Data recording on this website

Who is the respon­si­ble par­ty for the record­ing of data on this web­site (i.e. the „con­troller“)?

The data on this web­site is processed by the oper­a­tor of the web­site, whose con­tact infor­ma­tion is avail­able under sec­tion „Infor­ma­tion Required by Law“ on this website.

How do we record your data?

We col­lect your data as a result of your shar­ing of your data with us. This may, for instance be infor­ma­tion you enter into our con­tact form.

Our IT sys­tems auto­mat­i­cal­ly record oth­er data when you vis­it our web­site. This data com­pris­es pri­mar­i­ly tech­ni­cal infor­ma­tion (e.g. web brows­er, oper­at­ing sys­tem or time the site was accessed). This infor­ma­tion is record­ed auto­mat­i­cal­ly when you access this website.

What are the pur­pos­es we use your data for?

A por­tion of the infor­ma­tion is gen­er­at­ed to guar­an­tee the error free pro­vi­sion of the web­site. Oth­er data may be used to analyse your user patterns.

What rights do you have as far as your infor­ma­tion is concerned?

You have the right to receive infor­ma­tion about the source, recip­i­ents and pur­pos­es of your archived per­son­al data at any time with­out hav­ing to pay a fee for such dis­clo­sures. You also have the right to demand that your data are rec­ti­fied or erad­i­cat­ed. Please do not hes­i­tate to con­tact us at any time under the address dis­closed in sec­tion „Infor­ma­tion Required by Law“ on this web­site if you have ques­tions about this or any oth­er data pro­tec­tion relat­ed issues. You also have the right to log a com­plaint with the com­pe­tent super­vis­ing agency.

More­over, under cer­tain cir­cum­stances, you have the right to demand the restric­tion of the pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data. For details, please con­sult the Data Pro­tec­tion Dec­la­ra­tion under sec­tion „Right to Restric­tion of Data Processing.“

Analysis tools and tools provided by third parties

There is a pos­si­bil­i­ty that your brows­ing pat­terns will be sta­tis­ti­cal­ly analysed when your vis­it this web­site. Such analy­ses are per­formed pri­mar­i­ly with cook­ies and with what we refer to as analy­sis pro­grammes. As a rule, the analy­ses of your brows­ing pat­terns are con­duct­ed anony­mous­ly; i.e. the brows­ing pat­terns can­not be traced back to you.

You have the option to object to such analy­ses or you can pre­vent their per­for­mance by not using cer­tain tools. For detailed infor­ma­tion about the tools and about your options to object, please con­sult our Data Pro­tec­tion Dec­la­ra­tion below.

2. Hosting

External Hosting

This web­site is host­ed by an exter­nal ser­vice provider (host). Per­son­al data col­lect­ed on this web­site are stored on the servers of the host. These may include, but are not lim­it­ed to, IP address­es, con­tact requests, meta­da­ta and com­mu­ni­ca­tions, con­tract infor­ma­tion, con­tact infor­ma­tion, names, web page access, and oth­er data gen­er­at­ed through a web site.

3. General information and mandatory information

Data protection

The oper­a­tors of this web­site and its pages take the pro­tec­tion of your per­son­al data very seri­ous­ly. Hence, we han­dle your per­son­al data as con­fi­den­tial infor­ma­tion and in com­pli­ance with the statu­to­ry data pro­tec­tion reg­u­la­tions and this Data Pro­tec­tion Declaration.

When­ev­er you use this web­site, a vari­ety of per­son­al infor­ma­tion will be col­lect­ed. Per­son­al data com­pris­es data that can be used to per­son­al­ly iden­ti­fy you. This Data Pro­tec­tion Dec­la­ra­tion explains which data we col­lect as well as the pur­pos­es we use this data for. It also explains how, and for which pur­pose the infor­ma­tion is collected.

We here­with advise you that the trans­mis­sion of data via the Inter­net (i.e. through e‑mail com­mu­ni­ca­tions) may be prone to secu­ri­ty gaps. It is not pos­si­ble to com­plete­ly pro­tect data against third par­ty access.

