Right to Data Portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically—based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract—provided to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another data controller, this will be done only to the extent that it is technically feasible.
SSL or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential information—such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator—this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address bar changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock icon in your browser’s address bar.
If SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you send to us cannot be intercepted by third parties.
Encrypted Payments on This Website
If, after entering into a paid contract, you are required to provide us with your payment information (e.g., account number for direct debit authorization), this information is necessary for processing the payment.
Payments made using standard payment methods (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are processed exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address bar changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock icon in your browser’s address bar.
With encrypted communication, the payment information you send to us cannot be read by third parties.

4. Data Collection on Our Website
Cookies
Some of the web pages on this site use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies are used to make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.
You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set, to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to block cookies in specific cases or generally, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process or for providing certain functions you have requested (e.g., the shopping cart function) are stored pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. To the extent that other cookies (e.g., cookies used to analyze your browsing behavior) are stored, these are addressed separately in this Privacy Policy.
Server Log Files
The provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These include:
Browser Type and Browser Version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Hostname of the connecting computer
Time of the server request
IP address
This data is not combined with data from other sources.
The legal basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the purpose of fulfilling a contract or taking steps prior to entering into a contract.
Contact Form
If you submit inquiries to us via the contact form, we will store the information you provide in the inquiry form—including the contact information you provide there—for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case we have any follow-up questions. We will not share this information without your consent.
The processing of the data entered in the contact form is therefore based solely on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may withdraw this consent at any time. To do so, simply send us an informal email. The lawfulness of the data processing operations carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request that we delete it, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions—in particular retention periods—remain unaffected.
Registration on this website
You can register on our website to access additional features on the site. We use the information you provide for this purpose solely to enable you to use the specific offering or service for which you have registered. You must provide all required information requested during registration. Otherwise, we will reject your registration.
For important changes—such as changes to the scope of our offerings or technically necessary changes—we will use the email address you provided during registration to notify you.
The processing of the data you provide during registration is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). You may withdraw your consent at any time. To do so, simply send us an informal email. The lawfulness of any data processing that has already taken place remains unaffected by the withdrawal of your consent.
We will store the data collected during registration for as long as you remain registered on our website; it will then be deleted. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
Comment Feature on This Website
For the comment feature on this page, in addition to your comment, information regarding the time the comment was posted, your email address, and—if you are not posting anonymously—the username you selected will be stored.
Storage of the IP Address
Our comment feature stores the IP addresses of users who post comments. Since we do not review comments on our site before they are published, we need this data so that we can take action against the author in the event of legal violations, such as insults or propaganda.
Subscribe to Comments
As a user of this site, you can subscribe to comments after logging in. You will receive a confirmation email to verify that you are the owner of the email address you provided. You can unsubscribe from this feature at any time by clicking a link in the informational emails. In this case, the data entered when subscribing to comments will be deleted; however, if you have provided this data to us for other purposes or in other contexts (e.g., newsletter subscription), we will retain it.
How Long Comments Are Stored
Comments and the associated data (e.g., IP address) are stored and remain on our website until the content to which the comment refers has been completely deleted or the comments must be deleted for legal reasons (e.g., offensive comments).
Legal Basis
Comments are stored based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). You may withdraw your consent at any time. To do so, simply send us an informal email. The lawfulness of any data processing that has already taken place remains unaffected by the withdrawal of consent.
Processing of Data (Customer and Contract Data)
We collect, process, and use personal data only to the extent necessary to establish, define the terms of, or modify the legal relationship (master data). This is done in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures. We collect, process, and use personal data regarding the use of our website (usage data) only to the extent necessary to enable the user to use the service or to bill the user for it.
The customer data collected will be deleted upon completion of the order or termination of the business relationship. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
Data Transmission Upon Contract Formation for Online Stores, Retailers, and Merchandise Shipping
We disclose personal data to third parties only when necessary for the fulfillment of the contract, such as to companies responsible for delivering the goods or to the financial institution handling the payment. No further disclosure of the data will take place, or will take place only if you have expressly consented to such disclosure. We do not share your data with third parties without your express consent, such as for advertising purposes.
The legal basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the purpose of fulfilling a contract or taking steps prior to entering into a contract.
Data Transmission Upon Conclusion of a Contract for Services and Digital Content
We disclose personal data to third parties only when necessary for the fulfillment of the contract, such as to the financial institution responsible for processing payments.
Your data will not be disclosed to any other parties, or will only be disclosed if you have expressly consented to such disclosure. Your data will not be disclosed to third parties without your express consent, for example for advertising purposes.
The legal basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the purpose of fulfilling a contract or taking steps prior to entering into a contract.
5. Social Media
Share Content Using Plugins (Facebook, Google+1, Twitter, etc.)
