We process personal data of our users only insofar as this is necessary for the provision of a functional website and our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users is regularly only carried out with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases where obtaining prior consent is not possible for actual reasons and the processing of the data is required by legal regulations.

2. legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. b DSGVO serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. c DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make processing of personal data necessary, Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. d DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. f DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing.


3. data deletion and storage period

The personal data of the data subject shall be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

  • Backup of server data

This data is not merged with other data sources. The collection of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Our legitimate interest for processing this data is to present our website without errors and to optimise its functions.

The location of the website's server is geographically in Germany.

 

XIV. Geotargeting

We use the IP address and other information provided by the user (in particular postcode in the context of registration or ordering) for regional targeting (so-called "geotargeting").

Regional targeting is used, for example, to automatically show you regional offers or advertising that are often more relevant to users. The legal basis for the use of the IP address and, if applicable, other information provided by the user (in particular postcode) is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO, based on our interest in ensuring more precise targeting and thus providing offers and advertising with higher relevance for users.

In this context, part of the IP address and the additional information provided by the user (in particular postcode) are merely read out and not stored separately.

You can prevent geotargeting by using, for example, a VPN or proxy server that prevents precise localisation. In addition, depending on the browser used, you can also deactivate location localisation in the corresponding browser settings (insofar as this is supported by the respective browser).

We use geotargeting on our website for the following purposes:

  • Customer targeting
  • Advertising purposes
