III. General information about data processing
1. Scope of the processing of personal data
We only collect and use personal data of our users to the extent that is necessary to provide a functional website as well as our content and services. The collection and use of personal data of our users generally only occurs with the user's consent. An exception is made in those cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.
2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
To the extent that we need to obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, art. 6 para. 1 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) functions as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.
For the processing of personal data necessary for the fulfilment of a contract of which the affected party is party to, art. 6 para. 1 lit. b of the GDPR functions as the legal basis. This also applies to processing steps that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. Insofar as the processing of personal data is needed to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, art. 6 para. 1 lit. c of the GDPR functions as the legal basis.
In the event that the vital interests of the data subject or other natural person make a processing of personal data necessary, art. 6 para. 1 lit. d of the GDPR functions as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR functions as the legal basis for processing.
3. Data deletion and storage period
The personal data of the person concerned will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Furthermore, data may be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the person responsible is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.
4. Use of services in the context of the website
In certain cases, we use external service providers to process your data on our website. These have been carefully selected and commissioned by us. They are bound by our instructions and are checked regularly. Data are not transferred to countries outside the EU or the EEA (so-called third countries).

- IP address
- Information about the browser type and the version used
- Operating system of the user
- Date and time of the access
- Date and time of the access
The data are also saved in the log files of our system. Not affected by this are the IP addresses of the user or other data that enable the assignment of the data to a user. These data are not stored together with other personal data of the user.
2. Legal basis for the processing of data
Legal basis for the temporary storage of data is provided by art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR.
3. Purpose of the data processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is required to allow the user's computer to access the website. The user's IP address needs to be stored for the duration of the session.
Our legitimate interest in data processing also lies in these purposes as per art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR.
4. Storage duration
The data are deleted as soon as they are no longer needed to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. In case the data were collected in order to provide the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.
5. Objection and removal options
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the site's operation. Hence there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.
V. Use of technically necessary cookies
1. Description and scope of the data processing
Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the internet browser or by the internet browser on the user's computer system. When a user visits a website, a cookie may be stored on the user's operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic character string that enables a unique identification of the browser when the website is retrieved again.
We use cookies to make our website even more user friendly. Some of our website's elements require that the accessing browser can be identified even after a page change.
2. Legal basis for the processing of data
Legal basis for the processing of personal data while using cookies is provided by art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR.
3. Purpose of the data processing
The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of websites for users. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. These require the browser to be recognised even after the page has been changed.
The user data collected by technically necessary cookies are not used to create user profiles.
Our legitimate interest in processing personal data also lies in these purposes as per art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR.
4. Duration of storage, possibility of objection and removal
Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted to our site. Therefore, as a user, you also have total control over the use of cookies. You can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing your internet browser's settings. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time.

VI. Contact form and email contact
1. Description and scope of the data processing
There is a contact form on our website which can be used to contact us electronically. If a user makes use of this option, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored.
Your consent to the processing of data is obtained during the sending process while the privacy policy is referred to.
Alternatively, you can contact us via the e-mail address provided. In this case, the user's personal data transmitted by e-mail will be stored.
In this context, no data is shared with third parties. The data is used exclusively to process the conversation.
2. Legal basis for the processing of data
The legal basis for the processing of data if the user's consent has been obtained is provided by art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the GDPR.
The legal basis for the processing of data which takes place in the course of sending an email is provided by art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR. If the e-mail contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is provided by art. 6 para. 1 lit. b of the GDPR.
3. Purpose of the data processing
Processing the personal data from the input mask only serves to process the communication. In the event of contact by e-mail, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data.
The other personal data processed during the sending process serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our IT systems.
4. Storage duration
The data are deleted as soon as they are no longer needed to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. This is the case for personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those that were sent by e-mail once the respective conversation with the user is finished. The conversation is over when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter at hand has been concluded.
The additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted after a period of 90 days at the latest.
5. Objection and removal options
The user has the possibility to revoke his consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by e-mail, he can object to the storage of his personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued. The revocation can be done in a free form and should be addressed to the person responsible.
In this case, all personal data stored by us in the course of contacting us will be deleted.
VII. Use of Matomo (formerly Piwik)
1. Description and scope of the data processing
This website uses the open source web analysis service known as Matomo. Matomo uses "cookies". These are text files which are stored on your computer and enable the analysis of your use of the website. For this purpose, the information generated by the cookie concerning your use of this website is stored on our server. The IP address is anonymised prior to storage.
2. Legal basis for the processing of data
The storage of Matomo cookies and the use of this analytical tool are based on Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the anonymised analysis of user behaviour to optimise both its web services and its advertising. Where the relevant consent has been sought (e. g. consent to the placing of cookies), the processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR; this consent may be revoked at any time.
3. Purpose of the data processing
We use Matomo to analyse the use of our website and to make regular improvements to it. The statistics obtained allow us to improve our services and make them more relevant to you as a user.
4. Duration of storage, possibility of objection and deletion
Matomo cookies will remain on your device until you delete them.

