3. Purpose of processing and legal basis

We process personal data in accordance with the provisions of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) for the following purposes and on the basis of the following legal bases.

If you have given us your consent to process personal data for specific purposes, in particular to make contact (e.g. via our contact form or by e-mail to process and process the request, dispatch of newsletters, advertising by telephone, e-mail, SMS etc.), the legality of this processing is given on the basis of your consent. A given consent can be revoked at any time. Please note that the revocation only applies to the future. Processing that took place before the revocation is not affected. The revocation can be sent to the above contact details (consent, Art. 6 Para. 1a GDPR).

When you visit our website for the first time, you will be asked whether you also want to accept non-essential cookies. If you agree to the use of non-essential cookies, this enables us to analyze the use of our website. We may also conduct various marketing activities based on your interactions with the website, other marketing channels and other third parties such as social networks. To find out more about the cookies we use, including how to manage and delete cookies, see the Cookies section below. (Consent, Art. 6 Para. 1a GDPR) When you contact us (via contact form or e-mail or telephone), your details will be processed on the basis of the implementation of pre-contractual measures, Art. 6 Para. 1b GDPR, in addition to any consent you may have given to process the contact request and its processing. (Implementation of pre-contractual measures at the request of the person, Art. 6 Para. 1b GDPR).

We process your access data (see data listed under point 2 above) to protect our legitimate interests or those of third parties. In particular, we pursue the following legitimate interests:
– Guaranteeing IT security, in particular the security of the website; We also save the IP address in the event that someone leaves illegal content via the comment function (insults, prohibited propaganda, etc.) and we need to be able to determine the identity of the author for our own legal protection;
– Advertising or market and opinion research, insofar as you have not objected to the use of your data;
– Assertion of legal claims and defense in legal disputes; (As part of the balancing of interests to protect legitimate interests, Art. 6 Para. 1f GDPR).

4. Data processing

Within our company, those departments that need your data to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations will have access to it.

Processors employed by us (Art. 28 GDPR) can also receive data for the above-mentioned purposes. These are companies in the categories of IT services, logistics, printing services, and sales and marketing. If we use processors to provide our services, we take appropriate legal precautions, as well as appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure the protection of personal data in accordance with the relevant statutory provisions.

A transfer of data to third parties who are not processors - only takes place within the framework of the legal requirements. We only pass on user data to third parties if this is based, for example, on Article 6(1)(b). GDPR is required for contractual purposes or is necessary on the basis of legitimate interests in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. In the case of purely informational use of the website, we generally do not pass on any data to third parties.

5. Duration of storage

For security reasons (e.g. to clarify misuse or fraud), log file information is stored for a maximum of 4 weeks and then deleted (see point 2 above). Data whose further storage is required for evidence purposes are excluded from deletion until the respective incident has been finally clarified.

If necessary, we process and store your personal data at least for the duration of our business relationship, which also includes, for example, the initiation and processing of a contract via the contact form or by e-mail.

In addition, we are subject to various storage and documentation obligations, which result from the German Commercial Code (HGB) and the Fiscal Code (AO), among other things. The storage and documentation periods specified there are two to ten years.

The storage period is also assessed according to the statutory limitation periods, which, for example, according to §§ 195 et seq. of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch, BGB), are usually 3 years, but in certain cases can also be up to thirty years, with the regular limitation period being three years.

In addition, there are regulatory retention requirements of up to 15 years (GLP).

6. Transfer to third countries

The data provided will be processed within the European Union, Switzerland, Canada, UK and India to fulfill the business purpose. For countries without an adequacy decision by the Commission under Article 45 GDPR, as is the case with Switzerland, Canada and India, we generally agree EU standard data protection clauses with the recipients of your data or obtain your consent for the data transfer.

Note: The protection of personal data in the named third countries does not correspond to the level of data protection required by the EU. In particular, there are no enforceable rights that secure the protection of your data against access by government agencies. There is therefore a risk that these government agencies may be able to access the personal data without the data transmitter or recipient being able to effectively prevent this.

