SSL and/or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as purchase orders or
inquiries you submit to us as the website operator, this website uses either an SSL or a TLS encryption
program. You can recognize an encrypted connection by checking whether the address line of the browser
switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line. If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Encrypted payment transactions on this website
If you are under an obligation to share your payment information (e.g. account number if you give us the
authority to debit your bank account) with us after you have entered into a fee-based contract with us, this
information is required to process payments.
Payment transactions using common modes of paying (Visa/MasterCard, debit to your bank account) are
processed exclusively via encrypted SSL or TLS connections. You can recognize an encrypted connection by
checking whether the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the
appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.
If the communication with us is encrypted, third parties will not be able to read the payment information you
share with us.
Rejection of unsolicited e-mails
We herewith object to the use of contact information published in conjunction with the mandatory
information to be provided in our Site Notice to send us promotional and information material that we have
not expressly requested. The operators of this website and its pages reserve the express right to take legal
action in the event of the unsolicited sending of promotional information, for instance via SPAM messages.
4. Recording of data on this website
Cookies
Our websites and pages use what the industry refers to as “cookies.” Cookies are small data packages that do

Cookies have a variety of functions. Many cookies are technically essential since certain website functions
would not work in the absence of these cookies (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos).
Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for promotional purposes.
Cookies, which are required for the performance of electronic communication transactions, for the provision
of certain functions you want to use (e.g., for the shopping cart function) or those that are necessary for the
optimization (required cookies) of the website (e.g., cookies that provide measurable insights into the web
audience), shall be stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless a different legal basis is cited. The
operator of the website has a legitimate interest in the storage of required cookies to ensure the technically
error-free and optimized provision of the operator’s services. If your consent to the storage of the cookies

Subsequently, a cookie is stored in your browser in order to be able to allocate the granted consent or its
revocation. The thus recorded data will be stored until you ask us to delete them, delete the cookie yourself
or if the purpose of storing the data has ended. This does not affect mandatory statutory retention periods.
For more details please review:
https://apps.shopify.com/gdpr-legal-cookie.
We use GDPR Legal Cookie by Shopify to obtain the consent for the use of cookies that are mandated by

log files, which your browser communicates to us automatically. The information comprises:
The type and version of browser used
The used operating system
Referrer URL
The hostname of the accessing computer

The IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources.
This data is recorded on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The operator of the website has a legitimate interest
in the technically error free depiction and the optimization of the operator’s website. In order to achieve this,
server log files must be recorded.
Contact form
If you submit inquiries to us via our contact form, the information provided in the contact form as well as any
contact information provided therein will be stored by us in order to handle your inquiry and in the event
that we have further questions. We will not share this information without your consent.
The processing of these data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your request is related to the execution of a
contract or if it is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases the processing is based
on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the requests addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or
on your agreement (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.
The information you have entered into the contact form shall remain with us until you ask us to eradicate the
data, revoke your consent to the archiving of data or if the purpose for which the information is being

prejudice to any mandatory legal provisions, in particular retention periods.
Request by e-mail, telephone, or fax
If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name,

consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses (e.g. after completion of your request).
Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular statutory retention periods - remain unaffected.
Communication via WhatsApp
For communication with our customers and other third parties, one of the services we use is the instant
messaging service WhatsApp. The provider is WhatsApp Ireland Limited, Merrion Road, Dublin 4, D04
X2K5, Ireland.
The communication is encrypted end-to-end (peer-to-peer), which prevents WhatsApp or other third parties
from gaining access to the communication content. However, WhatsApp does gain access to metadata
created during the communication process (for example, sender, recipient, and time). We would also like to
point out that WhatsApp has stated that it shares personal data of its users with its U.S.-based parent
company Meta. Further details on data processing can be found in the WhatsApp privacy policy at:
https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/#privacy-policy.
The use of WhatsApp is based on our legitimate interest in communicating as quickly and effectively as
possible with customers, interested parties and other business and contractual partners (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
If a corresponding consent has been requested, data processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of the
consent; this consent may be revoked at any time with effect for the future.
The communication content exchanged between you and us on WhatsApp remains with us until you request
us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for which the data is stored ceases to apply
(e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions, in particular retention periods,
remain unaffected.
The company is certified in accordance with the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF). The DPF is an
agreement between the European Union and the US, which is intended to ensure compliance with European
data protection standards for data processing in the US. Every company certified under the DPF is obliged to
comply with these data protection standards. For more information, please contact the provider under the
following link:
https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/participant/7735.

Data transmission to the US is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) of the European
Commission. Details can be found here:
https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/business-data-transfer-addendum?lang=en.
We have set up our WhatsApp accounts in such a way that there is no automatic synchronization of data
with the address book on the smartphones in use.
We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with the above-mentioned provider.
