Note on data sharing in non-protected third countries under data protection law and on disclosure to U.S. companies that are not DPF-certified

We use, among others, tools from companies based in non-protected third countries, as well as US tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). If these tools are active, your personal data can be transferred to and processed in these countries. We would point out that a level of data protection comparable to the EU cannot be guaranteed in third countries which are uncertain under data protection law.

We would like to point out that the US, as a safe third country, generally enjoys a level of data protection comparable to the EU. Data transfer to the US is allowed if the recipient is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) or has appropriate additional safeguards. Information on transfers to third countries, including data recipients, can be found in this privacy statement.

Recipients of personal data

As part of our business, we work with various external bodies. In some cases, it is also necessary to transfer personal data to these external bodies. We only transfer personal data to external bodies if this is necessary in the context of performance of the contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. passing on data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in disclosure under Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, or if another legal basis allows the data to be shared. When using processors, we share the personal data of our customers only on the basis of a valid contract for order processing. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing contract shall be concluded.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can withdraw any consent already given at any time. The revocation shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of data processing carried out prior to withdrawal.

Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to direct marketing (Article 21 GDPR)

IF THE PROCESSING OF DATA ON THE BASIS OF ARTICLE 6(1)(B) E OR F GDPR HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF THEIR PERSONAL DATA ON GROUNDS RELATING TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THE SAME APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THOSE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH THE PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT. IF THEY OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS THEIR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED, UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING WHICH OUTWEIGH THEIR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR THE PURPOSE OF THE PROCESSING IS FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ARTICLE 21(1) GDPR).

WHERE THEIR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, THEY SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING THEM FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS INCLUDES PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF THEY OBJECT, THEIR PERSONAL DATA WILL THEN NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION UNDER ARTICLE 21(2) OF THE GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of infringements of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right of appeal shall be without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to data portability

You have the right to hand over data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in the performance of a contract, either on your own or to a third party, in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

Access, rectification and deletion

You have the right of access, free of charge, to your personal data, their origin and recipients, the purpose of the processing and, where appropriate, the right to rectification or erasure, within the limits of the applicable legal provisions. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries concerning your personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data. Please do not hesitate to contact us at any time. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

  • If you contest the accuracy of your personal data held by us, we usually need time to verify this. You have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data for the duration of the audit.
  • If the processing of your personal data is unlawful, you may request restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
  • 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 restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
  • If you have lodged an objection under Article 21(1) of the GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and our interests. You have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data pending the determination of the overriding interests of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of any other natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State, except for storage.

SSL or TLS encryption

This page uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or requests you send to us as a side operator. You can tell that a connection is encrypted by the fact that “https://” appears in your browser’s address bar, instead of “http://”, together with the padlock symbol.

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

Opposition to advertising emails

We hereby object to the use of contact details published in the context of the obligation to communicate advertising and information materials which are not specifically requested. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited communication of advertising information, such as spam e-mails.

4. Data collection on this website

Cookies

Our websites use so-called ‘cookies’. Cookies are small data packages and do not harm your terminal. You are stored on your terminal either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies will be automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your terminal until you delete it yourself or automatically delete it by your web browser.

Cookies can come from us (first party cookies) or from third party cookies. Third party cookies allow for the integration of certain third party services within websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have different functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because without them certain web features would not work (e.g. the basket function or the display of videos). Other cookies can be used to evaluate user behaviour or for promotional purposes.

Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide specific functionalities you want (e.g. for the basket function) or to optimise the website (e.g. web audience cookies) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, unless another legal basis is indicated. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically correct and optimised provision of its services. Where consent has been sought to store cookies and comparable re-identification technologies, the processing is carried out solely on the basis of that consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Paragraph 25(1) of the TDDDG); consent may be revoked at any time.

You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, exclude acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. When deactivating cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.

The cookies and services used on this website can be found in this privacy statement.

Real Cookie Banner

Our website uses Real Cookie Banner’s Consent technology to obtain your consent to store certain cookies on your terminal or to use certain technologies and to document this data protection compliant. The supplier of this technology is devowl.io GmbH, Tannet 12, 94539 Grafling (‘Real Cookie Banner’).

Real Cookie Banner is installed locally on our servers, so there is no connection to Real Cookie Banner’s servers. Real Cookie Banner saves a cookie in your browser to link you with the consents given or their withdrawal. The data thus collected will be stored until you request us to erase, delete the real cookie banner cookie itself or no longer have the purpose for data storage. Mandatory statutory record-keeping obligations remain unaffected.

Real cookie banner is used to obtain the consents required by law for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR.

Contact form

If you send us requests via the contact form, your details will be stored from the request form, including the contact details you provide, for the purpose of processing the request and in case of follow-up questions. If you do not give your consent we will not pass on those details to others.

These data are processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, provided that your request relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of requests addressed to us (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR) if this was requested; consent may be revoked at any time.

