Pri­va­cy Policy

Gene­ral:

We take the careful hand­ling of your per­so­nal data very serious­ly. We strict­ly adhe­re to the data pro­tec­tion regu­la­ti­ons of the Data Pro­tec­tion Act (DSG) and the Gene­ral Data Pro­tec­tion Regu­la­ti­on (EU-DSGVO) when coll­ec­ting, pro­ces­sing and using your data. Below you will learn more about how we hand­le your per­so­nal data. 

Data Coll­ec­tion:

Our pri­va­cy poli­cy appli­es, among other things, to the use of the cont­act form and the news­let­ter on this web­site. The cont­act form on our web­site offers inte­res­ted per­sons the oppor­tu­ni­ty to cont­act us or inter­act with us. If you pro­vi­de us with per­so­nal data via the cont­act form, we will use your per­so­nal data to ans­wer your inquiry. When you regis­ter for the news­let­ter, your e‑mail address will be used for our own adver­ti­sing pur­po­ses until you unsub­scri­be from the news­let­ter. You can unsub­scri­be from the news­let­ter at any time.

What is Per­so­nal Data:

Per­so­nal data is any infor­ma­ti­on about a data sub­ject that iden­ti­fies or makes iden­ti­fia­ble the data sub­ject. Infor­ma­ti­on can be any infor­ma­ti­on that can be asso­cia­ted or brought into con­nec­tion with a per­son, such as your name, address, e‑mail address, date of birth. We only request that you pro­vi­de the per­so­nal infor­ma­ti­on that we abso­lut­e­ly need to ful­fill the order. The data pro­vi­ded will only be used to ful­fill the order. We will not other­wi­se trans­mit the data to third par­ties unless this is neces­sa­ry to car­ry out an inquiry or service. 

Use of Ser­vice Providers:

In addi­ti­on to our own employees, access to your per­so­nal data is also limi­t­ed to employees of addi­tio­nal ser­vice pro­vi­ders, if neces­sa­ry to ful­fill the order. Our employees, as well as employees of all com­mis­sio­ned ser­vice pro­vi­ders, are bound to sec­re­cy and are obli­ga­ted to hand­le per­so­nal data with care.

Data Secu­ri­ty:

We secu­re our web­site and other sys­tems against loss, des­truc­tion, access, modi­fi­ca­ti­on or dis­tri­bu­ti­on of your data through tech­ni­cal and orga­niza­tio­nal mea­su­res and take exten­si­ve secu­ri­ty mea­su­res to pro­tect your data from unwan­ted access.

Ser­ver-Log­files: 

When you visit our web­site, we store the fol­lo­wing data (so-cal­led ser­ver log files) for the pur­po­se of sys­tem and data secu­ri­ty, which your Inter­net brow­ser trans­mits to us or to our web space pro­vi­der:
— Brow­ser type and ver­si­on
— Ope­ra­ting sys­tem used
— Web­site from which you visit us “refer­rer URL”
— Web­site you visit
— Date and time of your access
— Your Inter­net Pro­to­col (IP) address
This anony­mous data is stored sepa­ra­te­ly from any per­so­nal data you may have pro­vi­ded and does not allow any con­clu­si­ons to be drawn about a spe­ci­fic per­son. It is eva­lua­ted for sta­tis­ti­cal pur­po­ses in order to opti­mi­ze our web­site and our offers.

Coo­kies:

Our web­site uses coo­kies. Coo­kies are small text files that make it pos­si­ble to store cer­tain infor­ma­ti­on about you and your user beha­vi­or on our web­site on your end device (e.g. PC, smart­phone, tablet). Coo­kies allow us to impro­ve the user-fri­end­li­ne­ss of our web­site, opti­mi­ze our web­site and ensu­re the func­tion­a­li­ty of our web­site. You can allow or pre­vent the sto­rage of coo­kies yours­elf in most brow­sers. Howe­ver, plea­se note that dis­ab­ling coo­kies may limit the func­tion­a­li­ty of our web­site. You can dele­te coo­kies that are alre­a­dy stored on your end device at any time via the set­tings in your brow­ser. The first time you visit our web­site, we will inform you about the use of coo­kies. By cli­cking on the “Accept” but­ton in this noti­ce or by con­ti­nuing to brow­se our web­site, you agree to the use of cookies.

Goog­le Ana­ly­tics: 

Our web­site uses Goog­le Ana­ly­tics, a web ana­ly­tics ser­vice pro­vi­ded by Goog­le Inc. (“Goog­le”). Goog­le Ana­ly­tics uses “coo­kies”, which are text files pla­ced on your com­pu­ter, to help ana­ly­ze web­site usa­ge. The infor­ma­ti­on gene­ra­ted by the coo­kie about your use of this web­site is usual­ly trans­mit­ted to a Goog­le ser­ver in the USA and stored the­re. Howe­ver, within mem­ber sta­tes of the Euro­pean Uni­on or in other con­trac­ting sta­tes of the Agree­ment on the Euro­pean Eco­no­mic Area, your IP address will be trun­ca­ted by Goog­le pri­or to trans­mis­si­on. Only in excep­tio­nal cases will the full IP address be trans­mit­ted to a Goog­le 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 other services to the web­site ope­ra­tor rela­ted to web­site and inter­net usa­ge. The IP address trans­mit­ted by your brow­ser as part of Goog­le Ana­ly­tics will not be mer­ged with other Goog­le data. You can pre­vent the sto­rage of coo­kies by set­ting your brow­ser soft­ware accor­din­gly. Howe­ver, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all func­tions of this web­site to their full ext­ent. You can also pre­vent Goog­le from coll­ec­ting the data gene­ra­ted by the coo­kie and rela­ted to your use of the web­site (inclu­ding your IP address) and from pro­ces­sing this data by Goog­le by down­loa­ding and instal­ling the brow­ser plug­in available under the fol­lo­wing link (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en). You can find more infor­ma­ti­on about the terms of use and data pro­tec­tion at https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/gb/ or at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies.

