8 Newsletter

Description and scope of data processing

Based on our legitimate interests, we offer our users the opportunity to subscribe to a free newsletter on this website.

We only send newsletters, emails and other electronic notifications with advertising information (hereinafter "newsletter") with the consent of the recipient or with legal permission. When registering for the newsletter, the data from the input screen is transmitted to us.

If the contents of the newsletter are specifically described when registering for the newsletter, they are decisive for the user's consent. Our newsletters also contain information about our products, offers, promotions and our company.

The following user data is collected:

the e-mail address
the first name and surname
the selected language
In addition, the following data is collected during registration and when data is changed

IP address of the accessing computer
Date and time
Your consent is obtained for the processing of the data as part of the registration process and reference is made to this privacy policy.

Registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registering, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no-one can register with other people's e-mail addresses. Subscriptions to the newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process in accordance with legal requirements. This includes storing the time of registration and confirmation as well as the IP address. Changes to your data stored with the mailing service provider are also logged.

If you purchase goods or services on our website and enter your e-mail address, this may subsequently be used by us to send you a newsletter. In such a case, only direct advertising for our own similar goods or services will be sent via the newsletter.

No data will be passed on to third parties in connection with the data processing for sending newsletters. The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter.

The newsletters contain a so-called "web-beacon", i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from the server of the mailing service provider when the newsletter is opened. As part of this retrieval, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval, is initially collected. This information is used for the technical improvement of the services based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined with the help of the IP address) or the access times. The statistical surveys also include determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our intention nor that of the mailing service provider to observe individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.

Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the processing of data after registration for the newsletter by the user is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO if the user has given consent.

The legal basis for sending the newsletter as a result of the sale of goods or services is Section 7 (3) UWG.

The legal basis for statistical surveys and analyses is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

Purpose of the data processing

To subscribe to the newsletter, you must provide your email address, your name and the desired language of the newsletter. The purpose of collecting the user's email address is to send the newsletter. The name is used to address you personally in the newsletter. The language must be selected as we offer our newsletter in several languages.

The collection of other personal data as part of the registration process serves to prevent misuse of the services or the e-mail address used.

The purpose of the statistical surveys is to use a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves both our business interests and the expectations of the users.

Duration of storage

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. The user's e-mail address is therefore stored for as long as the subscription to the newsletter is active.

The other personal data collected during the registration process is generally deleted after a period of seven days.

Right of objection and removal

The subscription to the newsletter can be canceled by the user concerned at any time. For this purpose, there is a corresponding link in every newsletter.

This also makes it possible to withdraw consent to the storage of personal data collected during the registration process.

At the same time, your consent to the statistical analyses expires. Unfortunately, it is not possible to separately revoke the sending by the sending service provider or the statistical analysis.

If users have only registered for the newsletter and have canceled this registration, their personal data will be deleted.

Purpose of the data processing

User registration is required for the provision of certain content and services on our website.

Orders in the web shop

User registration is required to fulfill a contract with the user or to carry out pre-contractual measures.

Duration of storage

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected.

This is the case for the data collected during the registration process if the registration on our website is canceled or modified.

This is the case for the data collected during the registration process to fulfill a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures if the data is no longer required for the execution of the contract. Even after conclusion of the contract, it may be necessary to store personal data of the contractual partner in order to fulfill contractual or legal obligations.

[Continuing obligations require the storage of personal data during the term of the contract. In addition, warranty periods must be observed and data must be stored for tax purposes. The storage periods to be observed here cannot be determined across the board, but must be determined on a case-by-case basis for the respective contracts and contracting parties].

Right of objection and removal

As a user, you have the option of canceling your registration at any time. You can have the data stored about you amended at any time.

You can change your data yourself in the customer area of the web store or via our customer service. Our customer service can delete your account for you by telephone or email.

If the data is required to fulfill a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, premature deletion of the data is only possible insofar as contractual or legal obligations do not prevent deletion.

10 Google Analytics

Scope of the processing of personal data

We use the web analysis service Google Anayltics from Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, ("Google") on the basis of our legitimate interests. It is used to analyze the surfing behavior of our users.

Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the online offer by the user is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the person concerned is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. During the course of this technical procedure, Google gains knowledge of personal information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, inter alia, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements.

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access was made and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. Each time our website is visited, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.

If individual pages of our website are accessed, the following data is stored:

The website accessed
The website from which the user came to the website accessed (referrer)
The subpages that are accessed from the website accessed
The time spent on the website
The frequency with which the website is accessed
Google has recognized the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission for the transfer of personal data to third countries and thus offers a guarantee of compliance with European data protection law.

Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online offer by users, to compile reports on the activities within this online offer and to provide us with further services associated with the use of this online offer and the use of the Internet. Pseudonymous user profiles can be created from the processed data.

