III. Information on data processing

Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies, the deletion of the data does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations and no other information on individual processing methods is provided below.

Server data

For technical reasons, in particular to ensure a secure and stable Internet presence, data is transmitted by your Internet browser to us or to our web space provider. These so-called server log files are used, among other things, to collect 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.

This data collected in this way will be stored temporarily, but not together with other data from you.

This storage takes place on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. 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 evidentiary purposes. Otherwise, the data will be completely or partially excluded from deletion until an incident has been finally clarified.

Cookies

a) Session cookies/session cookies

We use so-called cookies with our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are stored on your device by the Internet browser you use. These cookies process certain information about you to an individual extent, 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 Article 6(1)(b)) GDPR, insofar as these cookies data are processed for contract initiation or contract processing.

If the processing does not serve the initiation or execution of the contract, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Art. 6 para. 1 lit. 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 work together for the purpose of advertising, analysis or the functionalities of our website.

For details, in particular on the purposes and legal bases of the processing of such third-party cookies, please refer to the following information.

c) Possibility of disposal

You can prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by setting your Internet browser. You can also delete cookies that have already been stored 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, the processing cannot be prevented via the settings of the browser. Instead, you need to change the setting 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.

However, if you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, this may mean that not all functions of our website are fully usable.

Customer account / registration function

If you create a customer account with us via our website, we will use the data you enter during registration (e.g. Your name, address or e-mail address) exclusively for pre-contractual services, for the fulfilment of the contract or for the purpose of customer care (e.g. to provide you with an overview of your previous orders with us or to be able to offer you the so-called notepad function). At the same time, we then store the IP address and the date of your registration together with the time. Of course, this data will not be passed on to third parties.

As part of the further registration process, your consent to this processing will be obtained and reference will be made to this data protection declaration. The data collected by us will be used exclusively for the provision of the customer account.

If you consent to this processing, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis for the processing.

If the opening of the customer account also serves pre-contractual measures or the fulfilment of the contract, the legal basis for this processing is also Art. 6 para. 1 lit.b) GDPR.

You can revoke your consent to the opening and maintenance of the customer account at any time with effect for the future in accordance with Article 7 (3) GDPR. All you have to do is inform us of your revocation.

The data collected in this respect will be deleted as soon as the processing is no longer necessary. In doing so, however, we must observe retention periods under tax and commercial law.

Verification of creditworthiness and scoring

Insofar as we offer you the basic possibility of payment by invoice as part of our range of goods or services and you make use of this, we reserve the right to obtain credit information from a credit agency (such as Creditreform, Schufa, Bürgel or infoscore) on the basis of mathematical-statistical procedures. For this purpose, your data, insofar as they are relevant to the contract, such as e.g. Forward your name and address to the credit agency. We use the subsequent information about the statistical probability of a payment default to decide whether to offer you payment by invoice.

The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in the reliability of the claim in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Contact Requests / Contact Options

If you contact us via contact form or e-mail, the data you provide will be used to process your request. The provision of the data is necessary to process and answer your request - without their provision, we can not answer your request or possibly to a limited extent.

The legal basis for this processing is Article 6 (1) (.b) GDPR.

Your data will be deleted if your request has been answered conclusively and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations, such as in the case of any subsequent contract processing.

In addition, we also process your IP and e-mail address. The IP address is processed because we have a legitimate interest in taking or supporting further steps if your contribution interferes with the rights of third parties and/or is otherwise unlawful.

The legal basis in this case is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the legal defence that may be necessary.

Linking social media via graphic or text link

These are initially data such as IP address, date, time and page visited. If the user is logged in to his user account of the respective network during this time, the network operator may be able to assign the collected information of the specific visit of the user to the personal account of the user. If the user interacts via a "Share" button of the respective network, this information can be stored in the user's personal user account and, if necessary, published. If the user wants to prevent the collected information from being assigned directly to his user account, he must log out before clicking on the graphic.
