Data protection declaration
Unless stated otherwise below, the provision of your personal data is neither legally nor contractually obligatory, nor required for conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide your data. Not providing it will have no consequences. This only applies as long as the processing procedures below do not state otherwise.
“Personal data” is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
Server log files
You can use our websites without submitting personal data. Every time our website is accessed, user data is transferred to us or our web hosts/IT service providers by your internet browser and stored in server log files. This stored data includes for example the name of the site called up, date and time of the request, the IP address, amount of data transferred and the provider making the request. The processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1) f) GDPR due to our legitimate interests in ensuring the smooth operation of our website as well as improving our services.
Your data may be transferred to third countries outside the European Union for which an adequacy decision has been made by the EU Commission.

Data processing when using the reporting system in accordance with the TCO Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2021/784) and the Digital
Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065)
If you send us information regarding suspected terrorist content or other illegal content by email, contact form or other electronic means of
communication provided by us, we will only collect your personal data (email address, name, message text) to the extent provided by you.
The data processing serves the purpose of carrying out a reporting procedure in accordance with the aforementioned regulations.
The data processing is carried out to fulfill a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR in conjunction with Art. 15 TCO-VO and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR in conjunction with Art. 11, 12 and 16 of the Digital Services Act.
Your data will then be deleted in compliance with statutory retention periods.
Proactive contact of the customer by e-mail
If you make contact with us proactively via email, we shall collect your personal data (name, email address, message text) only to the extent
provided by you. The purpose of the data processing is to handle and respond to your contact request.
If the initial contact serves to implement pre-contractual measures (e.g. consultation in the case of purchase interest, order creation) or
concerns an agreement already concluded between you and us, this data processing takes place on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
If the initial contact occurs for other reasons, this data processing takes place on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for the purposes of our
overriding, legitimate interest in handling and responding to your request. In this case, on grounds relating to your particular situation,
you have the right to object at any time to this processing of personal data concerning you and carried out on the basis of Article
6(1)(f) GDPR.
We will only use your email address to process your request. Your data will subsequently be deleted in compliance with statutory retention
periods, unless you have agreed to further processing and use.
Advertising
Use of your email address for mailing of newsletters
We use your email address outside of contractual processing exclusively to send you a newsletter for our own marketing purposes, if you
have explicitly agreed to this. The processing will be carried out on the basis of art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR with your consent. You can withdraw your
consent at any time without affecting the legality of the processing carried out with your consent up to the withdrawal. You can unsubscribe
from the newsletter at any time using the relevant link in the newsletter or by contacting us. Your email address will then be removed from the
distributor.
Use of your email address for mailing of direct marketing
We use your email address, which we obtained in the course of selling a good or service, for the electronic transmission of marketing for our
own goods or services which are similar to those you have already purchased from us, unless you have objected to this use. You must
provide your email address in order to conclude a contract. Failure to provide it will prevent the conclusion of any contract. The processing will
be carried out on the basis of art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR due to our justified interest in direct marketing. You can object to this use of your email
address at any time by contacting us. You will find the contact details for exercising your right to object in our imprint. You can also
use the link provided in the marketing email. This will not involve any costs other than transmission costs at basic tariffs.
Use of Mailchimp
We use the service of Rocket Science Group LLC (675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000 Atlanta, GA 30308, USA; “Mailchimp”) for
newsletter dispatch as part of an order processing. We pass on the information you provide during the newsletter registration (e-mail address, first and last name, if applicable) to Mailchimp. The
data processing serves the purpose of sending the newsletter and its statistical evaluation.
In order to evaluate newsletter campaigns, the newsletters sent contain a 1×1 pixel graphic (tracking pixel) or a tracking link. This enables us
to determine whether you have opened the newsletter and whether you have clicked any integrated links. Within this context, we collect your
personal data such as IP address, browser type and device as well as the time. A usage profile can be generated from this data under a
pseudonym. The data collected will not be used to identify you personally. The collected data is only used for statistical analysis to improve
newsletter campaigns.
The data processing serves the purpose of sending the newsletter and its statistical evaluation. Your data is usually transmitted to Mailchimp
servers in the USA and stored there. For the USA, there is an adequacy decision of the EU Commission, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy
Framework (TADPF). Mailchimp has certified itself in accordance with the TADPF and has thus undertaken to comply with European data
protection principles.
The processing of your personal data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR from our overriding legitimate interest in a targeted, effective
advertising and user-friendly newsletter system. On grounds relating to your particular situation, you have the right to object at any
time to this processing of personal data concerning you.
