2. Explanations of terms

We have designed our data protection declaration in accordance with the principles of clarity and transparency. However, if there be any ambiguities regarding the use of different terms, the corresponding definitions can be found here.

3. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

a) Processing of personal data according to the GDPR

We only process your personal data, such as your surname and first name, your e-mail address and IP address, etc., if there is a legal basis for doing so. According to the General Data Protection Regulation, the following regulations in particular come into consideration:

  • 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a DSGVO: The data subject has given his/her consent to the processing of personal data concerning him/her for one or more specific purposes.
  • 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b DSGVO: Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at the request of the data subject.
  • 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c DSGVO: Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.
  • 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. d DSGVO: Processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person
  • 6 (1) p. 1 lit. e DSGVO: processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller
  • Article 6(1)(1)(f) of the GDPR: processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests of the controller or of a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require the protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child

However, at the relevant points in this data protection declaration, we will always point out once again the legal basis on which your personal data is processed.

b) Consent of the legal guardian according to Art. 8 Para. 1 Sentence 2 Alt.2 DSGVO

A parent or guardian must consent to all data processing on this website for which the consent of a minor who has not yet reached the age of 16 is required. Information on the individual data processing operations, their purposes and the categories of data concerned, for which the consent of the person concerned is required, can be found in the data protection declaration.

You can revoke your consent at any time by sending the revocation in text form to the contact details of the controller. The processing remains lawful until the revocation.

c) Processing of information pursuant to Section 25 (1) TTDSG

We also process information pursuant to Section 25 (1) of the TTDSG by storing information on your terminal equipment or accessing information that is already stored on your terminal equipment. This can be both personal information and non-personal data, e.g. cookies, browser fingerprints, advertising IDs, MAC addresses and IMEI numbers. Terminal equipment is any equipment connected directly or indirectly to the interface of a public telecommunications network for the transmission, processing or reception of messages, § 2 para. 2 no. 6 TTDSG.

As a rule, we process this information on the basis of your consent, § 25 para.1 TTDSG.

As far as an exception according to § 25 para.2 No.1 and No.2 TTDSG is given, we do not need consent. Such an exception is given if we only access or store the information in order to transmit a message via a public telecommunications network or if this is absolutely necessary so that we can provide a telemedia service that you have expressly requested. You can revoke your consent at any time.

We inform you that the revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

4. Passing on of personal data

The transfer of personal data is also processing within the meaning of the previous point 3. However, we would like to inform you again here separately about the subject of transfer to third parties. The protection of your personal data is very important to us. For this reason, we are particularly careful when it comes to passing on your data to third parties.

Therefore, data is only passed on to third parties if there is a legal basis for the processing. For example, we disclose personal data to persons or companies that act as processors for us in accordance with Art. 28 DSGVO. A processor is anyone who processes personal data on our behalf - i.e. in particular in an instruction and control relationship with us.

In accordance with the requirements of the GDPR, we conclude a contract with each of our order processors to oblige them to comply with data protection regulations and thus provide your data with comprehensive protection.

5. Storage period and deletion

We only store all personal data that you transmit to us for as long as required so as to fulfil the purposes for which this data was transmitted or for as long as this is required by law. The data will be deleted or blocked by us upon fulfilment of the purpose and/or expiry of the statutory storage periods.

6. SSL encryption

This website uses SSL encryption for security reasons and so as to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as requests you send to us as a website operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by looking at the address line of the browser and noticing the change from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

When SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

7. Cookies

a) When you visit the website

We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small data packages that are automatically created by your browser and stored on your terminal device when you visit our website. These cookies serve to store information in connection with the respective end device used. When cookies are used, a distinction is made between technically necessary cookies and "other" cookies. Technically necessary cookies are those that are absolutely necessary in order to provide an information society service that you have expressly requested.

b) Technically necessary cookies

In order to make the use of our offer more pleasant for you, we use technically necessary cookies, which may be so-called session cookies (e.g. language and font selection, shopping cart, etc.), content cookies, cookies to ensure server stability and security, or similar. The legal basis for the cookies results from Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) DSGVO, our legitimate interest in the error-free operation of the website and the interest in making our services available to you in an optimised manner.

We will inform you of the legal basis on which this data is processed for the respective services within the data protection declaration.

Cokie settings

8. Cookie banner

To obtain consent for the cookies we use, we use the cookie banner specially developed by SPRINTIS Schenk GmbH & Co. KG's own cookie banner. This itself sets a so-called consent cookie in order to query and process the respective consent status. This consent cookie is technically necessary and is therefore used on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO, § 25 (1) TTDSG.9. Collection and storage of personal data as well as their type and purpose of use

9. Collection and storage of personal data as well as their type and purpose of use

a) External hosting

Our website is hosted by Profihost GmbH, Expo Plaza 1, 30539 Hannover, Germany. For this reason, all personal data collected on our website is stored on the servers of our hoster, unless an external service of a third party is integrated. This may be the IP address, your e-mail address, communication data or similar. You can find out what specific personal data is involved in the individual functions and services explained by us below. If we use an external service of a third party, this will be made clear in the description of the respective service or tool.

