I. General
Personal data will be generated when you visit our websites. These are data that are required in order to enable you to use our websites or to enable us to consider your settings. Apart from this, they are information that you provide to us via the contact options offered on these pages.
We use these data in order to ensure proper operation of our website and to answer your queries.
Below, we inform you concerning the data collected on our website and the purposes for which they are processed. We will inform you about the use of "cookies" and the analysis tools used on our websites, and the option for approving or rejecting them. We will inform you concerning your rights and the contact details of our data protection officer at the end of the data protection statement.
Cookies
We use cookies. Cookies are text files that are filed and stored on a computer system via a web browser.
Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which websites and servers can be associated with the specific web browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited websites and servers to distinguish your individual browser from any other web browser that contains any other cookies. A specific web browser may be recognised and identified by a unique cookie ID.
By use of cookies, we may provide users of this website with user-friendly services that would be impossible without setting the cookie. A cookie may optimise the information and offers on our website in the user’s interest. Cookies enable us, as mentioned before, to recognise the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is making it easier for users to use our website. For instance, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to enter his access data again every time when he visits the website because this is taken care of by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system.
You may prevent setting of cookies by our website at any time by making the corresponding setting in the web browser used and thereby permanently object to setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies already set may be erased at any time via a web browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common web browser. If the data subject deactivates setting of cookies in the web browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.
Server log files
The provider of our website will automatically collect and store information in server log files that your browser submits to us automatically. The recorded data may include
(1) browser types and versions used,
(2) the operating system used by the accessing system,
(3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (referrers),
(4) sub-webpages that are controlled via an accessing system on our website,
(5) the data and time of an access to the website,
(6) an internet protocol address (IP address),
(7) the internet service provider of the accessing system and
(8) other similar data and information that serve to defend against attacks on our information-technical systems.
We do not draw any conclusions concerning you when using these general data and information. Instead, this information is needed to
(1) properly deliver the contents of our website,
(2) optimise the contents of our website and advertisements for it,
(3) ensure permanent function of our information-technology systems and the technology of our website
(4) provide the criminal prosecution authorities with the information required for criminal prosecution in case of a cyberattack.
These data and information are therefore evaluated by us statistically and with the target of increasing data protection and data security in our company, in order to finally ensure an optimal protection level for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from any other personal data you indicate. These data will not be combined with any other data sources. If there are any indications of illegal use of our website, however, we are able to subsequently inspect these data.
Contact form
Due to legal regulations, our website contains information that enables quick electronic contact to our company as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If you contact us by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data you provide will be automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis will be stored for the purposes of processing or contacting you. There is no disclosure of this personal data to third parties.
Customers can register with us
You can register on our website by stating your personal data. Which personal data is transmitted to us results from the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data entered by you will be collected and stored exclusively for internal use by us and for our own purposes. However, we can arrange for the data to be transferred to one or more contract processors, for example a parcel service provider, who will then also use the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to us.
When you register on our website, the IP address assigned to you, the date and time of registration are also stored. This data is stored because that this is the only way to prevent misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable us to investigate criminal offences committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary for our protection. These data are only transferred to third parties if there is a legal obligation to transfer them or if the transfer serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.
Your registration is subject to the voluntary disclosure of personal data and serves to provide you with contents or services, which can be offered only to registered users due to the nature of the matter. Registered persons are generally free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from our database, unless the right to deletion is restricted by law.
Upon request, we will inform you at any time which personal data about you is stored. Furthermore, we correct or delete personal data at your request, unless the rights to rectification or deletion are restricted by law. The data protection officer named in this privacy notice and all our employees are available to you as contact persons in this matter.
Google Maps
In the context of our Internet offer, for example to find branches and/or locations of our company, interactive maps of the map service "Google Maps API" of Google LLC are used.
The operating company is Google LLC; 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway; Mountain View, CA 94043; USA. When using this service, information about the use of our website as well as your IP address are transmitted to Google LLC. servers in the USA and stored. The EU Commission's adequacy decision 2016/1250 determines an appropriate level of data protection for the USA due to the EU-US Privacy Shield.