Goog­le AdWords:

Our web­site uses the online adver­ti­sing pro­gram “Goog­le AdWords” and, as part of Goog­le AdWords, con­ver­si­on track­ing. Goog­le Con­ver­si­on Track­ing is an ana­ly­sis ser­vice pro­vi­ded by Goog­le Inc. (“Goog­le”). When you click on an ad ser­ved by Goog­le, a con­ver­si­on track­ing coo­kie is pla­ced on your com­pu­ter. The­se coo­kies have a limi­t­ed vali­di­ty, do not con­tain any per­so­nal data and are the­r­e­fo­re not used for per­so­nal iden­ti­fi­ca­ti­on. If you visit cer­tain pages on our web­site and the coo­kie has not expi­red, Goog­le and we may reco­gni­ze that you cli­cked on the ad and were direc­ted to that page. Each Goog­le AdWords cus­to­mer recei­ves a dif­fe­rent coo­kie. This means that coo­kies can­not be tra­cked across the web­sites of other AdWords cus­to­mers. The infor­ma­ti­on coll­ec­ted using the con­ver­si­on coo­kie is used to gene­ra­te con­ver­si­on sta­tis­tics for AdWords cus­to­mers who have opted for con­ver­si­on track­ing. AdWords cus­to­mers see the total num­ber of users who cli­cked on their ad and were direc­ted 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 track­ing, you can object to this use by pre­ven­ting the instal­la­ti­on of coo­kies by set­ting your brow­ser soft­ware accor­din­gly (deac­ti­va­ti­on opti­on). You will then not be included in the con­ver­si­on track­ing sta­tis­tics. By visi­ting our web­site, you agree to this pro­ce­du­re. You can find fur­ther infor­ma­ti­on and the Goog­le pri­va­cy poli­cy at: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies.

Use of Goog­le Remarketing:

This web­site uses the remar­ke­ting func­tion of Goog­le Inc. (“Goog­le”). This func­tion is used to pre­sent visi­tors to the web­site with inte­rest-based adver­ti­sing within the Goog­le adver­ti­sing net­work. The web­site visitor’s brow­ser stores so-cal­led “coo­kies”, text files that are stored on their com­pu­ter and that enable the visi­tor to be reco­gni­zed when they visit web­sites that belong to the Goog­le adver­ti­sing net­work. On the­se pages, the visi­tor can then be pre­sen­ted with adver­ti­se­ments that rela­te to con­tent that the visi­tor has pre­vious­ly view­ed on web­sites that use the Goog­le remar­ke­ting func­tion. Accor­ding to its own state­ments, Goog­le does not coll­ect any per­so­nal data during this pro­cess. If you do not want Goog­le Remar­ke­ting, you can gene­ral­ly deac­ti­va­te it by making the appro­pria­te set­tings at https://www.google.com/settings/ads. Alter­na­tively, you can deac­ti­va­te the use of coo­kies for inte­rest-based adver­ti­sing via the Net­work Adver­ti­sing Initia­ti­ve by fol­lo­wing the ins­truc­tions at https://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp. You can find more infor­ma­ti­on about Goog­le Remar­ke­ting and the Goog­le pri­va­cy poli­cy at https://www.google.com/privacy/ads.

Face­book-Pixel

We use the Face­book pixel from Face­book on our web­site. For this pur­po­se, we have imple­men­ted a code on our web­site. The Face­book pixel is a snip­pet of Java­Script code that loads a coll­ec­tion of func­tions that allow Face­book to track your user actions if you have come to our web­site via Face­book ads. For exam­p­le, if you purcha­se a pro­duct on our web­site, the Face­book pixel will fire and store your actions on our web­site in one or more coo­kies. The­se coo­kies allow Face­book to match your user data (cus­to­mer data such as IP address, user ID) with the data of your Face­book account. Face­book then dele­tes this data again. The data coll­ec­ted is anony­mous and not visi­ble to us and is only used for the pur­po­se of adver­ti­sing. If you are a Face­book user and are log­ged in, your visit to our web­site will auto­ma­ti­cal­ly be assi­gned to your Face­book user account. We want to show our services or pro­ducts only to tho­se peo­p­le who are real­ly inte­res­ted in them. With the help of the Face­book pixel, our adver­ti­sing mea­su­res can be bet­ter tail­o­red to your wis­hes and inte­rests. This way, Face­book users (if they have allo­wed per­so­na­li­zed adver­ti­sing) will see rele­vant adver­ti­sing. Face­book also uses the coll­ec­ted data for ana­ly­sis pur­po­ses and its own adver­ti­sing. If you are log­ged in to Face­book, you can chan­ge your set­tings for adver­ti­sing yours­elf at https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen. If you are not a Face­book user, you can gene­ral­ly mana­ge your usa­ge-based online adver­ti­sing at https://www.youronlinechoices.com. The­re you have the pos­si­bi­li­ty to deac­ti­va­te or acti­va­te pro­vi­ders. If you want to learn more about Facebook’s pri­va­cy poli­cy, we recom­mend that you read the company’s own data poli­cy at https://www.facebook.com/policy.php.
