The responsible party is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (names, email addresses, etc.).

Storage period

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified within this data protection declaration, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the deletion takes place after these reasons cease to apply.

Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries

Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure in terms of data protection. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there.

For example, U.S. companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you, as the data subject, being able to take legal action against this. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) may process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

5. Plugins and tools

Vimeo

This website uses plugins from the video portal Vimeo. The provider is Vimeo Inc., 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA.

When you visit one of our pages equipped with a Vimeo video, a connection to the Vimeo servers is established. In doing so, the Vimeo server is informed which of our pages you have visited. In addition, Vimeo obtains your IP address. This also applies if you are not logged in to Vimeo or do not have an account with Vimeo. The information collected by Vimeo is transmitted to the Vimeo server in the USA.

If you are logged into your Vimeo account, you enable Vimeo to track your surfing behavior directly to your

personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your Vimeo account.

In order to recognize website visitors, Vimeo uses cookies or comparable recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting).

The use of Vimeo is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers.

This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Provided that an appropriate

consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a

GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time.

For more information on how to handle user data, please refer to Vimeo’s privacy policy at: https://vimeo.com/privacy.

Google Fonts

This site uses so-called Google Fonts, which are provided by Google, for the uniform display of fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly.

For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect to Google’s servers. As a result, Google learns that this website has been accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Fonts is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the uniform presentation of the typeface on its website.

If your browser does not support Google Fonts, a standard font will be used by your computer.

You can find more information about Google Fonts at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

WooCommerce

We have integrated the open-source shop system WooCommerce as a plugin on our website. This WooCommerce plugin is based on the WordPress content management system, which is a subsidiary of Automattic Inc. (60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA). Through the implemented functions, data is sent to Automattic Inc., stored and processed. In this privacy policy, we inform you about what data is involved, how the network uses this data and how you can manage or prevent data storage.

What is WooCommerce?

WooCommerce is an online store system that has been part of WordPress’ directory since 2011 and is designed specifically for WordPress websites. It is a customizable, open-source eCommerce platform based on WordPress that has also been integrated into our website as a WordPress plugin.

Why do we use WooCommerce on our website?

We use this practical online shop solution to be able to offer you our physical or digital products or services in the best possible way on our website. The aim is to provide you with simple and easy access to our range so that you can get your desired products quickly and easily. With WooCommerce we have found a good plugin that meets our requirements for an online shop.

What data is stored by WooCommerce?

Information that you actively enter in a text field in our online shop may be collected and stored by WooCommerce or Automattic. So if you register with us or order a product, Automattic can collect, process and store this data. In addition to e-mail address, name or address, this can also be credit card or billing information. Automattic can subsequently use this information for its own marketing campaigns.

In addition, there is also information that Automattic automatically collects from you in so-called server log files:

IP address
Browser information
Preset language setting
Date and time of web access

WooCommerce also sets cookies in your browser and uses technologies such as pixel tags (web beacons), for example, to clearly identify you as a user and possibly to be able to offer interest-based advertising. WooCommerce uses a number of different cookies, which are set depending on the user’s action. This means, for example, that when you add a product to the shopping cart, a cookie is set so that the product remains in the shopping cart when you leave our website and come back at a later date.

How long and where is the data stored?

Unless there is a legal obligation to retain data for a longer period of time, WooCommerce will delete the data when it is no longer needed for its own purposes for which it was stored. For example, server log files that contain technical data about your browser and IP address are deleted after about 30 days. Until then, Automattic uses the data to analyze the traffic on its own websites (for example, all WordPress pages) and to fix possible problems. The data is stored on Automattic’s American servers.

How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?

You have the right to access your personal data at any time and to object to its use and processing. You can also lodge a complaint with a government regulator at any time.

In your browser, you also have the option of individually managing, deleting or deactivating cookies. Please note, however, that deactivated or deleted cookies have possible negative effects on the functions of our WooCommerce online shop. Depending on which browser you use, the management of cookies works a little differently.
