​

The controller is the natural person or legal entity that single-handedly or jointly with others makes

decisions as to the purposes of and resources for the processing of personal data (e.g. names, e-mail

addresses, etc.).

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.

Encrypted payment transactions on this website

If you are under an obligation to share your payment information (e.g. account number if you give us the

authority to debit your bank account) with us after you have entered into a fee-based contract with us, this

information is required to process payments.

Payment transactions using common modes of paying (Visa/MasterCard, debit to your bank account) are

processed exclusively via encrypted SSL or TLS connections. 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 communication with us is encrypted, third parties will not be able to read the payment information you

share with us.

Information about, blockage, 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, blocked 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.

3. Recording of data on our 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 other cookies (e.g. cookies for the analysis of your

browsing patterns) should be stored, they are addressed separately in this Data Protection Declaration.

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.

Hence, the processing of the data entered into the contact form occurs exclusively based on your consent

(Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR). You have the right to 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.

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.

Processing of data (customer and contract data)

We collect, process and use personal data only to the extent necessary for the establishment, content

organization or change of the legal relationship (data inventory). These actions are taken on the basis of Art.

6 Sect. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual

actions. We collect, process and use personal data concerning the use of our website (usage data) only to the

extent that this is necessary to make it possible for users to utilize the services and to bill for them.

The collected customer data shall be eradicated upon completion of the order or the termination of the

business relationship. This shall be without prejudice to any statutory retention mandates.

Data transfer upon closing of contracts for online stores, retailers and the shipment of

merchandise

We share personal data with third parties only if this is necessary in conjunction with the handling of the

contract; for instance, with companies entrusted with the shipment of goods or the financial institution

tasked with the processing of payments. Any further transfer of data shall not occur or shall only occur if you

have expressly consented to the transfer. Any sharing of your data with third parties in the absence of your

express consent, for instance for advertising purposes, shall not occur.

The basis for the processing of data is Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the

fulfilment of a contract or for pre-contractual actions.

Our website uses the analysis service etracker. The provider of this service is the etracker GmbH, Erste

Brunnenstraße 1, 20459 Hamburg, Germany. It makes it possible to generate a user profile under a

pseudonym based on the data. Cookies may be used to achieve this. Cookies are small text files that are

locally archived in the temporary drive of your Internet browser. These cookies allow us to recognise your

browser when you return to the site. Data collected with the etracker technologies shall not be used in the

absence of a separate declaration of consent given by the data subject to personally identify users of our

website and shall not be merged with personal data about the holder of the pseudonym.

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

​

The storage of the etracker 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.

​

You may object to the collection and archiving of data at any time, which shall affect all future transactions.
