We point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating by e-mail) may have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

10629 Berlin
Phone: 030 – 219 666 29

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, e-mail addresses, etc.).

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent that you have already given at any time. All that is required is an informal notification via e-mail to us. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

The competent supervisory authority for data protection issues is the State Data Protection Commissioner of the federal state in which our company is headquartered.

If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible party, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipient, and the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, a right to rectification (correction), blocking, or deletion of this data.

Objection to Promotional E-mails

3. Data collection on our website

Cookies, Server Log Files, and Contact Form

Cookies

The internet pages sometimes use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. The functionality of this website may be limited if cookies are deactivated.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions you desire (e.g., shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically flawless and optimized provision of his services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your surfing behavior) are stored, they will be treated separately in this data privacy policy.

Server Log Files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

Browser type and browser version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Hostname of the accessing computer
Time of the server
request
IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of the data entered into the contact form therefore takes place exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal notification by e-mail to us is sufficient for this. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage ceases to apply (e.g., after your inquiry has been completely processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

4. Plugins und Tools

Google Maps

This site uses the map service Google Maps via an API. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer.

The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings and making it easy to find the locations we specify on the website. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).

More information on the handling of user data can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

Google Web Fonts

This site uses so-called Web Fonts, provided by Google, for the uniform display of fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the necessary Web Fonts into its browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.

For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect to Google’s servers. This enables Google to know that our website has been accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offerings. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

If your browser does not support Web Fonts, a standard font will be used by your computer.

Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

Facebook Pixel

Our website uses the visitor action pixel from Facebook, Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”), for conversion measurement.

This allows the behavior of page visitors to be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider’s website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This makes it possible to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements for statistical and market research purposes and to optimize future advertising measures.

The data collected is anonymous to us as the operator of this website; we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with the Facebook Data Usage Policy. This enables Facebook to place advertisements on Facebook pages and outside of Facebook. We, as the site operator, have no influence on this use of the data.

You can find further information on the protection of your privacy in Facebook’s privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

You can also deactivate the remarketing function “Custom Audiences” in the advertising settings area under https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen. To do this, you must be logged in to Facebook. If you do not have a Facebook account, you can deactivate usage-based advertising from Facebook on the website of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/.

Spam Protection with Google reCAPTCHA

We have implemented Google reCAPTCHA in forms on our website to verify whether the data entered in the forms is from human visitors or from machines or automated programs, also known as “bots.” This tool automatically analyzes the behavior of website visitors as soon as they interact with the website, using various information such as IP address, duration of stay, and mouse movements. The processed data includes usage data, such as the page accessed, date and time of access, and mouse movements, as well as communication data, such as IP addresses, browser type, and operating system. This processing is directed at website visitors and users of online services. The main purpose of this processing is to prevent the misuse of our contact form and thereby increase security. The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f. GDPR. The data recipients are Google Ireland Ltd, located at Google Building Gordon House, Barrow St, Dublin 4, Ireland, (https://policies.google.com/privacy) and our website hosting provider. While your personal data is processed within the EU, the retention period for the processed data is determined by Google Ireland Limited. Further information can be found in the Google reCAPTCHA privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
