On our website, tools from companies based in the USA are integrated. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to the US servers of the respective companies. We point out that the USA is not a safe third country within the meaning of EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to disclose personal data to security authorities without you, as the data subject, being able to take legal action against it. It cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) may process, evaluate, and permanently store your data on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
WITHDRAWAL OF YOUR CONSENT TO DATA PROCESSING
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent that has already been given at any time. The legality of data processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
RIGHT TO OBJECT TO DATA COLLECTION IN SPECIAL CASES AND TO DIRECT ADVERTISING (ART. 21 GDPR)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 (1) LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS DATA PRIVACY POLICY.

RIGHT TO DATA PORTABILITY
You have the right to have data, which we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.
SSL/TLS ENCRYPTION
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
ENCRYPTED PAYMENTS ON THIS WEBSITE
If there is an obligation to provide us with your payment data (e.g., account number for direct debit authorization) after the conclusion of a paid contract, this data is required for payment processing.
Payment transactions using common payment methods (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are carried out exclusively via encrypted SSL or TLS connections. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
With encrypted communication, your payment data, which you transmit to us, cannot be read by third parties.
INFORMATION, DELETION, AND CORRECTION
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient, and the purpose of data processing, and, if necessary, a right to correction or deletion of this data. For this purpose and for further questions about personal data, you can contact us at any time using the contact information provided in the imprint.
RIGHT TO RESTRICTION OF PROCESSING
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. For this purpose, you can contact us at any time using the contact information provided in the imprint. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can demand the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data but you need it for the exercise, defense, or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, except for storage, these data may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

COOKIES
Our websites use so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small text files that do not harm your end device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your end device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or automatic deletion by your web browser occurs.
In some cases, cookies from third-party companies can also be stored on your end device when you enter our site (third-party cookies). These allow us or you to use certain services of the third-party company (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies are used to analyze user behavior or display advertisements.
Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process (necessary cookies) or for the provision of certain functions desired by you (functional cookies, e.g., for the shopping cart function) or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audience) are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies has been requested, the storage of the relevant cookies is based exclusively on this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR); the consent can be revoked at any time.
You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
If cookies are used by third-party companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you separately within the scope of this privacy policy and, if necessary, request your consent.
CONTACT FORM
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your information from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, insofar as your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested.
The data entered by you in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after the completed processing of your inquiry). Mandatory legal provisions, especially retention periods, remain unaffected.

5. ANALYSIS TOOLS AND ADVERTISING
GOOGLE ANALYTICS
This website uses features of the Google Analytics web analytics service. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyze the behavior of website visitors. The website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, dwell time, operating systems used, and the origin of the user. This data may be aggregated by Google into a profile assigned to the respective user or their device.
Google Analytics uses technologies that allow the recognition of the user for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is usually transmitted to a server in the USA and stored there.
The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its website and its advertising. If the corresponding consent has been requested (e.g., consent to the storage of cookies), the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.
The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.
IP ANONYMIZATION
We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. As a result, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and truncated 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 activities, and to provide other services related to website usage and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.

DATA PROCESSING
We have concluded a contract for order processing with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.
DEMOGRAPHIC FEATURES IN GOOGLE ANALYTICS
This website uses the “demographic features” function of Google Analytics to display tailored advertising to website visitors within the Google advertising network. This allows reports to be created that contain statements about the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This data comes from Google’s interest-based advertising and visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as outlined in the “Objection to data collection” section.ü
GOOGLE ANALYTICS E-COMMERCE TRACKING
This website uses the “e-commerce tracking” function of Google Analytics. With the help of e-commerce tracking, the website operator can analyze the purchasing behavior of website visitors to improve his online marketing campaigns. Information such as completed orders, average order values, shipping costs, and the time from view to purchase of a product is recorded. This data can be summarized by Google under a transaction ID, which is assigned to the respective user or their device.
STORAGE DURATION
Data stored at Google on user and event level, linked to cookies, user IDs (e.g., User ID), or advertising IDs (e.g., DoubleClick cookies, Android advertising ID), will be anonymized or deleted after 50 months. For more details, please see the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=en
GOOGLE ADS
The website operator uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising program of Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Ads enables us to display advertisements in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when users enter certain search terms on Google (keyword targeting). In addition, targeted ads can be displayed based on user data available at Google (e.g., location data and interests) (audience targeting). As a website operator, we can quantitatively evaluate this data by analyzing, for example, which search terms led to the display of our ads and how many ads resulted in corresponding clicks.
The use of Google Ads is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the most effective marketing of its services and products.
The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.
GOOGLE REMARKETING
This website uses the features of Google Analytics Remarketing. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Remarketing analyzes your user behavior on our website (e.g., clicks on specific products) to categorize you into certain advertising target groups and then display tailored advertising messages to you when you visit other online offerings (remarketing or retargeting).
Furthermore, the advertising target groups created with Google Remarketing can be linked to the cross-device capabilities of Google. In this way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages adapted to your previous usage and surfing behavior on one device (e.g., mobile phone) can also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g., tablet or PC).
If you have a Google account, you can object to personalized advertising using the following link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.
The use of Google Remarketing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the most effective marketing of its products. If corresponding consent has been requested, the processing occurs exclusively based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.

6. NEWSLETTER
NEWSLETTER DATA
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we need an email address from you, as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address and agree to receive the newsletter. Further data is not or only collected on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.
The processing of the data entered into the newsletter registration form is based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). The consent granted for the storage of the data, the email address, and its use for sending the newsletter can be revoked at any time, for example, via the “Unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you provide to us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter, and it will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data that has been stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.
After you have been removed from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored in a blacklist by us or the newsletter service provider to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used only for this purpose and is not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
7. YOUTUBE WITH ENHANCED PRIVACY
This website embeds YouTube videos. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, the extended privacy mode does not necessarily exclude the transfer of data to YouTube partners. Even if you are not watching a video, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network.
When you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. This informs the YouTube server about which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to directly associate your surfing behavior with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
Furthermore, YouTube can store various cookies on your device or use similar recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting) after starting a video. This allows YouTube to obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to capture video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent fraud.
Additional data processing operations may be triggered after starting a YouTube video, over which we have no influence.
The use of YouTube is in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If corresponding consent has been requested, the processing occurs exclusively based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.
For more information about privacy at YouTube, please see their privacy policy: YouTube Privacy Policy.
8. E-COMMERCE AND PAYMENT SERVICE PROVIDERS
PROCESSING OF DATA (CUSTOMER AND CONTRACT DATA)

We only collect, process, and use personal data about the use of this website (usage data) to the extent necessary to enable the user to use the service or to bill the user.
The collected customer data will be deleted after the order is completed or the business relationship is terminated. Legal retention periods remain unaffected.
