General Information
Pursuant to our statutory obligations, we would like to inform you about the collection and use of your personal data.
When you use our website, personal data about you will be collected. This may happen by you entering the data yourself, for example your e-mail address. But our system also collects your data automatically, for example whenever you visit our website. This happens irrespective of the device or the software that you use to visit our website.
All data that you enter in our app is provided voluntarily; there are no disadvantages to you if you do not provide data. But without certain data, we are unable to provide services or to conclude contracts. Whenever such information is necessary, we will point it out to you.
On this website, the user’s personal data is only collected within the framework of the existing data-protection law, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The legal terms used in the text are defined in Art. 4 of the GDPR.
The GDPR allows data processing in three cases in particular:
in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 (a) and 7 GDPR, when you have consented to us processing your data; in this Privacy Policy and in the cases of consent pursuant to Art. 4 no. 11 GDPR, we will inform you in detail and each time for what purposes and under what circumstances your data will be processed by us;
in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR, when processing your personal data is necessary for negotiating, concluding or performing a contract;
in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR, if the balancing of interests leads to the conclusion that the processing is necessary to protect our legitimate interests; this means in particular our interests to analyse, optimise and secure the offers on our website – meaning primarily the analysis of user behaviour, setting up profiles for advertisement purposes and storage of access data as well as the use of third-party providers.
Inventory Data, Usage Data
Inventory Data
We collect inventory data (for example name, address and e-mail address, possibly services used) insofar as they are required for establishing, defining or amending a contract between us and the user.
Usage Data
We also collect usage data (for example visits to the website, interest in products) to allow the user to use the services on our website and to invoice them.
We will only combine usage data if and insofar as it is necessary for billing purposes. Otherwise, we will only put together usage data pseudonymously and only insofar as you have not objected. You may send this objection to the address indicated in the “Legal Notice” section or the responsible authority indicated in this Privacy Policy at any time.
The legal basis for this data processing are our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR in analysing the website and your use, possibly also the statutory permission to store data as part of the negotiation of a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR.
Furthermore, our provider stores information, the so-called server log files, each time the website is used; this is information which is automatically transferred by your browser. In detail, this data consists of:
your IP address
type and version of your browser
host name
time of visit
the page from which you came to our page
name of the page opened
exact time of usage as well as
the amount of data transferred
This data will only be used for statistical purposes and do not allow us to identify you as a user.
Advertisements
Before sending you advertisements, we will ask for your explicit consent pursuant to Art. 4 no. 11 GDPR, except in cases of advertisements for similar products to the one you already acquired. This will happen in particular when you grant us consent to mail our newsletter or when you fill out a contact form.
You may withdraw your consent at any time in accordance with the subsequent section “Consent”.
INSOFAR AS WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR DIRECT MARKETING, YOU MAY ALSO OBJECT TO THE USE OF YOUR DATA FOR THAT PURPOSE AT ANY TIME. THIS MAY BE DONE THROUGH ANY OF OUR MEANS OF CONTACT, PARTICULARLY BY E-MAIL TO THE E-MAIL ADDRESS LISTED IN THE “LEGAL NOTICE” SECTION WITHOUT ANY FORMAL REQUIREMENTS. WE WILL THEN NO LONGER USE YOUR DATA FOR DIRECT MARKETING.
Consent
Whenever we ask you for your consent for the processing of your data, we will inform you in clear language and in an easily accessible way about the cases for which you will be granting your consent. Any consent that we ask you for is voluntary. Any advantage that you wish to gain by granting consent is also available without consent; simply ask us.
Regarding any consent, you have the right to revoke any consent given to us for the processing of your personal data at any time. You just need to contact us without any particular formal requirement, for example through our contact form, an e-mail to the e-mail address indicated in the “Legal Notice” section or a link to unsubscribe (if offered by us). Your withdrawal has no effect on the legality of the data processing carried out up to that point.
Storage Period
Your data will generally only remain stored for as long as the purpose of the relevant data processing requires it. Storage beyond that is mainly possible when it is still necessary for us to pursue our rights or for our other legitimate interests or if we are compelled by law to keep your data stored (for example based on tax-law requirements to maintain files, which is generally 6 years, but may last up to 10 years).
Cookies
1. Option
Cookie Notice
Based on our legitimate interest in a technologically perfect online offering and its design and optimisation in an economically efficient manner pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR, our website uses cookies, allowing our offer to be used better, more effectively and more securely.

