II. Rights of users and data subjects
With regard to the data processing described in more detail below, users and data subjects have the right

In addition, the provider is obliged to inform all recipients to whom data has been disclosed by the provider of any rectification or erasure of data or restriction of processing carried out in accordance with Art. 16, 17(1), 18 GDPR. However, this obligation does not apply if such notification is impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. Notwithstanding this, the user has a right to information about these recipients.
Users and data subjects also have the right to object to the future processing of their data in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR, provided that the data is processed by the provider in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. In particular, an objection to data processing for the purpose of direct advertising is permissible.
III. Information on data processing
Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies, the deletion of the data does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations, and no other information is provided on individual processing procedures below.
Cookies
a) Session cookies
We use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are placed and stored on your device by the internet browser you use. These cookies process certain information about you, such as your browser or location data or your IP address.
This processing makes our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure, as the processing enables, for example, the reproduction of our website in different languages or the offer of a shopping cart function.
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, provided that these cookies process data for the initiation or execution of a contract.
If the processing does not serve the initiation or execution of a contract, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
When you close your internet browser, these session cookies are deleted.
b) Third-party cookies
If necessary, our website also uses cookies from partner companies with whom we cooperate for the purpose of advertising, analysis, or the functionalities of our website.
Please refer to the following information for details, in particular regarding the purposes and legal bases for processing such third-party cookies.
c) Removal option
You can prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by setting your internet browser. You can also delete cookies that have already been saved at any time. However, the steps and measures required for this depend on the specific internet browser you are using. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your internet browser or contact its manufacturer or support. In the case of so-called Flash cookies, however, processing cannot be prevented via the browser settings. Instead, you must change the settings of your Flash player. The steps and measures required for this also depend on the specific Flash player you are using. If you have any questions, please also use the help function or documentation of your Flash player or contact the manufacturer or user support.
If you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, this may, however, result in not all functions of our website being fully usable.
Contact requests / contact possibility
If you contact us via contact form or email, the data you provide will be used to process your request. The provision of the data is necessary for processing and answering your request – without this, we cannot answer your request, or at best only to a limited extent.
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
Your data will be deleted if your request has been conclusively answered and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations, such as in the case of any subsequent contract processing.
Customer account / registration function
If you create a customer account with us via our website, we will collect and store the data you enter during registration (e.g., your name, address, or email address) exclusively for pre-contractual services, for the fulfillment of the contract, or for customer care (e.g., to provide you with an overview of your previous orders with us or to offer you the so-called notepad function). At the same time, we then store the IP address and the date of your registration along with the time. Of course, this data will not be passed on to third parties.
During the further registration process, your consent to this processing will be obtained and reference will be made to this privacy policy. The data collected by us will be used exclusively for the provision of the customer account.
If you consent to this processing, the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
If the opening of the customer account also serves pre-contractual measures or the fulfillment of the contract, the legal basis for this processing is also Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
You can revoke the consent you have given us to open and maintain the customer account at any time with effect for the future in accordance with Art. 7(3) GDPR. To do so, you only need to inform us of your revocation.
The data collected in this respect will be deleted as soon as processing is no longer necessary. However, we must observe retention periods under tax and commercial law.
Newsletter
If you register for our free newsletter, the data requested from you for this purpose, i.e., your email address and – optionally – your name and address, will be transmitted to us. At the same time, we store the IP address of the internet connection from which you access our website as well as the date and time of your registration. During the further registration process, we will obtain your consent to the sending of the newsletter, describe the content in detail, and refer to this privacy policy. We use the data collected exclusively for sending the newsletter – in particular, it will not be passed on to third parties.
The legal basis here is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
You can revoke your consent to the sending of the newsletter at any time with effect for the future in accordance with Art. 7(3) GDPR. To do so, you only need to inform us of your revocation or click on the unsubscribe link contained in each newsletter.
User contributions, comments, and ratings
We offer you the opportunity to publish questions, answers, opinions, or ratings on our website, hereinafter referred to as "contributions." If you make use of this offer, we will process and publish your contribution, the date and time of submission, and the pseudonym you may have used.
The legal basis here is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future in accordance with Art. 7(3) GDPR. To do so, you only need to inform us of your revocation.
In addition, we also process your IP and email address. The IP address is processed because we have a legitimate interest in initiating or supporting further steps if your contribution infringes the rights of third parties and/or is otherwise unlawful.
The legal basis in this case is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in any necessary legal defense.
Server data
For technical reasons, in particular to ensure a secure and stable website, data is transmitted to us or to our web space provider by your internet browser. With these so-called server log files, the type and version of your internet browser, the operating system, the website from which you switched to our website (referrer URL), the website(s) of our website that you visit, the date and time of the respective access, and the IP address of the internet connection from which our website is used are collected, among other things.
This data is temporarily stored, but not together with other data about you.
This storage takes place on the legal basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality, and security of our website.
The data will be deleted after seven days at the latest, unless further storage is required for evidence purposes. Otherwise, the data is exempt from deletion in whole or in part until the final clarification of an incident.