The data you entered in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete, withdraw your consent for storage or no longer have the purpose for data storage (e.g. once your request has been processed). This is without prejudice to mandatory statutory provisions, in particular retention periods.

Request by e-mail, telephone or fax

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your request, including any personal data (name, request) resulting from it, will be stored and processed for the purpose of dealing with your request. If you do not give your consent we will not pass on those details to others.

These data are processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, provided that your request relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of requests addressed to us (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR) if this was requested; consent may be revoked at any time.

The data you sent to us via contact requests remain with us until you ask us to delete, withdraw your consent for storage or no longer have the purpose for data storage (e.g. once your request has been completed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

5. Social media

This website includes social media icons of the following services and providers:

  • Facebook, a service provided by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, Merrion Road, Dublin 4, D04 X2K5, Ireland
  • Instagram, a service provided by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, Merrion Road, Dublin 4, D04 X2K5, Ireland
  • LinkedIn, a service provided by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland

Social media icons are not plugins but mere links. Therefore, when visiting our website, your personal data will not be transferred to the respective provider. It is only by accessing the link that you can access the relevant webpage/app whose privacy statement applies to data processing via the provider’s website/app.

6. Analytics tools and advertising

Matomo

This website uses the open source web analytics service Matomo.

With the help of Matomo, we are able to collect and analyse data on the use of our website by website visitors. This will allow us to find out, among other things, when page views were made and from which region they come. We also collect different log files (e.g. IP address, referer, browsers used and operating systems) and can measure whether our website visitors carry out certain actions (e.g. clicks, purchases, etc.).

This analytical tool is used on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its web offer and its advertising. Where consent has been sought, processing is carried out solely on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Paragraph 25(1) of the TDDDG, in so far as consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s terminal equipment (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent may be revoked at any time.

IP anonymisation

When analysing with Matomo, we use IP anonymisation. Your IP address will be shortened before the analysis, so you can no longer be clearly assigned to you.

Hosting

We only host Matomo on our own servers, so that all analytical data remain with us and are not shared.

7. Newsletters

Newsletter data

If you wish to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we need an email address and information allowing us to verify that the holder of the email address provided and the receipt of the newsletter agree. Further data are not collected or collected only on a voluntary basis. We use newsletter service providers to manage the newsletters, as described below.

Brevo

This website uses Brevo to send newsletters. The supplier is Sendinblue GmbH, Köpenicker Straße 126, 10179 Berlin, Germany.

Brevo is a service capable of organising and analysing, inter alia, the sending of newsletters. The data you entered for the purposes of the newsletter are stored on the servers of Sendinblue GmbH in Germany.

Analysis of data by Brevo

With the help of Brevo, we can analyse our newsletter campaigns. For example, we can see whether a newsletter has been opened and which links, if any, have been clicked. This will allow us to identify, among other things, which links have been most frequently clicked.

We can also see if certain predefined actions have been carried out after opening/clicking (conversion rate). For example, we can see if you made a purchase after clicking on the newsletter.

Brevo also allows us to divide the newsletter recipients into different categories (‘clusters’). For example, newsletter recipients can be divided by age, gender or place of residence. In this way, the newsletters can be better adapted to the target audiences.

If you do not want Brevo’s analysis, you must unsubscribe. For this purpose, we provide a link in each newsletter message.

For detailed information on Brevo’s functionalities, please consult the following link: https://www.brevo.com/de/newsletter-software/.

Legal

Data processing is carried out on the basis of your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). You can withdraw this consent at any time. The withdrawal shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of data processing operations already carried out.

Storage duration

The data you have deposited with us for the purposes of the newsletter reference will be stored by us until you are posted from the newsletter with us or the newsletter service provider and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list once the newsletter has been removed. This is without prejudice to data stored with us for other purposes.

Once you have been removed from the newsletter distribution list, your email address will be stored in a blacklist with us or the newsletter service provider if necessary to prevent future mailing. Blacklist data are only used for this purpose and are not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). Blacklisting is not limited in time. You may object to storage provided that your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

For more information, see Brevo’s privacy policy at: https://www.brevo.com/de/datenschutz-uebersicht/ and https://www.brevo.com/de/legal/privacypolicy/.

Order Processing

We have concluded a contract for the processing of orders for the use of the above-mentioned service. This is a contract required by data protection law, which ensures that it processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

8. Plugins and tools

YouTube with extended data protection

This website includes videos from the YouTube website. The website is operated by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

If you visit one of these websites where YouTube is involved, you will connect to YouTube’s servers. The YouTube server will be informed of which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged in in your YouTube account, you will allow YouTube to attribute your surfing behaviour directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

We use YouTube in extended data protection mode. According to YouTube, videos played in extended data protection mode are not used to personalise the surfing on YouTube. Displays played in the extended data protection mode are also not personalised. No cookies are set in extended data protection mode. However, instead, so-called local storage elements are stored in the user’s browser, which, like cookies, contain personal data and can be used for re-identification. Details on the extended data protection mode can be found here: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780.

If necessary, further data processing operations may be triggered after the activation of a YouTube video, over which we have no control.

