GDPR

Commitment

As a user of our website, you will receive all necessary information in this Privacy Statement about how, to what extent and for what purpose we or third-party providers collect data from you and use it.

The collection and use of your data is carried out strictly in accordance with the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the German data protection law in accordance with the Act to Adapt Data Protection Law to Regulation (EU) (DSAnpUG-EU) and the Telemedia Act (TMG) as far as applicable.

We are committed to the confidentiality of your personal data and therefore work strictly within the limits set by law.

The collection of this personal data takes place on a voluntary basis, as far as possible for us. We will also only pass this data on to third parties with your express consent.

We ensure a high level of security by using SSL encryption for particularly confidential data such as payment transactions or with regard to your enquiries to us.

At this point, we would like to draw your attention to the general dangers of Internet use, over which we have no influence. Particularly in e-mail traffic, your data is not secure without further precautions and may be collected by third parties under certain circumstances.

Terms used

Personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “data subject”); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

Processing” means any operation or set of operations which is carried out with or without the aid of automated processes and which involves personal data. The term reaches far and covers practically every handling of data.

Controller” means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

Collaboration with processors and third parties

If, in the context of our processing, we disclose data to other persons and companies (processors or third parties), transmit them to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this will only be on a basis of

  • a legal permission (for example, data to payment service provider required in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for performance of the contract)

  • you have consented

  • a legal obligation to do so or

  • on the basis of our legitimate interests (for example, the use of agents, web hosts, IT maintenance orders, etc.)

If we commission third parties to process data on the basis of a so-called "contract processing contract", this is done on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR.

Transfers to third countries

If we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA) or if this is done in the context of the use of third party services or disclosure or transfer of data to third parties, this only occurs if it is:

  • for the fulfilment of our (pre)contractual obligations

  • on the basis of your consent

  • by virtue of a legal obligation, or

  • on the basis of our legitimate interests.

Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we process or allow the data to be processed in a third country only if the special requirements of Art. 44 ff. GDPR are met. This means that the processing takes place, for example, on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognised determination of a data protection level corresponding to the EU (e.g. for the USA through the “Privacy Shield”) or the observance of officially recognised special contractual obligations (so-called “standard contractual clauses”).

Personal data

Every time a user accesses our website and every time a file is retrieved, data about this process is temporarily stored and processed in a log file. This data is only evaluated for statistical purposes and to improve the offer and then deleted. Any other use or disclosure to third parties will not take place. If we collect personal data, we do this in the scope of data avoidance and data economy only to the extent and for as long as necessary to use our website or as required by law. If we collect personal data – such as your name, address or e-mail address – this data collection is voluntary. This data will not be disclosed to third parties without your express consent. We take the protection of your personal data seriously and adhere strictly to the relevant legal regulations and this Privacy Statement when collecting and processing personal data.
