1. Scope of the processing of personal data
We generally process our users’ personal data only to the extent necessary to provide a fully functional website and our content and services. The processing of our users’ personal data is normally carried out only with the user’s consent. An exception applies in cases where it is not possible to obtain consent in advance for practical reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Where we obtain the data subject’s consent for the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
Where the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
Where the processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.
Where the processing of personal data is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person, Article 6(1)(d) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.
Where processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party, and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

3. Data erasure and retention period
The data subject’s personal data will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose for which it was stored no longer applies. Data may also be retained if this is provided for by European or national legislation in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data shall also be blocked or deleted when a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

IV. Provision of the website and creation of log files
1. Description and scope of data processing
Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing device.
The following data is collected in this process:
(1)  Information about the browser type and version used
(2)  The user’s operating system
(3)  The user’s internet service provider
(4)  The user’s IP address
(5)  Date and time of access
(6)  Websites from which the user’s system accesses our website
The data is also stored in our system’s log files. This does not include the user’s IP addresses or other data that would enable the data to be attributed to a specific user. This data is not stored together with other personal data relating to the user.

2. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR

3. Purpose of data processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user’s computer. To this end, the user’s IP address must be stored for the duration of the session.

4. Duration of storage
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of data collected for the purpose of providing the website, this occurs once the relevant session has ended.
In the case of data stored in log files, this occurs after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, users’ IP addresses are deleted or anonymised so that the client making the request can no longer be identified.
5. Right to object and right to erasure
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is strictly necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, the user has no right to object.     

V. Use of Cookies
a) Description and scope of data processing
Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the web browser or by the web browser on the user’s computer system. When a user visits a website, a cookie may be stored on the user’s operating system. This cookie contains a distinctive string of characters that enables the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is visited again.
We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require that the visiting browser can be identified even after a page has been changed.
The following data is stored and transmitted in the cookies:
(1) Language settings
(2) Items in a shopping basket
(3) Log-in information
We also use cookies on our website that enable an analysis of users’ browsing behaviour.
In this way, the following data may be transmitted:
(1) Search terms entered
(2) Frequency of page views
(3) Use of website functions

The user data collected in this way is pseudonymised using technical measures. Consequently, it is no longer possible to link the data to the user accessing the site. The data is not stored together with any other personal data relating to the user.
When visiting our website, the user is informed about the use of cookies for analytical purposes and their consent is sought for the processing of the personal data used in this context. In this context, reference is also made to this privacy policy.
b) Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using technically necessary cookies is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies for analytical purposes is Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, provided the user has given their consent in this regard.

c) Purpose of data processing
The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of websites for users. Some functions of our website cannot be provided without the use of cookies. For these, it is necessary for the browser to be recognised even after a page has been changed.
We require cookies for the following applications:
(1) Shopping basket
(2) Saving language settings
(3) Saving search terms
The user data collected by technically necessary cookies is not used to create user profiles.
These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in the processing of personal data pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

e) Duration of storage, right to object and option to delete
Cookies are stored on the user’s computer and transmitted from there to our website. As a user, you therefore have full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your web browser, you can disable or restrict the transmission of cookies. Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are disabled for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all the website’s functions to their full extent.

VI. Email
If you contact us by email, we will collect the personal data you have provided in order to process and respond to your enquiry.
(1)  Name
(2) Email address
(3) Text of the message
Data processing is carried out for the purpose of processing and responding to your enquiry.
If the contact relates to pre-contractual procedures such as an interest in purchasing, advice, preparing a quotation
or an existing purchase contract, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.
If contact is made for other reasons, our legitimate interest in data processing under Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR applies.  In this case, you may object to the processing of your personal data. Your email address will only be used to process your
enquiry; the data will subsequently be deleted in accordance with statutory retention periods, provided you have not consented to further processing and use.

VII. Advertising
We will only use your email address for our own advertising purposes (newsletters) if you have
explicitly consented to this. The legal basis for your consent is Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time; the lawfulness of the data processing based on your consent remains valid until such time as you withdraw it.  You can unsubscribe from the
newsletter by contacting us or by using the relevant link in the newsletter. Your email address will then be removed from the mailing list.
VIII. Rights of the data subject
If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller:

1. Right of access
You may request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed by us.
If such processing is taking place, you may request the following information from the controller:
(1)    the purposes for which the personal data is being processed;
(2)    the categories of personal data being processed;
(3)    the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been or will be disclosed;
(4)    the envisaged period for which the personal data concerning you will be stored, or, if this is not possible, the criteria used to determine that period;
(5)    the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of the personal data concerning you, a right to restriction of processing by the controller or a right to object to such processing;
(6)    the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;
(7)    any available information regarding the origin of the data, where the personal data are not collected from the data subject;
(8)    the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, in accordance with Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and – at least in such cases – meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the intended consequences of such processing for the data subject.

You have the right to request information as to whether personal data concerning you is transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. In this context, you may request to be informed of the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 of the GDPR in connection with the transfer.
2. Right to rectification
You have the right to request from the controller the rectification and/or completion of your personal data if the personal data concerning you is inaccurate or incomplete. The controller must carry out the rectification without undue delay.
3. Right to restriction of processing
You may request the restriction of the processing of your personal data under the following conditions:
(1)    if you contest the accuracy of your personal data for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
(2)    the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and instead request the restriction of the use of the personal data;
(3)    the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or
(4)    if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the controller’s legitimate grounds override your grounds.
Where the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data – apart from storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.
If the restriction on processing has been imposed in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.
4. Right to erasure
a) Obligation to erase data
You may request that the controller erase your personal data without undue delay, and the controller is obliged to erase such data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:
(1)    The personal data concerning you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
(2)    You withdraw your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
(3)    You object to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) of the GDPR.
(4)    The personal data concerning you has been unlawfully processed.
(5)    The erasure of the personal data concerning you is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
(6)        The personal data concerning you was collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Article 8(1) of the GDPR.
b) Notification to third parties
Where the controller has made personal data concerning you public and is obliged to erase such data pursuant to Article 17(1) of the GDPR, the controller shall, taking into account available technology and the cost of implementation, take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers processing the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested the erasure of all links to such personal data or of copies or replications of such personal data.
c) Exceptions
The right to erasure does not apply where processing is necessary
(1)    for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information;
(2)    for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
(3)    for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with Article 9(2)(h) and (i) and Article 9(3) of the GDPR;
(4)    for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89(1) of the GDPR, in so far as the right referred to in point (a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of such processing; or
(5)    for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
5. Right to be informed
If you have exercised your right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom your personal data has been disclosed of such rectification, erasure or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.
You have the right to be informed by the controller of these recipients.
6. Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to the controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that
(1)    the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, and
(2)    the processing is carried out by automated means.
In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one controller to another, insofar as this is technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be prejudiced thereby.
The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
7. Right to object
You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
The controller shall no longer process the personal data concerning you unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Where personal data concerning you is processed for the purposes of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purposes of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.
If you object to processing for the purposes of direct marketing, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.
In connection with the use of information society services – notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC – you have the option of exercising your right to object by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.
8. Right to withdraw consent under data protection law
You have the right to withdraw your consent under data protection law at any time. Withdrawing your consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out on the basis of your consent prior to its withdrawal.
9. Automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision
(1)    is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,
(2)    is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, and that law provides for appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, or
(3)    is based on your explicit consent.
However, these decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data as referred to in Article 9(1) of the GDPR, unless Article 9(2)(a) or (g) of the GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to safeguard your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.
With regard to the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the controller shall take appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.
10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR.
The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the progress and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 of the GDPR.
