4. Data collection on our website

Cookies

Some of the Internet pages use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain any 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 will enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit our website.

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 certain cases or generally, and also activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Cookies which are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions desired by you (e.g. shopping basket function), are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies to facilitate the technically error-free and optimized provision of his services. As far as other cookies (e.g. cookies for the analysis of your surfing behaviour) are stored, these will be treated separately in this data protection declaration.

Server log files

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

·         Browser type and browser version

·         Operating system used

·         Referrer URL

·         Host name of the accessing computer

·         Time of the server request

·         IP address

These data is not combined with other data sources.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Contact form

If you send us enquiries using the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact data you provided there, will be stored for the purpose of processing the enquiry, and for any possible follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

The data entered in the contact form is therefore processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. All you need to do is send us an appropriate informal e-mail. The legality of the data processing up to the revocation shall remain unaffected by the revocation.

The data entered by you in the contact form will remain with us until you request a deletion, your consent for storage is revoked, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular retention periods - shall remain unaffected.

Registration on this website

You can register on our website to use additional functions on the site. We will only use the data entered for this purpose to facilitate a usage of the respective offer, or service for which you have registered. The mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise we will refuse the registration.

In the event of important changes, such as the scope of the offer or technically necessary changes, we will use the e-mail address provided during registration to inform you accordingly.

The data entered during registration will be processed on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time. All you need to do is send us an appropriate informal e-mail. The legality of the data processing already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data collected during the registration is stored by us as long as you are registered on our website, and will subsequently be deleted. Legal retention periods shall remain unaffected.

5. Social Media

Facebook plugins (Like & Share button)

You can recognize the Facebook plugins by the Facebook logo or the "Like" button on our page. An overview of the Facebook plugins can be found here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.

When you visit our pages, the plug-in creates a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server. This gives Facebook the information that you have visited our site with your IP address.

This allows Facebook to associate the visit of our pages with your user account.

Our pages use the functions of Google+. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Collection and disclosure of information: With the help of the Google+ button it is possible to publish information worldwide. The Google+ button provides you and other users with personalized content from Google and our partners. Google stores both the information that you gave for a +1 content, as well as information about the page you saw when you clicked +1. Your +1 can be viewed as information, along with your profile name and photo, in Google services, such as search results, your Google profile, or elsewhere on websites and ads on the Internet.

Google collects information about your +1 activities to improve Google services for you and others. To use the Google+ button, you need a globally visible, public Google profile, which must contain at least the name of the profile. This name will be used in all Google services. In some cases, this name can also be used to replace another name that you used when sharing content through your Google Account. The identity of your Google profile can be displayed to users who know your e-mail address or have other identifying information from you.

Use of the information collected: In addition to the uses described above, the information you provide will be used in accordance with the applicable Google Privacy Policy. Google may publish aggregated statistics on the user’s +1 activities, or pass them on to users and partners, such as publishers, advertisers, or related sites.
