Types of data, purposes of processing and categories of data subjects

Below we inform you about the type, scope and purpose of the collection, processing and use of personal data.

1. types of data that we process

Usage data (access times, websites visited etc.), inventory data (name, address etc.), contact data (telephone number, e-mail, fax etc.), payment data (bank data, account data, payment history etc.), contract data (subject of the contract, duration etc.), content data (text input, videos, photos etc.), communication data (IP address etc.), 

2. purposes of processing according to Art. 13 para. 1 c) DS-GVO

Processing of contracts, technical and economic optimization of the website, easy access to the website, optimization and statistical evaluation of our services, support of commercial use of the website, improve user experience, user-friendly website, economic operation of advertising and website, prevention of SPAM and abuse, customer service and customer care, uninterrupted, secure operation of our website, 

3. categories of data subjects pursuant to Art. 13 para. 1 e) DS-GVO 

Visitors/users of the website, customers, interested parties, employees, employees of customers or suppliers, 

The data subjects are collectively referred to as "users".

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

In the following we inform you about the legal basis of the processing of personal data:

If we have obtained your consent for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) DS-GVO is the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, which take place at your request, Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b) DS-GVO is the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject (e.g. legal storage obligations), Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c) DS-GVO is the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. d) DS-GVO is the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to safeguard our interests or the legitimate interests of a third party and your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms do not prevail in this respect, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) DS-GVO is the legal basis.

Disclosure of personal data to third parties and contract processors

Without your consent we do not pass on any data to third parties. Should this nevertheless be the case, then the passing on takes place on the basis of the aforementioned legal bases, e.g. with the passing on of data to on-line payment offerers for the fulfilment of contract or due to judicial arrangement or due to a legal obligation to the publication of the data for the purpose of the criminal prosecution, to the danger defence or to the penetration of the rights at the mental property.

We also use contract processors (external service providers, e.g. for the web hosting of our websites and databases) to process your data. If data is passed on to contract processors within the framework of an agreement on order processing, this is always done in accordance with Art. 28 DS-GVO. We select our contract processors carefully, check them regularly and have been granted the right to issue instructions with regard to the data. In addition, the contract processors must have taken appropriate technical and organisational measures and comply with the data protection regulations according to BDSG n.F. and DS-GVO.

 

Transfer of data to third countries

The adoption of the European Data Protection Basic Regulation (DS-GVO) created a uniform basis for data protection in Europe. Your data will therefore mainly be processed by companies for which the DS-GVO applies. Should the processing take place by services of third parties outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, then DS-GVO will not apply special requirements of Art. 44 et seq. DS-GVO. 

This means that the processing takes place on the basis of special guarantees, such as the official recognition by the EU Commission of a data protection level corresponding to the EU or the observance of officially recognised special contractual obligations, the so-called "standard contractual clauses". For US companies, submission to the so-called "Privacy Shield", the data protection agreement between the EU and the USA, fulfils these requirements.

Deletion of data and storage period

Unless otherwise expressly stated in this data protection declaration, your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for which it was stored no longer applies, unless its further storage is necessary for the purposes of proof or statutory storage obligations stand in the way of this. This includes, for example, obligations under commercial law to retain business letters in accordance with § 257 (1) HGB (6 years) as well as obligations under tax law to retain documents in accordance with § 147 (1) AO (10 years). If the prescribed retention period expires, your data will be blocked or deleted, unless storage is still necessary for the conclusion of a contract or for the fulfilment of the contract.

 

Existence of an automated decision-making process. 

We do not use automatic decision making or profiling.

 

Provision of our website and creation of log files

If you only use our website for information purposes (i.e. no registration and no other transmission of information), we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. If you wish to view our website, we collect the following data: 

- IP address;

- Internet service provider of the user;

- Date and time of access;

- Browser type;

- Language and browser version;

- Content of the retrieval;

- Time zone;

- Access status/HTTP status code;

- Volume of data;

- Websites from which the request comes;

- Operating system.

This information will not be stored with any other personally identifiable information about you.

This data is used for the purpose of user-friendly, functional and secure delivery of our website to you with functions and content as well as its optimisation and statistical evaluation.

The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) DS-GVO, which also lies in the above purposes.

