GENERAL INFORMATION
In accordance with our legal obligation, we would like to inform you about the collection and use of your personal data.
When you use our website, personal data about you is collected. This may occur when you enter the data yourself—such as your email address. However, our system also automatically collects data from you, such as information about your visit to our website. This occurs regardless of the device or software you use to access our website.
Any data you provide on our website is voluntary; you will not suffer any disadvantages if you choose not to disclose your data. However, without certain data, we are unable to provide services or enter into contracts. We will always notify you when such information is required.
This website collects users’ personal data only in accordance with applicable data protection laws, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The technical terms used in this text are explained in more detail in Article 4 of the GDPR.
Under the GDPR, data processing is permitted in three specific cases:
pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) and Article 7 of the GDPR, if you have consented to our processing of your data; in each case, we will inform you in detail in advance in this Privacy Policy and at the time of obtaining your consent, in accordance with Article 4(11) of the GDPR, regarding the purposes and circumstances under which we process your data;
pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, if the processing of your personal data is necessary for the initiation, conclusion, or performance of a contractual relationship;
pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, if, following a balancing of interests, the processing is necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests; these include, in particular, our interests in analyzing, optimizing, and securing the content on our website—which primarily involves analyzing user behavior, creating profiles for advertising purposes, storing access data, and using third-party providers.
PORTFOLIO DATA
We collect personal data to the extent necessary for establishing, defining the terms of, or modifying a contractual relationship (including one provided free of charge) between us and the user. This may include: customer data (e.g., name, address), contact information (e.g., email address, phone number), and service details (e.g., service ordered, term, fee). When establishing the user relationship, we will request this data from you (e.g., name, address, and email address) and also inform you to what extent the provision of such information is mandatory in order to establish the user relationship.
USAGE DATA
We also collect usage data to enable users to access the services on our website. This may include: usage information (e.g., web pages or sections visited, duration of visit, interest in services), content data (e.g., data, text, images, audio, and videos entered or uploaded by you), and metadata (e.g., your device’s identity, location, IP address).
ADVERTISEMENT
Before sending you promotional materials, we will ask for your explicit consent in accordance with Article 4(11) of the GDPR, unless the promotion concerns similar products that you have already purchased. This applies in particular when you give us your consent to receive our newsletter or fill out a contact form. You may revoke your consent at any time in accordance with the section below titled “Consent.”
IF WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU MAY ALSO OBJECT TO THE USE OF YOUR DATA FOR THIS PURPOSE AT ANY TIME. YOU CAN DO THIS THROUGH ANY OF OUR CONTACT METHODS, IN PARTICULAR BY SENDING AN INFORMAL EMAIL TO THE EMAIL ADDRESS LISTED IN THE LEGAL NOTICE. WE WILL THEN NO LONGER USE YOUR DATA FOR DIRECT MARKETING.
INITIAL CONTACT VIA ELECTRONIC INQUIRY
When you contact us electronically (e.g., via email, phone, messenger, etc.), we store and process the data you have provided to us (e.g., name, contact information, content of the inquiry). The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in effective customer communication pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and, insofar as the inquiry relates to the conclusion or performance of a contract, also Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
We will only disclose this data to third parties to the extent that it is necessary (pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) for the performance of the contract, corresponds to the overriding interest in effective service (pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), or if your consent (pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or another legal authorization or obligation exists.
You may request information from us at any time, free of charge, regarding the purpose of the processing, the origin, and, if applicable, the recipients of your personal data. Furthermore, you may assert the right to rectification, erasure, and restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may object to the (further) processing of your data at any time and have a right to data portability as well as a right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.
As a general rule, your data will only be stored for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purpose of the respective data processing. Further storage may be considered, in particular, if it is still necessary for legal proceedings or to protect legitimate interests, or if there is a legal obligation to retain the data (e.g., tax retention periods, statute of limitations).
CONSENT
Whenever we ask for your consent to process your data, we will inform you in clear language and in an easily accessible manner about the specific purposes for which you are giving your consent. Any consent we request is voluntary; any benefit you wish to obtain by giving your consent can also be provided without it—just ask us. For any consent you provide, you have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time. This can be done by sending an informal notification, e.g., via our contact form, an email to the address listed in the legal notice, or an unsubscribe link (if provided by us). Your withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to that point.
RETENTION PERIOD
As a general rule, your data will only be stored for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purpose of the respective data processing. Further storage may be considered, in particular, if it is still necessary for us to pursue legal claims or to protect our other legitimate interests. For your master data, which was necessary to fulfill a contractual relationship (including one provided free of charge), this means that we store it until the contractual relationship has been fully fulfilled or terminated, plus the statute of limitations period (which is generally 2 or 3 years), along with a reasonable margin for any interruption of the statute of limitations.
For your usage data collected during your use of the website, this means that we will store it only for as long as is necessary for the proper functioning of our website and as our legitimate interest requires. We will primarily store statistical data in pseudonymized form.
In addition, we will continue to store your data to the extent that we are legally required to do so. This applies in particular to tax retention periods, which generally amount to 6 or even 10 years.
COOKIES

Our website uses cookies in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in providing a technically sound online service and in its economically efficient design and optimization, so that our service can be used more effectively, efficiently, and securely.

