Thank you for your interest in our website. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below we inform you in detail about how we handle your data.

1. Access Data and Hosting

You can visit our website without providing any personal data. Each time a website is accessed, the web server only automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the access. This access data is analyzed exclusively for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offer. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests, which predominate in the context of a weighing of interests, in a correct presentation of our offer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. All access data will be 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 partly provided by our service providers as part of processing on our behalf. Unless otherwise stated in this privacy policy, all access data and all data collected in the forms provided on this website will be processed on their servers. If you have any questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please use 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 an adequate level of data protection by decision Israel.

1.2 Content Delivery Network

We use a so-called Content Delivery Network (“CDN”) for some offers in order to shorten loading times. 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 work for us within the framework of order processing. Our service providers are located and/or use servers in countries outside the EU and the EEA. There is no adequacy decision by the European Commission for these countries. Our cooperation with them is based on standard data protection clauses of the European Commission. If you have any questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please use the contact option described in this privacy policy.

2. Data Processing for Establishing Contact and Customer Communication

We collect personal data if you provide it to us voluntarily when you contact us (e.g. via contact form or email). Mandatory fields are marked as such, as in these cases we absolutely need the data to process your contact and you cannot send the contact without providing it. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide to process your inquiries in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR.

Once your customer inquiry has been fully processed, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after expiry of the retention periods under tax and commercial law in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.

3. Advertising by e-mail, post, telephone

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we will use the data required for this or separately provided by you to regularly send you our email newsletter based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time, either by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a link provided for this purpose in the newsletter. After unsubscribing, we will delete your email address from the list of recipients, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.

If you have also given us your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR to analyze our newsletter, we will also analyze your interaction with our newsletter by measuring, storing and evaluating opening rates and click rates for the purpose of designing future newsletter campaigns (“newsletter tracking”).

For this analysis, the emails sent contain single-pixel technologies (e.g. so-called web beacons, tracking pixels) that are stored on our website. In particular, we link the following “newsletter data” for the analyses

the page from which the page was requested (so-called referrer URL)
the date and time of the request
the description of the type of web browser used
the IP address of the requesting computer
the e-mail address,
the date and time of registration and confirmation

and the single-pixel technologies with your e-mail address or your IP address and, if applicable, an individual ID. Links contained in the newsletter may also contain this ID.

Unsubscribing from newsletter tracking is possible at any time and can be done either by sending a message to the contact option described or via a link provided for this purpose in the newsletter.

The information will be stored for as long as you are subscribed to the newsletter.

3.2 Postal advertising and your right to object

In addition, we reserve the right to use your first and last name and your postal address for our own advertising purposes, e.g. to send you interesting offers and information about our products by post. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests, which predominate in the context of a balancing of interests, in a promotional approach to our customers in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

After revocation, we will delete your telephone number, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.

Unless otherwise specified for the individual technologies, data processing is carried out on the basis of an agreement concluded for the respective technology between jointly responsible parties in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR.

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 on your use of our website), from which user profiles are created using 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 to derive location data and then deleted immediately before the traffic is forwarded to other Google servers for processing. Data processing is carried out on the basis of an agreement on order processing by 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 then use it to improve Google services. The release of data to Google as part of these data release settings is based on an additional agreement between the responsible parties. We have no influence on the subsequent data processing by Google.

For web analysis, the extension function of Google Analytics Google Signals enables so-called “cross-device tracking”. If your internet-enabled devices are linked to your Google account and you have activated the “personalized advertising” setting in your Google account, Google can create reports on your usage behavior (in particular the cross-device user numbers), even if you change your device. We do not process any personal data in this respect; we only receive statistics generated on the basis of Google Signals.

For web analysis and advertising purposes, the extension function of Google Analytics enables the so-called DoubleClick cookie to recognize your browser when you visit other websites. Google will use this information to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

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

Google AdSense

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

Google Ads

For advertising purposes in Google search results and on third-party websites, the so-called Google Remarketing Cookie is set when you visit our website, which automatically enables interest-based advertising by collecting and processing 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 and based on the pages you visit. Any further data processing will only take place if you have activated the “personalized advertising” setting in your Google account. In this case, if you are logged in to Google while visiting our website, Google will use your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define target group lists for cross-device remarketing.

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

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

Google reCAPTCHA

Google reCAPTCHA collects data (IP address, time of visit, browser information and information about your use of our website) and uses JavaScript and cookies to analyze your use of our website in order to protect against misuse of our web forms and spam by automated software (so-called bots). In addition, other cookies stored in your browser by Google services are analyzed. No personal data is read or saved from the input fields of the respective form.

Google Tag Manager

Google Tag Manager allows us to manage various codes and services on our website. When implementing the individual tags, Google may also process personal data [e.g. IP address, online identifiers (including cookies)]. Data processing is carried out on the basis of an agreement on order processing by Google.

Various services/technologies can be integrated through the use of the Google Tag Manager.

If you do not wish to use individual tracking services and have therefore deactivated them, the deactivation remains in place for all affected tracking tags that are integrated by the Google Tag Manager.

For website analysis and event tracking, we use Microsoft Advertising Universal Event Tracking (UET) to measure your subsequent usage behavior if you have reached our website via a Microsoft Advertising advertisement, from which usage profiles are created using pseudonyms. For this purpose, cookies may be used and data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information as well as information on your use of our website based on events specified by us, such as visiting a website or subscribing to a newsletter) may be collected, from which user profiles are created using pseudonyms. If 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 create reports on usage behavior (in particular the cross-device user numbers), even if you change your end device, so-called “cross-device tracking”.