Transfer of data
Transfer to Third Parties
We dislike spam as much as you do. We will therefore not transfer your data to third parties, unless permitted by law.
Transfer of customer data may either
be required for the performance of a contract and in that case be permitted according to Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR, or
be permitted based on our legitimate interest in an effective service structure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR, or
covered by your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (a) GDPR, or
become necessary if we will be legitimately asked by a government or an agency to hand over your data pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (c) GDPR.
If your data are transferred to third parties, this is mentioned in this privacy policy.
Transfer to other countries, particularly USA
Our website uses external providers located outside of the EU for different features. In particular, the use of cookies, active Java scripts and other technology can lead to processing and storage of your data outside of the EU. But we will not transfer your data to a third country, unless the EU Commission has determined that there is a similar level of data protection as in the EU or unless you have provided us with your informed consent or we have agreed on the standard contractual clauses for the protection of your data with the provider. Regarding the USA, the Privacy Shield Agreement – see https://www.privacyshield.gov/welcome – has re-established sufficient data protection under certain conditions.
Users‘ Rights
Information
You may request us anytime to provide information about the personal data stored about you free of charge. To avoid misuse, this will require personal identification.
Deletion, Correction, Limitation
You may at any time demand from us that we correct (or complete) incorrect data as well as a limitation of the processing of data or deletion of your data. This applies in particular if the reason for processing the data is no longer valid, if a required consent has been revoked and there is no other legal basis or if our data processing is unlawful. We will then correct, block or even delete your personal data without delay as far as permitted by law.
Objection
The right to object to advertisement is governed by our text regarding consent:
Regarding any consent, you have the right to revoke any consent given to us for the processing of your personal data at any time. You just need to contact us without any particular formal requirement, for example through our contact form, an e-mail to the e-mail address indicated in the “Legal Notice” section or a link to unsubscribe (if offered by us). Your withdrawal has no effect on the legality of the data processing carried out up to that point.
Data Transfer
You may request us to transfer the data stored about you in machine-readable form.
Complaint
If you feel that our data processing has violated any of your rights, you may file a complaint with the competent regulatory agency (here you find a list of the agencies).
Changes to the Privacy Policy
If and when factual or legal reasons will compel us to amend the Privacy Policy, we will update this page accordingly. This will not change the consent provided by the user.
Data Entry
Encryption of Data Entry
When you enter data on our website, whether in a contact form, during the registration process, when you log in or for payment purposes, the website, where you enter the data, is encrypted. Thus, third parties can not read what you enter. You will recognise the encryption by the lock symbol in your browser and by the URL beginning with “https“ instead of “http“.
------

Contact Forms
General Contact Form
When you fill out a contact form or when you send us an e-mail or another electronic message, your information will be stored for the processing of the request, for possible follow-up questions or for other related questions and will only be used to follow up with the request.
Your data will be transferred in an encrypted manner, preventing third parties from reading your data while it is being entered.
Basis for this storage is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (a) GDPR, which you grant us by filling in the contact form or by your other requests. You may revoke this consent at any time, you just need to contact us without any particular formal requirement (for example in the contact form or by e-mail). This withdrawal has no effect on the legality of the data processing that has occurred up to that point.
Your data remains stored for as long as the processing of the request requires, in particular as long as the storage is still necessary to perform the contract, to pursue our rights or for our other legitimate interests or we are compelled by law to keep your data stored (for example based on tax-law requirements to maintain files).
Shop: Request for an offer
On our shop page, you find a contact form, through which you may request a specific offer for our services. We will ask for your e-mail address, your company name and the scope of your business, so we can prepare an offer that will serve your specific interests.
Your data will be entered in an encrypted manner, so that third parties cannot read your data while being entered.
The legal basis for this storage is our legitimate interest in communication with interested users in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR and in case of contractual requests also the storage of contractual data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR.
These data remain saved until you will terminate your access by sending an e-mail to the e-mail address listed in the „Legale Notice“ section. After that, they will remain stored in connection with the necessary performance of the contract (see the section on user/contract data).

Social Media Plugins
General Information
Social media plugins normally lead to the IP address of each visitor to a page being collected by theses services immediately and the users having their subsequent browsing history recorded. This may even happen if you do not click on the button.
To prevent this, we use the Shariff method. Thus, our social media buttons only establish the direct contact between the social network and you only once you click on the respective share button. If you are already registered with a social network, Facebook and Google+ do not require a new window for this. Twitter will show a pop-up window, in which you can still edit the text of the tweet.
Thus, you can publish our content in social networks without them being able to put together complete browsing profiles. The Shariff method is already being used by many websites in order to protect their users.
But, at the latest, when you follow the link to the social media site, your data will be broadcasted to that site. The social media site will normally store a cookie in your browser and to your account information there, especially, if you are logged into your social media account on the site. The social media site can analyse your use of the platform and your browsing habits and will use these for targeting advertisements based on your interests. That can lead to ads being shown to you when browsing in- and outside of the social media site. Please inform yourself about the use of your data on these sites and use them only, when you agree to that use of your data, that happens on that social media site, in particular, when you are not using that social media site for the first time. We have added links to all the privacy policies of the social media site for your information.

