2. Server log files and hosting

When you visit our website, our hosting provider automatically saves usage data in the so-called server log files. These are: IP address of the requesting device, name of file or page visited, date and time of the server request, data volume transferred, referrer URL (the previously visited website), operating system, browser type, browser version, browser language, browser interface, access status (successful submission, errors, etc.).
In accordance with Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR, this serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in the failure-free operation of our website, which predominate in the context of a balancing of interests. The server log files will be deleted within seven days after the end of your page visit.
 
The hosting and display services for our website are partly provided by our hosting provider as part of processing on our behalf. Unless otherwise stated in this privacy policy, all access data and all data collected via the forms on this website are processed on the servers of our hosting provider in Germany.

3. Cookies

We use technologies, including cookies, to make your visit to our website appealing and to enable the use of certain functions. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (desktop, notebook, or mobile device) while visiting our website. The cookies contain specific settings and data.  We use temporary and permanent cookies. The temporary cookies (also called session cookies or transient cookies) are stored only for the duration of your session, which means they will be deleted automatically as soon as you close your browser.  The permanent cookies (also called persistent cookies) remain on your device even after closing your browser, and allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit our website.
 
Some of the cookies we use are absolutely necessary (essential cookies) for the use of certain website functions (e.g. to provide the expressly requested telemedia service or the shopping cart function). The use of essential cookies serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in the unrestricted operation of our website, which predominate in the context of a balancing of interests, in accordance with Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR. The storage of information on your end device or access to information already stored on your end device does not require consent in this case.
 
For functions that are not absolutely necessary, your consent is required to store information on your device or to access information that has already been stored. These are, for example, cookies that are used to optimize our website and your user experience, for web analysis and marketing purposes and, if necessary, to comply with legal obligations (e.g. to be able to prove your consent to the processing of your personal data). Detailed information on this, including the respective legal basis for data processing, can be found in the following sections of this privacy notice. Please note that certain functions of the website may only be usable to a limited extent if you do not give your consent. Your consent will remain in place until you change or reset the corresponding settings on your end device.
 
If you have consented to the use of the respective cookies in accordance with Art. 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR, you can revoke your consent with effect for the future by contacting us using the contact details given in section 1 of this privacy notice.
Alternatively, you can find an overview of all cookies we use under the following link and adjust your cookie settings individually:

You can also set your browser so that cookies are only accepted if you agree to this or you can exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, as well as activate the automatic deletion of all cookies when closing the browser. You can find instructions under the help option of your browser about how to control these settings. However, please note that the functionality of our website may be restricted if you prohibit certain cookies.
For more information on the individual services used and your options to withdraw and object, please refer to the privacy information for the respective service described below.

4. Consent Management Tool

We use the Borlabs Cookie Plugin (“Borlabs”) on our website to inform you about the cookies and other technologies used on our website and, if necessary, to obtain, manage and document your consent to the processing of your personal data by these technologies. This is necessary pursuant to Art. 6(1)(1)(c) GDPR in order to fulfill our legal obligation pursuant to Art. 7(1) GDPR and to be able to prove your consent to the processing of your personal data. Borlabs is an offer of Borlabs GmbH, Hamburger Str. 11, 22083 Hamburg, Germany. When you visit our website, the Borlabs web server stores a so-called Borlabs cookie, which contains information about the respective cookie runtime and version, device and browser information as well as information about your consent behavior. There is no transfer of personal data to Borlabs. Your data will be deleted after one year, unless you have consented to further use in accordance with Art. 6(1)(1)(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 privacy notice.

5. Third country transfer

On our website, we sometimes use technologies from service providers whose registered office or server locations are located in third countries, i.e. outside the EU or the EEA.   If there is no adequacy decision by the EU Commission for this country, an adequate level of data protection must be ensured by means of other suitable guarantees. Suitable guarantees in the form of contractually agreed standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission or binding internal data protection regulations (Binding Corporate Rules) are generally possible, but require prior review by the contracting parties to ensure that an adequate level of protection can be guaranteed.
According to the case law of the European Court of Justice, it may be necessary to take additional protective measures.