For security reasons, we store these data in server log files for the storage period of days. After expiry of this period, these will be deleted automatically, unless we require their storage for evidence purposes in the event of attacks on the server infrastructure or other legal infringements.

Cookies

1 We use so-called cookies when you visit our website. Cookies are small text files that your Internet browser stores on your computer. When you call up our website again, these cookies provide information to automatically recognise you. The information obtained in this way serves the purpose of technically and economically optimising our web offers and enabling you to access our website more easily and securely. When you access our website, we will inform you about the use of cookies for the aforementioned purposes and how you can object to them or prevent their storage ("opt-out") by means of a reference to our data protection declaration. Our website uses session cookies, persistent cookies and third-party cookies:

- Session cookies: We use so-called cookies to recognize multiple use of an offer by the same user (e.g. if you have logged in to determine your login status). When you call up our site again, these cookies provide information to automatically recognise you. The information obtained in this way is used to optimise our offers and make it easier for you to access our site. When you close your browser or log out, the session cookies are deleted.

 

- Persistent cookies: These are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie. You can delete cookies at any time in the security settings of your browser.

 

- Third-party cookies: Depending on your preferences, you can configure your browser settings to reject, for example, third-party cookies or all cookies. However, we would like to point out at this point that you may not be able to use all the functions of this website. You can read more about these cookies in the respective privacy statements of the third party providers.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. lit. b) DS-GVO, if the cookies are set to initiate a contract, e.g. for orders, and otherwise we have a justified interest in the effective functionality of the website, so that in this case Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f) DS-GVO is the legal basis.

3. objection and "opt-out": You can generally prevent cookies from being saved on your hard disk by selecting "do not accept cookies" in your browser settings. However, this can result in a functional limitation of our offers. You can object to the use of third-party cookies for advertising purposes via an opt-out via this American website (https://optout.aboutads.info) or this European website (http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/).

Contact via contact form / e-mail / mail

1 When contacting us by contact form, post or e-mail, your details will be processed for the purpose of processing the contact request.

2. legal basis for the processing of the data is with the existence of a consent of you art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. a) DS-GVO. The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of a contact enquiry or e-mail or letter is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f) DS-GVO. The person responsible has a justified interest in the processing and storage of the data in order to be able to answer user enquiries, to preserve evidence for reasons of liability and, if necessary, to be able to comply with his legal obligation to store business letters. If the purpose of the contact is to conclude a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) DS-GVO.

We can store your details and contact enquiries in our Customer Relationship Management System ("CRM System") or a comparable system.

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose of their collection. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with you has ended. The conversation ends when the circumstances indicate that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified. We store requests from users who have an account or contract with us for a period of two years after termination of the contract. In the case of legal archiving obligations, the deletion takes place after their expiration: end of commercial (6 years) and tax (10 years) retention obligation.

You have the option at any time to revoke your consent to the processing of personal data in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a) DS-GVO. If you contact us by e-mail, you can object to the storage of your personal data at any time.

Contact by phone

When contacting us by telephone, your telephone number will be processed to process the contact request and its processing and temporarily stored or displayed in the RAM / cache of the telephone device / display. The storage takes place for liability and safety reasons, in order to be able to lead the proof of the call as well as for economic reasons, in order to make a recall possible. In case of unauthorized advertising calls, we block the phone numbers.

Legal basis for the processing of the telephone number is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f) DS-GVO. If the purpose of the contact is to conclude a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) DS-GVO.

The device cache stores the calls for days and successively overwrites or deletes old data; if the device is disposed of, all data is deleted and the memory may be destroyed. Locked telephone numbers are checked annually for the necessity of being locked.

You can prevent the display of the telephone number by calling with the telephone number suppressed.

Newsletter

1 You can subscribe to our newsletter with your voluntary consent by entering your e-mail address. Only this is obligatory. The indication of further data is voluntary and serves only the purpose of a personal address. We use the so-called "double opt-in procedure" for registration. After your registration with your e-mail, you will receive an e-mail from us confirming your registration with a confirmation link. If you click this confirmation link, your e-mail will be included in the newsletter distribution list and saved for the purpose of sending e-mails. If you do not click on the confirmation link within 24 hours, your registration data will be blocked and automatically deleted after 30 days. 

