B.Data processing
We process data within the scope of operating our website. The processing of the data also includes disclosure by way of transfer.
For data transfers to the United States, the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision, the EU-US Privacy Shield. In this decision, the Commission confirmed that the safeguards for the transfer of data to the United States based on the EU-US Privacy Shield are in accordance with the data protection standards in the EU. To the extent that we transfer data to the United States, we have labeled our service providers' participation in the EU-US Privacy Shield.
The specific data concerned, the purposes of processing, the legal bases, recipients, and transfers to third countries are set out in the listing below.
a)Logfile
We log your visit to our website. The following data are processed in this process: name of the website accessed in each case, date and time of access, the volume of data transferred, browser type and version, the operating system you use, the referrer URL (the website you visited beforehand), your IP address and the provider making the request. This is necessary in order to ensure the security of the website. We process the data accordingly on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The logfile is erased after seven days unless it is necessary in order to clarify or demonstrate specific legal violations that have come to light during the storage period.

When you contact us, your data (name, contact information and further details, if you provide them) and your message are processed exclusively for the purpose of processing and handling your inquiry. We process these data on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR or Article 6(1)(f) GDPR to handle your inquiry.
d)Newsletter
To be able to transmit information about our company and what we offer to you regularly, we offer a newsletter. When you sign up to receive the newsletter, we process the information you enter (e-mail address and other voluntarily provided information).
The transmission of the newsletter by way of registration takes place based on your consent pursuant to Article 6 (1)(a) GDPR.
Registration for the newsletter takes place via a "double opt-in" procedure. To prevent abuse, we will send you an e-mail asking you to confirm your registration after you register. Your registration will be logged so that we can document the registration process in accordance with the legal requirements. This concerns the storage of the time of registration and confirmation and your IP address. To send the newsletter, we use the services of service providers to which we transfer the data mentioned above.
The data are also transferred during this process to the servers of service providers in Canada. The European Commission has issued an adequacy decision finding that Canada safeguards an adequate level of data protection.
e)Customer account
If you open a customer account, you consent to the storage of your master data (name, address, e-mail address, bank account information) and use data (username, password) and other information provided voluntarily. This allows us to identify you as a customer and gives you the ability to manage your orders. Your data are processed on the basis of your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

g)Website analysis and marketing
We use "cookies" in order to enable the use of certain functions. These are short data packets that are stored on your device and exchanged with other providers. Some of the cookies we use are deleted immediately after you close your browser ("session cookies"). Other cookies remain on your device and make it possible to recognize your browser the next time you visit ("persistent cookies").
You can erase all cookies stored on your device and adjust the settings of all of the common browsers in such a way that storage of cookies is prevented.
In this case, you may need to adjust some settings again each time you visit this website, and some functions may be adversely affected.
We use cookies in connection with the following functions:
aa) Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a service of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google uses certain cookies for this. The information on your use of the website that is generated by the cookie (including your IP address) is transferred to a Google server in the United States and stored there. We use the stored information to analyze your use of the website, compile reports on website activity for the website operators, and provide further services associated with website use. We process the data received in this way based on our overriding interest in the optimum marketing of our online offerings pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Under no circumstances will Google associate your IP address with other Google data.
Please note that this website uses Google Analytics with the "anonymizeIp()" addition. This truncates IP addresses before they are transferred to a server in the United States. This means that it is generally not possible to associate the stored data with a specific individual. Only in isolated cases is the full IP address transferred to a server in the United States and shortened there.
You can object to the collection of data at any time, with effect for the future, by using the Google Analytics deactivation browser add-on found at
tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
