Collection of general information
When you access our website, information of a general nature is automatically collected. This information (server log files) includes the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet service provider and similar information. This is exclusively information which does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person. This information is technically necessary in order to correctly deliver the content you have requested from websites and is mandatory when using the Internet. Anonymous information of this kind is statistically evaluated by us in order to optimize our Internet presence and the technology behind it.

Contact us: collection, processing, and use of personal data
Personal data is all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, your name, your telephone number, your address, and all other data that you provide to us when contacting us by e-mail or contact form.

The information you provide when contacting us will be stored for the purpose of processing your inquiry and for possible follow-up questions. The lawfulness of such processing results from the protection of the legitimate interests of the data controller, unless the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, which require the protection of personal data, prevail. We will treat your personal data with the utmost care, store it safely and not pass it on to third parties.

Use of cookies
Like many other websites, we also use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small text files that are stored on your end device (laptop, tablet, smartphone or similar) when you visit our website. This enables us to obtain certain data such as IP address, browser used and operating system. Cookies cannot be used to start programs or transfer viruses to a computer. We can use the information contained in cookies to make navigation easier for you and to enable our web pages to be displayed correctly.

Under no circumstances will the data we collect be passed on to third parties or linked to personal data without your consent. If you allow us to use cookies through your browser settings or consent, the following cookies may be used on our websites: Google Analytics

Insofar as these cookies can affect personal data, we will inform you about this in the following sections. Of course, you can also view our website without cookies. Internet browsers are regularly set to accept cookies. Please note that individual functions of our website may not work if you have deactivated the use of cookies.

You can delete individual cookies or the entire cookie inventory via your browser settings. You will also receive information and instructions on how to delete these cookies or block their storage in advance. Depending on the provider of your browser, you will find the necessary information under the following links:

We also use mandatory cookies. These cookies are required to provide basic functions of the website. For example, when setting personal privacy settings, logging in or filling out forms. The use of mandatory cookies does not require the user's consent and cannot be disabled.

SSL encryption
In order to protect the security of your possibly personal data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption procedures (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS.

Deletion or blocking of the data
We adhere to the principles of data avoidance and data economy. We therefore only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes stated here or as provided for in the various storage periods provided for by law. After the respective purpose or expiry of these periods, the corresponding data will be blocked or deleted as a matter of routine and in accordance with statutory regulations.

Google Analytics 4

In order to be able to optimally adapt our website to user interests, we use "Google Analytics", a web analysis service from "Google" (Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland and Google, LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter: "Google" and "Google Analytics 4"). "Google Analytics 4" uses so-called "cookies", which are stored on your end device for recognition purposes, as well as similar tracking methods for end device recognition such as tracking pixels, device fingerprinting and programming interfaces (e.g. APIs and SDKs) to process information from your end device. For this purpose, a randomly generated identification number (cookie ID/device ID) is assigned to your end device. With the help of these technologies, "Google" processes the generated information about the use of our website by your end device as well as access data for the purpose of statistical analysis - e.g. call of a specific web page, number of unique visitors, entry and exit pages, dwell time, click, wipe and scroll behavior, activation of buttons, registration for the newsletter, bounce rate and similar user interactions.

For this purpose, it can also be determined whether different end devices belong to you or your household. Access data includes in particular the IP address, browser and device information, cookie ID/device ID, the website previously visited, and the date and time of the server request. In systems of "Google Analytics 4" no individual IP addresses are logged or stored. At the moment of IP address collection by Google in special local data centers in the EU, your IP address is used to determine location information. Subsequently, the IP address is deleted before the access data is stored in a data center or on a server for "Google Analytics". In "Google Analytics 4", no precise geographical location data is provided, only general location information such as the region and city of the end device's location derived from the IP address. "Google" will process this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for us and, where separately indicated, providing us with other services relating to website activity. If you are registered with a Google service, "Google" can assign the website visit to your user account and create and evaluate cross-application user profiles. In addition, a cross-platform analysis of user behavior is carried out on websites and apps that use "Google Analytics 4" technologies. This means that usage behavior can be recorded, measured and compared in the same way in different environments. For example, scroll events of the user are automatically recorded, which should enable a better understanding of the use of websites and apps. For this purpose, different cookie IDs/device IDs are used for different end devices.

We are then provided with anonymized statistics on the use of the various platforms, compiled according to selected criteria. Google Analytics 4" is used to automatically create target groups for specific cookie IDs/device IDs or mobile advertising IDs, which are later used for individualized advertising. Target group criteria that can be considered are, for example: Users who have viewed products but not added them to a shopping cart or added them to a cart but not completed the purchase OR users who have purchased specific items. In this case, a target group includes at least 100 users. With the help of the "Google Ads" tool, interest-based advertisements can then be displayed in search results. Likewise, users of websites can be recognized on other websites within the "Google" advertising network (in Google search, on "YouTube", so-called "Google Ads" or on other websites) and presented with tailored advertisements based on the defined target group criteria. With regard to the storage of and access to information in your terminal device, the legal basis is Art. 5 para. 3 of the ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC) or the respective implementation in the member states; for further processing, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) DSGVO. "Google" also processes the data in part in the USA. No adequacy decision of the EU Commission exists for a data transfer to the USA. So-called standard contractual clauses have been concluded with Google, LLC in order to commit Google, LLC to an adequate level of data protection. You can obtain a copy of the standard contractual clauses at https://cloud.google.com/terms/sccs. Your data in connection with "Google Analytics 4" will be deleted after 24 months at the latest. Further information on data protection at "Google" can be found at: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

Revocation of your consent to processing is possible at any time by pushing back the slider in the "Manage Cookie Settings" of the Consent Tool for the respective third-party provider. The lawfulness of the processing remains unaffected until you exercise the revocation.

Embedded YouTube-Videos
We embed YouTube videos on some of our web pages. YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA is the operator of the corresponding plug-ins. When you visit a page with the YouTube plug-in, it will connect to YouTube's servers. YouTube will be informed which pages you visit. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can assign your surfing behaviour to you personally. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account beforehand.

If a YouTube video is started, the provider uses cookies that collect information about user behaviour. If you have deactivated the storage of cookies for the Google Ad program, you will not have to reckon with such cookies when viewing YouTube videos. YouTube also stores non-personal usage information in other cookies. If you want to prevent this, you must block the saving of cookies in your browser. Further information on data protection at "YouTube" can be found in the provider's data protection declaration under: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/
