Privacy policy

Privacy Policy

The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to inform you and the public about the type, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process, and to explain the rights to which you are entitled.

  1. Definitions

The terminology of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) forms the basis of our Privacy Policy. When we use the following terms in our Privacy Policy, they have the following meanings:

  • personal data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter the 'data subject'). A person is deemed 'identifiable' if they can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, or an online identifier, or by reference to one or more specific factors expressing the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.

  • data subject

A person is “affected” if their personal data are processed by the controller.

  • Processing

"Processing" is understood to mean any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.

  • Restriction of Processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting their future processing.

  • Profiling

"Profiling" refers to the automated processing of personal data intended for the evaluation, analysis, or prediction of aspects (in particular with regard to work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements).

  • Pseudonymization

Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures that ensure the personal data are not assigned to an identified or identifiable natural person.

  • Controller or controller responsible for processing

The controller or controller responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are laid down by Union law or by the law of the Member States, the controller or the specific criteria for its designation may be provided for by Union law or by the law of the Member States.

  • Processor

A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

  • Recipient

A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, irrespective of whether it is a third party or not. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the course of a specific investigatory mandate under Union law or the law of the Member States are not regarded as recipients.

  • Third party

Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor, and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or the processor, are authorised to process personal data.

  • Consent

Consent is any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes, given for the specific case, in the form of a statement or other clear affirmative action by which the data subject signifies that he or she agrees to the processing of personal data concerning him or her.

  1. Collection of Data and Legal Basis for Processing

In the context of an order, the legal basis for processing personal data is the handling of the order and the performance of the contract to which the data subject is a party. The processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

In the context of contacting us independently of an order (e.g., via email or the contact form), the legal basis is our legitimate interest in processing your inquiry. The processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

In the case of direct marketing, the legal basis is our legitimate interest. The processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Where personal data are processed based on explicit consent, the legal basis for processing personal data is consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

In the context of processing personal data based on contractual obligations regarding updates for goods with digital elements or for digital products, the legal basis is our statutory duty to inform pursuant to Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

  1. a) Collection of general data and information

When you access our website, information of a general nature is collected automatically. This information (so-called “server log files”) includes, for example, the type of Internet browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet service provider, and similar data. This information does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about you personally. It is technically necessary to correctly deliver the web content you request and is inevitably generated when using the Internet. We statistically evaluate anonymous information of this kind to optimize our online presence and the underlying technology.

The following information is collected and stored when you access our website:

  • IP address of your PC or your internet-enabled device

You can identify an encrypted connection by the string "https://" and the padlock icon in your browser’s address bar.

  1. b) Registration and ordering on our website

If you register on our website or create a user account, personal data about you will also be collected in the process. Please note that, while registration may provide extended access to content on our websites, it is not a mandatory prerequisite for using our website. The specific personal data transmitted to the controller are apparent from the respective input form used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject are collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for its own purposes. The controller may arrange for disclosure to one or more processors, for example, a parcel service provider for postal delivery to you, who likewise use the personal data solely for internal purposes attributable to the controller.

During a registration process on our website, the data you enter during registration will be stored.

The purpose of collecting and storing data is:

  • Customer Identification

  1. c) Newsletter

If you voluntarily subscribe to our newsletter (a regular promotional information email with offers or other information from our company), the data you provide will be used solely for this purpose and will not be disclosed to third parties.

This also includes information that is relevant to the service or the registration. The validity of the email address is verified using the so-called “double opt-in” procedure. For this purpose, the newsletter subscription is verified by sending a confirmation email and checking the reply. No further data are collected.

You may unsubscribe from the newsletter (withdraw your consent) at any time, either by sending a message to the contact method described below or via the link provided for this purpose in the newsletter. No costs will be incurred other than the standard transmission costs (e.g., telephone call charges). Data processing based on your consent is carried out pursuant to Art. 6(1) sentence 1 (a) GDPR.

In this respect, processing of your data is based solely on our legitimate interest in personalized direct advertising pursuant to Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO. If you initially objected to the use of your email address for this purpose, we will not send any emails. You are entitled to object at any time, with effect for the future, to the use of your email address for the aforementioned advertising purpose by notifying the controller named at the beginning. You will incur only transmission costs according to the basic rates for this. Upon receipt of your objection, your email address will be removed from the mailing list.

If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Data processing based on your consent is carried out pursuant to Art. 6(1) sentence 1(a) GDPR. The personal data collected for use of the contact form are automatically deleted once your inquiry has been resolved. You have the right to withdraw your consent to data processing at any time.

  1. e) Comment function in the blog on the website

When comments are posted on our site, the chosen username is also recorded and stored alongside this information so that unlawful content can be traced and pursued to relieve us of liability.

  1. Retention period / Collection and storage of personal data, as well as the nature and purpose of their use / Disclosure of data

The purpose of the transmitted personal data is customer identification, performance of contracts, order processing, customer correspondence, invoicing, direct marketing, as well as the handling of any potential liability claims or the enforcement of any claims against you.

As a general rule, your stored personal data will be deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.

We store the personal data collected for processing your order and transmitted to us until the statutory retention period expires. Thereafter, your data will be deleted by us, unless, pursuant to Article 6(1) sentence 1 point (c) GDPR, due to tax and commercial law retention and documentation obligations (arising from the HGB, StGB, or AO) or are obligated by statutory information obligations to retain data for a longer period, or you have consented to further retention pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

If you contact us independently of an order (e.g., via email or the contact form), we will store your data until the processing of your inquiry and the related matter have been completed and no statutory retention obligations apply.

When processing personal data on the basis of explicit consent, we retain the data until the data subject revokes their consent.

Within the scope of processing personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, we retain this data until the right to object pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR is exercised by the data subject.

