SSL or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser's address bar changing from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser's address bar.

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

​

Objection to advertising emails
The use of contact details published in accordance with the imprint obligation to send unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby prohibited. The operators of these pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising information being sent, for example, through spam emails.

2. Data collection on our website
Cookies

Some of our websites use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our service 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 your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies and to only accept cookies on a case-by-case basis, to exclude cookies for specific cases or in general, and to automatically delete cookies when you close your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

​

Cookies that are necessary to carry out electronic communication or to provide certain functions you have requested (e.g., shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your browsing behavior) are stored, these are treated separately in this privacy policy.

Server log files
The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

  • Browser type and version

  • Operating system used

  • Referrer URL

  • Hostname of the accessing computer

  • Time of the server request

  • IP address

This data cannot be assigned to specific individuals. This data will not be merged with other data sources. We reserve the right to subsequently review this data if we become aware of concrete evidence of unlawful use.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, which permits the processing of data to fulfill a contract or to take 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 will not share this data without your consent.

The data entered into the contact form is therefore processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal email notification 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 you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

3. Advertising
Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking

This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising program provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”).

Within Google AdWords, we use so-called conversion tracking. When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that the internet browser stores on the user's computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.

​

Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. These cookies cannot be tracked across AdWords customers' websites. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to compile conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can opt out of this use by easily deactivating the Google Conversion Tracking cookie in your internet browser's user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

Conversion cookies are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising.

​

For more information about Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking, please see Google's privacy policy: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies and to only accept cookies on a case-by-case basis, to exclude cookies for specific cases or generally, and to automatically delete cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

4. Plugins and Tools
OpenStreetMap
We integrate the maps of the "OpenStreetMap" service (https://www.openstreetmap.org), which are offered by the OpenStreetMap Foundation (OSMF) under the Open Data Commons Open Database License (ODbL). Privacy Policy: wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy.

To the best of our knowledge, OpenStreetMap uses user data exclusively for the purpose of displaying map functions and caching the selected settings. This data may include, in particular, users' IP addresses and location data, which, however, are not collected without their consent (usually obtained through the settings of their mobile devices).

YouTube
Our website uses plugins from the YouTube site operated by Google. The site is operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

​

When you visit one of our pages equipped with a YouTube plug-in, a connection to YouTube's servers is established. The YouTube server is informed of which of our pages you have visited.

If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to directly associate your browsing behavior with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

YouTube is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