Revocation of your consent to the processing of data

A wide range of data pro­cess­ing trans­ac­tions are pos­si­ble only sub­ject to your express con­sent. You can also revoke at any time any con­sent you have already giv­en us. To do so, all you are required to do is sent us an infor­mal noti­fi­ca­tion via e‑mail. This shall be with­out prej­u­dice to the law­ful­ness of any data col­lec­tion that occurred pri­or to your revocation.

Right to object to the collection of data in special cases; right to object to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

IN THE EVENT THAT DATA ARE PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6 SECT. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA BASED ON GROUNDS ARISING FROM YOUR UNIQUE SITUATION. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO ANY PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. TO DETERMINE THE LEGAL BASIS, ON WHICH ANY PROCESSING OF DATA IS BASED, PLEASE CONSULT THIS DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION. IF YOU LOG AN OBJECTION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE ARE IN A POSITION TO PRESENT COMPELLING PROTECTION WORTHY GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA, THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR IF THE PURPOSE OF THE PROCESSING IS THE CLAIMING, EXERCISING OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL ENTITLEMENTS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 SECT. 1 GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BEING PROCESSED IN ORDER TO ENGAGE IN DIRECT ADVERTISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSES OF SUCH ADVERTISING. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS AFFILIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 SECT. 2 GDPR).

Right to log a complaint with the competent supervisory agency

In the event of vio­la­tions of the GDPR, data sub­jects are enti­tled to log a com­plaint with a super­vi­so­ry agency, in par­tic­u­lar in the mem­ber state where they usu­al­ly main­tain their domi­cile, place of work or at the place where the alleged vio­la­tion occurred. The right to log a com­plaint is in effect regard­less of any oth­er admin­is­tra­tive or court pro­ceed­ings avail­able as legal recourses.

Right to data portability

You have the right to demand that we hand over any data we auto­mat­i­cal­ly process on the basis of your con­sent or in order to ful­fil a con­tract be hand­ed over to you or a third par­ty in a com­mon­ly used, machine read­able for­mat. If you should demand the direct trans­fer of the data to anoth­er con­troller, this will be done only if it is tech­ni­cal­ly feasible.

SSL and/or TLS encryption

For secu­ri­ty rea­sons and to pro­tect the trans­mis­sion of con­fi­den­tial con­tent, such as pur­chase orders or inquiries you sub­mit to us as the web­site oper­a­tor, this web­site uses either an SSL or a TLS encryp­tion pro­gramme. You can recog­nise an encrypt­ed con­nec­tion by check­ing whether the address line of the brows­er switch­es from „http://“ to „https://“ and also by the appear­ance of the lock icon in the brows­er line.

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

Information about, rectification and eradication of data

With­in the scope of the applic­a­ble statu­to­ry pro­vi­sions, you have the right to at any time demand infor­ma­tion about your archived per­son­al data, their source and recip­i­ents as well as the pur­pose of the pro­cess­ing of your data. You may also have a right to have your data rec­ti­fied or erad­i­cat­ed. If you have ques­tions about this sub­ject mat­ter or any oth­er ques­tions about per­son­al data, please do not hes­i­tate to con­tact us at any time at the address pro­vid­ed in sec­tion „Infor­ma­tion Required by Law.“

Right to demand processing restrictions

You have the right to demand the impo­si­tion of restric­tions as far as the pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data is con­cerned. To do so, you may con­tact us at any time at the address pro­vid­ed in sec­tion „Infor­ma­tion Required by Law.“ The right to demand restric­tion of pro­cess­ing applies in the fol­low­ing cases:

• In the event that you should dis­pute the cor­rect­ness of your data archived by us, we will usu­al­ly need some time to ver­i­fy this claim. Dur­ing the time that this inves­ti­ga­tion is ongo­ing, you have the right to demand that we restrict the pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data.
• If the pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data was/is con­duct­ed in an unlaw­ful man­ner, you have the option to demand the restric­tion of the pro­cess­ing of your data in lieu of demand­ing the erad­i­ca­tion of this data.
• If we do not need your per­son­al data any longer and you need it to exer­cise, defend or claim legal enti­tle­ments, you have the right to demand the restric­tion of the pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data instead of its eradication.
• If you have raised an objec­tion pur­suant to Art. 21 Sect. 1 GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be weighed against each oth­er. As long as it has not been deter­mined whose inter­ests pre­vail, you have the right to demand a restric­tion of the pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data.