We have generally agreed the standard data protection clauses issued by the EU Commission with the providers we use who process personal data in a third country. Where possible, we also agree additional guarantees to ensure that sufficient data protection is guaranteed in third countries without an adequacy decision. Notwithstanding this, it is possible that, despite all contractual and technical measures, the level of data protection in the third country does not correspond to that of the EU. In these cases, if necessary, we will ask you for your consent to transfer your personal data to a third country in accordance with Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR as part of the cookie consent.
In particular, there is a risk that local authorities in the third country may not have sufficiently restricted access rights to your personal data from a European data protection perspective, that we as the data exporter or you as the data subject may not be aware of this or that you may not have sufficient legal remedies to prevent this or to take action against such access. You can find out which third countries we transfer data to in this privacy policy or in our Consent Management Tool.

6. Reach measurement through Matomo

We use the software Matomo, a service provided by InnoCraft Ltd, 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand, www.matomo.org, (“Matomo”). In accordance with Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR, this serves to safeguard our legitimate interests, which predominate in the context of a balancing of interests, in optimising our offer by measuring reach. Matomo is configured in such a way that no personal data is collected. Among other things, we do not use cookies and anonymise your IP address. These settings do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person. We only receive anonymised information, such as e.g. which browser and device types were used to visit our website, how many website visits our website records and which pages are visited. All data processing by Matomo takes place on the servers of our hosting provider in Germany.
 
You can use the following button to activate range measurement or deactivate it with effect for the future. Please note: Since your setting is stored in the Borlabs cookie (see section 4 of this privacy notice: Consent Management Tool), you must repeat it after deleting your cookies:

7. Meta Business Tools (Meta Pixel, Meta Ads Manager)

We use Meta Business Tools (Meta Pixel, Meta Ads Manager) from Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd, Block J, Serpentine Avenue, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Meta”).

The data is usually transferred to a server of Meta Platforms, Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA and stored there.
Meta sitzt und/ oder verwendet sowohl Server in Ländern, für die die Europäische Kommission durch Beschluss ein angemessenes Datenschutzniveau festgestellt hat (USA, Kanada, Japan, Südkorea, Neuseeland, Vereinigtes Königreich, Argentinien), als auch in Ländern, für die kein Angemessenheitsbeschluss der Europäischen Kommission vorliegt (Australien, Hongkong, Indien, Indonesien, Malaysia, Singapur, Thailand, Taiwan, Brasilien, Mexiko). The adequacy decision for the USA is the basis for third country transfers. For countries without an adequacy decision by the European Commission, the data transfer continues to be based on the standard data protection clauses of the European Commission.
Detailed information on data processing can be found in Meta’s privacy policy: www.facebook.com/about/privacy.
 
Meta Pixel
The meta pixel processes data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information, information about your use of our website) through the use of cookies (see section 3 of this privacy notice: Cookies) and creates pseudonymized user profiles from this data. The meta pixel enables your browser to be recognized when you visit other websites with the help of a pseudonymous cookie ID. Diese Informationen können von Meta mit weiteren Daten aus Ihrem Facebook-Konto zusammengeführt und dazu benutzt werden, Auswertungen über die Webseitenaktiviäten zusammenzustellen sowie um weitere mit der Webseitennutzung verbundene Dienstleistungen (insbesondere personalisierte und gruppenbasierte Werbung) zu erbringen.
The data collected with the help of the meta pixel about your activities on our website are processed into statistics about visitor activities and help us to optimize our website and our advertisements. We use conversion tracking technology to measure your usage behavior on our website for analysis and event tracking. Data processing for the analysis and creation of statistics and for conversion tracking is based on an order processing agreement with Meta.
 
Meta Ads Manager
We use the Meta Ads Manager to advertise this website on Facebook, Instagram and possibly other platforms. We define the parameters for each advertising campaign. We use the statistics generated by the meta pixel about visitor activity on our website to place targeted group advertising by defining the characteristics of the target groups (custom audience). We also use remarketing functions to show you personalized advertising. Meta decides which ads are displayed to individual users. Unless otherwise stated, data processing is based on a joint controllership agreement in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR. This joint responsibility is limited to the collection of data and its transmission to Meta. Further data processing by Meta is not covered by this.

In some cases, the payment service providers collect the required data themselves, e.g. on their own website or through a technical integration in the ordering process.

Among others, the external payment service provider Mollie, Mollie B.V., Keizersgracht 313, 1016 EE Amsterdam, Netherlands (“Mollie”) – privacy policy: www.mollie.com/privacy, is used for payment processing on the website.
