2.2 Access data

We collect information about you when you use this website. We automatically collect information about your usage patterns and your interaction with us and register information about your computer or mobile device. We collect, store and use data about each access to our website (server log files). The access data includes:

  • Name and URL of the retrieved file
  • Date and time of retrieval

  • Internet service provider of the user
  • IP address and the requesting provider

We use this log data without allocation to your person or other profiling for statistical evaluations for the purpose of operating, security and optimisation of our website, but also for anonymous recording of the number of visitors to our website (traffic) and for the scope and type of use of our website and services, as well as for billing purposes to measure the number of clicks received from cooperation partners. This information enables us to provide personalized and location-based content and to analyze traffic, troubleshoot and correct errors, and improve our services.

This is also our legitimate interest pursuant to art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

We reserve the right to subsequently check the log data if there is a justified suspicion of illegal use on the basis of concrete indications. We store IP addresses in the log files for a limited period of time if this is necessary for security purposes or for the provision or billing of a service, e.g. if you use one of our services. After aborting the order process or after receipt of payment, we delete the IP address if it is no longer required for security purposes. We also store IP addresses if we have a concrete suspicion of a criminal offence in connection with the use of our website. We also save the date of your last visit as part of your account (e.g. when registering, logging in, clicking links, etc.).

2.3 Cookies

We use so-called session cookies to optimize our website. A session cookie is a small text file that is sent by the respective servers when you visit a website and stored temporarily on your hard drive. This file as such contains a so-called session ID, which can be used to assign various requests from your browser to the shared session. This allows your computer to be recognised when you return to our website. These cookies are deleted after you close your browser.

To a small extent, we also use persistent cookies (also small text files that are stored on your terminal device) that remain on your terminal device and enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit. These cookies are stored on your hard drive and delete themselves after the given time. Their service life is 1 month to 10 years. This enables us to present our services to you in a more user-friendly, effective and secure manner and, for example, to display information on the site that is specifically tailored to your interests.

Our legitimate interest in the use of cookies pursuant to art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR is to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure.

The following data and information are stored in the cookies:

  • log-in information
  • language settings
  • keywords entered
  • Information about the number of visits to our website and use of individual functions of our website.

When the cookie is activated, it is assigned an identification number and your personal data is not assigned to this identification number. Your name, IP address or similar data that would enable the cookie to be assigned to you will not be placed in the cookie. On the basis of cookie technology, we only receive pseudonymised information, such as which pages of our website have been visited, which offers have been viewed, etc.

You can set your browser so that you are informed in advance when cookies are set and can decide on a case-by-case basis whether you wish to exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general, or whether cookies should be prevented completely. This may limit the functionality of the website.

If the data processing is carried out for the purpose of pre-contractual measures, which take place at your request, or, if you are already our customer, to carry out the contract, the legal basis for this data processing is art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Otherwise, we process your personal data on the basis of our legitimate interest in answering your questions pursuant to art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

2.5 Further services of our website

2.5.1 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (‘Google’). Google Analytics uses ‘cookies’, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about the use of this website by our visitors is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

This is also our legitimate interest pursuant to art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

We have activated IP anonymization on this website (anonymizeIp). This will cause Google to shorten your IP address previously within member states of the European Union or other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

You can also prevent the transmission to Google of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

2.5.2 Google Maps

On this website we use the offer of Google Maps. This allows us to display interactive maps directly on the website and allows you to conveniently use the map function.

By visiting the website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, the access data mentioned above in this declaration will be transmitted, in particular the IP address. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account that you are logged in to or whether there is no user account. When you’re logged in to Google, your information will be directly associated with your account. If you do not want your profile to be associated with Google, you must log out before activating the button.

Google stores your data as user profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or the design of its website in line with requirements. Such evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide demand-oriented advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact Google to exercise this right.

For further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by Google please refer to Google’s privacy policy. There you will also find further information on your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

Google has signed and certified a privacy shield agreement with the European Union and the United States. By doing so, Google is committed to complying with the standards and regulations of European data protection law. Further information can be found in the following linked entry: https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

Our legitimate interest in the use of Google Maps pursuant to art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR is to provide you with a better user experience by embedding a clearly arranged city map.

Google and we are jointly responsible (‘joint controllership’) pursuant to art. 26 GDPR. We have concluded a corresponding joint controllership agreement with Google.

Otherwise, by using Google Maps you enter into a direct usage relationship with Google.

2.5.3 Google Web Fonts

On our website we use ‘Google Web Fonts’, a service of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter referred to as: ‘Google’). Google Web Fonts allows us to use external fonts, called Google Fonts. When you access our website, the required Google font is loaded from your web browser into your browser cache for this purpose. This is necessary so that your browser can display an optically improved display of our texts. If your browser does not support this feature, a standard font will be used by your computer to display it. The integration of these Web Fonts takes place by a server call, usually a server of Google in the USA. This transmits to the server which page of our website you have visited including esp. Your IP address.

Our legitimate interest pursuant to art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR is to use the Google Web Fonts for optimisation purposes, in particular to improve the use of the website for you and to make it more user-friendly.

3. Storage period

Unless specifically stated, we will only store personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected.

In some cases, the legislator provides for the retention of personal data, for example in tax or commercial law. In these cases, the data will only be stored by us for these legal purposes, but will not be processed elsewhere and deleted after the expiry of the legal retention period. The legal basis for this processing is art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

Below you will find an overview of your rights.

4.1 Right to confirmation and information

In a number of cases, we may be required to delete personal information about you.

4.4 Right to limitation of processing

In a number of cases, you have the right to ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data.

In exercising your right to data transfer in accordance with paragraph 1, you have the right to obtain that the personal data be transmitted directly by us to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible.

4.6 Right of objection

You also have the right to object to the lawful processing of your personal data by us if this is justified by your particular situation and if our interests in the processing do not outweigh yours.

In detail:

You have the right, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you on the basis of art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

5. Data security

We make every effort to ensure the security of your data within the framework of the applicable data protection laws and technical possibilities.

Your personal data will be transmitted encrypted. We use the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) coding system, but point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.

To secure your data, we maintain technical and organisational security measures in accordance with art. 32 GDPR, which we continually adapt to the state of the art. The servers we use are regularly and carefully backed up.

6. Passing on data to third parties, no data transfer to non-EU countries

In principle, we use your personal data only within our company.

If and to the extent that we involve third parties in the performance of contracts (e.g. logistics service providers), these third parties will only receive personal data to the extent that the transmission is necessary for the corresponding service.

In the event that we outsource certain parts of our data processing (‘contract data processing’), we contractually require processors to use personal data only in accordance with the requirements of data protection laws and to protect the rights of the data subject.

A data transfer to places or persons outside the EU does not take place and is not planned.
