When using our website for purely informational purposes—that is, if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information—we only collect data that your browser transmits to the site server (so-called “server log files”).

The data will not be passed on or used in any other way. However, we reserve the right to check the server log files retrospectively should there be concrete indications of illegal use.2.2 For security reasons and to protect the transmission of personal data and other confidential content (e.g., orders or inquiries to us), this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the character string "https://" and the lock symbol in your browser line.
3)< Hosting & Content Delivery Network/h2>
For the hosting of our website and the display of the page content, we use a provider that provides its services itself or through selected sub-contractors exclusively on servers within the European Union.
All data collected on our website is processed on these servers.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
4) Cookies
In order to make the visit to our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use cookies, i.e., small text files that are stored on your end device. Some of these cookies are automatically deleted after closing the browser (so-called "session cookies"), some of these cookies remain on your end device longer and enable the saving of page settings (so-called "persistent cookies"). In the latter case, you can find the storage duration in the overview of the cookie settings of your web browser.
If personal data is also processed by individual cookies used by us, the processing takes place in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR either for the execution of the contract, in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR in the case of consent given, or in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website as well as a customer-friendly and effective design of the site visit.

5) Contacting Us
5.1 WhatsApp Business
We offer you the possibility to contact us via the WhatsApp messaging service of WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. For this purpose, we use the so-called "Business Version" of WhatsApp.
If you contact us via WhatsApp on the occasion of a specific business transaction (for example, an order placed), we store and use the mobile phone number you use on WhatsApp and – if provided – your first and last name in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b. GDPR to process and answer your request. On the basis of the same legal basis, we may ask you via WhatsApp to provide further data (order number, customer number, address, or email address) in order to be able to assign your inquiry to a specific process.
If you use our WhatsApp contact for general inquiries (e.g., about the range of services, availability, or our website), we store and use the mobile phone number you use on WhatsApp and – if provided – your first and last name in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the efficient and timely provision of the requested information.
Your data will always only be used to answer your request via WhatsApp. The data will not be passed on to third parties.
Please note that WhatsApp Business receives access to the address book of the mobile device we use for this purpose and automatically transmits telephone numbers stored in the address book to a server of the parent company Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA. To operate our WhatsApp Business account, we use a mobile device in whose address book only the WhatsApp contact data of those users are stored who have also contacted us via WhatsApp.
This ensures that every person whose WhatsApp contact data is stored in our address book has already consented to the transmission of their WhatsApp phone number from the address books of their chat contacts in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR by accepting the WhatsApp terms of use when using the app on their device for the first time. A transmission of data of such users who do not use WhatsApp and/or have not contacted us via WhatsApp is thus excluded.
For the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by WhatsApp, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to WhatsApp's privacy policy: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/?eea=1#privacy-policy
Within the framework of the above-mentioned processing, data transfers to servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA may occur.
For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European data protection level on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission.
5.2
When contacting us (e.g., via contact form or email), personal data is collected. Which data is collected in the case of using a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of answering your request or for contacting you and the associated technical administration.
The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in answering your request in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If your contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your inquiry. This is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been finally clarified and provided that there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary.
6) Use of Customer Data for Direct Advertising
6.1 Subscription to our Email Newsletter
If you subscribe to our email newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers. The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your email address. The provision of further data is voluntary and is used to be able to address you personally. For sending the newsletter, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that we will only send you an email newsletter if you have explicitly confirmed to us that you consent to receiving newsletters. We will then send you a confirmation email asking you to confirm by clicking on a corresponding link that you wish to receive the newsletter in the future.
By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent for the use of your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. When you register for the newsletter, we store your IP address entered by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration in order to be able to trace a possible misuse of your email address at a later date. The data collected by us when registering for the newsletter will be used exclusively for the purpose of advertising via the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link provided for this purpose in the newsletter or by sending a corresponding message to the controller mentioned at the beginning. After unsubscribing, your email address will be immediately deleted from our newsletter distribution list, unless you have 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 inform you in this declaration.
6.2 Sending the Email Newsletter to Existing Customers
If you have provided us with your email address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for similar goods or services, such as those already purchased, from our range by email. For this, we do not have to obtain separate consent from you in accordance with Section 7 (3) UWG. In this respect, data processing is carried out solely on the basis of our legitimate interest in personalized direct advertising in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If you initially objected to the use of your email address for this purpose, we will not send any emails.
You are entitled to object to the use of your email address for the aforementioned advertising purpose at any time with effect for the future by notifying the controller mentioned at the beginning. For this, you only incur transmission costs according to the basic rates. After receipt of your objection, the use of your email address for advertising purposes will be discontinued immediately.
6.3 WhatsApp Newsletter
If you subscribe to our WhatsApp newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers via WhatsApp. The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your mobile phone number.
To receive the newsletter, you add our provided mobile phone number to the address contacts of your mobile device and send us the message "Start" via WhatsApp. By sending this WhatsApp message, you give us your consent for the use of your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR for the purpose of sending the newsletter. We will then add you to our newsletter distribution list.
The data collected by us when registering for the newsletter will be processed exclusively for the purpose of advertising via the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by sending us the message "Stop" via WhatsApp. After unsubscribing, your mobile phone number will be immediately deleted from our newsletter distribution list, unless you have 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 inform you in this declaration.
Please note that WhatsApp Business receives access to the address book of the mobile device we use for this purpose and automatically transmits telephone numbers stored in the address book to a server of the parent company Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA.
For sending our WhatsApp newsletter, we therefore use a mobile device in whose address book only the WhatsApp contact data of our newsletter recipients are stored. This ensures that every person whose WhatsApp contact data is stored in our address book has already consented to the transmission of their WhatsApp phone number from the address books of their chat contacts in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR by accepting the WhatsApp terms of use when using the app on their device for the first time. A transmission of data of such users who do not use WhatsApp and/or have not contacted us via WhatsApp is thus excluded.
For the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by WhatsApp, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to WhatsApp's privacy policy: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/?eea=1#privacy-policy
Within the framework of the above-mentioned processing, data transfers to servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA may occur.
For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European data protection level on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