In addition, we log your IP address used for registration as well as the date and time of the double opt-in (registration and confirmation). The purpose of this storage is to comply with legal requirements regarding proof of your registration and to prevent abuse of your e-mail.

Within the scope of your declaration of consent, the contents (e.g. advertised products/services, offers, advertising and topics) of the newsletter are described in concrete terms.

4 We use the following dispatch service provider for e-mail dispatch: 

1&1 (1&1 Telecommunication SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57 56410 Montabaur, Germany), whose privacy policy can be found here https://www.ionos.de/terms-gtc/terms-privacy/ We have concluded an agreement with the shipping service provider on order processing in accordance with Art. 28 DS-GVO.

5 When sending the newsletter, we evaluate your user behaviour. The newsletters contain so-called "web beacons" or "tracking pixels" which are called up when the newsletter is opened. For the evaluations, we link the web beacons with your e-mail address and an individual ID. Links received in the newsletter also contain this ID. The data is collected exclusively under a pseudonym, i.e. the IDs are not linked to your other personal data, a direct personal reference is excluded. With this data we can determine if and when you opened the newsletter and which links were clicked in the newsletter. This serves the purpose of optimising and statistically evaluating our newsletter.

We use the above data to create a user profile in order to identify the reading habits and interests of our users and thus individualise the newsletter. If you have also performed other actions on our website, we also link this data to it in order to adapt our newsletter content to your interests.

7 Legal basis for the newsletter dispatch, performance measurement and storage of the e-mail is your consent according to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a) DS-GVO in conjunction with § 7 Para. 2 No. 3 UWG and for the recording of the consent according to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f) DS-GVO, as this serves our legitimate interest of legal provability.

You can object to tracking at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the end of the newsletter. In this case, however, the receipt of the newsletter would also be terminated. If you deactivate the display of images in your e-mail software, tracking is also not possible. However, this may have restrictions with regard to the functions of the newsletter and the images contained will then not be displayed.

You can revoke your consent to the sending of the newsletter at any time. You can withdraw your consent by clicking on the unsubscribe link at the end of the newsletter, by sending an e-mail or by sending a message to our contact details above. We store your data as long as you have subscribed to the newsletter. After you have unsubscribed, your data will only be stored anonymously for statistical purposes.

We have enabled the personalised ads to provide you with more interesting advertising that supports the commercial use of our site, adds value to us and improves the user experience for you. Personalized advertising allows Adsense to reach users based on their interests and demographics (e.g., "sports enthusiasts").

For these purposes, when you visit our website, Google will receive information that you have visited our website. To do this, Google places a web beacon or cookie on your computer.

Google AdWords Remarketing / Similar Target Groups

We use the Google AdWords Remarketing/"Similar Target Groups" application (Google Ireland Limited, Register No: 368047, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) to serve advertisements on third-party websites and other Internet offerings to draw attention to our website. With the remarketing or "similar target groups" function in AdWords, we can reach you there if you have already visited our website and address you with a suitable message via ad. With remarketing, we can bring our previous visitors back to our website with a single click. When you visit certain pages of our website, a cookie is stored in your browser which is valid for 30 days.

Google Analytics

1. we have integrated the website analysis tool "Google Analytics" (Google Ireland Limited, Register No: 368047, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) into our website.

2 When you visit our website, Google places a cookie on your computer to help us analyse how you use our website. The data collected is transferred to the USA and stored there. If personal data is transferred to the USA, Google's certification in accordance with the Privacy Shield Agreement (https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework) guarantees that the European data protection law is complied with.

We have activated IP anonymisation "anonymizeIP", which means that IP addresses are only processed in a shortened form. On this website, your IP address will therefore be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to and truncated by Google on servers in the United States. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage for the person responsible. In addition, we have activated the cross-device analysis of website visitors, which is carried out via a so-called user ID. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google. The use of Google Analytics serves the purpose of analysing, optimising and improving our website.

The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S.1 lit. f) DS-GVO, which also lies in the above purposes.

Data sent by us and linked to cookies, user identifications (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs are automatically deleted after months. Data whose retention period has been reached is automatically deleted once a month.

