The only exceptions to this are our service partners that we need to process the contractual relationship or service providers that we use as part of order processing.

SSL or TLS encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator.

- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
- If the processing of your personal data was/is carried out unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its erasure.

Newsletter
We only send newsletters, emails and other electronic notifications with advertising information (hereinafter "newsletter") with the consent of the recipient or with legal permission. If the contents of the newsletter are specifically described when registering for the newsletter, they are decisive for the user's consent.
We use HubSpot as part of our legitimate interest in economically efficient customer communication for our newsletter and mailing. If you order the newsletter offered on our website, we will inform you in detail about what we inform you about, which of your data is stored and what it is used for. We will not pass on your data to third parties and will only use it for sending the newsletter.
We will only send you the newsletter if you have given us your prior consent to do so. You will receive an e-mail from us with a link, further information and a request for your consent. If you click on this link, you agree to receive the newsletter and advertising from us.
The basis for the storage is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, which you give us when you register for the newsletter. You can revoke this consent at any time by sending us an informal message (e.g. via contact form or email or unsubscribe link in every email). This revocation does not affect the legality of the data processing carried out up to that point.
As we are legally obliged to record your consent as part of the so-called double opt-in, your order of the newsletter, the sending of our consent email and your consent by clicking on the link will be recorded and stored according to time and place as well as with your IP address.
The data used by HubSpot contains a "web beacon" that sends the opening of the newsletter and/or the clicking of a link contained therein by you to HubSpot.

Double opt-in and logging
Registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registering, you will receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no-one can register with other people's e-mail addresses.
Subscriptions to the newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process in accordance with legal requirements. This includes storing the time of registration and confirmation as well as the IP address. Changes to your stored data are also logged.
4. Analysis tools and advertising
Google Analytics
This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies". These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable your use of the website to be analyzed. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
The storage of Google Analytics cookies and the use of this analysis tool are based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the analysis of user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising.
IP anonymization
We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. This means that 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 transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
Browser plugin
You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.

Order processing
We have entered into a contract data processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.
Demographic characteristics with Google Analytics
This website uses the "demographic features" function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be created that contain statements about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google and from visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described in the section "Objection to data collection".
Use of Google Adwords conversion tracking
We use the online advertising program "Google AdWords" on our website and in this context conversion tracking (visit action evaluation). Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service of Google Inc (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). When you click on an advertisement placed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is stored on your computer. These cookies have a limited validity, do not contain any personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you have clicked on the ad and have been redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. It is therefore not possible for cookies to be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers.
The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics. This tells us the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified. The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR from the legitimate interest in targeted advertising and analyzing the impact and efficiency of this advertising. You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate technical settings in your browser software. 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 will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
You can also deactivate personalized advertising for you in the Google advertising settings. You can find instructions on how to do this at https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de. You can also deactivate the use of cookies by third-party providers by accessing the deactivation page of the Network Advertising Initiative athttps://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ and implementing the further information on opt-out mentioned there.

5. Plugins and tools
Integration of third-party services and content
Third-party content, such as content from Facebook, Instagram, Google or graphics from other websites, may be integrated into this online offering.

We endeavor to only use content whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. However, we have no influence on whether the third-party providers store the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. Insofar as we are aware of this, we will inform users of this.