The content on our website can be shared on social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, or Google+ in compliance with data protection regulations. This site uses the eRecht24 Safe Sharing Tool for this purpose. This tool establishes a direct connection between the social networks and users only when the user actively clicks on one of these buttons.
This tool does not automatically transfer user data to the operators of these platforms. If the user is logged in to one of these social networks, an information window will appear when using the social buttons for Facebook, Google+1, Twitter, and others, allowing the user to confirm the text before submitting it.
Our users can share the content of this site on social networks in compliance with privacy regulations, without the network operators creating complete browsing profiles.
Facebook Plugins (Like & Share Buttons)
Our website incorporates plugins from the social network Facebook, provided by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA. You can recognize the Facebook plugins by the Facebook logo or the “Like” button on our site. You can find an overview of the Facebook plugins here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.
When you visit our pages, the plugin establishes a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server. This informs Facebook that you have visited our site using your IP address. If you click the Facebook “Like” button while logged into your Facebook account, you can link the content of our pages to your Facebook profile. This allows Facebook to associate your visit to our pages with your user account. Please note that, as the provider of this website, we have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or how Facebook uses it. For more information, please see Facebook’s Privacy Policy at: https://de-de.facebook.com/policy.php.
If you do not want Facebook to be able to associate your visit to our pages with your Facebook account, please log out of your Facebook account.
Google+ Plugin
Our website uses features from Google+. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Collection and Sharing of Information: You can use the Google+ button to share information worldwide. Through the Google+ button, you and other users receive personalized content from Google and our partners. Google stores both the fact that you clicked the +1 button for a piece of content and information about the page you were viewing when you clicked +1. Your +1s may appear as recommendations alongside your profile name and photo in Google services—such as in search results or on your Google Profile—or in other places on websites and in ads across the web.
Google collects information about your +1 activity to improve Google services for you and others. To use the Google+ button, you need a public Google profile that is visible worldwide and must include at least the name you selected for the profile. This name is used across all Google services. In some cases, this name may also replace another name you used when sharing content through your Google Account. The identity associated with your Google profile may be visible to users who know your email address or have other identifying information about you.
Use of the Collected Information: In addition to the purposes described above, the information you provide will be used in accordance with Google’s applicable privacy policies. Google may publish aggregated statistics about users’ +1 activity or share them with users and partners, such as publishers, advertisers, or affiliated websites.
Instagram Plugin
Our website incorporates features from the Instagram service. These features are provided by Instagram Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA.
If you are logged into your Instagram account, you can link the content on our pages to your Instagram profile by clicking the Instagram button. This allows Instagram to associate your visit to our pages with your user account. Please note that, as the provider of these pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or how Instagram uses it.
This website uses features of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google Analytics uses what are known as “cookies.” These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie regarding your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there.
Google Analytics cookies are stored in accordance with 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.
Browser Plugin
You can prevent cookies from being stored by adjusting your browser settings accordingly; however, please note that in this case, you may not be able to use all features of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address), as well as from processing this data, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
Objection to Data Collection
You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by clicking the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set to prevent your data from being collected during future visits to this website: Disable Google Analytics.
We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google and fully comply with the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities regarding the use of Google Analytics.
Matomo (formerly Piwik)
This website uses the open-source web analytics service Matomo. Matomo uses so-called “cookies.” These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. To this end, the information generated by the cookie regarding your use of this website is stored on our server. The IP address is anonymized before storage.
Matomo cookies remain on your device until you delete them.
Matomo cookies are stored in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the anonymous analysis of user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising.
The information generated by the cookie regarding the use of this website is not disclosed to third parties. You can prevent cookies from being stored by adjusting your browser settings accordingly; however, please note that in this case, you may not be able to use all features of this website to their full extent.
If you do not consent to the storage and use of your data, you can disable it here. In this case, an opt-out cookie will be stored in your browser, which prevents Matomo from storing usage data. If you delete your cookies, the Matomo opt-out cookie will also be deleted. You will need to reactivate the opt-out setting the next time you visit our site.
Google Analytics Remarketing
Our websites use Google Analytics Remarketing features in conjunction with the cross-device features of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
This feature allows you to link the advertising audiences created with Google Analytics Remarketing to the cross-device features of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. This way, interest-based, personalized ads—which have been tailored to you based on your previous usage and browsing behavior on one device (e.g., a cell phone)—can also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g., a tablet or PC).
If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history to your Google Account for this purpose. This allows the same personalized ads to be displayed on any device on which you sign in with your Google Account.
To support this feature, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated user IDs, which are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create audiences for cross-device advertising.
You can permanently opt out of cross-device remarketing/targeting by disabling personalized ads in your Google Account; to do so, follow this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.
