The processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data will not be passed on or otherwise used. However, we reserve the right to subsequently check the server log files should specific indications point to illegal use.
3) Content Delivery Network
Cloudflare
On our website we use a so-called Content Delivery Network ("CDN") of the technology service provider Cloudflare Inc., 101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA ("Cloudflare"). A Content Delivery Network is an online service that helps deliver in particular large media files (such as graphics, page content, or scripts) through a network of regionally distributed servers connected via the internet.

4) Cookies
In order to make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use so-called cookies on various pages. These are small text files that are stored on your device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted after the end of the browser session, i.e. after closing your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your device and enable us or our partner companies (third-party cookies) to recognise your browser on your next visit (persistent cookies). Where cookies are set, they collect and process specific user information such as browser and location data and IP address values to the relevant extent. Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie.
Insofar as individual cookies we have implemented also process personal data, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR either for the performance of the contract, or in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website as well as a customer-friendly and effective design of the page visit.
We may work with advertising partners who help us to make our online offering more interesting for you. For this purpose, when visiting our website, cookies of partner companies are also stored on your hard drive (third-party cookies). When we work with the aforementioned advertising partners, you will be informed individually and separately about the use of such cookies and the scope of the information collected in each case in the following paragraphs.
Please note that you can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and can decide individually about their acceptance, or exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally.

5) Contact
In the course of contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail), personal data is collected. Which data is collected in the case of a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of answering your enquiry or for making contact and the technical administration associated therewith. The legal basis for the processing of this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your enquiry in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your enquiry.

