Privacy Policy

Scope

This privacy policy is intended to inform users of this website in accordance with the Federal Data Protection Act and the Telemedia Act about the nature, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by the website operator [insert your contact details].

The website operator takes your data protection very seriously and treats your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the legal regulations.

Please be aware that data transmission over the Internet is inherently subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection against unauthorized access is not possible.

Access data

The website operator or site provider collects data about access to the site and stores it as "server log files." The following data is logged:

  • Visited website
  • Time of access
  • Amount of data sent in bytes
  • Source/reference from which you came to the page
  • Browser used
  • Operating system used
  • IP address used

The data collected is used solely for statistical analysis and to improve the website. However, the website operator reserves the right to subsequently review the server log files should there be concrete evidence of illegal use.

Cookies

This website uses cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your device. Your browser accesses these files. The use of cookies increases the user-friendliness and security of this website.

Common browsers offer the option to refuse cookies. Note: There is no guarantee that you will be able to access all functions of this website without restrictions if you make the appropriate settings.

Handling of personal data

The website operator collects, uses and discloses your personal data only if this is permitted by law or if you consent to the data collection.

Personal data is all information that can be used to identify you and that can be traced back to you – for example, your name, email address and telephone number.

User account

To place orders through this service, each customer must create a password-protected customer account. This contains an overview of completed orders and active order transactions. If you leave the online shop, you will be automatically logged out.

The operator assumes no liability for password misuse unless it was caused by the operator itself.

Ordering process

All data entered by customers during order processing is stored. This includes:

  • Name first Name
  • address
  • Payment data
  • E-mail address

Data that is absolutely necessary for delivery or order processing will be passed on to third-party service providers. As soon as retention of your data is no longer necessary or legally required, it will be deleted.

Credit check

To ensure your security and that of the operator, the operator conducts a credit check before concluding a contract. In addition to reviewing past transactions with the operator and any changes to your personal data, the operator also uses third-party service providers.

Your personal data (name, address, date of birth) will be sent to Muster GmbH, Musterstraße 1, 12345 Musterstadt, Germany, as part of the credit check.

Handling contact data

If you contact the website operator using the contact options provided, your information will be saved so that it can be used to process and respond to your inquiry. This data will not be shared with third parties without your consent.

Dealing with comments and posts

If you leave a post or comment on this website, your IP address will be saved. This is for the website operator's security: If your post violates the law, they want to be able to trace your identity.

Subscriptions

You have the option to subscribe to the entire website as well as to follow-up comments on your post. You will receive an email to confirm your email address. No further data will be collected beyond this. The stored data will not be shared with third parties. You can unsubscribe at any time.

Google Analytics

This website uses the "Google Analytics" service, provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA), to analyze website usage. This service uses "cookies," which are text files placed on your device. The information collected by the cookies is typically sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

IP anonymization is activated on this website. The IP address of users is shortened within the member states of the EU and the European Economic Area. This shortening eliminates the personal reference to your IP address. As part of the data processing agreement concluded between the website operators and Google Inc., Google uses the collected information to evaluate website usage and website activity and to provide services related to internet usage.

You have the option to prevent cookies from being stored on your device by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. There is no guarantee that you will be able to access all functions of this website without restrictions if your browser does not accept cookies.

Furthermore, you can use a browser plug-in to prevent the information collected by cookies (including your IP address) from being sent to and used by Google Inc. The following link will take you to the corresponding plug-in: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
Alternatively, you can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about you on this website by clicking this link. By clicking the link above, you will download an "opt-out cookie." Your browser must therefore generally allow cookies to be stored. If you delete your cookies regularly, you will need to click the link again each time you visit this website.

Use of social media plugins

This website uses Facebook Social Plugins, which are operated by Facebook Inc. (1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA). The integrations can be recognized by the Facebook logo or the terms "Like," "Like," and "Share" in Facebook's colors (blue and white). Information about all Facebook plugins can be found at the following link: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/

The plugin establishes a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook servers. The website operator has no influence on the nature and extent of the data transmitted by the plugin to the Facebook Inc. servers. Information about this can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/help/186325668085084
The plugin informs Facebook Inc. that you, as a user, have visited this website. Your IP address may be saved. If you are logged into your Facebook account while visiting this website, the information will be linked to your Facebook account.

If you use the functions of the plugin – for example by sharing or “liking” a post – the corresponding information will also be transmitted to Facebook Inc.

If you would like to prevent Facebook Inc. from linking this data to your Facebook account, please log out of Facebook before visiting this website.

This website also uses the Google Plus "+1" button. This button is operated by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). When you visit a page containing the "+1" button, a direct connection is established between your browser and the Google servers. The website operator therefore has no influence whatsoever on the nature and extent of the data that the plugin transmits to the Google Inc. servers. If you click the "+1" button while logged into Google+, you share the page's content on your public profile.

According to Google Inc., personal data is only collected when you click the button. Even for logged-in Google users, the IP address, among other things, is stored. If you would like to prevent Google Inc. from storing this data and linking it to your account, please log out before visiting this website.

Information about the “+1” button can be found here: https://developers.google.com/+/web/buttons-policy .

Newsletter subscription

The website operator offers a newsletter informing you about current events and offers. If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter, you must provide a valid email address.

User rights: information, correction and deletion

As a user, you will receive, upon request, free information about which personal data has been stored about you. Unless your request conflicts with a legal obligation to retain data (e.g., data retention), you have the right to correct inaccurate data and to block or delete your personal data.
