In particular, an objection to data processing for the purpose of direct advertising is permitted.
III. Information on data processing
Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies, the deletion of the data does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations and no other information is provided below on individual processing procedures.
Cookie Manager
The provider uses a cookie manager to obtain consent for the use of technically unnecessary cookies on the website.
When the website is called up, a cookie with the setting information is stored on the user's end device so that the request for consent does not have to be made on a subsequent visit.
The cookie is required to obtain the user's legally compliant consent.
The user can prevent or stop the installation of cookies by changing the settings in their browser.
Cookies
a) Session-Cookies
We use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are placed and stored on your end device by the Internet browser you use. These cookies process certain information from you, such as your browser or location data or your IP address, to an individual extent.
This processing makes our website more user-friendly, effective and secure, as the processing enables, for example, the reproduction of our website in different languages or the offer of a shopping basket function.
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b.) GDPR, insofar as these cookies process data for contract initiation or contract fulfilment.
If the processing does not serve to initiate or fulfil a contract, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis in this case is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
These session cookies are deleted when you close your Internet browser.
b) Third-party cookies
Our website may also use cookies from partner companies with whom we work for the purposes of advertising, analysing or the functionalities of our website.
Please refer to the following information for details, in particular the purposes and legal basis for processing such third-party cookies.
c) Possibility of elimination
You can prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. You can also delete cookies that have already been saved at any time. However, the steps and measures required for this depend on the specific Internet browser you are using. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your Internet browser or contact its manufacturer or support. In the case of so-called Flash cookies, however, processing cannot be prevented via the browser settings. Instead, you must change the settings of your Flash player. The steps and measures required for this also depend on the specific Flash player you are using. If you have any questions, please also use the help function or documentation of your Flash player or contact the manufacturer or user support.
However, if you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, this may mean that not all functions of our website can be used to their full extent.
Contact enquiries / contact option
If you contact us by contact form or e-mail, the data you provide will be used to process your enquiry. The provision of the data is necessary for processing and answering your enquiry - without it we cannot answer your enquiry or can only answer it to a limited extent.
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
Your data will be deleted if your enquiry has been conclusively answered and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations, such as in the case of any subsequent contract processing.
User contributions, comments and ratings
We offer you the opportunity to publish questions, answers, opinions or reviews, hereinafter referred to as ‘contributions’, on our website. If you make use of this offer, we will process and publish your contribution, the date and time of submission and the pseudonym you may have used.

In addition, we also process your IP address and email address. The IP address is processed because we have a legitimate interest in initiating or supporting further steps if your contribution infringes the rights of third parties and/or is otherwise unlawful.
The legal basis in this case is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in any necessary legal defence.
We operate a company presence on the Instagram platform to advertise our products and services and to communicate with interested parties or customers.
We are jointly responsible for this social media platform with Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Instagram's data protection officer can be contacted via a contact form: https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/540977946302970
We have regulated the joint responsibility in an agreement regarding the respective obligations within the meaning of the GDPR. This agreement, which sets out the mutual obligations, is available at the following link: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum
The legal basis for the processing of personal data that takes place as a result and is described below is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in analysing, communicating, selling and advertising our products and services.
The legal basis may also be the user's consent to the platform operator in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The user can revoke this consent for the future at any time by notifying the platform operator in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR.
When our online presence is accessed on the Instagram platform, user data (e.g. personal information, IP address, etc.) is processed by Facebook Ireland Ltd. as the operator of the platform in the EU.
This user data is used for statistical information about the use of our company presence on Instagram. Facebook Ireland Ltd. uses this data for market research and advertising purposes and to create user profiles. Based on these profiles, Facebook Ireland Ltd. is able, for example, to advertise users within and outside Instagram based on their interests. If the user is logged into their Instagram account at the time of access, Facebook Ireland Ltd. can also link the data to the respective user account. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
If the user contacts us via Instagram, the user's personal data entered on this occasion will be used to process the request. The user's data will be deleted by us if the user's inquiry has been conclusively answered and there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary, e.g. in the case of subsequent contract processing.
Facebook Ireland Ltd. may also set cookies to process the data.
If the user does not agree to this processing, it is possible to prevent the installation of cookies by setting the browser accordingly. Cookies that have already been saved can also be deleted at any time. The settings for this depend on the respective browser. In the case of Flash cookies, processing cannot be prevented via the settings of the browser, but by the corresponding setting of the Flash player. If the user prevents or restricts the installation of cookies, this may mean that not all Facebook functions can be used to their full extent.
Further information on the processing activities, their prevention and the deletion of the data processed by Instagram can be found in Instagram's data policy: https://help.instagram.com/519522125107875

Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics on our website. This is a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as “Google”.
The Google Analytics service is used to analyze the usage behavior of our website. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our website.
Usage and user-related information, such as IP address, location, time or frequency of visits to our website, is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, we use Google Analytics with the so-called anonymization function. This function allows Google to shorten the IP address within the EU or EEA.
The data collected in this way is in turn used by Google to provide us with an evaluation of the visit to our website and the usage activities there. This data can also be used to provide other services related to the use of our website and the use of the Internet.
Google states that it will not associate your IP address with any other data. Google also keeps under: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners
Further data protection information is available for you, for example on the options for preventing the use of data.
Google also offers under: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de a so-called deactivation add-on together with further information on this. This add-on can be installed with the most common Internet browsers and offers you further control over the data that Google collects when you visit our website. The add-on informs the JavaScript (ga.js) of Google Analytics that information about your visit to our website should not be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analysis services. Of course, you can also find out whether and which other web analysis services we use in this privacy policy.
Google-Maps
We use Google Maps on our website to display our location and to provide directions. This is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as “Google”.
In order to enable the display of certain fonts on our website, a connection to the Google server in the USA is established when our website is accessed.
If you call up the Google Maps component integrated into our website, Google stores a cookie on your end device via your Internet browser. Your user settings and data are processed in order to display our location and create directions. We cannot rule out the possibility that Google uses servers in the USA.
If you have given your consent for this processing, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The legal basis may also be Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in optimizing the functionality of our website.
This connection to Google enables Google to determine from which website your request has been sent and to which IP address the directions are to be sent.
If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the installation of cookies by making the appropriate settings in your Internet browser. Details on this can be found above under “Cookies”.
In addition, the use of Google Maps and the information obtained via Google Maps is subject to the Google Terms of Use https://policies.google.com/terms?gl=DE&hl=de and the terms and conditions for Google Maps https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps.html.

Google search function (‘CSE’)
We use the ‘Google Custom Search Engine’ (Google Custom Search Engine ‘CSE’) for full-text searches on the website. ‘CSE’ is a service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as “Google”.
‘CSE’ enables a full-text search for content on our website. This search function can be accessed via a ‘Google Custom Search’ search box.
The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the user-friendliness of the website.
The function is integrated unchanged on our website as a software module from Google.
If the search is activated by entering a search term, Google uses a plugin to load the information searched for. At the same time, the terms entered by the user and the user's IP address are transmitted to Google to perform the search and display the search results.
If the user is logged into their existing Google account at the time of the search process, Google can assign the information collected to the associated user profile.
Google offers further information, in particular on the options for preventing the use of data, under the following links:

Google Remarketing or ‘Similar target groups’ component from Google
We use the remarketing or ‘similar target groups’ function on our website. This is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as ‘Google’.
We use this function to display interest-based, personalised advertising on third-party websites that also participate in the Google advertising network.
If you have given your consent for this processing, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The legal basis may also be Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our website.
To enable this advertising service, Google stores a cookie with a sequence of numbers on your end device via your Internet browser during your visit to our website. This cookie records both your visit and the use of our website in anonymised form. However, no personal data is passed on in the process. If you subsequently visit the website of a third party that also uses the Google advertising network, adverts may appear that are related to our website or our offers there.
To permanently deactivate this function, Google offers the following options for the most common Internet browsers via https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin a browser plugin.
Likewise, the use of cookies from certain providers, e.g. via http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices
oder http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ can be deactivated via opt-out.
Cross-device marketing allows Google to track your usage behaviour across multiple devices, so that you may be shown interest-based, personalised advertising even if you switch devices. However, this assumes that you have agreed to the linking of your browsing history with your existing Google account.
Google offers further information on Google Remarketing at https://www.google.com/privacy/ads/ .
WhatsApp contact
To make contact, the provider enables the customer to contact them via the messenger service WhatsApp. WhatsApp is a service of WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as WhatsApp, a subsidiary of Facebook.
When the user communicates with the provider via WhatsApp, both the provider and WhatsApp receive the user's mobile phone number and the information that the user has contacted the provider.
The aforementioned data is also forwarded by WhatsApp to Facebook servers in the USA and processed by WhatsApp and Facebook in accordance with the WhatsApp Privacy Policy, which also includes processing for their own purposes, such as improving the WhatsApp service.
However, in the opinion of the data protection supervisory authorities, the USA does not currently have an adequate level of data protection. However, there are so-called standard contractual clauses: https://faq.whatsapp.com/general/about-standard-contractual-clauses
However, these are agreements under private law and therefore have no direct impact on the access options of the authorities in the USA.
For more information on the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing of this data by WhatsApp and Facebook, as well as related rights and privacy settings options, please refer to WhatsApp's privacy policy: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/#privacy-policy
The legal basis for this processing and the transfer to WhatsApp is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 b. GDPR, insofar as the contact relates to an existing contractual relationship or serves to initiate such a contractual relationship. If the contact is not made for the aforementioned purposes, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The provider has a legitimate interest in improving the quality of service.
