data protection

The collection and use of your data is carried out strictly in accordance with the requirements of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG) as well as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

We feel particularly committed to the confidentiality of your personal data and therefore work strictly within the limits that the legal requirements set for us. This personal data is collected on a voluntary basis if this is possible for us. We also only pass this data on to third parties with your express consent. We ensure a high level of security for particularly confidential data, such as your inquiries to us, by using SSL encryption. However, we would like to take this opportunity to point out the general dangers of using the Internet, over which we have no influence. Especially in e-mail traffic, your data is not secure without further precautions and may be recorded by third parties.

Cookies

Some of the websites use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offering more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and that your browser saves. Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”. They will be automatically deleted at the end of 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 set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are: browser type and browser version, operating system used, referrer URL, host name of the accessing computer, time of the server request. These files cannot be assigned to specific persons. This data will not be merged with other data sources. We reserve the right to subsequently check this data if we become aware of specific indications of illegal use.

You have the right at any time to receive free information about the personal data we have stored about you as well as the origin, recipient and purpose of data collection and data processing.

In the context of data avoidance and data economy, we only collect personal data to the extent and for as long as it is necessary to use our website or as required by law. We take the protection of your personal data seriously and strictly adhere to the relevant legal regulations and this data protection declaration when collecting and processing personal data. If the purpose of data collection no longer applies or the end of the statutory storage period has been reached, the data collected will be blocked or deleted. Our website can be used regularly without disclosing personal data. If we collect personal data – such as your name, address or email address – this data collection is voluntary.

Data protection regulations for PayPal as a payment method

PayPal is integrated on this website. PayPal is an online payment service provider, payments are processed via so-called PayPal accounts. PayPal also assumes trustee functions and offers buyer protection services.

The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.rl & Cie. SCA, 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.

If the data subject selects “PayPal” as a payment option during the ordering process in our online shop, the data of the data subject will automatically be transmitted to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, the data subject agrees to the transfer of personal data required for payment processing. The personal data transmitted to PayPal is usually first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number or other data required for payment processing. In order to process the purchase contract, personal data that is related to the respective order is also necessary. The purpose of transmitting the data is to process payments and prevent fraud. PayPal may pass on personal data to third parties such as credit reporting agencies for identity and creditworthiness checks or, if necessary, to affiliated companies and service providers or subcontractors, to the extent that this is necessary to fulfill contractual obligations or the data is to be processed on behalf of the customer.

The data subject has the option to revoke their consent to the handling of personal data at any time from PayPal. A revocation does not affect personal data that must be processed, used or transmitted for (contractual) payment processing. PayPal's applicable data protection regulations can be found at https://www.paypal.com/de/weba...

Google AdWords

On our website, we use Google AdWords, an online advertising program from Google Inc. Conversion tracking is also used. With this tool, Google AdWords places a cookie on your PC if you access our website via a Google advertisement. The cookie is no longer valid after 30 days. It is not used for personal traceability. If you as a user visit our website and the cookie is still working, we will be able to see, together with Google, that you have clicked on the relevant ad and have been redirected to our site. Each Google AdWords customer is assigned a different cookie. In this way, cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. Conversion statistics for AdWords customers are created with the data collected by conversion cookies. As customers, we find out the total number of users who responded to our ad and were then directed to a website that was provided with a conversion tracking tag. During this process we do not receive any information with which we could personally identify you as a user. If you reject the tracking process, the Google conversion tracking cookie can be deactivated via your Internet browser. If necessary, use the browser's help function for further information. You can find out more about Google's data protection regulations at http://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.

Google Maps plugin

We have no knowledge of the exact content of the data transmitted or how it is used by Google. In this context, the company denies the connection of the data with information from other Google services and the collection of personal data.

Facebook plugins (Like button)

Plugins from the social network Facebook, provider Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA, are integrated on our website. You can recognize the Facebook plugins by the Facebook logo or the “Like button” (“I like”) on our site. You can find an overview of the Facebook plugins here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.

When you visit our pages, a direct connection is established between your browser and the Facebook server via the plugin.

SSL encryption

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

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

We use the free “Let's Encrypt” service for https encryption (TLS) on this Jimdo website.

Objection to advertising emails

As part of the statutory imprint obligation, we must publish our contact details. These are sometimes used by third parties to send unwanted advertising and information. We hereby object to any sending of advertising material of any kind that we have not expressly authorized. We also expressly reserve the right to take legal action against the unwanted and unsolicited sending of advertising material. This applies in particular to so-called spam e-mails, spam letters and spam faxes. We would like to point out that the unauthorized transmission of advertising material can affect competition law, civil law and criminal law. Spam e-mails and spam faxes in particular can lead to high claims for damages if they disrupt business operations by overflowing mailboxes or fax machines.

Information on data processing in connection with Google Analytics

If the person responsible for data processing on this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, then Google Analytics data processing is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are hereinafter referred to as “Google”.

Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", text files which are stored on the computer of the site visitor and which enable an analysis of the use of the website by the site visitor. The information generated by the cookie about the use of this website by the site visitor (including the shortened IP address) is usually transmitted to a Google server and stored there.

Google Analytics is used exclusively with the “_anonymizeIp()” extension on this website. This extension ensures that the IP address is anonymized by shortening it and excludes any direct personal reference. As a result of the extension, Google's IP address will be shortened beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by the relevant browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

On behalf of the site operator, Google will use the information collected to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the site operator (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The legitimate interest in data processing lies in optimizing this website, analyzing how the website is used and adapting the content. The interests of the users are sufficiently protected by pseudonymization.

The data sent and linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs are automatically deleted after 50 months. The deletion of data whose retention period has been reached occurs automatically once a month.

The collection by Google Analytics can be prevented by the site visitor adjusting the cookie settings for this website. The collection and storage of the IP address and the data generated by cookies can also be objected to at any time with effect for the future. The corresponding browser plugin can be downloaded and installed from the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout .

reCAPTCHA

To protect your requests via internet forms, we use the reCAPTCHA service from Google LLC (Google). The query serves to distinguish whether the input is made by a human or abusively by automated, machine processing. The query includes sending the IP address and any other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose, your input will be transmitted to Google and used there. However, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCaptcha will not be merged with other Google data. The deviating data protection regulations of the company Google apply to this data.