The IP address transmitted by the user's browser is not merged with other Google data.

We use Google Analytics to display the ads placed by Google and its partners within advertising services only to those users who have also shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited) that we transmit to Google (so-called "remarketing" or "Google Analytics audiences"). With the help of remarketing audiences, we also want to ensure that our ads correspond to the potential interest of users and are not annoying.

We only use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymization. This means that the IP address of users is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

The legal basis for the processing of users' personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Purpose of the data processing

The processing of users' personal data enables us to analyze the surfing behavior of our users. By evaluating the data obtained, we are able to compile information about the use of the individual components of our website. This helps us to constantly improve our website and its user-friendliness. These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in processing the data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

By anonymizing the IP address, the interest of users in the protection of their personal data is sufficiently taken into account.

Duration of storage

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for our recording purposes.

In our case, this is the case after 50 months.

Possibility of objection and removal

Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted by it to our website and Google. As a user, you therefore have full control over the use of cookies. You can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all functions of the website to their full extent.

Users can prevent the storage of cookies by setting their browser software accordingly; users can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to their use of the online offer and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

This browser plugin informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser plug-in is considered an objection by Google. If the data subject's information technology system is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later date, the data subject must reinstall the browser plug-in in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person who is attributable to their sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser plugin.

You can find more information on data use by Google, setting and objection options on the Google websites: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners ("Data use by Google when you use our partners' websites or apps"), http://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads ("Data use for advertising purposes"), http://www.google.de/settings/ads ("Manage information that Google uses to show you advertising").

Google Fonts provides an intuitive and robust directory of open source designer web fonts. With an extensive catalog, typography can be seamlessly incorporated and integrated into any design project.

The service is used to integrate fonts (web fonts) on our websites. Google Fonts are integrated by calling up a Google server, regularly via the URL https://fonts.google.com. The fonts come from various designers and are open source.

When users access our website, a request is usually sent to a Google server in the USA, where it is stored and processed.

Technically, the fonts embedded in our website are stored on a Google server and then loaded from there when the page is accessed. By using Google Fonts, Google's servers send the corresponding file to each user based on the technologies supported by the user's browser.

Google has recognized the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission for the transfer of personal data to third countries and thus offers a guarantee of compliance with European data protection law.

The connection to Google Fonts is not authenticated. When you visit our website, no cookies or login information are sent to Google via the Google Fonts service. Corresponding requests to the servers of the Google Fonts service are made to resource-specific domains such as fonts.googleapis.com or fonts.gstatic.com, so that requests for fonts are generally separate from login information that would otherwise be sent to Google domains, such as google.com or google.de, and may be authenticated.

Google Fonts logs data records of CSS and font file requests. For statistical purposes, Google assigns aggregated usage numbers as to how popular font families are and publishes these results on an analytics page (https://fonts.google.com/analytics).

Further information about the Google Fonts service can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq

Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel to only show the Facebook ads we place to those Facebook users who have shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products) based on the information they visit websites) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called “Custom Audiences”). With the help of the Facebook pixel, we also want to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of the users and do not appear annoying. With the help of the Facebook pixel, we can also understand the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook advertisement (so-called “conversion”).

The Facebook pixel is integrated directly by Facebook when you access our website and can store a so-called cookie, i.e. a small file, on your device. If you then log in to Facebook or visit Facebook while logged in, your visit to our online offering will be noted in your profile. The data collected about you is anonymous to us, so it does not allow us to draw any conclusions about the identity of the user. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and can be used by Facebook and for its own market research and advertising purposes. If we transmit data to Facebook for comparison purposes, it will be encrypted locally in the browser and only then sent to Facebook via a secure https connection. This is done solely for the purpose of comparing data with the same data encrypted by Facebook.

Furthermore, when using the Facebook pixel, we use the additional function “extended matching” (here data such as telephone numbers, email addresses or Facebook IDs of the users) are used to form target groups (“Custom Audiences” or “Look Alike Audiences”) Facebook (encrypted) transmitted. Further information on “extended comparison”: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/611774685654668).

Also based on our legitimate interests, we use the “Custom Audiences from File” procedure of the social network Facebook, Inc. In this case, the email addresses of the newsletter recipients are uploaded to Facebook. The upload process is encrypted. The upload is used solely to determine recipients of our Facebook ads. We want to ensure that the ads are only shown to users who are interested in our information and services.

The processing of data by Facebook takes place within the framework of Facebook's data usage policy. Accordingly, general information on the display of Facebook ads can be found in Facebook's data usage policy: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php. You can find specific information and details about the Facebook Pixel and how it works in the Facebook help section: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/651294705016616.
