Cookies

When you visit our website, small data records containing information may be stored in the browser of your end device. These data records are called cookies.

They are used, for example, to enable certain functions such as saving your shopping cart, language settings or securing the website visit. If we use cookies, they are usually technically necessary cookies that do not require consent in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO) and the Telecommunications Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG). If we use cookies that cannot be classified as necessary, we will ask for your consent beforehand.

Our legal basis for setting technically necessary cookies is based on our legitimate interest (pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation) to improve the functionality of our website.

You can adjust your cookie settings at any time via the corresponding link in the footer of our pages.

Session cookies are deleted when you close your internet browser.

Contact requests / contact options

If you contact us (e.g. via contact form, telephone or e-mail), the data you provide will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b) DSGVO, if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) a) DSGVO) by implied conduct with the contact.

The data you provide to us will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after we have completed processing your inquiry). Mandatory legal provisions - in particular legal retention periods - remain unaffected.

Font Awesome

To ensure a consistent display of fonts and icons on our website, we use dynamically embedded web fonts and icons provided by Fonticons, Inc, 307 S Main St Ste 202 Bentonville, AR, 72712-9214 United States. When you call up a page in which corresponding fonts or icons have been integrated, the required web fonts and icons are loaded into your browser cache so that texts, fonts and icons can be displayed correctly.

For this purpose, your browser must establish a connection to the servers of Fonticons, Inc., whereby Fonticons, Inc. recognizes that our website has been accessed via your IP address. Since this is a company based in the USA, technically a third-country transfer of this personal data takes place, for which there is no adequacy decision by the EU Commission. This entails the risk that you may not be able to exercise your data subject rights guaranteed in the GDPR, or not fully, and that US laws may require the provider to disclose the processed data to authorities without your knowledge.

We use Font Awesome to make our online offers appealing and consistent. This constitutes a legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO.

If your browser does not support Font Awesome, a default font from your computer will be used. For more information about Font Awesome, please visit https://fontawesome.com/help and the Fonticons, Inc. privacy policy at https://fontawesome.com/privacy.

For the presentation and communication of product and marketing information (e.g. product images and descriptions, documents, etc.) we use OXOMI, a service of scireum GmbH, Eisenbahnstr. 24, 73630 Remshalden, on our website. This is a cloud-based service that loads content from scireum GmbH servers. For this purpose, connections are established by your browser to scireum GmbH servers when you call up pages in which the tool is integrated. The servers are located in Germany. For technical reasons, your IP address and possibly browser data such as your user agent are transmitted. The data is processed by OXOMI solely for the purpose of providing the content and maintaining security and functionality. If necessary, OXOMI also stores technically necessary cookies in your browser. You can prevent the use of OXOMI and associated data processing of the service by disabling the execution of JavaScript in your browser, which can be done, for example, by a script blocker. This may result in you no longer being able to fully use all functions of our website.

We use OXOMI based on our legitimate interests to enable a platform-independent, always up-to-date and appealing provision of our content and product information, which does not require the installation of a PDF viewer in your browser. Accordingly, the legal basis for the use is Article 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO.

The specific storage period of the processed data is determined by scireum GmbH and cannot be influenced by us. For more information, please see the privacy policy for OXOMI at

Paypal

We offer the option of processing the payment process in our online store via the payment service provider PayPal (PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg). This is in line with our legitimate interest in offering an efficient and secure payment method (Art. 6(1)(f) DSGVO), which is widely used. In this context, we share the following data with PayPal to the extent necessary for the performance of the contract (Art. 6 para. 1 lit b. DSGVO).

The processing of the data provided under this section is not required by law or contract. Without the transmission of your personal data, we can not carry out a payment via PayPal. There is no obligation to use PayPal as a payment method, you also have the option to pay in advance, for example.

PayPal carries out a credit check for various of its services (e.g. payment by direct debit) in order to check your ability to pay. This corresponds to the legitimate interest of PayPal (according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) and serves the execution of the contract (according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO). For this purpose, your data (name, address and date of birth, bank account details) will be passed on to credit agencies. We have no influence on this process and only receive the result of whether the payment has been made or rejected or a check is pending.

You can find more information on objection and removal options to PayPal at: https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full

Your data will be stored until the payment processing is completed. This includes the period required for processing refunds, claims management and fraud prevention.

Credit check and scoring

If you order goods from us and decide to pay by invoice, we reserve the right to obtain credit information in order to assess the risk of default. For this purpose, we transmit necessary data such as your name and address to a credit agency, which makes an assessment of solvency on the basis of mathematical-statistical methods. We use this information to decide whether we can offer you payment by invoice.

The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in securing our receivables according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO.

Trusted Shops Trustbadge

We have integrated Trusted Shops widgets in our online store to display Trusted Shops services such as seals of approval and collected ratings. This is done to protect our legitimate interests in optimal marketing by enabling safe shopping according to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO and to increase trust in our online store. Trusted Shops GmbH, located at Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne, Germany, and we are jointly responsible for data protection in accordance with Art. 26 DSGVO and inform you about the essential contents of the contract in accordance with Art. 26 (2) DSGVO.

Further information on the data protection of Trusted Shops GmbH can be found in their privacy policy, which you can access via the following link: https://www.trustedshops.de/impressum-datenschutz/#datenschutz.

When you click on the trust badge, a server log file is automatically stored on the web server, which also contains your IP address, the time of the retrieval, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the retrieval. After collection, your IP address is immediately anonymized, which prevents an assignment to your person. The anonymized data is collected for the analysis of errors and for statistical evaluations.

After completing the order, your e-mail address is hashed and transmitted to Trusted Shops GmbH. This serves to check whether you are already registered for services with Trusted Shops GmbH and is therefore necessary for the fulfillment of our and Trusted Shops' overriding legitimate interests in the provision of the buyer protection linked to the specific order in each case and the transactional evaluation services in accordance with Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. f DSGVO. If you are not yet registered for the services, you will subsequently be given the option to do so for the first time.

If you decide not to do so, the provider will delete the data collected up to that point.

Trusted Shops uses its own service providers for hosting, monitoring and logging functions to ensure trouble-free operation. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. This may include data processing in third countries (USA and Israel). For Israel, an adequacy decision of the EU Commission exists. A comparable level of data protection for possible processing in the USA is achieved through concluded standard contractual clauses.

If you visit our company page while logged into your LinkedIn user account, we can track the visit to our page by your user account. If you do not wish this, you can log out of your user account before you visit our company page.

If you use interactive LinkedIn functions as a logged-in user, these activities are linked to your user account and are processed by LinkedIn. We have neither influence on the functionality nor on the visibility of your activities.

If you contact us via LinkedIn (e.g. by direct message), we process the information received from you for the purpose of responding to your inquiry on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. Depending on the inquiry, Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO may also serve us as a legal basis if, for example, you are interested in a position in our company and this thus involves pre-contractual measures.

As soon as we have answered your inquiry and there are no legal storage obligations, we delete your data.
