What is this about?

This privacy policy meets the legal requirements for transparency in the processing of personal data. This includes all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, email address, IP address, or user behavior when visiting a website. Information that we cannot relate to your person (or only with disproportionate effort), e.g. through anonymization, is not personal data. The processing of personal data (e.g. collection, retrieval, use, storage, or transmission) always requires a legal basis and a defined purpose.

Stored personal data is deleted as soon as the purpose of processing has been achieved and there are no legitimate reasons for further storage of the data. We will inform you of the specific storage periods or criteria for storage in the individual processing operations. Irrespective of this, we store your personal data in individual cases for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims and in the event of statutory retention obligations.

Who receives my data?

We only pass on your personal data that we process on our website to third parties if this is necessary for the fulfillment of the purposes and is covered by the legal basis (e.g., consent or protection of legitimate interests) in individual cases. In addition, we may disclose personal data to third parties in individual cases if this serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims. Possible recipients may then include, for example, law enforcement authorities, lawyers, auditors, courts, etc.

If we use service providers to operate our website who process personal data on our behalf within the scope of order processing in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR, these may be recipients of your personal data. You can find more detailed information on the use of order processors and web services in the overview of the individual processing operations.

Do you use cookies?

Cookies are small text files that we send to your device’s browser and store there when you visit our website. As an alternative to cookies, information can also be stored in your browser’s local storage. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies or local storage (technically necessary cookies). Other cookies, on the other hand, enable us to perform various analyses so that, for example, we are able to recognize the browser you are using when you visit our website again and transmit various information to us (non-necessary cookies). Cookies enable us, among other things, to make our website more user-friendly and effective for you by tracking your use of our website and determining your preferred settings (e.g., country and language settings). If third parties process information via cookies, they collect the information directly via your browser. Cookies do not cause any damage to your device. They cannot execute programs or contain viruses.

We provide information about the respective services for which we use cookies in the individual processing operations. Detailed information about the cookies used can be found in the cookie settings or in the Consent Manager of this website.

What rights do I have?

Under the conditions of the legal provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you as the data subject have the following rights:

• Information pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR about the data stored about you in the form of meaningful information about the details of the processing and a copy of your data;
  Rectification pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR of inaccurate or incomplete data stored by us;
  Deletion pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR of the data stored by us, unless the processing is necessary for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims;
• Restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR, insofar as the accuracy of the data is disputed, the processing is unlawful, we no longer need the data and you refuse to have it deleted because you need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, or you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR.
  Data portability pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR, insofar as you have provided us with personal data within the scope of consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR or on the basis of a contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR and this data has been processed by us using automated procedures. You will receive your data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, or we will transmit the data directly to another controller, if this is technically feasible.
• Objection pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR to the processing of your personal data, insofar as this is based on Art. 6 (1) (e), (f) GDPR and there are reasons for this arising from your particular situation or the objection is directed against direct marketing. The right to object does not apply if compelling legitimate grounds for the processing are demonstrated or if the processing is for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. If the right to object does not apply to individual processing operations, this is indicated there.
  Revocation pursuant to Art. 7 (3) GDPR of your consent with effect for the future.
  Complaint pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR to a supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR. As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority of your usual place of residence, your place of work, or our company headquarters.

Purpose and legal basis

Processing is carried out to protect our overriding legitimate interest in displaying our website and ensuring security and stability on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

On our website, we offer you the opportunity to contact us using a form provided. The information collected via mandatory fields is necessary to process your request. In addition, you can voluntarily provide additional information that you consider necessary for processing your contact request.

When using the contact form, your personal data will not be passed on to third parties.

Purpose and legal basis

The processing of your data through the use of our contact form is carried out for the purpose of communicating and processing your request on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. If your request relates to an existing contractual relationship with us, the processing is carried out for the purpose of fulfilling the contract on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

Purpose and legal basis

We process your personal data for the purpose of order processing in order to fulfill a contract with you in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. There is a contractual obligation to provide your data insofar as it relates to the mandatory fields, as this information is necessary for identifying you and for us to fulfill the contract. There is no legal obligation to provide the data. Without the provision of this information, it is not possible to place an order in our online shop and thus conclude a contract. There is no obligation to provide the additional information that is voluntarily provided.