If you have restrict­ed the pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data, these data – with the excep­tion of their archiv­ing – may be processed only sub­ject to your con­sent or to claim, exer­cise or defend legal enti­tle­ments or to pro­tect the rights of oth­er nat­ur­al per­sons or legal enti­ties or for impor­tant pub­lic inter­est rea­sons cit­ed by the Euro­pean Union or a mem­ber state of the EU.

Rejection of unsolicited e‑mails

We here­with object to the use of con­tact infor­ma­tion pub­lished in con­junc­tion with the manda­to­ry infor­ma­tion to be pro­vid­ed in sec­tion „Infor­ma­tion Required by Law“ to send us pro­mo­tion­al and infor­ma­tion mate­r­i­al that we have not express­ly request­ed. The oper­a­tors of this web­site and its pages reserve the express right to take legal action in the event of the unso­licit­ed send­ing of pro­mo­tion­al infor­ma­tion, for instance via SPAM messages.

4. Recording of data on this website

Cookies

In some instances, our web­site and its pages use so-called cook­ies. Cook­ies do not cause any dam­age to your com­put­er and do not con­tain virus­es. The pur­pose of cook­ies is to make our web­site more user friend­ly, effec­tive and more secure. Cook­ies are small text files that are placed on your com­put­er and stored by your browser.

Most of the cook­ies we use are so-called „ses­sion cook­ies.“ They are auto­mat­i­cal­ly delet­ed after your leave our site. Oth­er cook­ies will remain archived on your device until you delete them. These cook­ies enable us to recog­nise your brows­er the next time you vis­it our website.

You can adjust the set­tings of your brows­er to make sure that you are noti­fied every time cook­ies are placed and to enable you to accept cook­ies only in spe­cif­ic cas­es or to exclude the accep­tance of cook­ies for spe­cif­ic sit­u­a­tions or in gen­er­al and to acti­vate the auto­mat­ic dele­tion of cook­ies when you close your brows­er. If you deac­ti­vate cook­ies, the func­tions of this web­site may be limited.

Cook­ies that are required for the per­for­mance of the elec­tron­ic com­mu­ni­ca­tions trans­ac­tion or to pro­vide cer­tain func­tions you want to use (e.g. the shop­ping cart func­tion), are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR. The web­site oper­a­tor has a legit­i­mate inter­est in stor­ing cook­ies to ensure the tech­ni­cal­ly error free and opti­mised pro­vi­sion of the operator’s ser­vices. If a cor­re­spond­ing agree­ment has been request­ed (e.g. an agree­ment to the stor­age of cook­ies), the pro­cess­ing takes place exclu­sive­ly on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the agree­ment can be revoked at any time.

If oth­er cook­ies (e.g. cook­ies for the analy­sis of your brows­ing pat­terns) should be stored, they are addressed sep­a­rate­ly in this Data Pro­tec­tion Declaration.

Cookie Consent with Borlabs Cookie

Our web­site uses the Bor­labs cook­ie con­sent tech­nol­o­gy to obtain your con­sent to the stor­age of cer­tain cook­ies in your brows­er and for their data pri­va­cy pro­tec­tion com­pli­ant doc­u­men­ta­tion. The provider of this tech­nol­o­gy is Bor­labs — Ben­jamin A. Born­schein, Georg-Wil­helm-Str. 17, 21107 Ham­burg, Ger­many (here­inafter referred to as Borlabs).

When­ev­er you vis­it our web­site, a Bor­labs cook­ie will be stored in your brows­er, which archives any dec­la­ra­tions or revo­ca­tions of con­sent you have entered. These data are not shared with the provider of the Bor­labs technology.

