1. Access data and hosting
You can visit our websites without giving out any personal information. Every time you access a website, the web server only automatically saves a so-called server log file, which, for example, contains the name of the requested file, your IP address, date and time of access, transferred data volume and the requesting provider (access data) and documents this access.

This access data is evaluated exclusively for the purpose of guaranteeing trouble-free operation of the site and for improving our services. This serves, in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 P. 1 lit. a GDPR , to safeguard our predominantly legitimate interests in correctly presenting our offer as part of a balancing of interests. All access data will be deleted no later than seven days following the end of your page visit.
Third party hosting services: A third party provider renders hosting and website display services for us within the scope of processing on our behalf. This serves to safeguard our predominantly legitimate interests in correctly presenting our offer as part of a balancing of interests. All data collected within the framework of using this website or in the forms provided for this purpose in the online shop as described below will be processed on their servers. Any processing on other servers will only take place within the scope described here. This service provider is located within a country of the European Union or the European Economic Area.

2. Data collection and use for contact purposes
We collect personal data whenever you voluntarily provide us with it when contacting us (e.g. by e-mail). If you use forms provided by us for this purpose, mandatory fields will be marked as such, because in these cases, the data is absolutely necessary for processing your contact and you cannot establish contact without such information. The respective input forms show which data is collected. We use the data provided by you in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 P. 1 lit. a GDPR to process your enquiries. Once your data has been completely processed, it will be subjected to restrictions for further processing and deleted at the end of the retention periods under tax and commercial law, to the extent that you have not expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use your data beyond this, which is legally permitted and about which we inform you in this declaration.

3. E-mail newsletter and postal advertising
a) E-mail advertising with newsletter registration
If you register for our newsletter, we will use the data required for this purpose or provided separately by you in order to send you our e-mail newsletter on a regular basis by virtue of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 P. 1 lit. a GDPR.
You may unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time, either by sending a message to the contact partner mentioned below or by clicking on the link provided in the newsletter. We will delete your e-mail address after you have unsubscribed, provided that you have not expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we will inform you in this declaration.
b) E-mail advertising without newsletter registration and your right of objection
In the event that we receive your e-mail address in connection with the sale of a product or service and you have not objected to this, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for similar products to those already purchased from our product range by e-mail in accordance with § 7 para. 3 of the German Unfair Competition Act (UWG). This serves to safeguard our predominantly legitimate interests in advertising to our customers in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 P. 1 lit. f GDPR as part of a weighing of interests.
You may object to this use of your e-mail address at any time by sending a message to the contact partner mentioned below or via a link provided for this purpose in the advertising mail, whereby no costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic tariffs will be incurred.
The newsletter is sent within the scope of processing on our behalf by a service provider whom we forward your e-mail address to. This service provider is located within a country of the European Union or the European Economic Area.
c) Postal advertising and your right of objection
We also reserve the right to use your first and last name as well as your postal address for our own advertising purposes, e.g. to send interesting offers and information about our products by post. This serves to safeguard our predominantly legitimate interests in advertising to our customers in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 P. 1 lit. f GDPR as part of a weighing of interests.
