With regard to the data processing to be described in more detail below, users and data
subjects have the right
- to confirmation of
whether data concerning them is being processed, information about the
data being processed, further information about the nature of the data
processing, and copies of the data (cf. also Art. 15 GDPR); - to correct or complete
incorrect or incomplete data (cf. also Art. 16 GDPR); - to the immediate deletion

controller’s future processing of their data pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f)
GDPR. In particular, an objection to data processing for the purpose of direct
advertising is permissible.
III. Information about the data processing
Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the
purpose for its storage ceases to apply, provided the deletion of the same is
not in breach of any statutory storage obligations or unless otherwise
stipulated below.
Server data
For technical reasons, the following data sent by your internet browser to us or to
our server provider will be collected, especially to ensure a secure and stable
website: These server log files record the type and version of your browser,
operating system, the website from which you came (referrer URL), the webpages
on our site visited, the date and time of your visit, as well as the IP address
from which you visited our site.
The data thus collected will be temporarily stored, but not in association with any
other of your data.
The basis for this storage is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies
in the improvement, stability, functionality, and security of our website.
The data will be deleted within no more than seven days, unless continued storage is
required for evidentiary purposes. In which case, all or part of the data will
be excluded from deletion until the investigation of the relevant incident is
finally resolved.
Cookies
a) Session cookies
We may use cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage
technologies stored on your computer by your browser. These cookies process
certain specific information about you, such as your browser, location data, or

This processing makes our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure,
allowing us, for example, to display our website in different languages or to
offer a shopping cart function.
The legal basis for such processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, insofar as these
cookies are used to collect data to initiate or process contractual
relationships.
If the processing does not serve to initiate or process a contract, our legitimate
interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis is
then Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
When you close your browser, these session cookies are deleted.
b) Third-party cookies
If necessary, our website may also use cookies from companies with whom we

you can use the browser to delete cookies that have already been stored.
However, the steps and measures required vary, depending on the browser you
use. If you have any questions, please use the help function or consult the documentation
for your browser or contact its maker for support. Browser settings cannot
prevent so-called flash cookies from being set. Instead, you will need to
change the setting of your Flash player. The steps and measures required for
this also depend on the Flash player you are using. If you have any questions,
please use the help function or consult the documentation for your Flash player
or contact its maker for support.
If you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, not all of the functions on
our site may be fully usable.

If the opening of the customer account is also intended to lead to the initiation of a
contractual relationship with us or to fulfill an existing contract with us,
the legal basis for this processing is also Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
You may revoke your prior consent to the processing of your personal data at any time
under Art. 7 Para. 3 GDPR with future effect. All you have to do is inform us
that you are revoking your consent.
