DATA TRANSFER TO THE USA AND OTHER THIRD COUNTRIES

 

We use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that may not have data protection standards equivalent to those of the EU. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. Please note that these countries may not guarantee a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. For example, US companies may be required to disclose personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to challenge this in court. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) may process, analyze, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no control over these processing activities.

 

 

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 website operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

 

 

COOKIES

 

Our website uses so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packets that do not harm your device. They are either temporarily stored for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

 

Cookies can originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services). Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.

 

Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you desire (e.g., the shopping cart function), or to optimize the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audiences) (necessary cookies) are stored based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent for the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing will be based exclusively on this consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and § 25(1) of the TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time.

 

You can configure your browser to notify you about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, to accept cookies for certain cases or generally exclude them, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Google Maps

 

This website utilizes an online mapping service provided by the following provider: Google Maps (API) by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”). Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (land) maps to visually represent geographic information. By using this service, our location will be shown to you and any directions facilitated.

When accessing the subpages into which the Google Maps map is integrated, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers and stored there. This may also involve transmission to servers of Google LLC. in the United States. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether a user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not wish to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. The collection, storage, and evaluation are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on Google’s legitimate interest in displaying personalized advertising, market research, and/or the needs-based design of Google websites. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact Google to exercise this right. If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google when using Google Maps, you also have the option to completely deactivate the Google Maps web service by disabling the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps and therefore the map display on this website cannot be used. Where legally required, we have obtained your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR for the processing of your data as described above. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please follow the above-described option to object. For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection based on a decision on adequacy by the European Commission.

AUDIO AND VIDEO CONFERENCES – MICROSOFT TEAMS

 

For communication with our customers, among other things, we use online conference tools. When you communicate with us via video or audio conference via the Internet, your personal data is collected and processed by us and the provider of the respective conference tool.

 

The conference tools collect all data that you provide/use to use the tools (email address and/or your telephone number). Furthermore, the conference tools process the duration of the conference, start and end times of participation in the conference, number of participants, and other “contextual information” related to the communication process (metadata).

 

Furthermore, the provider of the tool processes all technical data necessary for the online communication process. This includes, in particular, IP addresses, MAC addresses, device IDs, device type, operating system type and version, client version, camera type, microphone or speaker, and the type of connection.

 

If content is exchanged, uploaded, or otherwise provided within the tool, it is also stored on the servers of the tool providers. Such content includes, in particular, cloud recordings, chat/instant messages, voicemails, uploaded photos and videos, files, whiteboards, and other information shared during the use of the service.

 

Please note that we do not have full control over the data processing operations of the tools used. Our capabilities largely depend on the corporate policies of the respective providers.
