in a session cookie. A cookie also contains information about its origin and the storage period. Session cookies cannot store any other data. They are deleted when you finish using our online offer (e.g., by logging out) or close your browser.

We, or the content integrated by third-party providers, also use permanent cookies. In part, these cookies serve security purposes or are necessary for the operation of our online offer (e.g., for the correct display of our website). We inform you further about the use of cookies for audience measurement or marketing purposes in this privacy policy.

If you do not want cookies to be stored on your computer, you can deactivate the corresponding option in your browser settings. Stored cookies can be deleted there. The exclusion of cookies can lead to functional restrictions of this and other websites.

You can object to the use of cookies for audience measurement and advertising purposes via the deactivation page of the Network Advertising Initiative (http://optout.networkadvertising.org/) and additionally via the US website (http://www.aboutads.info/choices) or the European website (http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/).


8. Google Analytics

Based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR (Opt-In via the cookie banner) as well as our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in the analysis, optimisation, and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR), we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC ("Google").

  • Google uses cookies for the function of this service. The information about the use of the online offer is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
  • Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and thus guarantees compliance with European data protection law (https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search).
  • Google uses this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online offer, to compile reports on user activities, and to provide us with further services associated with the use of this online offer. Pseudonymous user profiles of the visitors can be created from the processed data.
  • We use Google Analytics to display ads within Google's advertising services only to those users who have shown an interest in our online offer or who exhibit certain characteristics (e.g., interests in certain topics or products). We transmit the desired target group to Google (so-called "Remarketing" or "Google Analytics Audiences"). This allows us to ensure that ads correspond to the interest of the users and do not annoy them.
  • The IP address transmitted is not merged with other data from Google. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by setting their browser software accordingly. Furthermore, the transmission and processing of data can be prevented by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
  • Further information on data use by Google, as well as settings and objection options, can be found on Google's websites: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites ("How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps"), https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads ("Advertising"), https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated ("Manage information that Google uses to show you ads").


9. Integration of Third-Party Services and Content

Within our online offer, based on our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in the analysis, optimisation, and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR), we use content or service offers from third-party providers in order to integrate their content and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter uniformly referred to as "Content"). This presupposes that the third-party providers of this content perceive the IP address of the users, since they could not send the content to their browser without the IP address. The IP address is therefore required for the presentation of this content. We endeavour to use only such content whose respective providers use the IP address solely for the delivery of the content and do not store it for other purposes. Third-party providers may use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as "web beacons") for statistical or marketing purposes. This allows information, such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website, to be evaluated. This pseudonymous information may be stored in cookies on the user's device and may contain, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visit time, and other information regarding the use of our online offer. It is also possible for the provider to link the data with information from other sources.

The following list provides an overview of third-party providers and their content, as well as links to their privacy policies, which may contain further information on data processing and objection options (so-called Opt-Out):