The record­ed data shall remain archived until you ask us to erad­i­cate them, delete the Bor­labs cook­ie on your own or the pur­pose of stor­ing the data no longer exists. This shall be with­out prej­u­dice to any reten­tion oblig­a­tions man­dat­ed by law. To review the details of Bor­labs’ data pro­cess­ing poli­cies, please vis­it https://​de​.bor​labs​.io/​k​b​/​w​e​l​c​h​e​-​d​a​t​e​n​-​s​p​e​i​c​h​e​r​t​-​b​o​r​l​a​b​s​-​c​o​o​k​ie/

We use the Bor­labs cook­ie con­sent tech­nol­o­gy to obtain the dec­la­ra­tions of con­sent man­dat­ed by law for the use of cook­ies. The legal basis for the use of such cook­ies is Art. 6 Sect. 1 Sen­tence 1 lit. c GDPR.

Server log files

The provider of this web­site and its pages auto­mat­i­cal­ly col­lects and stores infor­ma­tion in so-called serv­er log files, which your brows­er com­mu­ni­cates to us auto­mat­i­cal­ly. The infor­ma­tion comprises:

• The type and ver­sion of brows­er used
• The used oper­at­ing system
• Refer­rer URL
• The host­name of the access­ing computer
• The time of the serv­er inquiry
• The IP address

This data is not merged with oth­er data sources.

This data is record­ed on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR. The oper­a­tor of the web­site has a legit­i­mate inter­est in the tech­ni­cal­ly error free depic­tion and the opti­miza­tion of the operator’s web­site. In order to achieve this, serv­er log files must be recorded.

Contact form

If you sub­mit inquiries to us via our con­tact form, the infor­ma­tion pro­vid­ed in the con­tact form as well as any con­tact infor­ma­tion pro­vid­ed there­in will be stored by us in order to han­dle your inquiry and in the event that we have fur­ther ques­tions. We will not share this infor­ma­tion with­out your consent.

The pro­cess­ing of these data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, if your request is relat­ed to the exe­cu­tion of a con­tract or if it is nec­es­sary to car­ry out pre-con­trac­tu­al mea­sures. In all oth­er cas­es the pro­cess­ing is based on our legit­i­mate inter­est in the effec­tive pro­cess­ing of the requests addressed to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) or on your agree­ment (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO) if this has been requested.

The infor­ma­tion you have entered into the con­tact form shall remain with us until you ask us to erad­i­cate the data, revoke your con­sent to the archiv­ing of data or if the pur­pose for which the infor­ma­tion is being archived no longer exists (e.g. after we have con­clud­ed our response to your inquiry). This shall be with­out prej­u­dice to any manda­to­ry legal pro­vi­sions – in par­tic­u­lar reten­tion periods.

Request by e‑mail, telephone or fax

If you con­tact us by e‑mail, tele­phone or fax, your request, includ­ing all result­ing per­son­al data (name, request) will be stored and processed by us for the pur­pose of pro­cess­ing your request. We do not pass these data on with­out your consent.

The pro­cess­ing of these data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, if your request is relat­ed to the exe­cu­tion of a con­tract or if it is nec­es­sary to car­ry out pre-con­trac­tu­al mea­sures. In all oth­er cas­es, the pro­cess­ing is based on your con­sent (Arti­cle 6 (1) a GDPR) and/or on our legit­i­mate inter­ests (Arti­cle 6 (1) (f) GDPR), since we have a legit­i­mate inter­est in the effec­tive pro­cess­ing of requests addressed to us.

The data sent by you to us via con­tact requests remain with us until you request us to delete, revoke your con­sent to the stor­age or the pur­pose for the data stor­age laps­es (e.g. after com­ple­tion of your request). Manda­to­ry statu­to­ry pro­vi­sions — in par­tic­u­lar statu­to­ry reten­tion peri­ods — remain unaffected.

5. Analysis tools and advertising

Matomo (formerly called Piwik)

This web­site uses the open source web analy­sis ser­vice Mato­mo. Mato­mo uses so-called „cook­ies,“ which are text files that are stored on your com­put­er and that make it pos­si­ble to analyse your use of this web­site. In con­junc­tion with this, the infor­ma­tion about the use of this web­site gen­er­at­ed by the cook­ie will be archived on our serv­er. Pri­or to archiv­ing, the IP address will first be anonymized.

Mato­mo cook­ies will remain on your device until you delete them.

