- Collection and storage of personal data; type, purpose and use
When you commission us, the following information is collected:
- Salutation, title, first name, last name
- Address
- E-mail address
- Telephone number (landline and/or mobile)
- Fax number (if available & desired)
- account details if applicable
-
date of birth if applicable
In addition, all information necessary to fulfill the contract with you will be collected.
The collection of personal data takes place
- to identify you as a customer;
- to be able to advise you appropriately;
- to be able to fulfil our contractual obligations towards you;
- to comply with our legal obligations:
- to correspond with you;
- for invoicing or, if applicable, in the context of dunning;
- for the purposes of permissible direct marketing;
- to assert any claims against you.
The processing of personal data takes place on the occasion of your inquiry to us and is necessary for the stated purposes for processing your order and for the fulfillment of obligations arising from the underlying contract.
The personal data collected will be stored until the expiry of the statutory retention period for merchants (6, 8 or 10 years after the end of the calendar year in which the contractual relationship was terminated) and then deleted. This does not apply in exceptional cases if we are obliged to store the data for a longer period due to tax or commercial law retention obligations (according to the German Commercial Code, the German Criminal Code or the German Fiscal Code) or if you have consented to longer storage.
- storage of access data
Each time you access our website, access data is stored in a log file on our provider’s web server.
This dataset consists of:
- the IP address of the requesting device, date and time of retrieval,
- date and time of retrieval,
- the name and URL of the requested file
- the amount of data transferred
- the message whether the retrieval was successful
- Identification data of the browser and operating system used.
- website from which access is made,
- the name of your Internet access provider.
The collection of this data is necessary for technical reasons. This data does not allow us to draw any conclusions about you personally. Unfortunately, it is not technically possible to use our website without providing your IP address. The access data is deleted after six months.
- transfer of data to third parties
As a general rule, your personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Exceptions to this only apply if this is necessary for the performance of contractual relationships with you. This includes in particular the transfer to service providers commissioned by us (so-called processors) or other third parties whose activities are necessary for the execution of the contract (e.g. shipping companies or banks). The data passed on may only be used by the third parties for the purposes stated.
- cookies
We store cookies on the storage medium of your device to make visiting our website more attractive and to enable the use of certain functions. This serves our sales interests as a legitimate interest.
Cookies are small text files that are sent from our provider's web server to the browser on your device and stored there. The cookies are required to identify and authorize you for the entire duration of your visit, for example after you have successfully logged into your user account. They are also required if you provide information, for example as part of an order, without having registered, in order to save you from having to enter your data several times. These cookies are deleted from the storage medium of your device at the end of your browser session (so-called session cookies).
The browser on your device is usually set to accept the creation and storage of cookies. You have the option of setting your browser to reject the storage and use of cookies in general or in individual cases. In this case, however, the range of functions on our website may be limited.

Website analysis with Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, after obtaining user consent. The responsible entities are Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland, for users from the EU/EEA and Switzerland. Google Analytics 4 practices IP anonymization by default, which means that your IP address is immediately shortened when you interact with this website. Only in rare cases will your full IP address be transmitted to a Google server based in the USA and shortened there. Google assures that the IP transmitted via Google Analytics is never combined with other Google data. Google Analytics 4 is only activated with your consent via the cookie banner and can be reversed at any time via the cookie settings.
The data processed includes: Usage data such as page views, website interaction, general location and duration of visit; and communication data such as shortened IP addresses, user agent, language settings and screen resolution. The purpose of this data processing is for Google to evaluate the use of your website on your behalf, compile reports on the activities and analyze the performance of the website. This data processing is legal, based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a GDPR and Section 25 Para. 1 S. 1 TDDDG.
Google Ireland Limited, Google LLC and Alphabet Inc are the recipients of this data. Your website usage information is usually sent to a Google server in the US, an action legitimized by the recent adequacy decision of the European Commission of July 10, 2023, which recognizes Google LLC's certification under the EU-US Privacy Shield. Regarding data retention, any data linked to cookies is automatically deleted after a certain period of time, monthly for data that has reached its retention period and a maximum of 2 years for Google Analytics cookies.

Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", text files that are stored on the visitor's computer and that enable an analysis of the use of the website by the visitor. The information generated by the cookie about the use of this website by the visitor (including the shortened IP address) is usually transferred to a Google server and stored there.
Google Analytics is used exclusively with the extension "_anonymizeIp()" on this website. This extension ensures that the IP address is anonymized by shortening it and excludes any direct personal reference. The extension means that Google's IP address is shortened beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states 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. The IP address transmitted by the corresponding browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.
On behalf of the website operator, Google will use the information collected to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activities and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website and internet usage (Article 6, paragraph 1, letter f of the GDPR). The legitimate interest in data processing lies in optimizing this website, analyzing website usage and adapting content. The interests of users are adequately protected by pseudonymization.
Google LLC is certified according to the so-called Privacy Shield (list entry here ) and on this basis ensures an appropriate level of data protection. The data sent and linked to cookies, user IDs (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs are automatically deleted after 50 months. Data whose retention period has been reached is automatically deleted once a month.
The visitor can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by 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 plug-in can be downloaded and installed using the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout .
The website visitor can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data on this website by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set which prevents the future collection of data when visiting this website.
Further information on data usage by Google, setting options and objection options can be found in Google's privacy policy ( https://policies.google.com/privacy ) and in the settings for the display of advertisements by Google ( https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated ).
Spam protection with Google reCAPTCHA
We have implemented Google reCAPTCHA in forms on our website to check whether the data entered in the forms comes from human visitors or from machines or automated programs, also known as "bots". This tool automatically analyzes the behavior of website visitors as soon as they interact with the website, using various information such as IP address, length of stay and mouse movements. The data processed includes usage data such as the website accessed, date and time of access and mouse movements, as well as communication data such as IP addresses, browser type and operating system. This processing is aimed at website visitors and users of online services. The main purpose of this processing is to prevent misuse of our contact form and thereby increase security. The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 lit. f. GDPR. The data recipients are Google Ireland Ltd, located at Google Building Gordon House, Barrow St, Dublin 4, Ireland, (https://policies.google.com/privacy) and our website hosting provider. While your personal data is processed within the EU, the retention period for the processed data is determined by Google Ireland Limited. For more information, see the Google reCAPTCHA privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
website analysis (Jimdo statistics)
When you visit our website, we collect information about your usage through a web analytics tool provided by our hosting service. This tool collects and combines your IP address and user agent, shortens them and stores this data using a hash function. This process creates a visitor identifier that is encrypted with a randomly generated value (SALT) that changes every 24 hours. This method ensures that your IP address cannot be reconstructed from the stored visitor identifier, so your anonymity is maintained. In addition, we do not combine this information with other data and it is only stored on the hosting provider's server.
We also process web analytics data, HTTP data and web analytics profile data. The web analytics tool we use creates and stores a web analytics profile that contains details about your use of the website, such as page views, frequency of visits, time spent on each page and your device's user agent. This includes usage data (such as web pages visited and access times) and communication data (such as browser type, operating system and IP addresses).
By processing this data, we want to analyze user behavior in an aggregated form in order to improve the presentation and content of our website. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. (f) GDPR), in particular in carrying out web measurements in order to improve our products and our website.
The data collected will be shared with our website hosting provider and processed within the EU.