6) Use of Customer Data for Direct Advertising
Sending of e-mail newsletters to existing customers
If you have provided us with your e-mail address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to send you regular offers for similar goods or services from our range — like those already purchased — by e-mail. Pursuant to § 7 (3) of the German Act Against Unfair Competition (UWG), we do not need to obtain separate consent from you for this. Data processing in this respect is carried out solely on the basis of our legitimate interest in personalised direct advertising in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. If you initially objected to the use of your e-mail address for this purpose, no mailing will be sent by us. You are entitled to object at any time, with effect for the future, to the use of your e-mail address for the aforementioned advertising purpose by means of a notification to the data controller named at the beginning. For this you incur only transmission costs at the basic rates. Upon receipt of your objection, the use of your e-mail address for advertising purposes will be discontinued immediately.
7) Contact for Review Reminders
– Own review reminder (not sent through a customer review system)
We use your e-mail address for a one-time reminder to submit a review of your order for the review system we use, provided that you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR during or after your order.
You can revoke your consent at any time by sending a message to the data controller.
8) Use of Social Media: Videos
Use of YouTube Videos
This website uses YouTube's embedding feature to display and play videos from the provider "YouTube", which belongs to Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").
The extended data protection mode is used, which according to the provider only triggers the storage of user information when the video(s) are played. When playback of embedded YouTube videos is started, the provider "YouTube" uses cookies to collect information about user behaviour. According to information from "YouTube", this serves, among other things, to record video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent abusive practices. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account when you click on a video. If you do not want the data to be assigned to your YouTube profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR on the basis of Google's legitimate interests in displaying personalised advertising, market research, and/or designing its website in a needs-based manner. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact YouTube to exercise this right. In the course of the use of YouTube, personal data may also be transferred to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.
Regardless of whether the embedded videos are played, a connection to the Google network is established each time this website is accessed, which may trigger further data processing operations without our influence.
You can find further information on data protection at "YouTube" in the provider's privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy
Insofar as legally required, we have obtained your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR for the processing of your data described above. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please deactivate this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.
9) Online Marketing
9.1 Facebook Pixel for the creation of Custom Audiences (without Cookie Consent Tool)
Within our online offering, the so-called "Facebook Pixel" of the social network Facebook is used, operated by Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook").
If a user clicks on an advertisement displayed by us on Facebook, an addition is appended to the URL of our linked page by the Facebook Pixel. Insofar as our page allows the sharing of data with Facebook via the pixel, this URL parameter is written to the user's browser via a cookie, which our linked page itself sets. This cookie is then read by the Facebook Pixel and enables the data to be forwarded to Facebook.
With the help of the Facebook Pixel, Facebook is able to determine visitors to our online offering as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called "Facebook Ads"). Accordingly, we use the Facebook Pixel to display Facebook Ads placed by us only to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offering, or who exhibit certain characteristics (e.g. interest in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited) which we transmit to Facebook (so-called "Custom Audiences"). With the help of the Facebook Pixel, we also want to ensure that our Facebook Ads correspond to the potential interest of users and do not appear intrusive. We can further evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements for statistical and market research purposes by tracking whether users have been redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook advertisement (so-called "Conversion").
The data collected is anonymous to us; it provides us with no inference as to the identity of users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible, and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Facebook's data use policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). The data may enable Facebook and its partners to place advertisements on and outside Facebook.
The data processing associated with the use of the Facebook Pixel is carried out on the basis of our overriding legitimate interest in the evaluation, optimisation, and economic operation of our online offering and our advertising measures in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.
The information generated by Facebook is generally transferred to a Facebook server and stored there; this may include transfer to the servers of Facebook Inc. in the USA.
To object overall to the collection by the Facebook Pixel and the use of your data for the display of Facebook Ads, you can set an opt-out cookie that disables Facebook Pixel tracking by clicking on the link below:
Deactivate Facebook Pixel
This opt-out cookie only works in this browser and only for this domain. If you delete your cookies in this browser, you must click the link above again.
Insofar as legally required, we have obtained your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR for the processing of your data described above. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please follow the procedure described above for filing an objection.
9.2 Use of Google Ads Conversion Tracking
This website uses the online advertising program "Google Ads" and, within Google Ads, the conversion tracking of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). We use the Google Ads offering to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites by means of advertising tools (so-called Google AdWords). We can determine how successful individual advertising measures are in relation to the advertising campaign data. We pursue the goal of displaying ads that are of interest to you, making our website more interesting for you, and achieving a fair calculation of the advertising costs incurred.
The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on a Google Ads advertisement. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. These cookies generally lose their validity after 30 days and do not serve to personally identify users. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognise that the user clicked on the advertisement and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can thus not be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their advertisement and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that personally identifies users. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking, you can block this use by deactivating the cookie of Google Conversion Tracking via your internet browser under "User Settings". You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. We use Google Ads on the basis of our legitimate interest in targeted advertising pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. In the course of the use of Google Ads, personal data may also be transferred to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.
At the following internet address you will find further information about Google's data protection provisions: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/
You can permanently object to the setting of cookies by Google Ads Conversion Tracking by downloading and installing the Google browser plug-in available at the following link:
