Privacy Policy
Who is responsible for data collection on this website?
The website operator is responsible for processing the data collected on this website. The operator’s contact details are provided in the website’s legal notice.
We use some data to ensure the website functions properly. Other data helps us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it.
When you visit our website, your browsing behaviour may be analysed using cookies and analytics tools. This analysis is generally anonymous, encrypted, or pseudonymized, which means it cannot usually be used to identify you directly. You can object to this analysis or prevent it by disabling certain tools. Further details are provided below.
We take the protection of your personal data seriously. We treat your personal data as confidential and process it in accordance with applicable data protection laws and this privacy policy.
When you use this website, we collect various types of personal data. Personal data is any information that can identify you. This privacy policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and the purpose of that collection.
Please note that data transmitted over the internet, for example by email, may be vulnerable to security breaches. Complete protection against third-party access cannot be guaranteed.
The party responsible for processing data on this website is identified in the legal notice.
The responsible party is the natural or legal person who decides, alone or jointly with others, how and why personal data is processed.
Many data processing activities require your express consent. You may withdraw that consent at any time with future effect by sending an informal email request. Processing carried out before your request remains lawful.
If you believe your data protection rights have been breached, you may lodge a complaint with the relevant regulatory authority.
You have the right to receive data that we process on the basis of your consent or to perform a contract in a standard, machine-readable format. You may also request that we transfer this data directly to another responsible party where technically feasible.
If you enter into a contract that requires payment details, such as an account number for direct debits, we need this information to process your payment.
Payments made using standard methods such as Visa, MasterCard, or direct debit are processed only through encrypted SSL or TLS connections. You can identify a secure connection by the "https://" prefix in your browser’s address bar and the padlock icon.
When this encryption is active, the payment information you send to us cannot be read by third parties.
As permitted by law, you may request free information about the personal data we store about you, including its origin, recipients, and purpose. You may also request that your data be corrected, restricted, or deleted. If you have questions about personal data, you can contact us at any time using the address in the legal notice.
We prohibit the use of contact details published in our legal notice for sending unsolicited promotional or informational material. We reserve the right to take legal action against anyone who sends unsolicited advertising, including spam emails.
Some of our web pages use cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies." They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain in your device's memory until you delete them. These cookies make it possible to recognize your browser when you next visit the site.
You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept or reject a cookie. Alternatively, your browser can be configured to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or to always reject them, or to automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies which are necessary to allow electronic communications or to provide certain functions you wish to use (such as the shopping cart) are stored pursuant to Art. 6 paragraph 1, letter f of the EU DSGVO/GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies to ensure an optimized service provided free of technical errors. If other cookies (such as those used to analyse your surfing behaviour) are also stored, they will be treated separately in this privacy policy.
The website provider automatically collects and stores information that your browser automatically transmits to us in "server log files". These are:
Browser type and browser version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Hostname of the accessing computer
Time of server request
IP address
This data will not be combined with data from other sources.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) of the EU DSGVOGDPR, which allows the processing of data to fulfil a contract or for measures preliminary to a contract.
If you contact us using the website form, we will collect the information you enter, including your contact details, so we can respond to your enquiry and any follow-up questions. We do not share this information without your permission.
We will, therefore, process any data you enter in the contact form only with your consent per Art. 6 (1) (a) of the EU DSGVOGDPR. You may revoke your consent at any time. An informal email making this request is sufficient. Data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.
We will retain the data you provide in the contact form until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer pertains (e.g. after fulfilling your request). Any mandatory statutory provisions, especially those regarding mandatory data retention periods, remain unaffected by this provision.
We collect, process, and use personal data only insofar as it is necessary to establish, or modify legal relationships with us (master data). This is done based on Art. 6 (1) (b) of the EU DSGVOGDPR, which allows the processing of data to fulfil a contract or for measures preliminary to a contract. We collect, process and use your personal data when accessing our website (usage data) only to the extent required to enable you to access our service or to bill you for the same.
Collected customer data shall be deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship. Legal retention periods remain unaffected.
We transmit personally identifiable data to third parties only to the extent required to fulfil the terms of your contract, for example, to companies entrusted to deliver goods to your location or banks entrusted to process your payments. Your data will not be transmitted for any other purpose unless you have given your express permission to do so. Your data will not be disclosed to third parties for advertising purposes without your express consent.

This website uses the open-source web analytics service Matomo. Matomo uses so-called "cookies". These are text files that are stored on your computer and that allow an analysis of the use of the website by you. For this purpose, the information generated by the cookie about the use of this website is stored on our server. The IP address is anonymized before it is stored.
Matomo cookies remain on your device until you delete them.
Matomo cookies are stored under Art. 6(1)(f) of the EU DSGVO/GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour to improve the website and its advertising.
The information generated by the cookies about your use of this website will not be disclosed to third parties. You can prevent these cookies being stored by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. However, we wish to point out that doing so may mean you will not be able to enjoy the full functionality of this website.
If you do not agree with the storage and use of your data, you can disable this feature here. In this case, an opt-out cookie will be stored in your browser to prevent Matomo from storing your usage data. If you delete your cookies, this will mean that the opt-out cookie will also be deleted. You will then need to reactivate it when you return to our site if you wish your activity not to be tracked.
If you would like to receive our newsletter, we require a valid email address as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address and that you agree to receive this newsletter. No additional data is collected or is only collected on a voluntary basis. We only use this data to send the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.
We will, therefore, process any data you enter in the contact form only with your consent per Art. 6 (1) (a) of the EU DSGVOGDPR. You can revoke consent to the storage of your data and email address as well as their use for sending the newsletter at any time, e.g. through the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.
The data provided when registering for the newsletter will be used to distribute the newsletter until you cancel your subscription when said data will be deleted. Data we have stored for other purposes (e.g. email addresses for the members area) remain unaffected.