The hoster only processes your data on our instructions and insofar as this is necessary to fulfil the services on the website. The hoster does not process the data for its own purposes. We have concluded an order processing contract with the hoster.

For more information on data protection, see: https://www.profihost.com/datenschutz/

b) Shop system

To offer our goods, we use the shop system of OXID ESALES AG, Bertoldstraße 48, 79098 Freiburg, Germany. The data you provide will therefore also be processed by our shop provider as part of the operation of the shop system. In addition, further cookies may be set by the shop system. For this reason, we have concluded a contract for commissioned data processing/the standard contractual clauses with them.

For more information on data protection, see: https://www.oxid-esales.com/datenschutz/

c) When visiting the website

When you access our website, the browser used on your end device automatically sends information to the server of our website. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following information is collected without your intervention and stored until automatic deletion:

  • IP address of the requesting computer
  • Date and time of access
  • Name and URL of the file accessed
  • Website from which the access was made (referrer URL)
  • The browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer as well as the name of your access provider.

The above data will be processed by us for the following purposes:

  • Ensuring a smooth connection of the website
  • Evaluation of system security and stability
  • Error analysis

Data that allow a conclusion to your person, such as the IP address, are deleted after 7 days at the latest. If we store the data beyond this period, this data is pseudonymised so that it can no longer be assigned to you.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes for data collection listed above. In no case do we use the collected data for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person.

d) CloudFlare

On our website, we use a so-called Content Delivery Network ("CDN") as well as the web firewall to defend against DDoS attacks from the technology service provider Cloudflare Inc, 101 Townsend St. San Francisco, CA94107, USA ("Cloudflare").

Cloudflare may process IP addresses, traffic routing and system configuration information and other information about traffic destined for or originating from websites.

For the CDN, the information transfer between the browser and our server is technically routed through Cloudflare's network so that we can optimise the loading speeds of our website. The web firewall is designed to prevent fraudulent transactions, unauthorised access to the services and other illegal activities.

The processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO on the basis of our legitimate interest in a secure and efficient provision, as well as improvement of the stability and functionality of our website.

We have concluded the standard contractual clauses (Data Processing Addendum) with Cloudflare.

For more information, please see Cloudflare's privacy policy at: https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/

e) Contractual relationship

(1) Conclusion of contract

Within the scope of the establishment of the contractual relationship, only the personal data that is absolutely necessary for the performance of the contract is processed in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b DSGVO.

If you also provide voluntary information, this will only be processed on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit a DSGVO. We use this voluntary information to offer a customer-friendly service and to constantly improve it.

(2) Customer account

You have the option of creating a customer account with us. For this purpose, in addition to your personal data for contract processing, your other voluntary information and the purchases you have made with us in the past will be stored and processed.

This data is used so that you can easily log in with your login data the next time you make a purchase. It should

also help you to control your purchasing activities. The legal basis is based on your consent according to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a DSGVO.

You have the possibility to change or delete your data in the customer account at any time and to delete the account as a whole. If you make use of this function, your customer account with all the data contained therein will be deleted immediately.

The legal basis for the transfer is provided in Section 6 Par. p. 1 lit. b GDPR.

j) Use of Google Maps:

Our website uses the Google Maps API. Through the use of Google Maps, information about your use of this website (including your IP address) may be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States (including your IP address) to a Google server (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) in the USA and stored there.

Google may transfer the information obtained through Maps to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. However, your IP address will under no circumstances be associated with other Google data. Nevertheless, we must point out that it would be technically quite possible for Google to identify individual users on the basis of the data received.

We have no influence on whether your personal data and personality profiles are processed by Google for other purposes. If you want to avoid this at all costs, you can deactivate the Google Maps service and thus prevent the transfer of data to Google. To do this, you only need to deactivate JavaScript in your browser. In this case, no data will be transferred, but you will also no longer be able to use the map display on our website.

The Google privacy policy can be found here.

[https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en]

Through the integration of Google Maps, the Google Fonts are also dynamically reloaded by Google, without this being actively determined by the website operator or visitor. The integration of these web fonts takes place via a server call, usually a Google server in the USA. The following may be transmitted to the server and stored by Google:

  • Name and version of the browser used
  • Website from which the request was triggered (referrer URL)
  • Operating system of your computer
  • Screen resolution of your computer
  • IP address of requesting computer
  • Language settings of the browser or operating system the user is using.