https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin?hl=de
Please note that certain functions of this website may not be available, or may only be available to a limited extent, if you have disabled the use of cookies.
Insofar as legally required, we have obtained your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR for the processing of your data described above. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please deactivate this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website, or alternatively follow the procedure described above for filing an objection.
9.3 HubSpot
This website uses the services of HubSpot, a software-based marketing service of HubSpot Ireland Ltd., 2nd Floor 30 North Wall Quay, Dublin 1, Ireland.
HubSpot enables various services of customer service and customer management to be digitally synchronised and processed via a central user interface. HubSpot enables lead generation, central e-mail and newsletter marketing, contact management in the form of user segmentation through CRM, and the management of contact forms.
To fulfil its various functions, HubSpot uses cookies — small text files stored locally in the cache of your web browser on your device — which enable us to analyse your use of the website. The cookies record certain information such as the IP address, location, the time of the page view, and similar. Information collected by means of HubSpot is stored on HubSpot's servers and evaluated on our behalf.
Insofar as personal data is processed in this context, data processing is carried out for the statistical analysis of user behaviour for optimisation and marketing purposes in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Further legal bases for data processing taking place in the context of specific HubSpot services (such as the express consent under Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR for sending newsletters) remain unaffected.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with HubSpot, in which we obligate HubSpot to protect the data of our customers and not to pass it on to third parties.
You can permanently object to the collection of data by HubSpot via cookies and to the setting of cookies by preventing the storage of cookies in your browser settings.
At the following internet address you will find further information about HubSpot's data protection provisions: https://legal.hubspot.com/de/data-privacy
Insofar as legally required, we have obtained your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR for the processing of your data described above. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please follow the procedure described above for filing an objection.
10) Web Analytics Services
Google (Universal) Analytics without cookies
This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics, a web analytics service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").
This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics exclusively without the use of cookies, which means that the service does not set cookies on your device at any time.
Instead, the local storage of your browser is used to store an individual ID assigned by Google (Universal) Analytics, which enables an analysis of your use of the website. To this end, certain user information is processed via the ID.
The information about your use of this website generated via the ID (including the shortened IP address) is generally transferred to a Google server and stored there; this may include transfer to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.
This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics exclusively with the extension "_anonymizeIp()", which ensures anonymisation of the IP address by truncation and excludes direct personal identifiability. The extension causes your IP address to be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area beforehand. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to a Google LLC server in the USA and truncated there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide further services to us in connection with website use and internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the framework of Google (Universal) Analytics is not merged with other data from Google.
All processing described above is only carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. Without such consent, Google Analytics will not be used during your visit to the page.
You can revoke the consent you have given at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, you can download and install the browser plug-in available at the following link:
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
As an alternative to the browser plug-in, or within browsers on mobile devices, you can revoke your consent by clicking the following link to set an opt-out cookie that will prevent the future collection by Google Analytics within this website (this opt-out cookie only works in this browser and only for this domain. If you delete your cookies in this browser, you will have to click this link again):
Deactivate Google Analytics
We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google for the use of Google Analytics, in which Google is obligated to protect the data of our site visitors and not to pass it on to third parties.
For the transfer of data from the EU to the USA, Google relies on so-called standard contractual clauses of the European Commission, which are intended to ensure compliance with the European level of data protection in the USA.
Further information on Google (Universal) Analytics can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de
11) Tools and Miscellaneous
11.1 Cookie Consent Tool based on Usercentrics technology
This website uses a cookie consent tool with technology from Usercentrics GmbH, Rosental 4, 80331 Munich, Germany (hereinafter "Usercentrics") to obtain effective user consents for cookies requiring consent and cookie-based applications.
By integrating a corresponding JavaScript code, users are shown a banner when accessing the page in which consents for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be given by ticking a box. The tool blocks the setting of all cookies requiring consent until the respective user gives the corresponding consents by ticking a box. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the user's device if consent has been granted.
So that the cookie consent tool can clearly assign page visits to individual users and individually record, log, and store the consent settings made by the user for the duration of a session, certain user information (including the IP address) is collected by the cookie consent tool when our website is accessed, transmitted to Usercentrics servers, and stored there.
This data processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific, and user-friendly consent management for cookies, and thus in a legally compliant design of our internet presence.
A further legal basis for the described data processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR. As the data controller, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user's consent.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with Usercentrics, in which we oblige Usercentrics to protect the data of our website visitors and not to pass it on to third parties.
You can find further information about data use by Usercentrics in the Usercentrics privacy policy at https://usercentrics.com/privacy-policy/
11.2 – FontAwesome
This page uses so-called web fonts from "FontAwesome", a service of Fonticons, Inc., 710 Blackhorn Dr, Carl Junction, 64834, MO, USA ("FontAwesome"), for a uniform display of fonts. When a page is called up, your browser loads the required web fonts into the browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.
For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect to FontAwesome's servers. In the course of this, personal data may also be transferred to the servers of FontAwesome in the USA. In this way, FontAwesome becomes aware that our website has been called up via your IP address. The use of FontAwesome Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offerings. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font on your computer will be used.
Further information on FontAwesome can be found at: https://fontawesome.com/privacy
– Google Web Fonts
This page uses so-called web fonts provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google") for a uniform display of fonts. When a page is called up, your browser loads the required web fonts into the browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.

