The legal basis for data processing within the framework of the EU General Data Protection Regulation is derived from Articles 6 and 9 of the GDPR. Depending on the situation in which we process your data, different legal bases may apply.
Consent
Insofar as your consent has been obtained for the processing of personal data, Article 6 I a) GDPR is the legal basis for data processing. If your consent has been obtained for the processing of special categories of personal data, Article 9 II a) GDPR is the legal basis for data processing. Consent that has been given can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.
Contract
When processing personal data collected for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, Article 6 I b) GDPR is the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
Legal obligation
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6 I c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
Vital interests
In the event that vital interests of you or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6 I d) GDPR is the legal basis.
Legitimate interest
If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, Article 6 I f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing. The legitimate interest of our company lies in the performance of our business activities.
As part of our data processing, we process your personal data. You have the rights set out in Chapter III of the GDPR vis-à-vis our company.

When you use our website, connection information is stored in server log files.
This information includes:
The web server logs are processed exclusively for security purposes.
We only use the log data for statistical purposes for the operation, security and optimisation of the website. However, we reserve the right to review log data retrospectively if we have reasonable grounds to suspect unlawful use.
This website and all its subpages use cookies and other similar tracking technologies, such as tracking pixels or local storage objects (LSOs).
Cookies are text files that are stored on your device. Cookies can be read, transferred and modified by the website when you visit it.
We use both ‘first-party cookies’, i.e. cookies that are controlled by the company that operates the domain on which the cookies are set, and ‘third-party cookies’. The latter are controlled by third parties and help us to analyse the effectiveness of our website content and the interests of our visitors, to measure the performance of our website, or to display needs-based advertising and other content on our or other websites.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called ‘session cookies’. They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit or browser session (so-called transient cookies). Other cookies remain stored on your device for a specified period of time or until you delete them (so-called persistent cookies). These cookies enable us to recognise your browser the next time you visit. We only use cookies with random, pseudonymous identification numbers. These identification numbers are used to evaluate your usage behaviour on our website. At no time is the usage profile assigned to the name of a natural person. If you use special functions of our website (such as the shopping basket or ‘stay logged in’), cookies are also used for these functions.
Tracking pixels are tiny graphic files and are used to retrieve data from your device, such as your device type, operating system, IP address or the time of your visit.
Local storage objects (LSOs) work similarly to cookies. However, the information is stored locally in the browser.
Insofar as the cookies and other technologies are technically necessary for the operation of the website, the legal basis for their use and the associated processing of your personal data is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interests in this regard lie in particular in being able to provide you with a technically optimised, user-friendly and needs-based website and in ensuring the security of our systems.
The use of cookies and other technologies that are not technically necessary for the operation of the website and that primarily serve analysis and marketing purposes, as well as the associated processing of your personal data, is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR only if you have given us your express consent.
When you first visit our website or one of its subpages, a cookie banner will inform you about the cookies and other technologies used on the website and give you the opportunity to choose which of the cookies and other technologies requiring consent you wish to give your consent to.
The cookie banner also allows you to find out about the individual functions of the cookies at any time by clicking on the ‘Cookies’ button or to view our detailed privacy policy by clicking on the ‘Privacy Policy’ button.
You can revoke your consent at any time and change your settings regarding cookies and other technologies that require consent at any time by clicking on the small icon at the bottom left of the screen.
As part of our website, we use the consent management system of Borlabs GmbH, Hamburger Str. 11, 22083 Hamburg, to manage your consent to cookies and third-party services that require consent.
The consent management system logs and stores your cookie preferences so that we can implement your selections accordingly and verify that the appropriate consent has been given.
A cookie is set for logging purposes, which collects and stores the following data:
This data is stored and processed exclusively for the purpose of implementing the selection you have made and to be able to prove that the corresponding consents have been given.
The legal basis for processing is our legal obligation under Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR to obtain consent for cookies and third-party services that require consent.
You can send us any data you wish using the contact forms available on our website. The data is forwarded by our web server to our company’s email inbox.
The following data is also stored when the message is sent:
Alternatively, you can contact us via email.
By sending your message, you agree that we may process your personal data for the purpose of handling your contact request. You may object to this processing at any time without providing a reason. Please note, however, that if you withdraw your consent, we will no longer be able to respond to your request.
The legal basis for the processing of your personal data is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, insofar as it concerns a contact request.
If the contact is made in connection with the initiation or execution of a contract, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
If you have given us your consent to use email tracking, tracking will be activated for the current communication via the contact form. You can revoke your consent at any time without giving reasons, with effect for the future.
We use the Brevo service from Sendinblue GmbH, Köpenicker Straße 126, 10179 Berlin, for email tracking. Brevo acts as a processor. In this regard, we have concluded an data processing agreement with Brevo in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.

On this website, we use Google Tag Manager, a service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (‘Google’) to control which scripts are executed on our website. Google Tag Manager allows website tags to be managed via a user interface, whereby Google Tag Manager only implements tags without using cookies. Google Tag Manager triggers other tags that can be used to collect data without Google Tag Manager accessing this data. To monitor the stability and performance of our system, Google Tag Manager collects some aggregated data on tag triggering. However, this data does not contain any user IP addresses or user-specific IDs, so it cannot be attributed to a specific person.
The legal basis for the use of Google Tag Manager is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
Further information about Google Tag Manager is available at https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html.
This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (‘Google’). Google Analytics uses ‘cookies’, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The cookies contain information about interactions that are tracked when using the website.
The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The US intelligence services can access this data within the scope of their extensive legal surveillance powers. According to Google, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being processed in the USA by means of automatic IP anonymisation. However, your full IP address may also be transmitted to a Google server in the USA, allowing US intelligence agencies to access this data.
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. In addition, Google’s own processing, which is not defined in detail by Google, is intended for the provision and protection of the Analytics service. However, we have not shared any data with Google for its own processing using the data sharing settings.
We track the following events if you have agreed to the use of Google Analytics:
The following parameters are collected by default for each event:
You can prevent cookies from being stored by adjusting your browser settings accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. You can also deactivate Google Analytics using the cookie settings.
The legal basis for our data collection with Google Analytics software is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, which you can revoke at any time with future effect using the procedure described above.
Your data will be automatically deleted after 14 Months. Data that has reached its retention period is automatically deleted once a month.

Our website uses Google Ads Conversion Tracking. This is an analysis service provided by Google Inc., Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043, USA. The service places a cookie on your computer if you have arrived at our site via a Google advertisement. We do not use the cookie to identify you personally. It only serves to recognise whether a user has arrived at our website via an advertisement purchased by us. This makes it possible to track which advertisement you used to visit our website and whether you have visited our website again since then. We use the findings from this analysis to tailor our advertising more effectively.
The legal basis for processing is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