Google Analytics 4
This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), which enables an analysis of your use of our website.
By default, when you visit the website, Google Analytics 4 sets cookies, which are stored as small text modules on your end device and collect certain information. The scope of this information also includes your IP address, which is, however, shortened by Google by the last digits in order to exclude direct personal reference.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies on the end device used, only takes place if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Without your consent, Google Analytics 4 will not be used during your visit to the site. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right of revocation, please deactivate this service via the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google, which ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

Demographic Characteristics
Google Analytics 4 uses the special function "demographic characteristics" and can use it to create statistics that make statements about the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This is done by analyzing advertising and information from third-party providers. This allows target groups for marketing activities to be identified. However, the collected data cannot be assigned to a specific person and is deleted after storage for a period of two months.
Google Signals
As an extension to Google Analytics 4, Google Signals can be used on this website to have cross-device reports created. If you have activated personalized ads and linked your devices to your Google account, Google can, subject to your consent to the use of Google Analytics in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR, analyze your usage behavior across devices and create database models, including cross-device conversions. We do not receive any personal data from Google, only statistics. If you want to stop the cross-device analysis, you can deactivate the "Personalized Advertising" function in the settings of your Google account. To do this, follow the instructions on this page: https://support.google.com/My-Ad-Center-Help/answer/12155764?hl=en.

User IDs

8) Retargeting/ Remarketing and Conversion Tracking
Google Ads Conversion Tracking
This website uses the online advertising program "Google Ads" and, within the scope of Google Ads, conversion tracking from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). We use the Google Ads offer to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites with the help of advertising media (so-called Google Adwords). We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns. We thus pursue the aim of showing you advertising that is of interest to you, making our website more interesting for you, and achieving a fair calculation of the advertising costs incurred.
The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an Ads advertisement placed by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your end device. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. 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 Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of Google Ads customers. The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads 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 provided with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified. Within the scope of using Google Ads, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.
Details on the processing initiated by Google Ads Conversion Tracking and Google's handling of data from websites can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the end device used, is only carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.
You can also permanently object to the setting of cookies by Google Ads Conversion Tracking by downloading and installing the Google browser plug-in available at the following link: https://support.google.com/My-Ad-Center-Help/answer/12155656?hl=en
Please note that certain functions of this website may not be usable or only usable to a limited extent if you have deactivated the use of cookies. Google's privacy policy can be viewed here: https://business.safety.google/intl/en/privacy/ and https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (land) maps in order to visually present geographical information. By using this service, our location is shown to you and any approach is made easier.
Already when calling up those subpages in which the map of Google Maps is integrated, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers and stored there; this can also lead to a transmission to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

You have a right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right. If you do not agree with the future transmission of your data to Google within the scope of using Google Maps, there is also the possibility to completely deactivate the web service of Google Maps by switching off the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps and thus also the map display on this website can then not be used.

You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please follow the possibility described above to make an objection.

12) Duration of Storage of Personal Data
The duration of the storage of personal data is measured on the basis of the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing and – if relevant – additionally on the basis of the respective statutory retention period (e.g., commercial and tax law retention periods).

If statutory retention periods exist for data processed within the scope of contractual or quasi-contractual obligations based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, this data will be routinely deleted after the retention periods expire, provided it is no longer necessary for contract fulfillment or initiation and/or we no longer have a legitimate interest in its continued storage.
When processing personal data based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, this data will be stored until you exercise your right to object under Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
When processing personal data for direct marketing purposes based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, this data will be stored until you exercise your right to object under Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR.
Unless otherwise specified in the other information of this declaration regarding specific processing situations, stored personal data will otherwise be deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
4) Cookies
In order to make the visit to our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use cookies, i.e., small text files that are stored on your end device. Some of these cookies are automatically deleted after closing the browser (so-called "session cookies"), some of these cookies remain on your end device longer and enable the saving of page settings (so-called "persistent cookies"). In the latter case, you can find the storage duration in the overview of the cookie settings of your web browser. If personal data is also processed by individual cookies used by us, the processing takes place in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR either for the execution of the contract, in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR in the case of consent given, or in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website as well as a customer-friendly and effective design of the site visit.

