We are pleased that you are visiting our website. Protecting your privacy and your personal data—known as personal information—when you use our website is a matter of great importance to us.
According to Article 4(1) of the GDPR, personal data refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your first and last name, your address, your phone number, your email address, and your IP address.
Data for which no connection to your person can be established—such as through anonymization—is not considered personal data. Processing (e.g., collection, storage, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure, erasure, or destruction) pursuant to Article 4(2) of the GDPR always requires a legal basis or your consent. Processed personal data must be deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and there are no longer any legally prescribed retention obligations to be observed.
Here you will find information about how we handle your personal data when you visit our website. To provide the functions and services of our website, it is necessary for us to collect personal data about you.
We also explain to you the nature and scope of the respective data processing, the purpose and the corresponding legal basis, and the respective retention period.
This privacy policy applies only to this website. It does not apply to other websites to which we merely link via a hyperlink. We cannot assume any responsibility for the confidential handling of your personal data on these third-party websites, as we have no influence over whether these companies comply with data protection regulations. Please refer directly to these websites for information on how these companies handle your personal data.

We only transfer personal data to third countries where the European Commission has confirmed an adequate level of protection or where we ensure the careful handling of personal data through contractual agreements or other appropriate safeguards.
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock icon in your browser bar. When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
This website is hosted externally. The personal data collected on this website is stored on the servers of the host(s). This may primarily include IP addresses, contact requests, meta and communication data, contract data, contact details, names, website visits, and other data generated via a website.
External hosting is carried out for the purpose of fulfilling our contractual obligations to our potential and existing customers (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and in the interest of providing our online services securely, quickly, and efficiently through a professional provider (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). If consent has been obtained, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent may be revoked at any time.
Our hosting provider(s) will process your data only to the extent necessary to fulfill their service obligations and will follow our instructions regarding this data.
We use the following hosting provider(s):

Data Processing
We have entered into a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) for the use of the aforementioned service. This is a contract required by data protection law that ensures that the service provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
Our website uses so-called "cookies." Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser deletes them automatically.
Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain third-party services within the website.
Cookies serve various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them. Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.
Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process, for providing specific functions you have requested, or for optimizing the website (essential cookies) are stored pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG); consent may be revoked at any time.
You can configure your browser to be notified when cookies are set and to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or generally, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
You can find out which cookies and services are used on this website in the Cookie Consent Tool.
Our website uses CCM19 to obtain your consent to the storage of certain cookies on your device or to the use of certain technologies and to document this in compliance with data protection regulations. The provider of this technology is Papoo Software & Media GmbH, Auguststr. 4, 53229 Bonn (hereinafter "CCM19").
As part of the use of the Cookie Consent Tool, a so-called "Content Delivery Network" (CDN) from CCM19 is used.
A CDN is a service that enables the content of our online offering—in particular large media files such as graphics, fonts, or scripts—to be delivered more quickly via regionally distributed servers connected via the Internet. User data is processed solely for the aforementioned purposes and to maintain the security and functionality of the CDN and our web servers. For this purpose, the browser you are using must establish a connection to the CDN's servers. As a result, the CDN becomes aware that our website has been accessed via your IP address.
When you visit our website, a connection is established with CCM19's servers to obtain your consents and other declarations regarding cookie usage. CCM19 then stores a cookie in your browser to associate the consents you have granted or their revocation with your session. The data collected in this manner is stored until you request its deletion, delete the CCM19 cookie yourself, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory legal retention obligations remain unaffected.
CCM19 is used to obtain the legally required consents for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.
We have entered into a data processing agreement (DPA) for the use of the aforementioned service. This is a contract required under data protection law that ensures that the service provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
This website uses the open-source web analytics service Matomo. This is a service provided by Innocraft Ltd, 7 Waterloo Quay, PO Box 625, 6140 Wellington, New Zealand. (hereinafter MATOMO) The data is processed in a European data center.
With the help of Matomo, we are able to collect and analyze data regarding how website visitors use our website. This allows us, among other things, to determine when specific pages were viewed and from which region the visitors are coming. In addition, we collect various log files (e.g., IP address, referrer, browsers and operating systems used) and can measure whether our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g., clicks, purchases, etc.).
The use of this analytics tool is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising. If consent has been obtained, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent may be revoked at any time.
We use IP anonymization when analyzing data with Matomo. This involves truncating your IP address prior to analysis so that it can no longer be uniquely associated with you.
We have configured Matomo so that it does not store cookies in your browser.
Our website uses a so-called "Content Delivery Network" (CDN) from Matomo.
A CDN is a service that enables the content of our online offering—particularly large media files such as graphics, fonts, or scripts—to be delivered more quickly using servers distributed regionally and connected via the Internet. User data is processed solely for the aforementioned purposes and to maintain the security and functionality of the CDN and our web servers. For this purpose, the browser you are using must establish a connection to the CDN's servers. As a result, the CDN becomes aware that our website has been accessed via your IP address.
We use the Matomo CDN on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in protecting and effectively delivering services on our site.
