Unless otherwise specified below, the provision of your personal data is neither required by law or contract, nor is it necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the data. Failure to provide it will have no consequences. This applies only to the extent that no other indication is made in the subsequent processing operations.
"Personal data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
You can visit our websites without providing any personal information.
Every time you access our website, usage data is transmitted to us or our web hoster / IT service provider by your Internet browser and stored in log data (so-called server log files). This stored data includes, for example, the name of the page accessed, the date and time of access, the IP address, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider. The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO from our overriding legitimate interest in ensuring trouble-free operation of our website and to improve our offer.
When using the contact form, we collect your personal data (name, e-mail address, message text) only to the extent provided by you. The data processing serves the purpose of contacting you. By sending your message, you consent to the processing of the transmitted data. The processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO with your consent.
You can revoke your consent at any time by notifying us, without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation. We will only use your e-mail address to process your request. Your data will then be deleted unless you have consented to further processing and use.
We use your e-mail address independently of the contract processing exclusively for our own advertising purposes for sending newsletters, provided you have expressly consented to this. The processing takes place on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR with your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by using the corresponding link in the newsletter or by notifying us. Your e-mail address will then be removed from the mailing list and your data will be passed on to a service provider for e-mail marketing as part of order processing. Your data will not be passed on to any other third parties. Your data will be transferred to a third country for which an adequacy decision has been issued by the European Commission.
We use your e-mail address, which we have received as part of the sale of a product or service, for the electronic transmission of advertising for our own goods or services that are similar to those that you have already purchased from us, unless you have objected to this use. The provision of the e-mail address is necessary for the conclusion of the contract. Failure to provide it means that no contract can be concluded. The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR out of our overriding legitimate interest in direct advertising. You can object to this use of your email address at any time by notifying us. The contact details for exercising your objection can be found in the legal notice. You can also use the link provided for this purpose in the advertising email. This will not incur any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates.

We use the "Custom Audiences" remarketing function of Facebook Inc. (1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA; "Facebook") on our website.

Use of social plug-ins using the "2-click solution"
We use plug-ins of social networks on our website using the "2-click solution". In this case, no connections to the servers of the social networks are established without your express consent and consequently no data is transmitted.
Withthe standard integration of plug-ins, when you call up the pages of our website that contain such a plug-in, a link is established between your computer and the servers of the social network provider and the plug-in is displayed on the page by notifying your browser. In this process, both your IP address and the information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted to the provider servers. This applies regardless of whether you are registered or logged in to the social network. Transmission also takes place for non-registered or non-logged-in users. If you are also logged into the social network Facebook, this information will be assigned to your personal user account. When using the plug-in functions (e.g. by pressing the button), this information is also assigned to your user account, which you can only prevent by logging out before using the plug-in. In order for you to retain control over your data, we have decided to deactivate the corresponding button for the time being. You can recognize this by the grayed-out button. Without your express consent - in the form of activating the button - no link to the social network server will be established and consequently no data will be transmitted.
Only when you activate the button, the button becomes active (highlighted in color) and a direct connection to the servers of the social network is established.
By activating it, you give your consent to the transmission of your data to the respective provider of the social network. Here, among other things, both your IP address and the information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted. If you are connected to one or more of your social network accounts at the same time, the collected information will also be assigned to your corresponding profiles. You can only prevent this assignment by logging out of your user accounts with the social networks before visiting our website and before activating the buttons.
Social networks named below are integrated by means of the "2-click function". For more information on the scope and purpose of the collection and use of data, as well as your rights in this regard and options for protecting your privacy, please refer to the linked data protection notices of the providers.