The stor­age of Mato­mo cook­ies and the use of this analy­sis tool are based on Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR. The web­site oper­a­tor has a legit­i­mate inter­est in the analy­sis of user pat­terns, in order to opti­mize the operator’s web offer­ings and adver­tis­ing. If a cor­re­spond­ing agree­ment has been request­ed (e.g. an agree­ment to the stor­age of cook­ies), the pro­cess­ing takes place exclu­sive­ly on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the agree­ment can be revoked at any time.

The infor­ma­tion gen­er­at­ed by cook­ies con­cern­ing the use of this web­site shall not be shared with any third par­ties. You may pre­vent the stor­age of cook­ies at any time by mak­ing per­ti­nent changes to your brows­er soft­ware set­tings; how­ev­er, we have to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all of the func­tions of this web­site to their fullest extent.

If you do not con­sent to the stor­age and use of your data, you have the option to deac­ti­vate the stor­age and use of such data here. In this case, an opt out cook­ie will be placed in our brows­er, which pre­vent the stor­age of usage data by Mato­mo. If you delete your cook­ies, this will also result in the dele­tion of the Mato­mo opt out cook­ie. Hence, you will have to reac­ti­vate the opt out when you return to vis­it this website.

6. Plug-ins and Tools

Google Maps (with consent)

This web­site uses Google Maps, a mapping/location ser­vice, via an API. The provider is Google Ire­land Lim­it­ed („Google“), Gor­don House, Bar­row Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

To war­rant data pro­tec­tion on this web­site, you will find that Google Maps has been deac­ti­vat­ed when you vis­it this web­site for the first time. A direct con­nec­tion to Google’s servers will not be estab­lished until you have acti­vat­ed Google Maps autonomous­ly at your end (i.e. giv­en your con­sent pur­suant to Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR). This will pre­vent the trans­fer of your data to Google dur­ing your first vis­it to our website.

Once you have acti­vat­ed the ser­vice, Google Maps will store your IP address. As a rule, it is sub­se­quent­ly trans­ferred to a Google serv­er in the Unit­ed States, where it is stored. The provider of this web­site does not have any con­trol over this data trans­fer once Google Maps has been activated.

For more infor­ma­tion about the han­dling of user data, please con­sult the Data Pri­va­cy Dec­la­ra­tion of Google under the fol­low­ing link: https://​www​.google​.de/​i​n​t​l​/​d​e​/​p​o​l​i​c​i​e​s​/​p​r​i​v​a​cy/.

Google reCAPTCHA

We use „Google reCAPTCHA“ (here­inafter referred to as „reCAPTCHA“) on this web­site. The provider is Google Ire­land Lim­it­ed („Google“), Gor­don House, Bar­row Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The pur­pose of reCAPTCHA is to deter­mine whether data entered on this web­site (e.g. infor­ma­tion entered into a con­tact form) is being pro­vid­ed by a human user or by an auto­mat­ed pro­gram. To deter­mine this, reCAPTCHA analy­ses the behav­iour of the web­site vis­i­tors based on a vari­ety of para­me­ters. This analy­sis is trig­gered auto­mat­i­cal­ly as soon as the web­site vis­i­tor enters the site. For this analy­sis, reCAPTCHA eval­u­ates a vari­ety of data (e.g. IP address, time the web­site vis­i­tor spent on the site or cur­sor move­ments ini­ti­at­ed by the user). The data tracked dur­ing such analy­ses are for­ward­ed to Google.

reCAPTCHA analy­ses run entire­ly in the back­ground. Web­site vis­i­tors are not alert­ed that an analy­sis is underway.

The data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR. It is in the web­site oper­a­tors legit­i­mate inter­est, to pro­tect the operator’s web con­tent against mis­use by auto­mat­ed indus­tri­al espi­onage sys­tems and against SPAM.

For more infor­ma­tion about Google reCAPTCHA please refer to the Google Data Pri­va­cy Dec­la­ra­tion and Terms Of Use under the fol­low­ing links: https://​poli​cies​.google​.com/​p​r​i​v​a​c​y​?​h​l​=en and https://​poli​cies​.google​.com/​t​e​r​m​s​?​h​l​=en.