You can find more information in Google's privacy policy, which you can access here:

www.google.com/fonts#AboutPlace:about

www.google.com/policies/privacy/

The use of Google Maps is a service for you, so that you can see our exact location and, if necessary, better plan your visit to us. The use of Google Maps is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a DSGVO.

k) Google Tag Manager

We use the Google Tag Manager from Google (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) on our website. The Google Tag Manager is an administration and management tool in which other tracking and other tracking and/or statistical tools can be centrally managed and played out.

When you visit our website and give your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) DSGVO, the Google Tag Manager collects and processes your IP address, which may also be transmitted to the USA. However, the Google Tag Manager itself does not create a user profile or analyses.

You can find the Google privacy policy here.

[https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en]

10. Analysis and tracking tools

We use the following analysis and tracking tools on our website. These are used to ensure the ongoing optimisation of our website and to design it in line with requirements.

We use these tools on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO. You can revoke your consent at any time by changing the cookie settings. The processing remains lawful until the revocation.

The respective data processing purposes and data categories can be found in the corresponding tools. We would like to point out that we have no influence on whether and to what extent the service providers carry out further data processing.

a) Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics on our website, a web analytics service provided by Google (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter "Google").

Google Analytics uses cookies in this context (see section 7). The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website, such as

  • Name and version of the browser used
  • Operating system of your computer
  • Website from which the access is made (referrer URL)
  • IP address of the requesting computer
  • Time of the server request

are usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Your IP address is automatically anonymised by Google before it is recorded via EU domains and servers. There is therefore no logging or storage of your IP address.

Google will use this information on our behalf for the purpose of evaluating your use of our website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with any other data held by Google.

We have concluded an order processing contract with Google. Please click here for an overview of data protection at Google. [https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245]

b) Google Remarketing

We use the remarketing function of Google Analytics to target advertising campaigns - including Google AdWords campaigns - to visitors to our website.

Based on your previous visits to our website, you will be presented with relevant advertisements when you visit other websites in the Google Display Network.

The DoubleClick cookie enables Google to display targeted advertisements to ourselves and other third parties that match interests identified based on your previous visits to our website and/or other websites. These advertisements may be displayed on websites operated by Google and/or other operators of the Google advertising network. We also use the Google Analytics advertising features to analyse the effectiveness of our own advertising campaigns.

If you have agreed in your Google account that your web and app browsing history is linked by Google to your Google account and information from your Google account is used to personalise ads, Google will use data from you together with Google Analytics data to create target group lists for cross-device remarketing. To do this, Google Analytics first collects Google-authenticated IDs for you as a user on our website, which are linked to your Google account. Google Analytics then temporarily links these IDs with Google Analytics data in order to optimise our target groups.

Please click here for an overview of Google's privacy policy. [https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245]

c) Google Ads Conversion Tracking

We use Google Ads, an online advertising programme from Google (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland), on our website. Conversion tracking is also used in this process. With this tool, Google Ads sets a cookie on your end device when you come to our website via a Google ad.

The cookie does not serve any personal traceability. If you visit our website as a user and the cookie is still working, it will be recognisable to us together with Google that you clicked on the corresponding ad and were redirected to our page. A different cookie is assigned to each Google Ads customer. Cookies are thus not traceable via the websites of the Ads customers.

The data collected through conversion cookies is used to create conversion statistics for Ads customers. As Google Ads customers, we learn the total number of users who responded to our ad and were then redirected to a website that was tagged with a conversion tracking tag.

were then redirected to a website that was tagged with a conversion tracking tag. This allows us to see the success of individual advertising efforts. During this process, we do not receive any information with which we could personally identify you as a user.

When using Google Ads, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server and, if you have a Google account and are logged in to it, can assign the visit to your account. If you do not have a Google account, Google will assign you its own identifier. We have no influence on what other data Google collects and stores.

You can find out more about Google's privacy policy at http://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.

d) LinkedIn Conversion Tracking

We use the conversion tracking function of LinkedIn on our website. This enables us to target you with advertisements following a visit to our website. In addition, LinkedIn provides a report that shows how successful our advertisements are and how users interact with our site in general. If you have logged in via LinkedIn before visiting our site, this will be recognised as part of the conversion tracking and you will be connected to your LinkedIn account as a visitor to our site.

You can find more information in LinkedIn's privacy policy: hhttps://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy?_l=de_DE

You also have the option to unsubscribe from interest-based advertising via LinkedIn. This is possible via the following link: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/enhanced-advertising

e) Microsoft Advertising Conversion Tracking

We use the Microsoft Advertising programme on our website, which is provided and operated by Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, One Microsoft Place, South Country Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin, Ireland 18, D18 P521 ("Microsoft").

With the help of the Microsoft Advertising programme, we can place advertisements in various search engines and networks. In order to identify which ad or keyword brought you to our website, we have implemented Universal Event Tracking (UET) on our site. This is a conversion tracking tag that allows us to learn more about your user behaviour on our websites.