Storage period

We store your personal data until your order has been completed (end of contract). Your data will only be stored further if there are legal storage obligations (e.g., tax and commercial law).

Presence on social media platforms

We maintain fan pages, accounts, or channels on the networks listed below in order to provide you with information and offers within social networks and to offer you additional ways to contact us and find out about our offers. Below, we inform you about what data we or the respective social network process from you in connection with your access to and use of our fan pages/accounts.

Data we process about you

If you wish to contact us via Messenger or direct message on the respective social network, we will generally process your username that you use to contact us and, if necessary, store any other data you provide to the extent necessary to process/respond to your request.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 f) GDPR (processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of the controller).

(Static) usage data that we receive from social networks

We receive statistics about our accounts automatically via Insights functions. The statistics include the total number of page views, likes, information about page activity and post interactions, reach, video views, and information about the ratio of men to women among our fans/followers.

The statistics only contain aggregated data that cannot be traced back to individual persons. They are not identifiable to us.

What data social networks process about you

You do not need to be a member of the respective social network to view the content of our fan pages or accounts, and no user account for the respective social network is required.

Please note, however, that when you visit the respective social network, social networks also collect and store data from website visitors without a user account (e.g., technical data to display the website to you) and use cookies and similar technologies, over which we have no influence. Details can be found in the privacy policies of the respective social network (see the corresponding links above).

If you wish to interact with the content on our fan pages/accounts, e.g., comment on, share, or like our posts/contributions and/or contact us via messenger functions, you must first register with the respective social network and provide personal data.

We have no influence on the data processing by social networks in the context of your use. To the best of our knowledge, your data is stored and processed in particular in connection with the provision of the services of the respective social network and, furthermore, for the analysis of usage behavior (using cookies, pixels/web beacons, and similar technologies) on the basis of which advertising based on your interests is displayed both within and outside the respective social network. It cannot be ruled out that your data may also be stored by social networks outside the EU/EEA and passed on to third parties.

Information on, among other things, the exact scope and purposes of the processing of your personal data, the storage period/deletion, and guidelines on the use of cookies and similar technologies in the context of registration and use of social networks can be found in the privacy policies/cookie guidelines of the social networks. There you will also find information about your rights and options for objection.

Facebook page

When you visit our Facebook page, Facebook collects, among other things, your IP address and other information stored on your computer in the form of cookies. This information is used to provide us, as the operator of the Facebook pages, with statistical information about the use of the Facebook page. Facebook provides more detailed information on this at the following link: https://facebook.com/help/pages/insights.

We are unable to draw any conclusions about individual users from the statistical information transmitted. We only use this information to respond to the interests of our users and to continuously improve our online presence and ensure its quality.

We collect your data via our fan page solely for the purpose of enabling communication and interaction with us. This collection generally includes your name, message content, comment content, and the profile information you have made “publicly” available.

The processing of your personal data for the above-mentioned purposes is based on our legitimate business and communication interests in offering an information and communication channel in accordance with Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR. If you as a user have given your consent to data processing to the respective provider of the social network, the legal basis for processing extends to Art. 6 (1) a), Art. 7 GDPR.

Due to the fact that the actual data processing is carried out by the social network provider, our access to your data is limited. Only the social network provider is authorized to access your data in full. For this reason, only the provider can directly take and implement appropriate measures to fulfill your user rights (request for information, request for deletion, objection, etc.). The most effective way to assert your rights is therefore to contact the respective provider directly.

We are jointly responsible with Facebook for the personal content of the fan page. Data subjects can assert their rights with Facebook Ireland and with us.

According to the GDPR, Facebook has primary responsibility for processing Insights data and Facebook fulfills all obligations under the GDPR with regard to the processing of Insights data. Facebook Ireland makes the essence of the Page Insights supplement available to the data subjects.

We do not make any decisions regarding the processing of Insights data and all other information arising from Art. 13 GDPR, including the legal basis, identity of the controller, and storage period of cookies on user devices.

Further information can be found directly on Facebook (supplementary agreement with Facebook):

https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum.

We have no influence over the specific storage period for the processed data; this is determined by Google Ireland Limited. Further information can be found in the privacy policy for Google reCAPTCHA.: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-US.