You may reject the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However, please note that, if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.
If you do not consent to the storage and use of your data, you can deactivate this storage and use here. In this case, an opt-out cookies will be placed on your browser which will prevent Matomo from storing your user data.

VIII. Newsletter - eTicker
If you would like to receive our newsletter, we need an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. Further data is not collected or only collected on a voluntary basis. We use the following newsletter service providers to process the newsletter:
direct mail
This website uses direct mail services to send newsletters. The provider is e3 Software, LLC, 1166 East Warner Road, Suite 101, Gilbert, AZ 85296, USA.
Direct mail is a service with which, among other things, the sending of newsletters can be organized and analyzed. If you enter data for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter (e.g. e-mail address), this will be stored on the Direct Mail servers in the USA.
With the help of direct mail we can analyze our newsletter campaigns. When you open an e-mail sent with Direct Mail, a file contained in the e-mail (so-called web beacon) connects to the Direct Mail servers in the USA. In this way it can be determined whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links have been clicked on. Technical information is also recorded (e.g. time of retrieval, IP address, browser type and operating system). This information cannot be assigned to the respective newsletter recipient. They are used exclusively for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyzes can be used to better adapt future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.
If you do not want an analysis by direct mail, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message.
The data processing takes place on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you have stored with 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 deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you have canceled the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes remain unaffected.
After you have been removed from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is only used for this purpose and is not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interests.
For more information, see Direct Mail's privacy policy at:
https://de.directmailmac.com/privacy
order processing
We have concluded an order processing contract (AVV) for the use of the above-mentioned service. This is a contract required by data protection law, which ensures that the personal data of our website visitors is only processed according to our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries
Among other things, we use tools - such as direct mail - from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data can be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that in these countries no level of data protection comparable to that of the EU can be guaranteed. For example, US companies are obliged to release personal data to security authorities without you as the person concerned being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) will process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
IX. Rights of the affected person
Every affected person has the right of access under Article 15 GDPR, the right to rectification under Article 16 GDPR, the right to erasure under Article 17 GDPR, the right to restriction of processing under Article 18 GDPR, the right to object under Article 21 GDPR and the right to data portability under Article 20 GDPR. The limitations of §§ 34 and 35 BDSG apply for the right to access and right to erasure. In addition, there is a right of appeal to a data protection supervisory authority (Article 77 GDPR in conjunction with § 19 BDSG).
You can revoke your consent issued to us for the processing of personal data at any time. This also applies to the revocation of declarations of consent that were given to us prior to the validity of the basic EU data protection regulation, i.e. before 25 May 2018. Please note that the revocation will only take effect in the future. Processing that took place before the revocation is not affected by this. The revocation can be done in a free form and should be addressed to the person responsible.
Right of appeal with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of violations of data protection laws, the person concerned has a right of appeal with the competent supervisory authority. The responsible supervisory authority for data protection issues is the data protection officer of the federal state in which our company is based. A list of data protection officers and their contact details can be found at: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/addresses_links-node.html
