Privacy policy

Protecting your personal data is particularly important to us. We therefore process this data exclusively on the basis of the applicable legal provisions (GDPR, DSG). This privacy notice explains the most important aspects of data processing on our website.

Where this website offers the option to enter personal or business data, users disclose this data on an expressly voluntary basis.

Contacting us

If you contact us using the form on the website or by email, we will store the data you provide for six months to process your enquiry and deal with any follow-up questions. However, we will not pass on this data without your consent.

Data storage

Please note that, to simplify the purchasing process and subsequently fulfil the contract, the webshop operator uses cookies to store the connection holder’s IP data, as well as the purchaser’s name, address and credit card number. We also store the following data for the purpose of fulfilling the contract: first name and surname, telephone number, email address and address. The data you provide is necessary to fulfil the contract or carry out pre-contractual measures. Without this data, we cannot enter into a contract with you. Data is not transferred to third parties, except for the transfer of credit card details to the processing banks and payment service providers for the purpose of debiting the purchase price, to the transport and shipping company commissioned by us to deliver the goods, and to our tax adviser to fulfil our obligations under tax law.

If the purchasing process is abandoned, the data stored by us will be deleted. If a contract is concluded, all data arising from the contractual relationship will be stored until the statutory retention period under tax law expires (7 years). The name, address, goods purchased and purchase date will also be stored until the product liability period expires (10 years).

Data is processed on the basis of the statutory provisions of the DSG and the GDPR.

Cookies

Cookies are small files that enable this website to store specific, user-related information on visitors’ computers while they visit our website. Cookies help us determine how frequently our web pages are used and how many users visit them, and make our services convenient and efficient for you.

We use both session cookies, which are stored temporarily only for the duration of your visit to our website, and permanent cookies to retain information about visitors who return to our website. The purpose of these cookies is to provide the best possible user navigation, recognise returning visitors and present an appealing website and interesting content on repeat visits. The content of a permanent cookie is limited to an identification number. Names, IP addresses, etc. are not stored. We do not create individual profiles of your browsing behaviour.

You can also use our services without cookies. You can disable the storage of cookies in your browser, restrict it to certain websites or configure your web browser (Chrome, IE, Firefox,…) to notify you whenever a cookie is sent. You can also delete cookies from your PC’s hard drive at any time. Please note, however, that this may limit how the site is displayed and how you can navigate it.

Privacy policy for the use of Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, text files stored on your computer that enable analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. If IP anonymisation is activated on this website, however, Google will first truncate your IP address within member states of the European Union or other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and provide the website operator with other services relating to website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be combined with other Google data. You can prevent cookies from being stored by adjusting your browser settings. Please note, however, that you may then be unable to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).

Further information on terms of use and data protection can be found at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html and https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de. Please note that Google Analytics on this website has been extended with the code “gat._anonymizeIp();” to ensure anonymised collection of IP addresses (known as IP masking).

Privacy policy for the use of Google Maps

This website uses Google Maps to display map information. When Google Maps is used, Google also collects, processes and uses data about visitors’ use of the Maps functions on the website. Further information about data processing by Google can be found in Google’s privacy policy at https://www.google.at/intl/de/policies/privacy/. Settings can also be changed in the privacy centre there to manage and protect your data.

Privacy policy for the use of Facebook

Our pages incorporate plugins from the social network Facebook, 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. You can recognise the Facebook plugins by the Facebook logo or the “Like” button on our site. An overview of the Facebook plugins can be found here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.

When you visit our pages, the plugin establishes a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server. Facebook thereby receives information that you have visited our site with your IP address. If you click the Facebook “Like” button while logged into your Facebook account, you can link the content of our pages to your Facebook profile. This enables Facebook to associate your visit to our pages with your user account. Please note that, as the provider of these pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or how Facebook uses it. Further information can be found in Facebook’s privacy policy at https://www.facebook.com/policy.php. If you do not want Facebook to be able to associate your visit to our pages with your Facebook user account, please log out of your Facebook user account.

Privacy policy for the use of Google Adsense

This website uses Google AdSense, a service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”) for incorporating advertisements. Google AdSense uses “cookies”, text files stored on your computer that enable analysis of your use of the website. Google AdSense also uses web beacons (invisible graphics). These web beacons allow information such as visitor traffic on these pages to be analysed.

The information generated by cookies and web beacons about the use of this website (including your IP address) and the delivery of advertising formats is transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google may pass this information on to its contractual partners. However, Google will not combine your IP address with other data stored about you.

You can prevent cookies from being installed by adjusting your browser settings. Please note, however, that you may then be unable to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. By using this website, you consent to Google processing the data collected about you in the manner and for the purpose described above.

Privacy policy for the use of YouTube

Our website incorporates functions of the YouTube service. These functions are provided by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. The embedded videos place cookies on users’ computers when the website is accessed. Users who have disabled cookies for Google’s advertising programme will not receive such cookies when accessing YouTube videos either. However, YouTube also stores non-personal usage information in other cookies. If you wish to prevent this, you must block it in your browser.

Privacy policy for the use of web fonts

These web pages use external fonts, Google Fonts. Google Fonts is a service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). These web fonts are integrated by making a request to a server, usually a Google server in the USA. This tells the server which of our web pages you have visited. Google also stores the IP address of the browser on the device used to visit these web pages. Further information can be found in Google’s privacy notices:

Google reCAPTCHA

We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA”) on our websites. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). reCAPTCHA is used to check whether data entered on our websites (e.g. in a contact form) is entered by a person or an automated programme. To do this, reCAPTCHA analyses the website visitor’s behaviour using various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, the time the visitor spends on the website or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.

The reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not notified that an analysis is taking place.

Data is processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its online services from abusive automated data harvesting and SPAM.
