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

7. Cookies

We use cookies as part of our offer. Cookies are small text files that your browser automatically creates and stores on your end device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, PC, etc.) when you visit our site.

In a cookie, information is stored that arises in each case in connection with the specific end device used. This does not mean, however, that we gain direct knowledge of your identity. Cookies are used to enable the use of our offer and to make our offer more user-friendly, effective and secure.

Most browsers accept cookies automatically. If you do not wish to do so, however, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your end device or a message always appears before a new cookie is created. You can also object to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes for a variety of services, for example, at http://www.youronlinechoices.com/ or via the deactivation page of the network advertising initiative http://optout.networkadvertising.org.

WEB ANALYSIS BY GOOGLE ANALYTICS (ANALYSIS COOKIES)

SCOPE OF THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", text files that are stored on your computer and that enable the analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie regarding your use of our websites (including your IP address) is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google will use this information to assess your use of the website, to compile reports on the website activities for the website operators and to provide further services connected to the use of the website and the use of the internet. Google may potentially also transfer this information to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. Under no circumstances will Google link your IP address to other data.

You can prevent the storage of the cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software; furthermore, you can prevent the recording of the data generated by the cookie as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en. However, we must point out that in this case, you may not be able to use all the functions of our websites to their full extent.

IP anonymisation: We use the function "activation of the IP anonymisation" on our websites. This means that your IP address is first shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before it is transmitted to the USA and thus anonymised. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

By consenting to the use of analysis cookies, at the same time you agree pursuant to Art. 49 Para. 1 Item a GDPR that your data may be processed in the USA. The ECJ does not confirm an appropriate data protection level for the USA that matches the EU standards (ECJ, C-311/18, Schrems II), especially since your data may be processed by the US authorities for monitoring purposes without any effective legal protection being available against such measures.

More information on how Google Analytics handles user data is available in Google’s data privacy statement: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en

To ensure that the customer forum is not overrun with spam bots, captcha questions are used. Captcha questions are an internal service of our forum software and are currently asked during registration as well as during the functions "Forgot password" and "Send e-mail to user". The search function is currently in use without Captcha query, because it can only be reached when a user is already logged in.

VI. FriendlyCaptcha

This website uses Friendlycaptcha. Friendlycaptcha is used to ensure that the forms provided are used by a natural person and not abusively by machine or automated processes.

Friendlycaptcha collects your IP address and sends a cryptogaphic task to the end device with which you use our offer. This cryptogaphic task is solved by your terminal without any input from you. If the task is solved in the correct way, Friendlycaptcha confirms to the server running our websites that a human and not a machine is visiting our websites.

When a form is accessed on our websites that uses Friendlycaptcha, the following data is processed and stored by Friendlycapthca:

• IP address of the requesting computer in anonymized form;
• browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your terminal device;
• the website from which Friendlycaptcha is accessed;
• the cryptographic task that contains information about our use of it;
• the software version of Friendlycapthca we use;
• Date and time of access;
• Website from which the access is made (referer URL);

Friendlycaptcha stores an anonymized counter for each IP address in order to control the complexity of the cryptographic tasks and to prevent legitimate users from being blocked. This data is collected separately from the rest of the data and cannot be attributed to any specific internet service. For this purpose, the IP addresses are anonymized with a hash value so that users can no longer be identified.

Friendlycaptcha is offered by Friendly Captcha GmbH, Am Anger 3-5, 82237 Woerthsee, which operates on our behalf. Personal data is processed by this service provider on our behalf. We use this service in our legitimate interest in the security of our websites and the detection of bot activities according to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR.

VII. Communication and advertising

1. Contact form ("Make a request") / Other contacting

If you use the contact form, you must provide your name and email address and the category of your request so that we can contact you personally. If you use other means of communication to make a request to us, we also need your name and contact information where we can reach you (for example, email address, address, phone number or fax number). If you do not provide this information, we will not be able to process your request or contact you. In addition, you can voluntarily provide your telephone number and other data.

When you contact us, we process your personal data to handle your request on the basis of Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. b GDPR, provided that your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures with you personally. In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR and/or in our legitimate interest in effectively processing the requests addressed to us pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR.

2. Postal advertising

If you are a customer of ours and we have received your data in connection with the sale of a product or the use of a service, we may use your data (first and last name, address and, if you work for a company, your company affiliation) for direct mail advertising for goods or services offered by us or by third parties. In addition to this data, we may also store other data that we have lawfully collected about you for the aforementioned advertising purposes. This may be, for example, your order history or the type of goods you have purchased from us.

The purpose of this data processing is to target you as precisely as possible with advertising that corresponds to your interests and to avoid advertising that does not appeal to you. The legal basis of the processing is our legitimate interest in direct marketing according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Your data will be processed and stored for this purpose until you object to further use for postal advertising.

Postal advertising requires a certain lead time before dispatch in order to print the items and make them ready for dispatch. If you object to postal advertising, it may exceptionally happen that you still receive advertising by mail from us. This is the case if the production process for the corresponding mailing had already started when you objected. This does not mean that we will not take your objection into account.

3. Newsletter

If you would like to receive our newsletter, we need your e-mail address. You can enter your name voluntarily. The data processing for the purpose of sending the newsletter is carried out according to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR on the basis of your voluntarily given consent by means of the so-called double opt-in procedure.

Unsubscribing is possible at any time, for example via a link at the end of each newsletter. Alternatively, you can also send your revocation/unsubscribe request at any time to the e-mail address mentioned under point II.

We send our newsletters with a so-called tracking pixel. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in the HTML format of the sent newsletter to enable an analysis of reader behavior. In this context, we store whether and at what time a newsletter was opened by you and which of the links contained in the newsletter were called up by you. We use this data to create statistical evaluations of the success or failure of a marketing campaign in order to optimize newsletter distribution and to better tailor the content of future newsletters to your interests.
