1. THE REASONS FOR DATA COLLECTION
We collect and process your data so we can make our website available to you and to provide you with the best possible services through the convenient access to our services.
2. WHAT DATA ARE COLLECTED, PROCESSED OR USED?
2.1 VISITING OUR WEBSITE
When you access our webpages, our servers automatically collect general information, especially for the purpose of establishing the connection, the functionality and for system security. The information includes the type of browser used, the operating system used, the domain name of the internet service provider, the connection data of the used computer (IP address), the website from which you are visiting us (referrer URL), the pages that you visit in our website as well as the date and duration of your visit. From these data, we cannot infer the identity of certain persons owing to pseudonymization. These data are not combined with other data sources.
2.2 CONTACT FORM
If you contact us through the contact form, you must include your name and e-mail address in the message you send to us. All the other details are voluntary and therefore you do not have to provide them. The data are stored to process your inquiry and we will not forward them without your consent. We delete the data received in this context after storage is no longer necessary or we limit the processing if legal storage obligations apply. The legal foundation for the processing of your personal data is Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter b) of the GDPR.
2.3 COOKIE USAGE
Our websites and pages use what the industry refers to as “cookies.” Cookies are small data packages that do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or they are permanently archived on your device (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted once you terminate your visit. Permanent cookies remain archived on your device until you actively delete them, or they are automatically eradicated by your web browser.
Cookies can be issued by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services of third-party companies into websites (e.g., cookies for handling payment services).
Cookies have a variety of functions. Many cookies are technically essential since certain website functions would not work in the absence of these cookies (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for promotional purposes.
Cookies, which are required for the performance of electronic communication transactions, for the provision of certain functions you want to use (e.g., for the shopping cart function) or those that are necessary for the optimization (required cookies) of the website (e.g., cookies that provide measurable insights into the web audience), shall be stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless a different legal basis is cited. The operator of the website has a legitimate interest in the storage of required cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of the operator’s services. If your consent to the storage of the cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, the processing occurs exclusively on the basis of the consent obtained (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG); this consent may be revoked at any time.
You have the option to set up your browser in such a manner that you will be notified any time cookies are placed and to permit the acceptance of cookies only in specific cases. You may also exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general or activate the delete-function for the automatic eradication of cookies when the browser closes. If cookies are deactivated, the functions of this website may be limited.
Which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this privacy policy.
2.4 CONSENT MANAGEMENT BY CCM19
CCM19
Our website uses CCM19 to obtain your consent for the storage of certain cookies on your device or for the use of specific technologies and to document the former in a data protection compliant manner. The provider of this technology is Papoo Software & Media GmbH, Auguststr. 4, 53229 Bonn, Germany (hereinafter referred to as “CCM19”).
When you access our website, a connection with the servers of CCM19 is established to obtain your consent and other declarations related to the use of cookies. Subsequently, CCM19 will store a cookie in your browser to be able to allocate the granted consent or revocation. The data generated using this system will be archived by us until you ask us to delete it, delete the CCM19 cookie yourself or the purpose for the archiving of the data no longer applies. This shall be without prejudice to any mandatory statutory archiving periods.
We use CCM19 to obtain the consent mandated by law for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art.6 (1)(1)(f) GDPR.
Data processing
We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) for the use of the above-mentioned service. This is a contract mandated by data privacy laws that guarantees that they process personal data of our website visitors only based on our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
3. DELETION
Personal data are deleted or blocked as soon as the storage purpose no longer applies or you request the deletion. The data are deleted even when the storage period prescribed by the above-mentioned norm expires unless there is a requirement to keep storing the data to conclude or fulfill a contract or you have given your consent for this.
4. DATA SECURITY
We secure our website and other systems by taking technical and organizational measures against loss, destruction, access, change or dissemination of your data by unauthorized persons. Depending on the browser used, data are transmitted with 128-bit to 256-bit SSL encryption. In spite of regular checks and continuous improvement of our security measures, full protection against all dangers is not possible.
5. Google Web Fonts (local)
This site uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. The Google Fonts are installed locally. A connection to Google servers does not take place.
Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?
6. WEB ANALYSIS & DATA COLLECTION
6.1 WEB ANALYSIS BY MATOMO (FORMERLY PIWIK)
On our website, we use the open source software tool Matomo of the provider InnoCraft Ltd., 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand (formerly PIWIK, www.matomo.org) to analyse the surfing behaviour of our users. We are running Matomo without it saving cookies on your device at any time. We solely rely on IP adresses for tracking purposes which are anonymized before being saved in our systems
The software runs here exclusively on our website servers. A storage of the personal data of users only takes place there. The data is never forwarded to third parties .
The software has been set up in such a way that the IP addresses are not fully stored, but 2 bytes of the IP address are masked (example: 192.168.xxx.xxx). This prevents an allocation of the shortened IP address to the accessing computer.
You can object to the data collection and storage at any time with future effect by unchecking the checkbox below:
