Datenschutz

(1)     Der Schutz und die Sicherheit von persönlichen Daten hat bei uns eine hohe Priorität. Daher halten wir uns strikt an die Regeln des deutschen Bundesdatenschutzgesetzes (BDSG). Nachfolgend werden Sie darüber informiert, welche Art von Daten erfasst und zu welchem Zweck sie erhoben werden.

(2)     Datenübermittlung und Datenprotokollierung

1. When you visit this website, the web server automatically records log files that cannot be associated with any specific person. This data includes, for example, the browser type and version, the operating system used, the URL (the previously visited page), the IP address of the requesting computer, the date and time of the server request, and the client's file request (filename and URL). This data is collected solely for statistical analysis.
2. Data will not be shared with third parties for commercial or non-commercial purposes.

(3) Use of personal data

1. Personal data is only collected or processed if you provide it voluntarily, for example, as part of an inquiry. Personal data is information that can be associated with you. This includes, for example, your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
2. Unless there are compelling reasons related to a business transaction, you may revoke your previously granted consent to the storage of your personal data at any time with immediate effect by notifying us in writing (e.g., by email or fax). Your data will not be disclosed to third parties unless disclosure is required by law.

(4) Access, modification and deletion of your data

1. Upon request, you will receive free information about all personal data we have stored about you. For questions regarding the collection, processing, or use of your personal data, or for information, correction, blocking, or deletion of data, please contact us:

1. Should you no longer agree to the storage of your personal data or should it have become inaccurate, we will, upon your instruction and within the framework of the legal provisions, arrange for the deletion, correction or blocking of your data.

(5) Security of your data

1. Your personal data provided to us is secured by taking all technical and organizational security measures to ensure it is inaccessible to unauthorized third parties. When sending highly sensitive data or information, we recommend using postal mail, as complete data security cannot be guaranteed via email.
2. A customer account is only possible after entering your personal password. You should always keep your login information confidential and close the browser window when you have finished communicating with us, especially if you share the computer or mobile device with others.
3. For the purpose of credit assessment, we reserve the right to use your personal data for the purpose of creditworthiness assessment and to compare it with your address and creditworthiness data stored at various companies.
4. Your data will only be shared internally for sending informational materials and for our own advertising purposes. It will not be shared with any other third parties.
5. If you agree to the use of your personal data for the purpose of sending you our free newsletter and information about promotions and new products, you give your consent during registration. Please note that you can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

(6) Social Plugins

1. Our website uses social plugins from Facebook, Twitter, and Google. Therefore, our website displays a "+1", "Tweet", or "Like" button. These are services offered by the US companies Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) and Facebook Inc. (1601 S California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94394 USA), as well as Twitter, Inc. (1355 Market St, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103).
2. Only when you click the "+1", "f", or "Tweet" button does your browser establish a direct connection to the servers of Facebook, Twitter, or Google. The content of the "+1", "Tweet", "f", or "thumbs up" button is then transmitted directly from Google or Facebook to your browser and integrated into the website. Therefore, we have no control over the amount of data that Google or Facebook collects via this button.
3. On their websites, Facebook, Twitter and Google provide detailed information about the scope, type, purpose and further processing of your data and your rights to protect your privacy.
4. By logging out of your social network accounts (Facebook, Twitter and Google+) beforehand and deleting any cookies you have set, you can prevent Facebook, Twitter and Google from collecting information about you during your visit to our website.

(7) Note on Google Analytics

1. We reserve the right to use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"), on this website. Google Analytics uses "cookies," which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators, and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser; however, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.
2. By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.

(8) Cookies

1. On some of our pages, we use so-called "session cookies" to make it easier for you to use our website. These are small text files that are stored on your hard drive only for the duration of your visit to our website and are deleted again when you close your browser, depending on your browser settings. These cookies do not retrieve any information stored about you on your hard drive and do not harm your computer or your files.
2. Other cookies, so-called "persistent cookies," remain on your computer and allow us to recognize your computer on your next visit. These cookies eliminate the need for you to re-enter your email address for subsequent orders. Our partner companies are not permitted to collect, process, or use personal data via cookies on our website.
3. If you do not wish to take advantage of cookies, you can modify your browser's cookie settings. This option is usually found in the Tools menu under Settings or Internet Options. However, some features of our online shop will then no longer be available. To use our shopping cart, temporary cookies must be enabled.
