Privacy policy

Thank you for your interest in our company. We take your privacy very seriously.

In essence, you can use our website without submitting any personal data whatsoever. However, if any person concerned wishes to use our company's services via our website, personal data may be required. If the processing of personal data is required and there is no legal requirement for such processing, we will always seek the consent of the person whose data will be collected.

The processing of personal data (such as the name, address, e-mail address or telephone number of a data subject) is always in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific privacy policy provisions.

With the following privacy policy we would like to inform the public about the nature, extent and purpose of the personal data collected, used, and processed by us. In addition, data subjects are informed of their rights under this privacy policy.

As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most thorough protection possible of any personal data processed through our website. However, data transmissions over the internet can, in general, contain security holes. Thus, 100% protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, any party concerned may, of course, opt for the alternative of transferring personal data by telephone.

The links published on our website have been thoroughly researched and compiled with the utmost care. However, we have no influence on the current and future design and content of the linked pages. We are not responsible for the content of the linked pages and we do not endorse the content of these pages. For illegal, incorrect or incomplete content as well as for damages resulting from the use or non-use of the information, the provider of the web site to which reference was made is solely liable.

  On our website are plugins from the video portal Vimeo of Vimeo, LLC, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA. If you visit a page of our website that contains such a plugin, then your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of Vimeo. The plugin content is then transmitted to your browser directly from Vimeo and integrated into the site. Through this integration, Vimeo receives the information that your browser has called up the respective page of our website, even if you do not have a Vimeo account or are not logged into Vimeo at all. This information is transmitted directly from your browser to a Vimeo server in the USA and stored there. When you log into Vimeo, Vimeo can directly link your visit to our website to your Vimeo account. If you use the plugin, then the information is also transmitted directly to a server of Vimeo and stored there. The data processing operations described are based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Google Analytics

For the purpose of customizing and continually optimizing our pages, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc, ( https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/) (1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, hereafter "Google").

This information may also be transferred to third parties when required by law or if third parties process this data in the order. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with any other data provided by Google. The IP addresses are made anonymous, so that any direct correlation with your IP address is not possible (IP masking).

Google Adwords Conversion Tracking

To statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our website, we also use Google conversion tracking. In doing so, Google Adwords will set a cookie (see paragraph 5) on your computer if you have reached our website via a Google ad.

These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of the Adwords customer's website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.

Every Adwords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can not be tracked via the websites of Adwords customers. The information gathered using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Adwords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Adwords customers can see the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page using a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users.

If you do not want to participate in the tracking process, you can also refuse the use of cookies – via, for example, a browser setting that disables the automatic setting of cookies. You can also disable cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain "www.googleadservices.com". Google's privacy policy for conversion tracking can be found at the following link: https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html

DoubleClick by Google

Our website uses the online marketing tool DoubleClick by Google. The operator is Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter "DoubleClick"). DoubleClick uses cookies to turn on user-relevant ads, or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads multiple times. Google uses a cookie ID to record which ads will show in which browser and thus avoid multiple displays. This processing is based on our legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our website based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. In addition, DoubleClick uses cookie IDs to track conversions related to ad requests. This is the case when a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later uses the same browser to go to the advertiser's website and buy something there. According to Google information, DoubleClick cookies do not contain personally-identifiable information. Because of the marketing tools used, your browser instantly establishes a direct connection to the Google server. We have no control over the extent and/or continued use of data collected through the use of this tool by Google. By including DoubleClick, Google receives the information that you have accessed the relevant part of our website or have clicked on an ad from us. If you are registered with a service provided by Google, Google may associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider will know and save your IP address. If you want to object to participation in this tracking process, you can disable cookies for conversion tracking. To do this, you must set your browser to block cookies from the domain www.googleadservices.com.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR and is relevant according to our legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our website.

Google Maps

We use Google Maps (API) from Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (land) maps to visually display geographic information. The use of this service will show you our location and facilitate your commute to our shop.

When you visit any of the subpages where the Google Maps map is incorporated, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google's servers in the United States and stored there. This is done regardless of whether Google provides a user account that you are logged into, or even if there is no user account. When you're logged into Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish to be associated with your profile on Google, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for non-logged-in users) as usage profiles and evaluates them.

You have the right to object to the formation of these user profiles, which you must exercise in accordance with the policies of Google. US-based Google LLC is certified with the US Privacy Shield, which ensures compliance with the level of data protection in the EU.

If you disagree with the future transmission of your data to Google when using Google Maps, you can also disable the Google Maps web service completely by turning off the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps and the map display on this website can not then be used. You can view Google's Terms of Use at http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html.

Our website uses uniform fonts called Web Fonts by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into the browser cache in order to properly display text and fonts.

For this, your browser needs to connect to Google's servers. As a result, Google learns that our website has been accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online services, which constitutes a legitimate interest on the basis that Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR represents. If your browser does not support web fonts, a default font will be used by your computer. US-based Google LLC is certified under the US Privacy Shield, which ensures compliance with the level of data protection in the EU.
