However, this obligation does not exist if this notification is impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. Irrespective of this, the user has a right to information about these recipients.

III. Information on data processing

Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies, the deletion of the data does not conflict with any statutory storage requirements and no other information on individual processing methods is subsequently given.

Server data

For technical reasons, in particular to ensure a secure and stable website, data is transmitted to us or to our web space provider by your internet browser. These so-called server log files record, among other things, the type and version of your Internet browser, the operating system, the website from which you switched to our website (referrer URL), the website(s) of our website that you visit, the date and time of the respective access as well as the IP address of the Internet connection from which our website is used.

The data collected in this way is stored temporarily, but not together with other data from you.

This storage takes place on the legal basis of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality and security of our website.

The data will be deleted after seven days at the latest, provided that no further storage is required for evidentiary purposes. Otherwise, the data is completely or partially excluded from deletion until the final clarification of an incident.

Contract execution

The data transmitted by you to make use of our range of goods and/or services will be processed by us for the purpose of contract processing and are necessary in this respect. Contract conclusion and contract execution are not possible without providing your data.

The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

We delete the data upon completion of the contract, but must observe the retention periods under tax and commercial law.
As part of the contract processing, we pass on your data to the transport company commissioned with the delivery of the goods or to the financial service provider, insofar as the transfer is necessary for the delivery of the goods or for payment purposes.

The legal basis for the transfer of the data is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b) GDPR.

Contact requests / Contact option

If you contact us via the contact form or email, the data you provide will be used to process your request. Providing the data is necessary for processing and answering your request - without providing it, we cannot answer your request at all or only to a limited extent.

The legal basis for this processing is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b) GDPR.

Your data will be deleted if your request has been answered conclusively and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention requirements, such as in the case of any subsequent contract processing.

Web analysis by Matomo (formerly PIWIK)

1. Scope of processing of personal data

We use the open source software tool Matomo (formerly PIWIK) on our website to analyze the surfing behavior of our users. The software sets a cookie on the user's computer. If individual pages of our website are accessed, the following data is stored:

(1) Two bytes of the IP address of the user's system
(2) The accessed website
(3) The website from which the user accessed our website (referrer)
(4) The sub-pages accessed from the accessed website
(5) The length of stay on the website
(6) The frequency of visits to the website

The software runs exclusively on the servers of our website. A storage of the personal data of the users only takes place there. The data will not be passed on to third parties.
The software is set in such a way that the IP addresses are not saved completely, but 2 bytes of the IP address are masked (e.g.: 192.168.xxx.xxx). In this way, it is no longer possible to assign the shortened IP address to the calling computer.

2. Legal basis for processing personal data

The legal basis for the processing of users' personal data is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

3. Purpose of data processing

The processing of users' personal data enables us to analyze the surfing behavior of our users. By evaluating the data obtained, we are able to compile information about the use of the individual components of our website. This helps us to constantly improve our website and its user-friendliness and to optimize online marketing. Our legitimate interest in the processing of the data according to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR also lies in these purposes. By making the IP address anonymous, the interest of the user in the protection of their personal data is sufficiently taken into account.

4. Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for our recording purposes.
In our case, this is the case after 180 days.

5. Possibility of objection and elimination

In this way, another cookie is set on your system, which signals our system not to save the user's data. If the user deletes the corresponding cookie from their own system in the meantime, they must set the opt-out cookie again.

Opt-out complete; your visits to this website will not be recorded by the Web Analytics tool. Note that if you clear your cookies, delete the opt-out cookie, or if you change computers or Web browsers, you will need to perform the opt-out procedure again.

You may choose to prevent this website from aggregating and analyzing the actions you take here. Doing so will protect your privacy, but will also prevent the owner from learning from your actions and creating a better experience for you and other users.