6 Further information on data use at Google Analytics can be found here: https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html (Terms of use of Analytics), https://policies.google.com/privacy=en (Notes on data protection at Analytics) and Google's data protection declaration https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de

7. objection and "opt-out": You can generally prevent cookies from being saved on your hard drive by selecting "do not accept cookies" in your browser settings. However, this can result in a functional limitation of our offers. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website and Google from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de=en

As an alternative to the browser plugin above, you can prevent Google Analytics from capturing data by clicking [__here please__insert the Analytics Opt-Out link of your website]. The click sets an "opt-out" cookie that prevents your data from being collected when you visit this website in the future. This cookie is only valid for our website and your current browser and will only last until you delete your cookies. In this case you would have to set the cookie again.

You can deactivate the cross-device user analysis in your Google account under "My data > personal data".

YouTube videos

1 We have included YouTube videos from youtube.com on our website using the embedded function so that they can be accessed directly on our website. YouTube belongs to Google Ireland Limited, Register No: 368047, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. We have integrated the videos in the so-called "extended data protection mode" without using cookies to record the usage behaviour in order to personalise the video playback. Instead, the video recommendations are based on the video currently playing. Videos played in an embedded player in advanced privacy mode will not affect which videos you are recommended to watch on YouTube, and when you start a video (click on the video) YouTube will be notified that you have accessed the appropriate page on our website. The data obtained will be transferred to the USA and stored there. This is also done without a Google user account. If you are logged into your Google account, Google can assign the above data to your account. If you do not wish this, you must log out of your Google account. Google creates user profiles from such data and uses these data for the purpose of advertising, market research or optimisation of its websites.

The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 S.1 lit. f) DS-GVO, which is also included in the above purposes.

You have the right to object to the creation of user profiles vis-à-vis Google. For this reason, please contact Google directly via the data protection declaration mentioned below. An opt-out objection regarding the advertising cookies can be made here in your Google account:

https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated

You will find further information on the use of Google cookies and their advertising technologies, storage time, anonymisation, location data, functionality and your rights in YouTube's Terms of Use at https://www.youtube.com/t/terms and Google's Privacy Policy for Advertising at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads Google's general privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Google is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield (https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework) and is therefore required to comply with European data protection laws.

Google ReCAPTCHA

We have integrated the anti-spam function "reCAPTCHA" of "Google" (Google Ireland Limited, register no.: 368047, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) on our website. By using "reCAPTCHA" in our forms we can determine whether the input was made by a machine (robot) or a human. When using the service, your IP address and any other data required for this may be transmitted to Google servers in the USA.

The purpose of processing this data is to avoid spam and misuse as well as our economic interest in optimizing our website.

The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S.1 lit. f) DS-GVO, which also lies in the above purposes.

4 Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement (https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework). This ensures that the European data protection law is complied with.

Further information on Google ReCAPTCHA can be found at https://www.google.com/recaptcha/ and in Google's privacy policy at: https://www.google.com/recaptcha/

Google Maps

1. we have integrated maps from "Google Maps" (Google Ireland Limited, Register No: 368047, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) on our website. This will allow us to display the location of addresses and directions directly on our website in interactive maps and allow you to use this tool.

When you visit our website, where Google Maps is integrated, a connection will be established to Google's servers in the USA. This may transfer your IP address and location to Google. In addition, Google receives the information that you have visited the corresponding page. This also takes place without a user account with Google. If you are logged into your Google account, Google can assign the above data to your account. If you do not wish this, you must log out of your Google account. Google creates user profiles from such data and uses these data for the purpose of advertising, market research or optimisation of its websites.

The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S.1 lit. f) DS-GVO, which is also included in the above purposes.

You have the right to object to the creation of user profiles vis-à-vis Google. For this reason, please contact Google directly via the data protection declaration mentioned below. An opt-out objection regarding the advertising cookies can be made here in your Google account:

https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated

You will find further information on the use of Google cookies and their advertising technologies, storage time, anonymisation, location data, functionality and your rights in the Google Maps Terms of Use at https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps.html_en/help/terms_maps.html and in the Google Advertising Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads Google's general privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Google is certified according to the EU-US Privacy Shield (https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework) and is therefore obliged to comply with European data protection law.

