SSL and TLS encryption
For security reasons, and to protect the transmission of confidential contents such as orders or requests that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection because the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://”, and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, third parties cannot read the data you transfer to us.
Access, blocking, deletion
Within the applicable legal regulations, you have the right at any time to access for free any information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing, and, where applicable, a right to have these data corrected, blocked or deleted.

Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to demand restrictions to the processing of your personal data. To do so, you can contact us at the address under the site notice at any time. You have a right to restrict processing in the following cases:
- If you dispute the correctness of the personal data stored with us, it will usually take time to check this. For the duration of the check, you have the right to demand restrictions on the processing of your personal data.
If your personal data were/are processed unlawfully, you can ask for data processing to be restricted instead of requesting the deletion of the data. - If we no longer need your personal data, but you need them to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to demand restrictions on the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
- If you have objected as per Art 21 (1) GDPR, it is necessary to weigh up your and our interests. Until it has been determined whose interests outweigh the other, you have the right to demand restrictions on the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, processing of these data – apart from their storage – is only permitted with your consent or to assert, excise or defend legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of a significant public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
Objection to advertising emails
We hereby object to the use of contact data published under the Impressumspflicht (German legislation requiring specific information to be provided on every website) to send advertising and information material not explicitly requested. The operators of these pages retain the explicit right to take legal steps in case of unwanted sending of advertising information, such as in the form of spam emails.
4. Data collection on our website
Cookies
Some internet pages use cookies. Cookies do not damage your computer and contain no viruses. Cookies are used to make our website more user-friendly, more effective and more secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so called “session cookies”. These are deleted automatically after your visit is over. Other cookies remain on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to identify your browser when you next visit us.
In your browser settings, you can choose to be informed whenever a cookie is placed and then permit only specific ones, you can reject the acceptance of cookies in specific cases or in general, and you can activate automatic cookie deletion when you close your browser. The functionality of this website may be affected if you deactivate cookies.
Cookies that are required for the completion of the electronic communication procedure or to provide specific functions you require (e.g. shopping cart function) are saved on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies in order to provide services in optimised and technologically flawless fashion. If corresponding consent was requested (e.g. consent to cookies storage), processing is performed exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR; this consent can be revoked at any time. If other cookies (e.g. cookies to analyse your surfing behaviour) are saved, they are handled separately in this data protection declaration.
Server log data
The provider of our pages automatically collects and stores information in server log files, which your browser transmits to us automatically. These are:
- Browser type and browser version
- Operating system in use
- Referrer URL
- Host name of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request
- IP address
These data are not brought together with other data sources.
Data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, which permits data processing for the purpose of fulfilling a contract or pre-contract measures.
Contact form
If you send us inquiries via our contact form, the information you enter in the contact form, including your contact data, will be stored by us so we can process your request, and in the event of follow-up questions. We do not pass these data on without your consent.
The data entered in the contact form are thus processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. Simply send a message to us via email. The lawfulness of the data processing procedures that took place prior to the revocation remain unaffected by the revocation.
The data you entered in our contact form remain with us until you ask us to delete them, revoke your consent for storage, or the reason for data storage no longer exists (e.g. once we have finished processing your request). Mandatory legal regulations – particularly storage periods – remain unaffected.