7. Rights of data subjects

The data subjects have the following rights:
- Right to information (Article 15 GDPR),
- Right to rectification (Article 16 GDPR),
- Deletion (Article 17 GDPR),
- Restriction of processing (Article 18 GDPR),
- Right to data transfer (Article 20 GDPR),

- Right to lodge a complaint (Article 77 GDPR). You can find the supervisory authority responsible for you under

You have the right, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data relating to you, which is based on Article 6 Paragraph 1 letter e GDPR (data processing in the public interest) and Article 6 Paragraph 1 letter f of the General Data Protection Regulation (data processing on the basis of a balance of interests); this also applies to profiling based on this provision within the meaning of Article 4 No. 4 GDPR. If you lodge an objection, we will no longer process your personal data unless there are compelling legitimate (regulatory or official) reasons for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. In individual cases we process your personal data in order to carry out direct advertising. You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising.

The objection can be made informally and there are no costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic tariffs.

Some of these cookies are essential for our website to function, while other cookies help us to improve our website by providing insights into how you are using the website.

By default, we only use necessary cookies. Necessary cookies enable the core functionalities of our website. The website cannot be displayed properly without these cookies or individual areas may not function properly. Required cookies can only be prevented by making the appropriate settings in your browser.

We only use cookies that are not necessary for the website to function (“non-necessary cookies”) if you have given your consent via our cookie banner. You can return to our data protection information at any time and revoke your consent or make changes.

You can make settings for cookies by clicking on the gear wheel at the bottom of the screen.

If you do not want cookies to be stored on your computer, you can either waive your consent in the context of our cookie banner when you visit our site or - if you have already given your consent, make changes to the cookie settings or use the corresponding option in the system settings of your browser. Saved cookies can be deleted in the system settings of the browser.

10.2 Google AdWords

We use the web analytics service Google Analytics from Google Ireland Limited (registration number: 368047), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google") based on your consent.

The web analysis service Google Analytics uses cookies. The information generated by the cookies about the use of our website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. There are corresponding risks associated with the processing of your data in the USA. By giving your consent via our cookie banner, you consent to the processing of your data in the USA, despite potential access by US authorities, Art. 49 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO.

The processing of the data is a joint responsibility between Google and us pursuant to Art 26 GDPR. It is agreed with Google that the primary responsibility pursuant to the GDPR for the processing of personal data lies with Google and that all obligations under the GDPR with regard to the processing of personal data will be fulfilled by Google (in particular the information obligations pursuant to Article 12 et seq. GDPR, ensuring data subject rights pursuant to Article 15 et seq. DSGVO, notification of data breaches pursuant to Articles 33, 34 DSGVO). Google processes the data to evaluate the use of our website by website visitors, to create reports about the activities within our website and to provide other services related to the use of the website. In doing so, pseudonymous usage profiles of the website visitors are created from the processed data.

We use Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled. This means that the IP address of the user is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

The IP address transmitted by the user's browser is not merged with other data from Google. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by setting their browser software accordingly; users can also prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and the transmission to Google, 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=de.

Instead of using our cookie banner, you can also prevent cookies from being set by means of an appropriate setting in your internet browser. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on your computer. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Ads can be deleted at any time via the browser. Furthermore, it is possible to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, you must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from any of the Internet browsers you use (on any device) and make the desired settings there.

Further information and the applicable Google privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

If you wish to object to interest-based advertising by Google, you can use the opt-out options provided by Google: http://www.google.com/ads/preferences.

Further information and the applicable Google privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

11. Social Media Presence

You will find us with presences within social networks and platforms, so that we can also communicate with you there and inform you about our services. We would like to point out that your data may be processed outside the European Union and that the data is usually processed for market research and advertising purposes. Usage profiles can be created from the usage behavior and resulting interests of the users. These usage profiles can in turn be used, for example, to place advertisements within and outside the platforms that presumably correspond to the interests of the users. For this purpose, cookies may be stored on the users' computers, in which the users' usage behavior and interests are stored. Other data may also be stored in these usage profiles, especially if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in to them.