USER RIGHTS
You may request information from us at any time, free of charge, regarding the personal data we have stored about you. To prevent misuse, you will be required to verify your identity.
DELETION, CORRECTION, RESTRICTION
You may request that we correct (including by supplementing) inaccurate data at any time, as well as restrict the processing of your data or have it deleted. This applies in particular if the purpose of processing no longer applies, if the required consent has been revoked and no other legal basis exists, or if our data processing is unlawful. We will then correct, block, or even delete your personal data without delay, in accordance with the law.
OBJECTION
YOU MAY OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO ANY PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA THAT WE BASE ON A BALANCING OF INTERESTS UNDER ART. 6(1)(f) 1(f) of the GDPR, you may object at any time if there are grounds for doing so arising from your particular personal situation. WE WILL THEN NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR DATA, UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS ON OUR PART.
DATA TRANSMISSION
You may request that we provide you with a copy of the personal data we have stored about you in a machine-readable format.
COMPLAINT
If you believe that our data processing has infringed upon your rights, you may file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.
CHANGES TO THE PRIVACY POLICY
If it becomes necessary to amend the Privacy Policy for legal or practical reasons, we will update this page accordingly. No changes will be made to the consents provided by the user.
DATA ENTRY
ENCRYPTION
When you enter data on our website—whether on a contact form, during registration, when logging in, or for payment purposes—the webpage where you enter the data is encrypted. This prevents third parties from seeing the data you enter. You can recognize the encryption by the padlock icon in your browser and by the fact that the address bar begins with “https” instead of just “http.”
CONTACT FORM
GENERAL CONTACT FORM
If you fill out a contact form or send us an email or other electronic message, your information will be stored for the purpose of processing your inquiry, any follow-up questions, or related inquiries, and will be used solely in connection with that inquiry.
Your data is transmitted in encrypted form, which means that third parties cannot view your data during transmission, even if they have access to the network (e.g., on unsecured public Wi-Fi networks).
The basis for this storage is our legitimate interest in communicating with interested users pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, and, in the case of contract inquiries, also the storage of contract data pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.
Your data will remain stored for as long as is necessary to process your request, particularly if storage is still required for the performance or fulfillment of a contract, for us to pursue legal claims, or to protect our other legitimate interests, or if we are legally required to retain your data (e.g., in accordance with tax retention periods).
REGISTRATIONS
When you register on our website, we collect mandatory and, where applicable, optional data as specified in our registration form for the purposes listed below. Your data is entered in encrypted form, which prevents third parties from reading your data during the entry process. The basis for this storage is our legitimate interest in communicating with interested users pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, and in the case of contracts—including those provided free of charge—the storage of contract data pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. Your data will remain stored for as long as the registration is active, in particular as long as storage is still necessary for the fulfillment or processing of the contract, for legal action by us, or for our other legitimate interests, or as long as we are legally required to retain your data (e.g., within the framework of tax retention periods).
REGISTRATION FOR THE ONLINE STORE
When you register in our store, we will collect the information requested on our registration form so that we can send you future orders. We will use your information to make it easier for you to place future orders and to provide you with the information necessary for using our services (technical instructions).
When you signed up, we informed you that you can opt out of receiving future promotional emails at any time, free of charge, by clicking the unsubscribe link in each email or by sending an informal email to the address listed in our legal notice. We reserve the right to send you promotional emails for similar products unless you opt out.
BLOG / COMMENTS SECTION
COMMENTS
When you comment on posts on our site, we store your IP address to ensure that only comments that comply with the law are published. However, once we have reviewed and approved the comment, your IP address will be deleted. We also store your comment and any information you provide when submitting it (e.g., username or email address).
You can also subscribe to future comments. In that case, you’ll receive a confirmation email asking you to verify that you entered the email address yourself. The email will include instructions on how to unsubscribe from comment notifications at any time.
The legal basis for this storage is your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, which you provide by filling out the comment field. You may withdraw this consent at any time by sending us an informal notice (e.g., via the contact form or email). This withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of any data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal.
Your data will remain stored for as long as the comment is saved, as long as it is still necessary for us to pursue legal claims or to protect our other legitimate interests, or as long as we are legally required to retain your data.
SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS
GENERAL INFORMATION
We provide links to our social media profiles. Unlike social media plugins, these links do not automatically notify the social media platform of your visit the moment you access our site. However, as with any link, your data will be processed by the social media platform at the latest when you click on the link. The social media platform will typically store cookies on your device or even track your usage behavior and associate it with your account, especially if you are logged in. The social media platform can use your data to analyze your user behavior and use it for (targeted) advertising. This may result in ads being displayed to you both within and outside the social media platform. Please decide for yourself whether you are willing to accept this and only use a social media platform if you have sufficiently informed yourself about the data processing there and agree to it (this applies in particular if you have not yet used it yourself)—we have included links to the privacy policies of the respective social media platforms.
GENERAL INFORMATION
You may request information from us at any time, free of charge, regarding the personal data we have stored about you. To prevent misuse, you will be required to verify your identity.
Our website includes links to our page on the social network Facebook, operated by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA. This is simply a standard link; when you visit our website, Facebook does not learn that you have visited our site. However, if you click on the link, you will be redirected to Facebook, and Facebook will then know that you have visited our page.
This means that your data will be transferred to the United States; however, Facebook is registered with the Privacy Shield and is required to comply with EU data protection regulations.
We have no knowledge of, nor any control over, the collection and use of your data by Facebook that may occur after you click the link. For more information, please refer to Facebook’s Privacy Policy at http://de-de.facebook.com/policy.php.

It’s just a regular link, so when you visit our site, Instagram won’t know you’ve been there. However, if you click the link, you’ll be redirected to Instagram, which means Instagram—or Facebook—will know that you’ve visited our site.
This means your data will be transferred to the United States, but Facebook is registered with the Privacy Shield and is required to comply with EU data protection regulations.
We are not aware of, nor do we have any control over, the collection and use of your data by Instagram/Facebook that may occur after you click the link. For more information, please refer to Instagram’s Privacy Policy at https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388.
