This website uses retargeting technology of the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland

For this purpose, Google sets a cookie in the browser of your end device, which automatically enables interest-based advertising by means of a pseudonymous cookie ID and on the basis of the pages you have visited. Any data processing beyond this only takes place if you have agreed to Google that your internet and app browsing history is linked by Google with your Google account and that information from your Google account is used to personalize ads that you view on the web. If, in this case, you are logged in to Google during your visit to our website, Google uses your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define target group lists for cross-device remarketing. For this purpose, your personal data is temporarily linked by Google with Google Analytics data in order to form target groups. In the context of the use of Google Ads Remarketing, a transmission of personal data to the servers of Google LLC in the USA may also occur.

All of the processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading out information on the end device used, is only carried out if you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. Without this consent, retargeting technology is not used during your site visit.

You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please deactivate this service in the "cookie consent tool" provided on the website.

12) Site Functionalities

12.1 Login With Amazon

On our website we provide a single sign-on function of the following provider: Amazon EU S.a. r.l., 38 avenue John F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg

In addition to a transmission of data to the above-mentioned provider location, data may also be transmitted to: Amazon.com Inc., USA

If you have an account with the provider, you can log in with these account details to create a user account or to register on our website.

When you visit this site, a direct connection between your browser and the provider's servers can be established via this login function, even if you do not have an account with the provider or are not logged in to one. The provider thereby receives the information that you have visited our site. The information collected in this respect (where applicable including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to a provider server and stored there. However, the information is not used to personally identify you and is not passed on to third parties.

These data processing operations are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in a user-friendly and interactive design of our online presence.

If you press the login button to register on our website with the data of your account with the provider, the provider transmits to us, exclusively on the basis of your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR, the general and publicly accessible information stored in your account (user ID, name, address, email address, age and gender).

We store and use the data transmitted by the provider to set up a user account with the necessary data (form of address, first name, last name, address data, country, email address, date of birth), provided you have released this to the provider. Conversely, on the basis of your consent, data (e.g. information about your browsing or purchasing behavior) can be transferred by us to your account with the provider.

The consent given can be revoked at any time with effect for the future vis-à-vis us.

12.2 Google Web Fonts

For the uniform display of fonts, this site uses so-called web fonts of the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland

When a page is accessed, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly and establishes a direct connection to the provider's servers. In doing so, certain browser information, including your IP address, is transmitted to the provider.

Data may also be transmitted to: Google LLC, USA

The processing of personal data in the course of establishing the connection with the provider of the fonts is only carried out if you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service via the "cookie consent tool" provided on the website. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer is used.

12.3 - Google reCAPTCHA

On this website we use the CAPTCHA service of the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland

Data may also be transmitted to: Google LLC, USA.

For the visual design of the captcha window, "Google Fonts", i.e. fonts loaded from the internet by Google, are used by the provider. No processing of information other than that mentioned above, which is already transmitted to Google via the functionality of ReCaptcha, takes place here.

The service checks whether an entry is made by a natural person or abusively by mechanical and automated processing, and blocks spam, DDoS attacks and similar automated malicious access. To ensure that an action is carried out by a human and not by an automated bot, the provider collects the IP address of the end device used, identification data of the browser and operating system type used, as well as the date and duration of the visit, and transmits this to the provider's servers for evaluation. Cookies may be used in this process, i.e. small text files that are stored in the browser of the end device.

Insofar as the processing described above is carried out on the basis of cookies, these are only set if you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "cookie consent tool" provided on the website.

If the processing described above is carried out without the use of cookies, the legal basis is our legitimate interest in determining individual personal responsibility on the internet and avoiding misuse and spam in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

13) Tools and Miscellaneous

Cookie Consent Tool

This website uses a so-called "cookie consent tool" to obtain effective user consent for cookies requiring consent and cookie-based applications. The "cookie consent tool" is displayed to users when the page is accessed in the form of an interactive user interface on which consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be given by ticking boxes. Through the use of the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user gives the corresponding consent by ticking the boxes. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the respective user's end device in the case of consent being given.

The tool sets technically necessary cookies to store your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed in this context.

If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed for the purpose of storing, assigning or logging cookie settings, this is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our internet presence.

A further legal basis for the processing is also Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR. As the controller, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically non-necessary cookies dependent on the respective user consent.

Insofar as necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

Further information on the operator and the setting options of the cookie consent tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.

14) Rights of the Data Subject

14.2 RIGHT TO OBJECT

IF, IN THE CONTEXT OF A BALANCING OF INTERESTS, WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA ON THE BASIS OF OUR OVERRIDING LEGITIMATE INTEREST, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THIS PROCESSING WITH EFFECT FOR THE FUTURE FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION.

IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL END THE PROCESSING OF THE DATA CONCERNED. HOWEVER, FURTHER PROCESSING REMAINS RESERVED IF WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AND FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS, OR IF THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ASSERTION, EXERCISE OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS.

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED BY US FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT ADVERTISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING. YOU CAN EXERCISE THE OBJECTION AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.

IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL END THE PROCESSING OF THE DATA CONCERNED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES.

15) Duration of Storage of Personal Data

The duration of the storage of personal data is measured on the basis of the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing and – where applicable – additionally on the basis of the respective statutory retention period (e.g. commercial and tax law retention periods).

In the case of the processing of personal data on the basis of express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR, the data concerned is stored until you revoke your consent.

If statutory retention periods exist for data processed in the context of legal or quasi-legal obligations on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, this data is routinely deleted after expiry of the retention periods, provided it is no longer required for the performance of the contract or the initiation of the contract and/or we have no legitimate interest in continued storage.

In the case of the processing of personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, this data is stored until you exercise your right to object pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.

In the case of the processing of personal data for the purpose of direct advertising on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, this data is stored until you exercise your right to object pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.

Insofar as nothing else arises from the other information in this declaration about specific processing situations, stored personal data is otherwise deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
