Privacy Policy

B. Processing of personal data; Purpose; Erasure

Personal data describes all data that refers to an identified or identifiable person (in the following referred to as “data subject”). Identifiable refers to a person, which can be identified directly or indirectly, especially through assignment of an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, online identification or to one or more special features, which express the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of that person.

Processing of data describes all, with or without assistance, automated procedures or any kind of process in regards to personal data such as the collection, the acquisition, the organization, the arranging, the storage, the adjusting or changing, the selecting, the scanning, the use, the disclosure through transmission, processing or any other form of provision, the reconciliation or the conjunction, the limitation, the erasure or the annihilation.

The use of the website is generally anonymous, which means that no personal data of yours will be processed by us. Exceptions are cases in which the browser you use transfers possible person data on its own accord. If not stated otherwise in the following, in regards to the processing of your personal data, we rely on the legal basis of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 b) data privacy basic regulation (in the following referred to as DP-BR), because the processing of data for the provision of functions that you asked for on this website is necessary.

When accessing our website, we collect the following, if necessary anonymous data, store and use them short-termed:

• the accessed website
• the time when the website was accessed
• URL of the website, which the user of website has accessed immediately before accessing our website
• amount of transferred data measured in byte
• the user's browser and its version
• the user's system software
• the user's IP-address

We do not at all use the data in order to identify or draw conclusions about you. That data will be stored in our server log-files for a limited amount of time. The data only serves to enable the correct display of our website, to perform an anonymous static evaluation, to improve our website, to expose or understand possible technical difficulties of our website and to induce a derivation of personal data in the case of third party accesses or an attempt of a third party access. Our warrant is based on Article 6 Paragraph 1 f) of the DP-BR. After the purpose, because of which the data was stored, has been achieved, the data will be routinely deleted or suspended, if legal regulations or legitimate interests oppose the erasure.

We will only process the person data, which you transferred online, if it is only necessary for the justification, procedure, closure or billing of a contractual relationship between us and you, or in order to fulfill any of your other requests. If this is the case, the following personal data will be processed by us:

• first and last name
• address, Email address, fax and telephone number
• reason for contacting
• contract data, if any
• documents transferred by you, if any
• verbally given information by you, if any

We do not share your personal data with third parties. Exceptions are third parties, which help us with the processing of the contract, e.g. the shipping company hired to make the delivery and the financial institute hired to handle the payment matters such as PayPal. Another exception is the necessary transmission of data to accountants and tax offices. However, the data transfer to those third parties will be kept to a minimum of necessary data.

The aforementioned data will be deleted after fulfilling the purpose for which they have been collected, unless, based on Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 a), we are obliged to store the data longer because of an obligation to preserve and document records according or tax and commercial laws; or because you have agreed to a longer-term storage of data based on Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 a) of the DP-BR; or because we require the data for our own legitimate interests or those of a third party and your fundamental rights do not outweigh our interests.