YouTube is used to present our online offers in an attractive way. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Where consent has been sought, processing is carried out solely on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Paragraph 25(1) of the TDDDG, in so far as consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s terminal equipment (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent may be revoked at any time.

For more information on data protection at YouTube, see their privacy statement at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

The company is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the US aimed at ensuring compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the US.

This page uses the Google Maps card service. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. This service allows us to include map material on our website.

In order to use Google Maps’ functionalities, it is necessary to save your IP address. This information is usually transferred to and stored in a Google server in the US. The provider of this page has no influence over this data transfer. If Google Maps is activated, Google can use Google Fonts for the purpose of uniform representation of fonts. When viewing Google Maps, your browser uploads the required web fonts in their browser cache to correctly display texts and fonts.

Google Recaptcha

We use ‘Google Recaptcha’ (‘Recaptcha’) on this website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The purpose of Recaptcha is to check whether the data entry on this website (e.g. in a contact form) is done by a human being or by an automated program. To this end, Recaptcha analyses the behaviour of the website visitor on the basis of various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For analysis, Recaptcha analyses various information (e.g. IP address, duration of the website visitor on the website, or user mouse movements). The data collected in the analysis will be passed on to Google.

The Recaptcha analyses are conducted entirely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that an analysis is taking place.

The data are stored and analysed on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offers against abusive automated spying and SPAM. Where consent has been sought, processing is carried out solely on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Paragraph 25(1) of the TDDDG, in so far as consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s terminal equipment (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent may be revoked at any time.

RSS Feed

This page uses an RSS feed. The supplier is RSS America, LLC. (‘RSS Feed’), 16192 Coastal Highway, Lewes, Delaware 1995, USA.

The use of the RSS feed is carried out solely on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Paragraph 25(1) of the TDDDG, in so far as consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s terminal equipment (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG.

The transfer to that provider in the U.S. is not subject to the authorisation on the basis of an adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards by the recipient in the third country. There are the following risks:

  • No comparable legal protection of personal data, i.e.:
    • Your personal data may be stored, used, transmitted, published or otherwise processed in the third country without any control or influence.
    • Private individuals may then work with your personal data as they wish and create personal profiles, including behaviour and habits. This may place you at a disadvantage, e.g. because you are not able to access certain services because of their profile or are otherwise disadvantaged.
    • Police, public authorities and secret services may have access to personal data without significant legal requirements. This applies not only to more or less reasoned queries for security and law enforcement purposes. Where appropriate, the data will also be used for personal profiling. This may be done not only for law enforcement or law enforcement purposes, but also for detecting unwanted behaviour and/or as a basis for automated decisions for public authorities and private individuals. There is a risk of adverse decisions based on the profile gained, which may be taken without regard to your individual situation.
  • No or no comparable data processing principles, i.e.:
    • There may be no quantitative or qualitative limitations on the necessity to perform the tasks in question. There is therefore a risk that more data than strictly necessary will be processed by you. On the other hand, it is possible that your data may be processed beyond the mere performance of the task (e.g. to satisfy a mere subjective interest).
    • The absence of a purpose limitation is also possible, so that the data you have obtained can be easily used for other purposes without any legal limitation, without the need to ask you beforehand or without the possibility of intervention.
    • Where applicable, there are no or insufficient legal requirements for the security of the processing of personal data. In particular, there is a risk that due to inadequate security measures, your personal data may come to the attention of unauthorised persons, with appropriate economic (e.g. credit card) or personal risks (e.g. loss of reputation). In addition, there is a risk that your data will be destroyed or otherwise irretrievably lost due to inadequate security measures.
    • Where appropriate, there are no or significantly less affected rights. This may mean for you:
      • There may be no or very limited right to information from the processor. In that case, the processor may, where appropriate, refuse to provide information or make it subject to remuneration. Moreover, if there is no legal obligation to provide the information correctly, there is no guarantee that the data will be accurate and complete because the processor does not have to fear any legal penalties.
      • Where appropriate, there are no intervention rights vis-à-vis the processor. Even if you receive information from the processor, this does not mean that you will be able to influence the processing of your data. Important intervention rights are, in particular, the right to rectify, complete or delete your personal data. In the absence of these intervention rights, there is therefore a risk that you will have to refrain from processing, whether not intended or not, because there is no legal remedy against it.
    • Shortcomings in the enforceability of the protection of fundamental rights due to the absence of official supervision and/or judicial or administrative remedies in the third country concerned, i.e.:
      • Where applicable, there is no supervisory authority in the third country in place to supervise the processing of personal data subject to appropriate sanctions and to which data subjects may contact in order to protect their rights.
      • In addition, where applicable, there is no possibility of judicial protection against the processing of your personal data in the third country concerned.

Consent may be withdrawn at any time without giving reasons and without complying with any form with the controller. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of the processing for the period between the granting of consent and the moment of withdrawal. The lawfulness on the basis of consent thus ceases to apply only from the moment of withdrawal.
