Privacy Policy.
Information on Privacy Protection.
Welcome to our website and thank you for your interest in our company. To clear up any concerns you may have regarding the possible use of any of your personal information, we have taken the time to explain our privacy protection policies and the security measures implemented to keep your personal data safe. We have also provided information on your legal rights in connection with the processing of your personal data.
Personal Information.
In general, we do not require any personal information from you when you access our Website. We only record the name of your Internet service provider and any web pages that you access on our site. You therefore remain an anonymous Internet user. The information is collected purely for statistical purposes (e.g. the number of times each individual page is accessed). Personal information such as company, name, street, postcode, city, country, telephone, fax, e-mail address are only required if you e.g. register for an event or subscribe to our newsletter. There are still alternative means of communication that offer more security (e.g. snail mail or fax).
Cookies.
Our Internet site uses cookies on several pages. They serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective and safe. Cookies are small text files that are archived on your computer and saved (locally on your hard drive) by your browser. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain any viruses or malware. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies. If you do not wish to allow cookies, you can change your browser settings at any time. You will still be able to use our Internet pages without any limitations.
Webtrekk.
Our website uses the services of Webtrekk, a Web analysis service from Webtrekk GmbH, to collect statistical data on the use of our website and optimise our services accordingly. Collected data is sent only to our statistics provider, Webtrekk GmbH. Webtrekk GmbH is data-privacy certified for Web analytics. Collection occurs via a pixel, which is built into the pages of the site. Your IP address is anonymised, saved and sent, making it impossible to identify you via your IP address. Webtrekk uses session cookies, which are deleted when the browser session ends. The same is true for last-click cookies. We also utilise ever cookies, which last no longer than 6 months and are deleted after a pre-defined number of uses. These cookies are pseudonyms as defined by Article 15 Paragraph 3 of the German Telemedia Act. The inclusion of additional personal data is not permitted. The collected data is deleted once there is no longer a need to save it for analytical purposes, or upon user request. Users can opt out of the anonymised tracking of their visit data at any time, so that they are no longer tracked in the future. For exclusion from Webtrekk tracking, a cookie named “webTrekkOptOut” from the domain webtrekk.net is used. This tracking opt-out is active as long as this cookie is not deleted. To activate this opt-out, please click on the send button.
Use and Transfer of Personal Information / Purpose.
All personal data obtained from you during your time browsing our online shop will only be collected, processed and used for the aforementioned purposes. We will make sure that this only occurs within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, and only once your consent is given.
Public Index of Procedures / Access Right.
If requested, we will gladly send you our public index of procedures in compliance with Article 4 e of the German Federal Data Protection Act. If required, we can also share, in writing, if and which of your personal information have been saved.
Links to Other Providers.
Our website contains—clearly recognisable—links to Internet sites of other companies. However, please note that we have no influence over the content of these pages and cannot be held responsible for it. The respective provider or operator is always responsible for the content on their page. The linked pages were tested for possible legal violations and recognisable infringements when they were added. There was no illegal content recognisable at the time they were linked. Permanent control of the content of linked pages is unreasonable without concrete evidence of infringement. Should any infringement be detected, the corresponding links will be removed immediately.
Security Policies.
We have taken appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect our employees', customers' and suppliers' information from accidental or deliberate manipulation, loss, damage or unauthorised access. Security is continually tested by experts and adjusted to reflect new standards.
