3. Data Collection on Our Website

Cookies

Some parts of this website use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit.

You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to block the acceptance of cookies in specific cases or generally, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process or for providing specific functions you have requested (e.g., the shopping cart feature) are stored pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. To the extent that other cookies (e.g., cookies used to analyze your browsing behavior) are stored, these are addressed separately in this Privacy Policy.

Server Log Files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These include:

• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Hostname of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP address

This data is not combined with other data sources.

The legal basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Contact Form

If you submit inquiries to us via the contact form, the information you provide in the form—including the contact details you enter there—will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not disclose this data without your consent.

The processing of the data entered into the contact form is therefore based exclusively on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). You may withdraw this consent at any time. To do so, simply send us an informal email. The lawfulness of the data processing operations carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions—in particular retention periods—remain unaffected.

Processing of Data (Customer and Contract Data)

We collect, process, and use personal data only to the extent necessary for the establishment, content, or modification of the legal relationship (master data). This is done on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures. We collect, process, and use personal data regarding the use of our website (usage data) only to the extent necessary to enable the user to use the service or to bill for it.

The collected customer data will be deleted upon completion of the order or termination of the business relationship. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

4. Newsletter

MailChimp

This website uses MailChimp’s services to send newsletters. The provider is Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

MailChimp is a service that allows, among other things, the distribution and analysis of newsletters. If you enter data for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter (e.g., email address), this data is stored on MailChimp’s servers in the United States.

MailChimp is certified under the “EU-U.S. Privacy Shield.” The “Privacy Shield” is an agreement between the European Union (EU) and the U.S. designed to ensure compliance with European data protection standards in the U.S.

We use MailChimp to analyze our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent via MailChimp, a file contained in the email (known as a web beacon) connects to MailChimp’s servers in the United States. This allows us to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and, if so, which links were clicked. Technical information is also collected (e.g., time of access, IP address, browser type, and operating system). This information cannot be linked to the individual newsletter recipient. It is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses may be used to better tailor future newsletters to the recipients’ interests.

If you do not want your data analyzed by MailChimp, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a link for this purpose in every newsletter message.

Data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The lawfulness of any data processing that has already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you have provided to us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter, and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider on a blacklist to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used solely for this purpose and is not combined with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements regarding the distribution of newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). There is no time limit on the storage of your information in the blacklist. You may object to this storage provided that your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

For more details, please refer to MailChimp’s Privacy Policy at: https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/.
