In doing so, we or our hosting provider process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, meta and communication data of interested parties and visitors to this website on the basis of our legitimate interests in the efficient and secure provision of our website pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 f) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 28 GDPR.

3.2 Access data

We collect information about you when you use this website. We automatically collect information about your usage behavior and your interaction with us and record data about your computer or mobile device.

  • - Internet service provider of the user
  • - IP address and the requesting provider
  • We use this log data without assignment to your person or other profiling for statistical evaluations for the purpose of operation, security and optimization of our website, but also for the anonymous recording of the number of visitors to our website (traffic) as well as the extent and type of use of our website and services, also for billing purposes, to measure the number of clicks received from cooperation partners. Based on this information, we can provide personalized and location-based content and analyze traffic, troubleshoot and improve our services.

We store IP addresses for a limited period of time in the log files if this is necessary for security purposes or for the provision or billing of a service, e.g. if you use one of our offers. We also store IP addresses if we have a concrete suspicion of a criminal offense in connection with the use of our website. In addition, we store the date of your last visit (e.g. when registering, logging in, clicking on links, etc.).

    4. Storage period

    Unless specifically stated, we only store personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes pursued.

    In some cases, the legislator requires the retention of personal data, e.g. under tax or commercial law. In these cases, we continue to store the data only for these statutory purposes, but do not process it otherwise, and delete it after the statutory retention period expires.

    6. Data security

    We make every effort to ensure the security of your data within the framework of the applicable data protection laws and technical possibilities.

    Your personal data is transmitted encrypted to us. We use the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) coding system, but point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

    To secure your data, we maintain technical and organizational security measures in accordance with Art. 32 GDPR, which we continuously adapt to the state of the art.

    We also do not guarantee that our offer will be available at certain times; disruptions, interruptions or failures cannot be excluded. The servers we use are regularly carefully backed up.

    7. Disclosure of data to third parties, no data transfer to non-EU countries

    In principle, we use your personal data only within our company.

    If and insofar as we engage third parties in the performance of contracts (e.g. logistics service providers), these recipients only receive personal data to the extent that the transfer is necessary for the corresponding service.

    In the event that we outsource certain parts of data processing ("contract processing"), we contractually oblige contract processors to use personal data only in accordance with the requirements of data protection laws and to ensure the protection of the rights of the data subject.

    A transfer of data to places or persons outside the EU, other than the case mentioned in Section 4 of this declaration, does not take place and is not planned.
