Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 DSGVO).

E OR F DSGVO, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS.

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. For this purpose, you can contact us at any time. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If the processing of your personal data happened/is happening unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.

4. data collection on this website

Cookies

Our Internet pages use so-called „cookies“. Cookies are small text files and do not cause any damage to your terminal device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your terminal device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or until they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

In some cases, cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your terminal device when you enter our site (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain services of the third-party company (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies are used to evaluate user behavior or display advertising.

Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions that you have requested (e.g. for the shopping cart function) or to optimize the website (e.g. cookies to measure the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO, 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 to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 para. 1TTDSG); the consent can be revoked at any time.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Insofar as cookies are used by third-party companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you separately about this within the scope of this data protection declaration and, if necessary, request your consent.

5. plugins and tools

Google Web Fonts (local hosting)

This site uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. The Google Fonts are installed locally. There is no connection to Google servers.

Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

Calendly appointment booking form

On our website, we have embedded an appointment booking form operated by Calendly LLC, 271 17th St NW, Ste 1000, Atlanta, Georgia, 30363, United States („Calendly“).

When you visit one of our pages equipped with an appointment booking form, a connection to Calendly’s servers is established. In the process, which of our pages you have visited is transmitted. Calendly also receives your IP address. If you enter your data such as name, e-mail address and telephone number in one of the appointment booking forms, this data is also transmitted to Calendly. Calendly processes the personal data on our behalf. You can access the order processing contract agreed between us and Calendly under the following link: https://calendly.com/pages/dpa. You can access a German translation of this contract using Google Translate here: https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=&sl=auto&tl=de&u=https%3A%2F%2Fcalendly.com%2Fpages%2Fdpa. Under this contract, Calendly has been committed to measures to ensure the confidentiality of the data processed.

For more information on how Calendly processes your personal data, please visit: https://calendly.com/de/pages/privacy. You can access a German translation using Google Translate here: https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=&sl=auto&tl=de&u=https%3A%2F%2Fcalendly.com%2Fde%2Fpages%2Fprivacy.

Calendly calls up the Google Analytics tracker via an iFrame in which the appointment booking form is called up. This is an own tracking by Calendly, on which we have no influence and access. You can prevent tracking by Google Analytics by using the deactivation tools that Google offers for some Internet browsers. You can also prevent the collection and processing of data generated by Google Analytics and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Calendly is a company based in the USA. With the Schrems II decision of the European Court of Justice (C-311/18), the previously existing adequacy decision for data transfers to the USA, the so-called Privacy Shield agreement, was declared invalid. The European Court of Justice found that the USA does not ensure an adequate level of data protection. Above all, there is a risk that personal data is subject to access by U.S. authorities for control and monitoring purposes and that no effective legal remedies are available. The transfer to as well as the processing and/or storage of personal data by Calendly is therefore based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission pursuant to Art.46 para. 2 lit. c) DSGVO. You can find these provisions in the order processing agreement we have concluded with Calendly: https://calendly.com/pages/dpa. You can obtain a German translation of this agreement using Google Translate here: https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=&sl=auto&tl=de&u=https%3A%2F%2Fcalendly.com%2Fpages%2Fdpa. Where necessary, additional technical and organizational measures will be taken if an adequate level of data protection cannot otherwise be guaranteed.

The legal basis for the processing of your personal data is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) a) DSGVO.

Use of Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to analyze website usage. The data obtained from this is used to optimize our website as well as advertising measures.

Google Analytics is provided to us by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). Google processes website usage data on our behalf and is contractually committed to measures to ensure the security and confidentiality of the processed data.

During your website visit, the following data is recorded, among others:

Pages viewed

Orders including sales and products ordered

The achievement of „website goals“ (for example, contact requests and newsletter sign-ups)

Your behavior on the pages (for example, dwell time, clicks, scrolling behavior)

Your approximate location (country and city)

Your IP address (in shortened form, so that no clear assignment is possible)

Technical information such as browser, Internet provider, terminal device and screen resolution

Source of origin of your visit (i.e. via which website or advertising material you came to us)

No personal data such as name, address or contact details are ever transferred to Google Analytics.

This data is transferred to Google servers in the USA. We would like to point out that the same level of protection under data protection law cannot be guaranteed in the USA as within the EU.

Google Analytics stores cookies in your web browser for a period of two years since your last visit. These cookies contain a randomly generated user ID with which you can be recognized during future website visits.

The recorded data is stored together with the randomly generated user ID, which enables the evaluation of pseudonymous user profiles. This user-related data is automatically deleted after 14 months. Other data remains stored in aggregated form indefinitely.

If you do not agree with the collection, you can prevent it with the one-time installation of the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics or by rejecting cookies via our cookie settings dialog.
