We are delighted that you are interested in our online shop. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below we provide you with detailed information about how we handle your data.

1. Access Data and Hosting

You can visit our website without providing any personal information. Each time a webpage is accessed, the web server automatically stores a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the file requested, your IP address, the date and time of the request, the amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider (access data), and which documents the request. This access data is evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring the smooth operation of the site and improving our offering. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our offering, which predominate within the scope of a balancing of interests, pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. All access data is deleted no later than seven days after the end of your visit to the site.

1.1 Hosting

The services for hosting and displaying the website are provided in part by our service providers as part of a data processing arrangement on our behalf. Unless otherwise explained within this privacy policy, all access data as well as all data collected in forms provided for that purpose on this website are processed on their servers. If you have any questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please contact us using the contact option described in this privacy policy.

Our service providers are located and/or use servers in the following countries, for which the European Commission has determined, by decision, that an adequate level of data protection exists: Canada, New Zealand, Japan, United Kingdom, USA.

The adequacy decision for the USA serves as the basis for the transfer to a third country, provided that the respective service provider is certified. Until certification by our service providers is obtained, the data transfer continues to rely on this basis: standard contractual clauses of the European Commission.

Our service providers are located and/or use servers in these countries: Australia, India, Singapore.
No adequacy decision by the European Commission exists for these countries. Our cooperation with them is based on these safeguards: standard contractual clauses of the European Commission

1.2 Content Delivery Network

For the purpose of shorter loading times, we use a so-called Content Delivery Network (“CDN”) for some of our offerings. With this service, content, e.g. large media files, is delivered via regionally distributed servers of external CDN service providers. Access data is therefore processed on the servers of the service providers. Our service providers act on our behalf within the framework of order processing.

Our service providers are located and/or use servers in countries outside the EU and the EEA. No adequacy decision by the European Commission exists for these countries.
Our cooperation with them is based on standard contractual clauses of the European Commission.

Google Analytics

For the purpose of website analysis, Google Analytics automatically collects and stores data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information, as well as information about your use of our website), from which usage profiles are created under pseudonyms. Cookies may be used for this purpose. If you visit our website from the EU, your IP address will be stored on a server located in the EU for the purpose of deriving location data and will then be deleted immediately, before the traffic is forwarded to further Google servers for processing. The data processing takes place on the basis of an order processing agreement with Google.

For the purpose of optimized marketing of our website, we have activated the data sharing settings for “Google products and services”. This allows Google to access the data collected and processed by Google Analytics and subsequently use it to improve Google’s services. The disclosure of data to Google under these data sharing settings takes place on the basis of an additional agreement between controllers. We have no influence on the subsequent processing of data by Google.

For the purpose of optimized marketing of our website, we use the so-called User-ID function. With the help of this function, we can assign a unique, permanent ID to your interaction data from one or more sessions on our online presences, and thus analyze your user behavior across devices and sessions.

For web analysis purposes, the extension function of Google Analytics Google Signals enables so-called “cross-device tracking”. Provided that your internet-enabled devices are linked to your Google account and you have activated the “personalized advertising” setting in your Google account, Google can generate reports on your usage behavior (in particular cross-device user numbers), even if you switch devices. In this respect, no processing of personal data takes place by us; we only receive statistics created on the basis of Google Signals.

For web analysis and advertising purposes, the extension function of Google Analytics, the so-called DoubleClick cookie, enables your browser to be recognized when visiting other websites. Google will use this information to compile reports on website activities and to provide further services related to the use of the website.

If you do not give us your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR to the use of Google Analytics, no cookies will be stored on or read from your device. The data processing described in the preceding paragraphs will not take place. In order to close gaps in web analytics through behavioral and conversion modeling, pings containing data (user agent, information about your consent behavior, screen resolution, IP address) are sent to Google.

Google AdSense

Our website markets advertising space for third-party advertisements via Google AdSense. These advertisements are displayed to you at various places on this website. The so-called DoubleClick cookie enables the display of interest-based advertising through the collection and processing of data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information, as well as information about your use of our website), as well as the automatic assignment of a pseudonymous UserID, with the help of which interests are determined based on visits to this and other websites.

Google Ads

For advertising purposes in Google search results as well as on third-party websites, the so-called Google Remarketing cookie is set when you visit our website, which automatically enables interest-based advertising through the collection and processing of data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information, as well as information about your use of our website) and by means of a pseudonymous CookieID, based on the pages you have visited. Further data processing only takes place if you have activated the “personalized advertising” setting in your Google account. If, in this case, you are logged in to Google during your visit to our website, Google uses your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define audience lists for cross-device remarketing.

For website analysis and event tracking, we measure your subsequent usage behavior via Google Ads Conversion Tracking if you have reached our website via a Google Ads advertisement. Cookies may be used for this purpose and data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information, as well as information about your use of our website based on events specified by us, such as visiting a webpage or newsletter registration) may be collected, from which usage profiles are created under pseudonyms.

If you do not give us your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR to the use of Google Ads, no cookies will be stored on or read from your device. The data processing described in the preceding paragraphs will not take place. In order to close gaps in web analytics through behavioral and conversion modeling, pings containing data (user agent, information about your consent behavior, screen resolution, IP address, page URL, information on advertisement clicks in URL parameters) are sent to Google. Your IP address is used to derive the IP country.

Google reCAPTCHA

For the purpose of protection against misuse of our web forms and against spam by automated software (so-called bots), Google reCAPTCHA collects data (IP address, time of visit, browser information, as well as information about your use of our website) and, by means of so-called JavaScript as well as cookies, carries out an analysis of your use of our website. In addition, other cookies stored in your browser by Google services are evaluated. No reading or storage of personal data from the input fields of the respective form takes place.

Google Tag Manager

Through Google Tag Manager, we can manage various codes and services on our website. When implementing the individual tags, Google may also process personal data under certain circumstances (e.g. IP address, online identifiers (including cookies)). The data processing takes place on the basis of an order processing agreement with Google.

The use of Google Tag Manager makes it possible to integrate various services/technologies.
If you do not wish to use individual tracking services and have therefore deactivated them, the deactivation remains in effect for all affected tracking tags integrated via Google Tag Manager.

For website analysis and event tracking, we measure your subsequent usage behavior via Microsoft Advertising Universal Event Tracking (UET) if you have reached our website via a Microsoft Advertising advertisement. Cookies may be used for this purpose and data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information, as well as information about your use of our website based on events specified by us, such as visiting a webpage or newsletter registration) may be collected, from which usage profiles are created under pseudonyms. Provided that your internet-enabled devices are linked to your Microsoft account and you have not deactivated the “interest-based advertising” setting in your Microsoft account, Microsoft can generate reports on usage behavior (in particular cross-device user numbers), even if you switch devices, so-called “cross-device tracking”. In this respect, no processing of personal data takes place by us; we only receive statistics created on the basis of Microsoft UET.