The social media site can analyse your use of the platform and your browsing habits and will use these for targeting advertisements based on your interests. That can lead to ads being shown to you when browsing in- and outside of the social media site.

California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA.
The technology applied by the Facebook pixel allows us to measure the reach and the sales made (so-called conversions) based on our ads on Facebook and thus to improve our advertising strategy. It also allows us to target users, who have been to our website previously, with ads on Facebook. We can also use the data to produce so-called custom audiences. This means that Facebook analyses data of users of our website in order to determine persons with similar interests.
The Facebook pixel places a cookie on your computer, which Facebook uses to recognise that you have visited our website if you are logged into Facebook or when you log in again. The data is anonymised for us, we cannot attribute it to you. The data will be forwarded to the USA and stored by Facebook. Facebook has subjected itself to the Privacy Shield framework.
Facebook can connect to your respective user profile. Facebook may use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Facebook privacy policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/).
Facebook offers you different preferences regarding the remarketing feature and the custom audiences, which you can open here if you are logged into Facebook. If you don’t have a Facebook account, you can also change the preferences through the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance and prevent being targeted with advertisements.

CMS System Wix
Based on our legitimate interest in a technologically perfect online offering and its design and optimisation in an economically efficient manner pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR, we have established this website with the Wix CMS system provided by Wix.com Ltd., Namal 40, 6350671 Tel Aviv, Israel (“Wix.com”). Our website is also hosted on that company’s servers.
Like any other hosting service, Wix.com will collect user data in that process. These are identifiable and non-identifiable data collected when you access our website. These will either be provided to Wix.com or automatically collected when using the services of Wix.com (“non-personal data”). With such non-personal data, it is impossible for Wix.com to determine from whom the data originates. Non-personal data is technological information and usage information, e.g. visitors‘ and service users‘ browsing and clickstream behaviour, heat maps of sessions and scrolling as well as non-identifiable data about the device used, operating system, browser, screen resolution, language and keyboard preferences, internet provider, referral and exit pages, date/time stamp etc.
As a hosting service, Wix.com also collects data which can identify a person with reasonable effort (“personal data“). Basically, this personal data is all data that you enter when using the website. This may include contact data (for example e-mail address or phone number), invoice details (name, billing address, payment method and bank details), data about a browser or user session (IP address, geographical location and/or unique identifier of the device), data about connected third-party accounts (for example e-mail address or user name for a connected PayPal, Google or Facebook account), scanned identity documents provided to us (for example ID card, driving license, passport or official documents about company registration), and any other personal data. For your protection, Wix.com will treat any non-personal data, which will be connected with personal data (for example to improve the services of Wix.com), as personal data.
Wix.com Ltd. is registered in Israel, which is viewed by the European Commission as a country providing adequate protection of the personal data of EU member states‘ citizens.
Affiliated companies and service providers of Wix.com, which store or process your personal data on behalf of Wix.com, have committed themselves to protect this data in accordance with industry standards and irrespective of possibly lower requirements under their legal system. We, too, have a contractual agreement with Wix.com, according to which Wix.com will only process the data on our behalf.
Wix.com may also process your data in the USA, but is a certified participant of the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss-US Privacy Shield Framework. Wix.com has committed itself to handle all personal data received from member states of the European Union (EU) or from Switzerland in accordance with the Privacy Shield Framework pursuant to the applicable principles therein. Further information about the Privacy Shield Framework can be found on the Privacy Shield list of the US Commerce Department at https://www.privacyshield.gov/welcome.
Wix.com will also implement physical, electronic and procedural security measures to protect the personal data. Among other things, Wix.com offers HTTPS-secure access to our website; the transmission of confidential data is protected by a connection encrypted according to the industry standard SSL/TLS, and Wix.com regularly updates its PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards) certification. Wix.com also regularly checks its systems for potential vulnerabilities and attacks and is constantly looking for new procedures and third-party services to further improve the security of its services and the protection of visitors‘ and users‘ data.
