Privacy Policy

1. Overview of Data Protection

Introduction

This section provides a concise summary of how your personal information is handled when you access this website. Personal data refers to all data that can be used to identify you personally. For detailed information about our data protection practices, please read the complete privacy policy sections below.

Data Collection on This Website

Who is responsible for data collection on this website?

The website operator is responsible for data processing on this platform. Contact information for the responsible party can be found in the "Information About the Responsible Party" section of this privacy policy.

What methods do we use to collect your information?

Information is collected in two main ways: first, when you voluntarily provide us with data, for example when filling out a contact form or submitting an inquiry.

Additionally, certain information is collected automatically or after your explicit consent when you browse our website through our technical systems. This primarily includes technical information (such as your internet browser type, operating system, or the time you accessed pages). This technical data is collected immediately upon your arrival on our website.

How is your information used?

Some of the collected data helps ensure that our website functions properly and without errors. Additional information may be used to investigate how visitors interact with our website.

What rights do you have regarding your information?

You have the right to receive free information at any time about the origin, recipients, and purpose of your stored personal data. Furthermore, you can request the correction or deletion of this data. If you have previously consented to data processing, you can revoke this consent at any time for the future. Under certain conditions, you also have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.

You also have the right to file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. We are happy to answer your questions about data protection and are available for discussions about your concerns.

2. Website Hosting and Content Delivery

Third-Party Hosting Services

This website uses hosting services provided by an external service provider. All personal information collected through this website is stored on servers managed by our hosting provider. This stored information may include IP addresses, contact form submissions, metadata and communication records, contract information, contact details, names, website access logs, and other data generated through website interactions.

We use hosting services to fulfil our contractual obligations to potential and existing customers (pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR) and to ensure secure, fast, and efficient provision of our online services by a professional provider (pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

Our hosting provider processes your information only to the extent necessary to fulfil its service obligations and adheres to our instructions regarding this information.

3. Essential Information and Legal Requirements

Security of Personal Information

The website operators place great importance on protecting your personal information. We treat your personal information with the strictest confidentiality and in accordance with applicable data protection laws and the provisions of this privacy policy.

While you use this website, we collect various types of personal information. Personal information refers to all data that enables your individual identification. This privacy policy describes the types of information we collect, how we use it, and the methods and purposes behind this collection.

Please note that the transmission of information over the internet (e.g., when sending emails) can have security gaps. Absolute protection of information against unauthorised access by third parties cannot be guaranteed.

Information About the Responsible Party

The responsible party refers to the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (such as names, email addresses, or similar data).

Storage Duration

Unless a more specific storage period is mentioned within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you submit a valid deletion request or revoke consent for data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will occur after these reasons no longer apply.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and Against Direct Advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE, OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 1 GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 2 GDPR).

Complaint to the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a structured, common, and machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another responsible party, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

SSL or TLS Encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

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

Information, Deletion, and Correction

Within the framework of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient, and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
• If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balancing of your and our interests must be carried out. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data may only be processed—apart from their storage—with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

4. Data Collection on This Website

Cookies

Our internet pages use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small text files and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or an automatic deletion by your web browser occurs.

In some cases, cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your device when you enter our site (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain services of the third-party company (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies are used to evaluate user behaviour or display advertising.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Server Log Files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Hostname of the accessing computer
• Time of server request
• IP address

A combination of this data with other data sources is not carried out.

The collection of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website—for this purpose, the server log files must be collected.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions—in particular retention periods—remain unaffected.

Inquiry by Email, Telephone, or Fax

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

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested.

The data you send to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions—in particular statutory retention periods—remain unaffected.

5. Social Media

Social Media Functions

This website may integrate functions of various social media platforms. If you visit pages that contain social media functions, a connection to the servers of the respective social media provider may be established.

We use social media plugins on this website only if you have explicitly consented. Without your consent, no information will be transmitted to social media platform operators.

6. Analysis Tools and Advertising

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyse the behaviour of website visitors. The website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, duration of visit, operating systems used, and origin of the visitor. This data may be summarised by Google in a profile assigned to a user or their device.

We use Google Analytics on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour to optimise both its web offering and its advertising. If a corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.

7. Newsletter

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address and agree to receive the newsletter. Further data is not collected or is only collected on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form is carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). The consent given for the storage of the data, the email address, and their use for sending the newsletter can be revoked at any time, for example via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The lawfulness of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

8. Plugins and Tools

YouTube

This website uses plugins from the YouTube website. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

When you visit one of our pages equipped with a YouTube plugin, a connection to YouTube's servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited.

Furthermore, YouTube may store various cookies on your device or use comparable recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting). In this way, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user experience, and prevent fraud attempts.

We use YouTube in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.

Further information on how YouTube handles user data can be found in YouTube's privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

This data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in knowing which links on our website lead to completed transactions so that we can receive appropriate commissions.
