Privacy Policy
1. General Information
The use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. Insofar as personal data (e.g., name, address, or email address) is collected on our site, this is always done on a voluntary basis, where possible. These data will not be shared with third parties without your explicit consent.
Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g., communication via email) can have security vulnerabilities. A complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.
We expressly object to the use of contact data published as part of the legal notice obligation by third parties for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials. The website operator reserves the right to take legal action in the case of unsolicited promotional information, such as spam emails.
2. Subject of Data Protection
The subject of data protection is personal data, as defined in Article 4(1) of the GDPR. This includes all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. Examples include names, addresses, email addresses, or telephone numbers. Usage data such as IP addresses can also be considered personal data.
3. Collection and Use of Personal Data
Generally, you can use our website without submitting personal data. However, in order to deliver certain services—such as sending information, responding to individual inquiries, or processing orders—we may need to collect and store personal data.
If you commission us to provide a service or deliver goods, we collect and store your personal data only as necessary for the performance of the contract. It may be necessary to share your personal data with service providers such as shipping companies for this purpose.
After the complete execution of the contract, your data will be blocked and deleted after expiration of the tax and commercial retention periods, unless you have explicitly consented to further use.
If you subscribe to our newsletter, your email address will be used for our own advertising purposes until you unsubscribe from the newsletter.
4. Collection and Storage of Usage Data
To improve our website, we may collect and store data such as the date and time of a page visit, the referring page, and other similar data—unless you object to this data collection and storage. This data is collected anonymously and does not allow identification of individual users. We may use pseudonymous user profiles for analytical purposes.
We also use cookies—small text files stored on your computer—to gather statistical information such as operating system, browser type, IP address, referrer URL, and time of access. These cookies help us improve our website and make our services more user-friendly. The data is collected anonymously or under a pseudonym, and no connection to your person is made.
5. Purpose Limitation
We strictly adhere to the principle of purpose limitation in data collection, processing, and use. Your personal data is only used for the purposes for which you have provided it. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent, unless it is necessary for contract fulfillment or required by law.
Even within our company, we take data protection seriously. Our employees and service providers are contractually bound to confidentiality and compliance with data protection laws.
6. Right to Information and Withdrawal
You have the right to request information about your stored personal data at any time, free of charge and without having to provide reasons. You can also request the correction, blocking, or deletion of your data. You may withdraw your consent to data collection and use at any time with future effect.
Please contact the address given in the legal notice for any questions regarding the collection, processing, or use of your personal data or if you would like to access, correct, block, or delete your data.
7. SSL Encryption and Data Security
We employ appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against manipulation, loss, destruction, or unauthorized access. These measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content (e.g., inquiries you send to us), our website uses SSL encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change from “http://” to “https://” in the browser address bar and the lock icon.
8. Cookies
We use cookies on our website to manage sessions and improve usability. Some cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser, while others remain on your device (persistent cookies). If we ever store personal data in cookies, we will inform you separately and seek your consent.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings. However, disabling cookies may affect the functionality of our website.
9. Matomo® Analytics
This website uses Matomo®, an open-source web analytics platform. Since version 4.12.0, Matomo no longer relies on cookies for data collection. IP addresses are anonymized immediately after processing. No personally identifiable data is collected.
10. External Links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites. Please note that this privacy policy applies only to our own website. We have no control over and are not responsible for the content or data protection practices of other websites.
11. Updates to This Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy to comply with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy (e.g., introduction of new services). The updated policy will apply to your next visit.