5.1 WhatsApp Business
We offer you the possibility to contact us via the WhatsApp messaging service of WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. For this purpose, we use the so-called "Business Version" of WhatsApp. If you contact us via WhatsApp on the occasion of a specific business transaction (for example, an order placed), we store and use the mobile phone number you use on WhatsApp and – if provided – your first and last name in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b. GDPR to process and answer your request. On the basis of the same legal basis, we may ask you via WhatsApp to provide further data (order number, customer number, address, or email address) in order to be able to assign your inquiry to a specific process. If you use our WhatsApp contact for general inquiries (e.g., about the range of services, availability, or our website), we store and use the mobile phone number you use on WhatsApp and – if provided – your first and last name in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the efficient and timely provision of the requested information. Your data will always only be used to answer your request via WhatsApp. The data will not be passed on to third parties. Please note that WhatsApp Business receives access to the address book of the mobile device we use for this purpose and automatically transmits telephone numbers stored in the address book to a server of the parent company Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA. To operate our WhatsApp Business account, we use a mobile device in whose address book only the WhatsApp contact data of those users are stored who have also contacted us via WhatsApp. This ensures that every person whose WhatsApp contact data is stored in our address book has already consented to the transmission of their WhatsApp phone number from the address books of their chat contacts in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR by accepting the WhatsApp terms of use when using the app on their device for the first time. A transmission of data of such users who do not use WhatsApp and/or have not contacted us via WhatsApp is thus excluded. For the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by WhatsApp, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to WhatsApp's privacy policy: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/?eea=1#privacy-policy Within the framework of the above-mentioned processing, data transfers to servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA may occur. For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European data protection level on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission.5.2
When contacting us (e.g., via contact form or email), personal data is collected. Which data is collected in the case of using a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of answering your request or for contacting you and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in answering your request in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If your contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your inquiry. This is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been finally clarified and provided that there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary.6) Use of Customer Data for Direct Advertising
6.1 Subscription to our Email Newsletter
If you subscribe to our email newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers. The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your email address. The provision of further data is voluntary and is used to be able to address you personally. For sending the newsletter, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that we will only send you an email newsletter if you have explicitly confirmed to us that you consent to receiving newsletters. We will then send you a confirmation email asking you to confirm by clicking on a corresponding link that you wish to receive the newsletter in the future. By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent for the use of your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. When you register for the newsletter, we store your IP address entered by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration in order to be able to trace a possible misuse of your email address at a later date. The data collected by us when registering for the newsletter will be used exclusively for the purpose of advertising via the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link provided for this purpose in the newsletter or by sending a corresponding message to the controller mentioned at the beginning. After unsubscribing, your email address will be immediately deleted from our newsletter distribution list, unless you have 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 inform you in this declaration.6.2 Sending the Email Newsletter to Existing Customers
If you have provided us with your email address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for similar goods or services, such as those already purchased, from our range by email. For this, we do not have to obtain separate consent from you in accordance with Section 7 (3) UWG. In this respect, data processing is carried out solely on the basis of our legitimate interest in personalized direct advertising in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If you initially objected to the use of your email address for this purpose, we will not send any emails. You are entitled to object to the use of your email address for the aforementioned advertising purpose at any time with effect for the future by notifying the controller mentioned at the beginning. For this, you only incur transmission costs according to the basic rates. After receipt of your objection, the use of your email address for advertising purposes will be discontinued immediately.6.3 WhatsApp Newsletter
If you subscribe to our WhatsApp newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers via WhatsApp. The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your mobile phone number. To receive the newsletter, you add our provided mobile phone number to the address contacts of your mobile device and send us the message "Start" via WhatsApp. By sending this WhatsApp message, you give us your consent for the use of your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR for the purpose of sending the newsletter. We will then add you to our newsletter distribution list. The data collected by us when registering for the newsletter will be processed exclusively for the purpose of advertising via the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by sending us the message "Stop" via WhatsApp. After unsubscribing, your mobile phone number will be immediately deleted from our newsletter distribution list, unless you have 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 inform you in this declaration. Please note that WhatsApp Business receives access to the address book of the mobile device we use for this purpose and automatically transmits telephone numbers stored in the address book to a server of the parent company Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA. For sending our WhatsApp newsletter, we therefore use a mobile device in whose address book only the WhatsApp contact data of our newsletter recipients are stored.

A transmission of data of such users who do not use WhatsApp and/or have not contacted us via WhatsApp is thus excluded. For the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by WhatsApp, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to WhatsApp's privacy policy: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/?eea=1#privacy-policy Within the framework of the above-mentioned processing, data transfers to servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA may occur.

Google Ads Conversion Tracking
This website uses the online advertising program "Google Ads" and, within the scope of Google Ads, conversion tracking from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").

We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns. We thus pursue the aim of showing you advertising that is of interest to you, making our website more interesting for you, and achieving a fair calculation of the advertising costs incurred. The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an Ads advertisement placed by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your end device. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. 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 Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of Google Ads customers. The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads 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 provided with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified. Within the scope of using Google Ads, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.
