SSL or TLS encryption
This page uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transfer of confidential content, for example orders or enquiries which you send to us as the website operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection because the browser's address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and because you see the lock symbol in your browser line.
When the SSL or TLS encryption is activated the data you transfer to us cannot be viewed by third parties.
Encrypted payments on this website
If you enter into a contract which requires you to send us your payment information (e.g. account number for direct debits), we will require this data to process your payment.
Payment transactions using common means of payment (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are only made via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognize an encrypted connection because the browser's address line changes from “http://" to “https://" and because you see the lock symbol in your browser line.
With encrypted communication the payment data you transfer to us cannot be read by third parties.

Cookies cannot access, read or modify any other data on your computer.
We use cookies and other tracking technologies (e. g. beacons, pixels) on this website, hereinafter collectively referred to as "cookies".

When you visit our website, a cookie notice will appear, informing you of the use of cookies on our website as described in this privacy statement and allowing you to configure and consent to the use of certain cookies. Cookies for analysis and statistics as well as cookies for advertising purposes are only set if you agree to this in the cookie settings, which you can do individually for each purpose and each provider.
With your consent, you agree to the use of the respective cookies and the associated processing of data. You may revoke this consent at any time by either changing the cookie settings on our website or your browser settings.

As far as no special deletion periods are mentioned in this privacy statement or in the cookie settings, the following generally applies with regard to the storage period: you have control over whether cookies are set, and which cookies, by means of the appropriate browser settings. Most browsers are set by default to allow cookies to be set without restriction. You can change and restrict this or block the placing of cookies.

If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited. We also use cookies from US providers on this website, in particular Google LLC and YouTube LLC. The US providers are based in the USA and process your data there. The level of data protection in the USA is not the same as in the EU. In particular, you have only very limited data subject rights. There is a risk that US authorities may access your data for control and monitoring purposes. If you accept the setting of cookies by US providers, you consent to the transfer of the data processed by the cookie to the USA as described in the privacy policy and cookie settings.

Server log files
The website provider automatically collects and stores information that your browser transmits to us automatically in server log files. This is:
- browser type and browser version
- operating system used
- referrer URL
- host name of the accessing computer
- time of the server enquiry
- IP address
This data is not collated with other data sources.
This data is recorded on the basis of Art 6 (1) f of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in error-free presentation and optimization of their website – and the server log files need to be recorded for this purpose.
This data will be stored for a period of three months. It will only be stored for a longer period insofar as this is necessary to investigate attacks on the website that have been detected.
Registration on this website
You can register on our website in order to access additional functions. The input data will only be used for the purpose of using the relevant site or service for which you have registered. The mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise, we will reject your registration.
We will use the email address specified in the registration process to inform you about important changes such as those within the scope of our website or technical changes.
We will process the data provided during registration based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) a of the GDPR. You may revoke your consent at any time. An informal communication to us by e-mail is sufficient for this purpose. The legality of data processing that has already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.
We will continue to store the data collected during registration for as long as you remain registered on our website and
also for a long as statutory duties of preservation exist.
Ordering in the online shop
You may make purchases in our online shop. We process the data here that you enter in the ordering process and the data relating to the order and the payment. The mandatory information requested when the order is entered must be provided in full; otherwise we will have to reject your order.
The purpose of processing is to deal with your order and to fulfil the contract. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) b of the GDPR which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or for pre-contractual measures.
We transfer data to third parties if this is necessary in the context of contract processing, for example to companies entrusted to deliver the goods or the banks engaged to process payments. Your data will not be transferred for any other purpose unless you have given your express permission to do so or we are required to do so by law. There will be no other disclosure of your data to third parties, for example for advertising purposes, without express consent.
We store the data until the contract is fulfilled and also for as long as guarantee, compensation and expiry periods continue to run for us or statutory obligations require it.
If you cancel the order after you intended to pay, we will store the data you entered and the amount of the order. The purpose of processing in this case is to analyze the use and errors, and the legal basis arises from our justified interest in achieving these purposes. The data will be erased two months after the order is cancelled.
