Manage Cookie Settings
The internet pages partly use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective, 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 the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit.
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 generally, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.
Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions desired by you (e.g., shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of their services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your surfing behavior) are stored, these are treated separately in this privacy policy.
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 the server request IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, which permits the processing of data to fulfill a contract or pre-contractual measures.
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 the data entered into the contact form thus takes place exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. A simple notification by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data entered by you in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage ceases to apply (e.g., after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
4. Plugins and Tools
MailPoet
This website uses MailPoet for sending newsletters. The provider is Aut O’Mattic A8C Ireland Ltd. Grand Canal Dock, 25 Herbert Pl, Dublin, D02 AY86 Ireland (hereinafter “MailPoet”).
MailPoet is a service that can be used to organize and analyze the sending of newsletters. The data you enter for the purpose of receiving the newsletter is stored on our servers but sent via MailPoet’s servers, so MailPoet processes your newsletter-related data (MailPoet Sending Service).
Data Analysis by MailPoet
With the help of MailPoet, we are able to analyze our newsletter campaigns. Among other things, we can see whether a newsletter message was opened and which links were clicked. In this way, we can determine, among other things, which links were clicked particularly often.
We can also recognize whether certain predefined actions were carried out after opening/clicking (conversion rate). For example, we can recognize whether you made a purchase after clicking the newsletter.
If you do not want analysis by MailPoet, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a corresponding link for this in every newsletter message.
You can find MailPoet’s privacy policy at: https://www.mailpoet.com/privacy-notice/.
Legal Basis
Data processing takes place on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future.
Storage Period
The data stored by us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after unsubscribing from the newsletter or when the purpose for data storage no longer applies. We reserve the right to delete or block e-mail addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the framework of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.
After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored in a blacklist with us to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
