Revoking your consent to data processing
Some data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time. To withdraw your consent, simply send an informal notification by email. The legality of the data processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
If you are affected by a data protection breach, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the responsible supervisory authority. The responsible supervisory authority for data protection issues is the state data protection officer of the federal state in which our company is based.

Right to data portability
You have the right to receive, or have transferred to a third party, the data we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract. The data will be provided in a machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only occur if it is technically feasible.
Right to information, correction, blocking, deletion
You have the right to request information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to correct, block, or delete this data, at any time and free of charge, within the scope of applicable legal regulations. For this purpose, and for any further questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time using the contact options listed in the legal notice.
SSL or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us as the site operator, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. This ensures that data you submit via this website cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the "https://" address bar of your browser and the lock symbol in the browser bar.
Data transfer upon conclusion of contract for the purchase of goods and the shipping of goods
Personal data will only be transferred to third parties if it is necessary for the execution of the contract. Third parties may include payment service providers or logistics companies, for example. Data will not be transferred beyond this scope, or only if you have expressly consented to it.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Cookies
Our website uses cookies. These are small text files that your web browser stores on your device. Cookies help us make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure.
Some cookies are 'session cookies.' These cookies are automatically deleted when you end your browser session. However, other cookies remain on your device until you delete them yourself. These cookies help us recognize you when you return to our website.
With a modern web browser, you can monitor, restrict, or prevent the setting of cookies. Many web browsers can be configured to automatically delete cookies when the program is closed. Deactivating cookies may result in limited functionality on our website.
Cookies that are necessary for electronic communication or to provide specific functions you want (e.g., shopping cart) are set based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure our services are provided in a technically sound and smooth manner. If other cookies are set (e.g., for analysis functions), these are dealt with separately in this privacy policy.
Google Analytics
Our website uses features from the Google Analytics web analysis service. The provider of this service is Google Inc., located at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

The placement of Google Analytics cookies is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize our website and, if applicable, advertising.
IP anonymization
We use Google Analytics in conjunction with the IP anonymization feature. This ensures that Google shortens your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission to the USA. In exceptional cases, Google may transmit the full IP address to a server in the USA and shorten it there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services relating to website and internet use. The IP address transmitted by Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Order processing
To fully comply with legal data protection requirements, we have concluded a data processing agreement with Google.
Demographic characteristics in Google Analytics
Our website uses the “demographics” feature of Google Analytics. This allows us to create reports that contain information about the age, gender, and interests of our site visitors. This data comes from Google's interest-based advertising and visitor data from third-party providers. It is not possible to associate this data with a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time through the ad settings in your Google account, or by generally prohibiting the collection of your data by Google Analytics, as explained in the section “Objection to data collection.”

Instant bank transfer
Our website allows payments via instant bank transfer (“Sofortüberweisung”). The payment service is provided by Sofort GmbH, Theresienhöhe 12, 80339 Munich, Germany.
With the “Instant Transfer” method, we receive a payment confirmation from Sofort GmbH in real time and can immediately begin fulfilling our obligations.
When paying via “Instant Transfer”, your PIN and TAN are transmitted to Sofort GmbH. The payment provider uses this information to log into your online banking account, automatically checks your account balance, and makes the transfer. An immediate transaction confirmation follows. After logging in, your transactions, the credit limit of your overdraft, and the existence of other accounts, as well as their balances, are also automatically checked.
In addition to PIN and TAN, the transmission to Sofort GmbH also includes payment data and data about you. The data about you includes first and last name, address, telephone number(s), email address, IP address and, if applicable, other data necessary for payment processing. This data transmission is necessary to unequivocally determine your identity and prevent fraud attempts.
Your data is transferred to Sofort GmbH based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent) and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (processing to fulfill a contract). You can withdraw your consent at any time. Data processing operations in the past remain effective in the event of a withdrawal.

Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking
Our website uses Google AdWords. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States.
AdWords is an online advertising program. We use conversion tracking as part of this program. When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that your web browser stores on your device. Google AdWords cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. The cookie allows Google and us to recognize that you clicked on an ad and were redirected to our website.
Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. These cookies cannot be tracked across AdWords customer websites. Conversion cookies are used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who use conversion tracking. AdWords customers learn how many users have clicked on their ad and been redirected to pages with a conversion tracking tag. However, AdWords customers do not receive any information that enables personal identification of users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to its use. To do this, the conversion cookie must be deactivated in the user settings of the browser. This ensures that you will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
The storage of 'conversion cookies' is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. As website operators, we have a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise our website and our advertising.
Details on Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.
