Protecting your data is important to us
We are delighted that you are interested in our company and our products or services and would like you to feel safe when visiting our websites with regard to the protection of your personal data. We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. Compliance with the provisions of the German Federal Data Protection Act is a matter of course for us.
We would like you to know when we collect what data and how we use it. We have put in place technical and organizational measures that ensure that both we and external service providers commissioned by us comply with data-protection regulations.
Personal Data
Personal data is information about your identity. This includes, for example, details such as your name, address, telephone number and email address. It is not necessary for you to disclose personal data in order to use our website. In certain cases, however, we require your name and address, as well as other details, in order to be able to provide you with the desired services.
The same applies, for example, to sending you information materials or ordered goods, or to answering individual questions. We will inform you accordingly where this is necessary. Furthermore, we only store and process data that you provide to us voluntarily and, where applicable, data that we collect automatically when you visit our websites (e.g. your IP address, the names of the pages you access, the names of the browser and operating system you are using, the date and time of your visit, the search machines used, and the names of downloaded files).
As a rule, if you make use of our services, only the data we need to provide the services is collected. Insofar as we ask for further data, this information is voluntary. Personal data is processed only for the purpose of providing the requested services and to safeguard our own justified business interests.
Intended purpose of personal data
In general, we will use the personal data you provide only in order to answer your questions, process your orders or provide you with access to certain information or offers.
For the purpose of maintaining customer relationships, it may also be necessary for us or a service company commissioned by us to use this personal data to inform you of products on ofer or to carry out online surveys in order to better fulfil our customers’ tasks and requirements.
Of course, if you do not wish to provide your personal data to support our customer relationship (in particular for direct marketing or for
market-research purposes), we will respect your wishes.
We will neither sell your personal data to third parties nor otherwise exploit it.
Usage for the intended Purpose
We will collect, process and use the personal data you have provided online only for the purposes communicated to you. Your personal data is not passed on to third parties without your express consent.
The collection of personal data and its transfer to state institutions and authorities that are entitled to receive such information shall be carried out only within the framework of the relevant legislation and/or insofar as we are obliged to do so by a court ruling. Our employees and the service companies commissioned by us are obliged by us to maintain confidentiality and to comply with the provisions of the German Federal Data Protection Act.

You can prevent cookies from being installed by adjusting the settings on your browser software accordingly. You should be aware, however, that by doing so you may not be able to make full use of all the functions of our website.

This anonymous data is stored separately from any personal information you may have provided, thereby making it impossible to connect it to any particular person. The data is used for statistical purposes in order to improve our website and services.

Use of Google Analytics with anonymization
Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as “Google“. Google Analytics employs so-called “cookies“, text files that are stored to your computer in order to facilitate an analysis of your use of the site.
The information generated by these cookies, such as time, place and frequency of your visits to our site, including your IP address, is transmitted to Google’s location in the US and stored there.
We use Google Analytics with an IP anonymization feature on our website. In doing so, Google abbreviates and thereby anonymizes your IP address before transferring it from member states of the European Union or signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
Google will use this information to evaluate your usage of our site, to compile reports on website activity for us, and to provide other services related to website- and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if this is required by law or to the extent this data is processed by third parties on Google´s behalf.
Google states that it will in never associate your IP address with other data held by Google. You can prevent cookies from being installed by adjusting the settings on your browser software accordingly. You should be aware, however, that by doing so you may not be able to make full use of all the functions of our website.
Google also offers a disabling option for the most common browsers, thus providing you with greater control over the data which is collected and processed by Google. If you enable this option, no information regarding your website visit is transmitted to Google Analytics. However, the activation does not prevent the transmission of information to us or to any other web analytics services we may use. For more information about the disabling option provided by Google, and how to enable this option, visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
Use of Google+ recommendation components
Our website employs the “+1“-buttom from Google+ belonging to Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as “Google“.
Each time our website receives an access request equipped with a “+1“ component, the component prompts your browser to download an image of this component from Google. Through this process, Google is informed precisely which page of our website is being visited.
As specified by Google, your visit undergoes additional analysis in the event you are not logged into your Google account.
If you access our site while logged into Google and press the “+1" button, Google can collect information about your Google account, websites you recommend as well as your IP address, along with other browser-related information. This allows your “+1“ recommendation to be stored and publicized.
Your Google “+1“ recommendation can then appear as a reference in other Google services, such as search results, your Google account or other places, such as on websites and ads in the internet, , together with your account name and, if applicable, a picture you provided to Google. Furthermore, Google can link your visit to our site with data stored by Google. Google also records this information for the purpose of further improving Google services.
If you wish to minimize the collection of information by Google as previously described, you must log out of your Google account before visiting our website.

Use of Facebook components
Our website employs components provided by facebook.com. Facebook is a service of Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA.
Each time our website receives an access request equipped with a Facebook component, the component prompts your browser to download an image of this Facebook component. Through this process, Facebook is informed precisely which page of our website is being visited.
When you access our site while logged into Facebook, Facebook uses information gathered by this component to identify the precise page you are viewing and associates this information to your personal account on Facebook. Whenever you click on the “Like“ button, for example, or enter a comment, this information is transmitted to your personal account on Facebook and stored there. In addition, Facebook is informed of your visit to our website. This occurs regardless of whether you click on a component or not.
If you wish to prevent the transfer to and storage of data by Facebook about you and your interaction with our website, you must first log out of Facebook before visiting our website.

Use of YouTube components with enhanced data protection mode
On our website we use components (videos) of YouTube, LLC 901 Cherry Ave., 94066 San Bruno, CA, USA, a company belonging to Google Inc., Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
To this end, we use the “ - enhanced data protection mode - ” option provided by YouTube.
When you display a page that has an embedded video, a connection will be made to the YouTube server and the content will appear on the website via a communication to your browser.
According to the information provided by YouTube, in “ - enhanced data protection mode -”, data is only transferred to the YouTube server, in particular which of our websites you have visited, if you watch the video. If you are logged onto YouTube at the same time, this information will be matched to your YouTube member account. You can prevent this from happening by logging out of your member account before visiting our website.

Use of affilinet tracking cookies
Our website employs affilinet tracking cookies in order to correctly record sales and/or leads. Cookies are small text files that are saved to your computer when you visit a website. These affilinet tracking cookies do not store personal data of any kind. Instead, it only collects the identification number of the intermediary partner as well as the reference number of the advertising material that was clicked on by the visitor to the website. This information is required in order to process the payment transaction between the website operator and the advertiser. The partner identification number serves to designate the intermediary partner to which a commission is to be paid once a transaction has been concluded. You can prevent cookies from being installed by adjusting the settings on your browser software accordingly. You should be aware, however, that by doing so you may not be able to make full use of all the functions of our website.
Children and young Persons
Persons under 18 years of age should not send us personal data without a parent’s or guardian’s consent.
We do not request, collect, or pass on to third parties any personal data from children or young persons.
Security
We have taken technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data from loss, destruction, manipulation and unauthorized access. All of our employees and all persons involved in data processing are obliged to comply with the German Federal Data Protection Act and other legislation relating to data protection and to handle personal data confidentially.
If personal data is collected and processed, the information is transmitted in encrypted form in order to prevent misuse of the data by third parties. Our security measures are revised on an ongoing basis in accordance with technological developments.