11.3 Google reCAPTCHA
On this website we also use the reCAPTCHA function of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). This function primarily serves to distinguish whether an input is made by a natural person or improperly by mechanised and automated processing. The service includes the transmission of the IP address and, if applicable, further data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google, and is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in determining individual personal responsibility on the internet and avoiding misuse and spam. In the course of the use of Google reCAPTCHA, personal data may also be transferred to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.

The use of this service shows you our location and facilitates any directions.
Already when accessing those subpages in which the Google Maps map is integrated, information about your use of our website (e.g. your IP address) is transferred to Google servers and stored there; this may include transfer to the servers of Google LLC in the USA. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in, or whether a user account exists at all. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not want the data to be assigned to your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. The collection, storage, and evaluation are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR on the basis of Google's legitimate interest in displaying personalised advertising, market research, and/or designing Google websites in a needs-based manner. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right. If you do not agree with the future transfer of your data to Google in the course of the use of Google Maps, there is also the possibility to completely deactivate the Google Maps web service by switching off the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps and thus the map display on this website cannot then be used.
You can view Google's terms of use at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html; the additional terms of use for Google Maps can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de_US/help/terms_maps.html

- Right to information pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR: You have, in particular, a right to information about your personal data processed by us, the processing purposes, the categories of personal data processed, the recipients or categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the envisaged storage period or the criteria for determining the storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection to processing, complaint to a supervisory authority, the origin of your data if it was not collected from you by us, the existence of automated decision-making including profiling and, if applicable, meaningful information about the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such processing for you, and your right to be informed of the safeguards under Art. 46 GDPR that exist when your data is transferred to third countries;
- Right to rectification pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR: You have the right to demand the immediate rectification of incorrect data concerning you and/or the completion of incomplete data stored by us;
- Right to erasure pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR: You have the right to demand the erasure of your personal data if the conditions of Art. 17 (1) GDPR are met. However, this right does not exist in particular if the processing is necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, for the fulfilment of a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest, or for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims;
- Right to restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR: You have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data for as long as the accuracy of your data, which you dispute, is being checked; if you refuse the erasure of your data due to unlawful data processing and demand the restriction of the processing of your data instead; if you require your data for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims after we no longer need this data after the purpose has been achieved; or if you have lodged an objection on grounds relating to your particular situation, for as long as it has not yet been determined whether our legitimate grounds prevail;
- Right to be informed pursuant to Art. 19 GDPR: If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing against the data controller, the latter is obliged to communicate this rectification or erasure of the data, or restriction of processing, to all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

In the event of revocation, we will delete the data concerned without delay, unless further processing can be based on a legal basis for processing without consent.

- Right to lodge a complaint under Art. 77 GDPR: If you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you violates the GDPR, you have — without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy — the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, your place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement.
12.2 RIGHT TO OBJECT
IF, IN THE CONTEXT OF A BALANCING OF INTERESTS, WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA ON THE BASIS OF OUR OVERRIDING LEGITIMATE INTEREST, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THIS PROCESSING WITH EFFECT FOR THE FUTURE ON GROUNDS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION.

IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL CEASE THE PROCESSING OF THE DATA CONCERNED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES.
13) Duration of Storage of Personal Data
The duration of the storage of personal data is determined by the respective legal basis, the processing purpose, and — if applicable — additionally by the respective statutory retention period (e.g. retention periods under commercial and tax law).

If statutory retention periods exist for data processed in the context of legal or quasi-legal obligations on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, this data is routinely deleted after expiry of the retention periods, provided that it is no longer required for the performance of the contract or initiation of the contract, and/or there is no legitimate interest on our part in further storage.
If personal data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, this data is stored until the data subject exercises their right to object under Art. 21 (1) GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or unless the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
If personal data is processed for the purpose of direct advertising on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, this data is stored until the data subject exercises their right to object under Art. 21 (2) GDPR.
Unless otherwise stated in the other information of this declaration on specific processing situations, stored personal data is otherwise deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
