Privacy Statement


We are pleased that you visit our website and thank you for your interest in our company and our products and services. Protecting your privacy when using our website is important to us. Therefore, please note the following information:

1. Collection, processing and use of personal data

You can generally visit our websites without us collecting personal data from you. Personal data are only collected if you inform us of these by yourself to carry out a contract, when opening a customer account or in the context of establishing contact. This data will be used without your express consent to fulfill the contract and process your inquiries.

In addition, personal data is collected when you sign up for our e-mail newsletter. This data is used by us for advertising purposes in the form of our e-mail newsletter, provided that you have expressly consented to it as follows: "Sign up for the newsletter" when ordering or directly on our website.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link provided in the newsletter or by sending us an appropriate message. After cancellation, your e-mail address will be deleted immediately.

2. Disclosure of personal data

We do not share your personal data including your home address and your e-mail address without your explicit and revocable consent to third parties. This does not apply to our service partners who require the transmission of data for order processing (eg the shipping company responsible for the delivery). In these cases, however, the amount of data transmitted is limited to the minimum required.

3. Cookies

In order to make the visit to our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use so-called cookies on various pages. These are small text files that are stored on your device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted after the end of the browser session, ie after closing your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your device and allow us or our affiliate to recognize your browser on your next visit (persistent cookies). You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and individually decide on their acceptance or exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general. Failure to accept cookies may limit the functionality of our website.

4. Web analysis service

This website uses Google Analytics and Google Remarketing. These are services of Google Inc. ("Google"). Google uses so-called "cookies", text files that are stored on your computer and that allows an analysis of the use of the website by you. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including your IP address) is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. The IP address is then shortened by Google to the last three digits, a clear assignment of the IP address is therefore no longer possible. Google complies with the US Safe Harbor Privacy Policy and is registered with the US Department of Commerce Safe Harbor Program. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity for website operators and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if required by law or as far as third parties process this data on behalf of Google. Third parties, including Google, place ads on websites on the Internet. Third party providers, including Google, use stored cookies to serve ads based on previous visits by a user to this site. Google will in no case associate your IP address with other Google data. The data collection and storage can be contradicted at any time with effect for the future. You can deactivate the use of cookies by Google by setting your browser software accordingly by going to the page www.google.com/privacy/ads and clicking on the "opt-out" button. Alternatively, you can disable the use of third-party cookies by visiting the opt-out page of the Network Advertising Initiative at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp. For more information about Google's terms, visit www.google.com/intl/en/privacy. However, please be aware that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.

5. Use of Facebook plugins

Our website uses so-called social plugins ("plugins") of the social network Facebook operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook"). The plugins are marked with a Facebook logo or the addition "Social Plug-in of Facebook" or "Facebook Social Plugin". An overview of the Facebook plugins and their appearance can be found here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins

If you visit a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser connects directly to the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to your browser and integrated into the page. Through this integration, Facebook receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook profile or are currently not logged in to Facebook. This information (including your IP address) will be transmitted by your browser directly to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there.

If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can immediately assign the visit to our website to your Facebook profile. If you interact with the plugins, for example, click the "Like" button or leave a comment, this information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. The information will also be posted on your Facebook profile and displayed to your Facebook friends.

The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for the protection of your privacy can be found in the Facebook privacy policy: http://www.facebook.com/policy.php

If you do not want Facebook to directly assign the data collected via our website to your Facebook profile, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website. You can completely prevent the loading of Facebook plugins with add-ons for your browser, eg with the "Facebook Blocker" (http://webgraph.com/resources/facebookblocker/).

6. Your rights and your contact

You have a right to free information about your stored data and, if necessary, a right to correct, block or delete this data. If you have further questions regarding the collection, processing or use of your personal data, please contact us. The same applies to information, blocking, deletion and correction requests regarding your personal data as well as for revocations of granted consent. You can find the contact adress in our imprint.