In principle, Google undertakes not to transmit any information to third parties in its own data protection declaration, however, exceptions are possible. We can not exclude the transfer of your data to third parties, for example in the case of legally required transfers or the processing of data by third parties on behalf of Google LLC. You can find Google's privacy policy here: http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
If you do not wish the data to be transmitted, you can deactivate the map service and thus prevent the transfer of data to Google LLC. To do this, you must deactivate the Java Script in the browser.
II. Analysis tools
Google Analytics (with anonymisation function)
We have integrated the component Google Analytics (with anonymisation function) on our website.
Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis means the collection, aggregation and evaluation of data concerning the behaviour of visitors on websites. A web analysis service collects, among others, data regarding from which website a data subject came to a website (referrers), which sub-pages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed.
The operator company of the Google Analytics component is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is analysis of the visitor flows on our website. Google uses the data and information gained among others to evaluate use of our website, in order to compile online reports for us that indicate the activities on our websites and in order to render further services connected to use of our website.
Google Analytics places a cookie in your system. By every call of a single page of this website on which a Google Analytics component was integrated, the Google Analytics component will automatically cause your web browser to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. Within the context of this technical procedure, Google will gain knowledge of personal data, such as your internet protocol address, in order to track the origin of the visitors and clicks. The cookie is used to store personal data, such as the access time, place from which an access took place and frequency of visits to our website by you. At every visit to our websites, these personal data, including the internet protocol address used by you, will be transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on such personal data collected with technical means to third parties.
You may prevent setting of cookies at any time by making the corresponding setting in the web browser used and thereby permanently object to setting of cookies.
You are also able to object to recording of the data generated by Google Analytics referring to use of this website and processing of such data by Google and prevent this. For this, you must download a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it.
For further information and the applicable provisions on data protection of Google, see https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/. Google Analytics is explained in more detail under the link https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.
III. Online marketing
Google-AdWords
We have integrated components of Google Adwords on our website.
Google AdWords is an Internet advertising service that enables advertisers to place ads in both Google's search engine results and the Google Advertising Network. Google AdWords enables an advertiser to pre-define certain keywords to display an ad in Google's search engine results only when the user uses the search engine to retrieve a keyword-relevant search result. On the Google Network, ads are distributed to thematically relevant websites using an automatic algorithm and using the previously defined keywords.
The operator of Google AdWords services is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
If you access our website via a Google ad, Google will place a so-called conversion cookie on your system. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used for your identification. If the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion cookie is used to determine whether certain sub-pages, such as the shopping basket of an online shop system, have been called up on our website. The conversion cookie enables us and Google to track whether you accessed our website via an AdWords ad and generated revenue, i.e. completed or cancelled a purchase of goods.
The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to generate visit statistics for our website. We use these visit statistics to determine the total number of users who have been referred to us via AdWords ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could identify you.
The conversion cookie is used to store personal information, such as the websites you visit. Accordingly, personal data, including your IP address, is transferred to Google in the United States of America each time you visit our Internet website. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may disclose personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.
You can prevent the setting of cookies at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies.
Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility to object to interest-based advertising by Google. Please use the following link: www.google.de/settings/ad. Further information and Google's current privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
IV. Purposes and legal basis of processing activities, processor, passing on data to third parties in third countries

Both we and the processor are obligated to comply with the technically-organisational measures according to sect. 32 GDPR and the external service provider is obligated to confidentiality in addition to this. Processing takes place only on our order and upon our instruction. Processing of your personal data beyond these processing activities shall only take place with your explicit consent or in the cases required by authority or court.
Data transmission to third countries (countries outside of the European Economic Area – EEA) shall only take place as far as this is necessary to perform the contract, required by law or if you have given your consent to this. We will inform you separately concerning any details if required by law.
V. Duration of data storage
We store the personal data collected by you from the time of their collection. The data collected in this manner are stored by us for the term of our business relationship, among others comprising the initiation and processing of a contract. Beyond this, we are subject to different storage and documentation obligations by law applicable to us.