The consolidation of the collected data in your Google Account is based solely on your consent, which you can provide to or revoke with Google (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). For data collection processes that are not consolidated in your Google Account (e.g., because you do not have a Google Account or have objected to the consolidation), the collection of data is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from the fact that the website operator has an interest in the anonymized analysis of website visitors for advertising purposes.
This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising program provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”).
As part of Google AdWords, we use what is known as conversion tracking. When you click on an ad served by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is set. Cookies are small text files that the web browser stores on the user’s computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. If the user visits certain pages on this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page.
Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked across AdWords customers’ websites. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. Customers are informed of the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can opt out by easily disabling the Google conversion tracking cookie in your web browser’s user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
"Conversion cookies" are stored in accordance with 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.
You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set, to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to block cookies in specific cases or generally, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Facebook Pixel
Our website uses the Facebook Visitor Action Pixel, provided by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”), to measure conversions.
This allows the provider to track the behavior of website visitors after they have been redirected to the provider’s website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This enables the provider to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes and to optimize future advertising campaigns.
The data collected is anonymous to us as the operator of this website; we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, which means it can be linked to the respective user profile, and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Facebook’s Data Use Policy. This enables Facebook to display ads both on Facebook and outside of Facebook. As the site operator, we have no control over this use of the data.
If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we need your email address as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you consent to receiving the newsletter. No other data is collected, or is collected only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively to send you the requested information and do not share it with third parties.
The processing of the data entered in the newsletter sign-up form is based solely on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke your consent to the storage of your data and email address, as well as their use for sending the newsletter, at any time—for example, by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The lawfulness of any data processing that has already taken place remains unaffected by this revocation.
We will store the data you have provided to us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter until you unsubscribe, at which point it will be deleted. Data that we have stored for other purposes (e.g., email addresses for the members-only area) is not affected by this.
MailChimp
This website uses MailChimp to send newsletters. The provider is Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.
MailChimp is a service that can be used, among other things, to organize and analyze the distribution of newsletters. If you enter data for the purpose of subscribing to a newsletter (e.g., your email address), this data is stored on MailChimp’s servers in the United States.
MailChimp is certified under the “EU-U.S. Privacy Shield.” The “Privacy Shield” is an agreement between the European Union (EU) and the United States designed to ensure compliance with European data protection standards in the United States.
We use MailChimp to analyze our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent via MailChimp, a file contained in the email (known as a web beacon) connects to MailChimp’s servers in the United States. This allows us to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and, if so, which links were clicked. In addition, technical information is collected (e.g., time of access, IP address, browser type, and operating system). This information cannot be linked to the specific newsletter recipient. It is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses may be used to better tailor future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.
If you do not want MailChimp to analyze your data, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a link for this purpose in every newsletter message. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on our website.
Data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). You may withdraw this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The lawfulness of any data processing that has already taken place remains unaffected by this withdrawal.
The data you have provided to us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from both our servers and MailChimp’s servers after you unsubscribe. Data that we have stored for other purposes (e.g., email addresses for the members’ area) remains unaffected by this.
We have entered into a so-called “Data Processing Agreement” with MailChimp, in which we require MailChimp to protect our customers’ data and not to disclose it to third parties. This agreement can be viewed at the following link: https://mailchimp.com/legal/forms/data-processing-agreement/sample-agreement/.
Click Tip
This website uses Klick-Tipp to send newsletters. The provider is KLICK-TIPP LIMITED, 15 Cambridge Court, 210 Shepherd’s Bush Road, London W6 7NJ, United Kingdom.
Klick-Tipp is a service that can be used, among other things, to organize and analyze the distribution of newsletters. The data you enter to subscribe to the newsletter is stored on Klick-Tipp's servers.
Data Analysis by Klick-Tipp
When we send newsletters using Klick-Tipp, we can see whether a newsletter message has been opened and, if so, which links were clicked.
Klick-Tipp also allows us to segment newsletter recipients based on various categories (known as tagging). For example, newsletter recipients can be segmented by gender, personal preferences (e.g., vegetarian or non-vegetarian), or customer relationship (e.g., customer or potential customer). This makes it easier to tailor newsletters to the respective target groups. For more information, visit: https://www.klick-tipp.com and https://www.klick-tipp.com/handbuch.
If you do not want to receive an analysis from Klick-Tipp, you must therefore unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a link for this purpose in every newsletter message. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website.
Legal Basis
Data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). You may withdraw this consent at any time. The lawfulness of any data processing that has already taken place remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
Retention period
We will store the data you have provided to us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter until you unsubscribe, at which point it will be deleted from both our servers and those of Klick-Tipp. Data stored by us for other purposes (e.g., email addresses for the members’ area) remains unaffected by this.
