A non-provisioning has no consequences.

How is your data collected?

There are two options for data collection: You can share your data yourself, for example when you enter your details in a contact form, subscribe to a newsletter, request a whitepaper or brochure, or register for a webinar.

Data is also automatically collected when you visit our website. This mainly concerns technical information – the browser used, operating system, etc. Further information can be found in the “Cookies” section below.

What is your data used for?

While some of the data is required for the technically error-free provision of our website, other data – depending on the degree of your consent – will be used to analyse your user behaviour. All of this is designed to provide you with the best possible user experience.

Privacy policy

1. Data collection

Server log files

You naturally can visit our websites without giving any personal information.

Every time you access our website, user data is transmitted to us or our web host / IT service provider through your Internet browser and stored in log data (so-called server log files). This stored data includes e.g. the name of the page accessed, the date and time of calling up the page, the IP address, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider. The processing is based on Article 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO for legitimate interest in ensuring trouble-free operation of our website and for improving our offer.

Collection and processing using contact or registration forms

When using the contact or registration form, we collect your personal data (name, e-mail address, message text) only in the scope provided by you. The data processing serves the purpose of establishing contact. By submitting your message, you consent to the processing of the transmitted data. Processing is based on Article 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO with your consent.

You may revoke your consent at any time by notifying us without affecting the legality of the processing on the basis of the consent to revocation. We only use your e-mail address to process your request. Your data will then be deleted, unless you have consented to the further processing and use.

Collection, processing and disclosure of personal data when commissioned

When ordering, we collect and process your personal data only to the extent necessary for the fulfillment and processing of your order and to process your requests. The provision of the data is required for the conclusion of the contract. Non-provisioning means that no contract can be concluded. Processing is based on Article 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO and is required to fulfill a contract with you. For example, your data may be forwarded to your selected shipping companies and dropshipping providers, payment service providers, order processing service providers and IT service providers. In all cases, we strictly adhere to the legal requirements. The amount of data transmission is limited to a minimum.

Use of the e-mail address for sending newsletters and to proceed requests and registrations

Regardless of the contract, we use your e-mail address solely for our own advertising purposes to send you newsletters and to handle your request and registrationsif you have expressly consented to this. Processing is based on Article 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO with your consent. You may revoke your consent at any time without affecting the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent until your revocation. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the corresponding link in the newsletter or by notifying us. Your e-mail address will then be removed from the mailing list.

Use of Google Analytics

We use the Google Analytics web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; „Google“). Data processing is for the purpose of analyzing this website and its visitors. For this purpose, Google will use the information obtained on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.

Google Analytics uses cookies that allow you to analyze the use of the website. The information generated by the cookies about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. IP anonymisation is activated on this website. As a result, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google 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 sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. Your data may be transmitted to the United States. There is an adequacy decision by the European Commission for data transfers to the US. Processing is based on Article 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO from the legitimate interest in the needs-based and targeted design of the website. You have the right, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you, based on Article 6 (1) f DSGVO.

Using Google Adwords Conversion Tracking

We use the online advertising program “Google AdWords” on our website and, in this context, conversion tracking (visit evaluation). Google Conversion Tracking is an analytics service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; „Google“). When you click on an ad served by Google, a conversion tracking cookie will be placed on your machine. These cookies have a limited validity, contain no personal data and are therefore not for personal identification. If you visit certain pages on our website and the cookie has not expired, Google and we may recognize that you have clicked on the ad and have been redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Thus, there is no way that cookies can be tracked through the websites of advertisers.

This tells us the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, we do not receive any information that personally identifies users. Processing is based on Article 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO from the legitimate interest in targeted advertising and the analysis of the impact and efficiency of this advertising.

You have the right, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you, based on Article 6 (1) f DSGVO.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting appropriate technical settings of your browser software. We point out, however, that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website in full. You will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

You can also opt out of personalized advertising in Google Ads Settings.