We store in the context of processing personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR for the purpose of direct marketing, these data until the right to object pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR is exercised by the data subject.

If, pursuant to our contractual obligations, we must offer updates for goods with digital elements or for digital products, we will use the data you provided in the context of the order to inform you about updates (via email or by post).

Disclosure of Data

Your personal data are disclosed by us to third parties solely to the service partners involved in executing the contract, for example the logistics company entrusted with delivery and the credit institution tasked with payment matters. Whenever your personal data are passed on to third parties, the scope of the data transmitted is always limited to the necessary minimum.

Your personal data will not be transmitted to third parties for purposes other than those set out below.

We disclose your personal data to third parties only if:

  • you have given your explicit consent to this pursuant to Art. 6(1) sentence 1 point (a) GDPR,
  • the disclosure pursuant to Article 6(1) sentence 1 point (f) GDPR is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest warranting protection in the non-disclosure of your data,
  • in the event that there is a legal obligation for disclosure pursuant to Art. 6(1) sentence 1 point (c) GDPR, as well as
  • this is legally permissible and, under Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR, necessary for the performance of contracts with you.
  1. Obligation to provide - possible consequences of not providing

The provision of personal data is in part required by law (tax law) and may also arise from contractual provisions (transparency of the contracting party). Failure to provide personal data would prevent the conclusion of a contract and therefore does not take place. Any information about the provision of personal data required by law or contract will be provided to you by the controller.

  1. Existence of automated decision-making

We do not employ automated decision-making or profiling.

  1. Routine deletion and blocking of personal data

These usage profiles may be used, for instance, to place targeted advertisements. For these purposes, cookies are generally stored on users’ computers, in which users’ usage behavior and interests are stored.

However, your IP address will first be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of reCAPTCHA will not be merged with other Google data. Your data may also be transmitted to the USA.

DoubleClick by Google

This website uses the DoubleClick by Google online marketing tool operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("DoubleClick").

DoubleClick uses cookies to display advertisements that are relevant to users, to improve reports on campaign performance, or to prevent a user from seeing the same advertisements multiple times. Using a cookie ID, Google records which advertisements are served in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed repeatedly. Processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our website pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Furthermore, DoubleClick can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that are related to ad requests. This occurs, for example, when a user views a DoubleClick ad and later, using the same browser, visits the advertiser's website and makes a purchase there. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain personal data.

Due to the marketing tools in use, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to Google’s server. We have no influence over the scope and further use of the data that Google collects through this tool and therefore inform you to the best of our knowledge: By integrating DoubleClick, Google receives information that you have accessed the relevant part of our website or clicked one of our ads.

Google AdWords

Part of our website includes integration of the so-called Google AdWords service. This is an online advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads both in Google’s search engine results and within the Google advertising network. Google AdWords enables an advertiser to define certain keywords in advance, by means of which an ad will be displayed in Google’s search engine results only when the user retrieves a keyword-relevant search result using the search engine. In the Google advertising network, ads are distributed to topic-relevant websites by an automated algorithm, taking into account the previously defined keywords.

The operating company providing the Google AdWords services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. The purpose of Google AdWords is to promote our website by displaying interest-based advertising on third-party companies’ websites and in the search results of the Google search engine, as well as to display third-party advertising on our website. The data subject may prevent our website from setting cookies at any time, as already described above, by configuring the web browser used accordingly and thereby permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a configuration of the web browser used would also prevent Google from placing a conversion cookie on the data subject’s information technology system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the web browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do so, the data subject must access the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the Internet browsers they use and configure the desired settings there.

Google+


Our website uses so-called social plugins (“plugins”) of the Google+ social network, which is operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). The plugins can be recognized, for example, by buttons with the “+1” symbol on a white or colored background. An overview of Google plugins and their appearance can be found here: https://developers.google.com/+/plugins When you access a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to Google’s servers.

The charge is made to the payment card stored in Google Pay or to a payment system verified there (e.g., PayPal). For payments over 25 €, you must first unlock your mobile device using the respective verification method.

Google thereafter transmits the payment information stored with Google Pay in the form of a single-use virtual card number—which contains no information about the actual payment instrument stored with Google Pay—to the merchant for payment verification.

For all payments, Google Pay acts solely as an intermediary. The execution of the transaction occurs exclusively in the relationship between the user and the originating website by charging the payment method stored with Google Pay.

The information communicated in the course of the ordering process, together with the order information, is transmitted to Google.

The disclosure and processing of data is carried out for the purpose of payment processing pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.


Google may collect data for every payment made via Google Pay.

These include:

  • Registration information
  • Information obtained from third parties:
  • Transaction information


This processing is carried out on the basis of the legitimate interest in proper accounting, the verification of transaction data, and the optimization and maintenance of the functionality of the Google Pay service pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Apple Pay uses security features built into your device’s hardware and software to protect your transactions. According to Apple, Apple Pay is designed to protect your personal data. Apple does not store the original credit, debit, or prepaid card numbers used with Apple Pay and has no access to them. Apple also does not store transaction data that could be used to identify you when you use Apple Pay with credit, debit, or prepaid cards. Your transactions are visible only to you, the merchant or developer, and your bank or card issuer.


For payment processing, the information provided during the ordering process, along with order details, is transmitted to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then re-encrypts this data and forwards it to the payment service configured in Apple Pay.

Once the payment has been completed, Apple transmits your Device Account Number together with the transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the app or website. Neither Apple nor your device transmits the actual number of your payment card to the app.

The transfer is carried out for the purpose of payment processing pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. If personal data are processed in the course of the described disclosures, the processing is carried out solely for the purpose of payment processing pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.

When you use Apple Pay on iPhone or Apple Watch to confirm a purchase you made in Safari on Mac, the Mac and the authorizing device communicate over an encrypted channel on Apple’s servers.