Presence in social media

1) We maintain profiles or fan pages in social media in order to communicate with the users who are connected and registered there and to inform them about our products, offers and services. The US providers are certified according to the so-called Privacy-Shield and are therefore obliged to observe European data protection. When you use and call up our profile in the respective network, the respective data protection notices and terms of use of the respective network apply.

Social Media Plug-ins

1 We use social media plug-ins from social networks on our website. We use the so-called "two-click solution" Shariff from c't or heise.de. When our website is accessed, no personal data is transmitted to the providers of the plug-ins. In addition to the logo or brand of the social network, you will find a controller with which you can activate the plug-in with a click. After activation, the social network provider receives information that you have accessed our website and that your personal data has been transferred to the plug-in provider and stored there. These are so-called Thirdparty Cookies. With some providers, such as Facebook and XING, your IP address is anonymized immediately after it is collected.

2 The data collected about the user is saved by the plug-in provider as usage profiles. These are used for purposes of advertising, market research and/or for the needs-based design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (also for users who are not logged in) to display demand-oriented advertising and to inform other users of the social network about the user's activities on our website. The user has the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby the respective plug-in provider must be contacted in order to exercise this right.

 

Legal basis for the use of the plug-ins is our legitimate interest in improving and optimizing our website by increasing our awareness through social networks and the possibility of interaction with you and the users among each other via social networks in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S.1 lit. f) DS-GVO.

4 We have no influence on the data collected and data processing procedures. Nor do we have any knowledge of the scope of data collection, the purpose of processing or the storage periods. Nor do we have any information on the deletion of the data collected by the plug-in provider.

5. with regard to the purpose and scope of data collection and processing, we refer to the respective data protection declarations of the social networks. You will also find information on your rights and setting options to protect your personal data.

Facebook

1. we have integrated plug-ins from the social network Facebook.com (company headquarters in the EU: Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland) on our website as part of Shariff's so-called "two-click solution", which you can recognise by the Facebook logo "f" or the suffix "like", "like" or "share".

As soon as you deliberately activate the Facebook plug-in, a connection is established between your browser and the Facebook servers. Facebook receives the information, including your IP address, that you have visited our website and transmits this information to Facebook's servers in the USA, where this information is stored. If you are logged into your Facebook account, Facebook may associate this information with your account. When using the functions of the plug-in, e.g. pressing the "Like" button, this information is also transferred from your browser to the Facebook servers in the USA, where it is stored and displayed in your Facebook profile and, if applicable, with your friends.

The purpose and scope of the data collection and its further processing and use by Facebook as well as your rights and settings in this regard to protect your privacy can be found in Facebook's data protection information: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/ Data collection with the "Like" button: https://www.facebook.com/help/186325668085084 You can manage and object to your settings regarding the use of your profile data for advertising purposes on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/help/186325668085084

If you log out of Facebook before visiting our website and delete your cookies, no data about your visit to our website will be assigned to your profile on Facebook when the plug-in is activated.

You can also prevent the loading of the Facebook plug-in by using so-called "Facebook Blockers", which you can install as an add-on for your browser: Facebook Blocker for Firefox, Chrome and Opera or 1blocker for Safari, iPad and iPhone.

Facebook has submitted to the Privacy Shield to ensure that European data protection laws are respected: https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework

Instagram

We have integrated plug-ins from Instagram social network (Instagram LLC, 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA, 94025, USA) on our website as part of Shariff's so-called "two-click solution". You can recognize this by the Instagram logo in the form of a square camera.

If you intentionally activate the plug-in, a connection will be established from your browser to Instagram's servers. Instagram receives the information, including your IP address, that you have visited our site and transmits the information to Instagram's servers in the USA, where the information is stored. If you are logged into your Instagram account at Instagram, Instagram can assign this information to your account and you can click the Instagram button to share and store the contents of our pages on your Instagram account and, if necessary, display them to your friends there. We have no knowledge of the exact content of the transmitted data, its use and storage duration by Instagram.

 

3. if you log out of Instagram before visiting our website and delete your cookies, when you activate the plug-in, no information about your visit to our website will be associated with your profile on Instagram.

You can find more information in Instagram's privacy policy at https://help.instagram.com/519522125107875 and about privacy settings at https://help.instagram.com/196883487377501
