SSL or TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries 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 browser’s address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.

3. Data Collection on Our Website

Cookies

This website uses so-called cookies in part. Cookies do not harm your device and do not contain viruses. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, efficient, 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 after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.

You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Cookies that are required to carry out electronic communication processes or to provide certain functions you request (e.g., shopping cart function) are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to provide its services in a technically error-free and optimized manner. If other cookies (e.g., cookies to analyze your browsing behavior) are stored, they are treated separately in this privacy policy.

Server Log Files

The provider of the website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
• Browser type and version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Hostname of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of the website—for this, server log files must be collected.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries 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 do not share this information without your consent.

The processing of the data entered in the contact form is thus based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke this consent at any time. An informal email to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected.

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

YouTube

Our website uses plugins from the YouTube website operated by Google. The operator is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

When you visit one of our pages equipped with a YouTube plugin, a connection is established to YouTube’s servers. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited.

If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

YouTube is used in the interest of presenting our online offerings in an appealing way. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Google Web Fonts

This site uses web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.

To do this, your browser must connect to Google’s servers. As a result, Google becomes aware that your IP address was used to access our website. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our online services. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
