Thank you for your interest in our website. Protecting your privacy is very important to us. We treat your personal data as confidential and handle it in compliance with statutory data protection regulations and this data privacy statement.

We would like to point out that the transmission of data on the Internet (e.g. e-mail communication) can be subject to security flaws. It is impossible to protect data completely against access by third parties.

We will now tell you in detail about how we handle your information.

 

Access details and hosting

You can visit our website without providing any information about yourself. Each time a page of the site is accessed, all the web server automatically stores is a ‘server log file’, which may contain things like the name of the file requested, your IP address, the date and time of request, the quantity of data transferred and the provider making the request (access data); it also documents the request.

These access details are evaluated purely for the purpose of ensuring that the website works properly and for improving it. This, pursuant to Art. 6 Par. 1 Clause 1 lit. f GDPR, serves to assert our interest in displaying our website correctly, which is considered overridingly legitimate in the overall weighing of interests. All access details are deleted no later than seven days after the end of your session on our site.

A third-party provider supplies us with the services of hosting and displaying our website on our behalf. This serves to assert our interest in displaying our website correctly, which is considered overridingly legitimate in the overall weighing of interests. All of the data collected as described below while you are using this website, or in forms at the online store, is processed on that provider’s servers. It will only processed on other servers within the scope described here.

Revocation

There are many data processing activities that can only be done with your express consent. You can revoke consent you have given if reasons arise that pertain to your particular situation. An informal e-mail to us will suffice. Revoking your consent does not render illegal any data processing done up to that point.

If you exercise your right to revoke, your personal data will no longer be used for those purposes. This does not apply if it is being processed for direct marketing purposes.
