Privacy policy
We are pleased that you are visiting our website and thank you for your interest! Protecting your privacy when using our website is important to us, so please note the following information about how we handle your data:
1) Basic information on handling personal data
You can visit our website without providing any personal information. Every time our website is accessed, usage data is transmitted by the respective Internet browser and stored in log files, the so-called server log files, such as the date and time of access, the name of the page accessed, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person and is used exclusively to ensure trouble-free operation of our website and to improve our offering.
Personal data is collected if you voluntarily provide it to us to execute a contract or when opening a customer account. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. It is possible to delete your customer account at any time and can be done by sending a message to the contact option described below. We store and use the data you provide to process the contract. After the contract has been fully processed or your customer account has been deleted, your data will be blocked in consideration of tax and commercial law retention periods and will be deleted after these periods have expired, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to further use your data as permitted by law which we will inform you about below.
When you contact us (e.g. via contact form or email), personal data is collected. Which data is collected in the case of a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively to answer your request or to contact you and the associated technical administration. Your data will be deleted after your request has been processed, provided you request this and there are no legal retention obligations to prevent deletion.
2) Transfer of personal data for order processing
The personal data we collect will be passed on to the transport company commissioned with the delivery as part of the contract processing, to the extent that this is necessary to deliver the goods.
3) Cookies
In order to make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use so-called cookies on various pages. These are small text files that are stored on your device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted after the end of the browser session, i.e. after you close your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your device and enable us or our partner companies to recognize your browser on your next visit (persistent cookies). You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and decide individually whether to accept them or exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general. If you do not accept cookies, the functionality of our website may be restricted.
4) Use of social plugins
4.1 Our website uses so-called social plugins (“plugins”) from the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). You can find an overview of the Facebook plugins and their appearance here:https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins
In order to increase the protection of your data when you visit our website, the plugins are integrated into the site using a so-called “2-click” or “Shariff” solution. This integration ensures that when you access a page on our website that contains such plugins, no connection is established with the Facebook servers. Only when you activate the plugins and thereby give your consent to the data transmission will your browser establish a direct connection to the Facebook servers. The content of the respective plugin is transmitted directly to your browser and integrated into the page. The plugin then transmits data (including your IP address) to Facebook. We have no influence on the amount of data that Facebook collects using the plugins. As far as we know, Facebook receives information about which of our websites you have currently and previously accessed. By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page on our website even if you do not have a profile on Facebook or are not currently logged in. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted from your browser directly to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the “Like” button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. The information is also published on Facebook and displayed there to your contacts.
The purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook as well as your related rights and setting options to protect your privacy can be found in Facebook's data protection information at http://www.facebook.com/policy.php
If you are a member of the Facebook social network and would like to limit the collection of data via our websites and the merging of your user data with the data stored about you on the Facebook social network, you should log out of Facebook before visiting our website. You can also completely prevent the Facebook plugins from loading in the future with add-ons for your browser, for example with the script blocker “NoScript” (http://noscript.net/).
4.2 Our website uses so-called social plugins (“plugins”) from the online service Instagram, which is operated by Instagram LLC., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA (“Instagram”). The plugins are marked with an Instagram logo, for example in the form of an “Instagram camera”. You can find an overview of the Instagram plugins and their appearance here:http://blog.instagram.com/post/36222022872/introducing-instagram-badges.
If you access a page on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to Instagram's servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly to your browser by Instagram and integrated into the page. Through this integration, Instagram receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page on our website, even if you do not have an Instagram profile or are not currently logged in to Instagram. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted from your browser directly to an Instagram server in the USA and stored there.
If you are logged in to Instagram, Instagram can directly assign your visit to our website to your Instagram account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the “Instagram camera” button, this information is also transmitted directly to an Instagram server and stored there. The information will also be published on your Instagram account and shown to your contacts there.
The purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Instagram as well as your related rights and setting options to protect your privacy can be found in Instagram's data protection information:https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388/.
If you do not want Instagram to directly assign the data collected via our website to your Instagram account, you must log out of Instagram before visiting our website. You can also completely prevent the Instagram plugins from loading with add-ons for your browser, e.g. B. with the script blocker “NoScript” (http://noscript.net/).
5) Use of videos (e.g. Youtube, Vimeo)
This website uses the YouTube embedding function to display and play videos from the provider “Youtube”. The extended data protection mode is used here, which, according to the provider, only starts saving user information when the video(s) are played. If the playback of embedded YouTube videos is started, the provider “YouTube” uses cookies to collect information about user behavior. According to information from “YouTube”, these serve, among other things, to record video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent abusive behavior. Regardless of whether the embedded videos are played, every time this website is accessed, a connection to the Google “DoubleClick” network is established, which can trigger further data processing operations without our influence.
Further information on data protection at “YouTube” can be found in the provider’s data protection declaration at:https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/
