Data that is provided actively by you as user of the website or services:
1. As far as the website or an action via our website requires a registration, the basic data for the registration, determined by the respective registration form are transmitted, processed and stored and only collected, stored and used for the use of the website and its services. In the context of such registration we are also entitled to inform you about changes, additions or new versions of the website, changes of our terms and conditions as well as these privacy statement and additional information provided via the website as well as e.g. about new products.
2. If you register for the subscription of a newsletter, this registration can take place under indication of the e-mail address without further data. Additional information will not be requested. For residents of the EU, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure for sending the newsletter. As part of this process, we first send the user an e-mail to the specified e-mail address. However, the user will not receive a newsletter by e-mail until the user clicks on the link received in the e-mail and has expressly confirmed to us that we should activate the newsletter service. After your confirmation we will save your e-mail address only for the purpose of sending you the newsletter. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 S. 1 lit. a) GDPR. We would like to point out that we evaluate your user behaviour when sending the newsletter. For this analysis, the e-mails sent contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which represent single-pixel image files stored on our website. For evaluation purposes, we link the above data and web beacons to your e-mail address and an individual ID. You can object to this tracking at any time by clicking on the separate link provided in each e-mail or by informing us by another contact method. The information is stored for as long as you have subscribed to the newsletter. After a cancellation we store the data purely statistically and anonymously. If at any time you no longer wish to receive newsletters from us, you can object to the newsletter subscription at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates. A message in text form to the contact data specified in the imprint is sufficient for this. Of course you will also find an unsubscribe link in every newsletter.
3. The data created by users within the scope of using the website via a login or a newsletter registration are stored on servers operated in our name. However, the server operators are subject to the same data protection standards as we are and are operated in the European Union and the US.
4. When you register for our dealer platform, we will provide you with the access data and save the information necessary to provide you with the information stored on this platform. You can also register as a reseller directly via the link on our website. In this case, the data that are required for the provision of information and services on this re-seller platform are determined by the registration form. We only store this data for the purpose of providing you as a reseller with information and services. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 S. 1 lit b) GDPR.
Data that is provided actively by you via Contact forms:
1. On our website you have the option of sending us requests using “Contact” forms or other variations of communication channels. Here you can ask questions about our company, our products or our services. In order to enable you to make targeted contact with us, we have provided various ways of making contact.

This includes your name, e-mail address and other information such as the subject of your inquiry and your message text. In addition to the mandatory fields, you can also enter additional information. Optionally, address and/or telephone number can be specified. This information enables us to respond comprehensively to your request. The communication of the data you provide in this context is expressly on a voluntary basis.
3. The personal data transmitted to us from your above-mentioned details as well as the time of contacting us will only be used for the purpose for which you made them available to us when contacting us – in particular the processing of your inquiry. The information you provide will only be used to process your request. The data will not be used for other purposes or passed on to third parties without your express consent. Excluded from this – insofar as it is necessary to fulfil your request – are partner companies. These could be, for example: Our suppliers, payment and logistics partners and our trading partners. If there are no legal storage obligations, your personal data will be deleted after the request has been processed.
4. The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 S. 1 f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is that we need your data in order to process or respond to your communication.

Data collected in the context of the use of the website by analysis tools (WebAnalytics) or third party services used by us with our website:
1. This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), which enables an analysis of your use of our website. By default, when you visit the website, Google Analytics 4 does not use cookies unless you expressly consent to cookies. Instead, information about your usage behavior is collected and processed through so-called pings (small data packets sent to the host of a device). The scope of this information also includes your IP address, which is however shortened by Google by removing the last digits to exclude direct personal identification. The information is transferred to Google servers and processed there. This may also include transmissions to Google LLC based in the USA. Google uses the collected information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities for us, and to provide other services related to website usage and internet usage. The shortened IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. Data collected through the use of Google Analytics 4 is stored for a period of two months and then deleted. All processing described above, including data transmission through "pings" and the possible setting of Google Analytics cookies, only occurs if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Without your consent, Google Analytics 4 will not be used during your visit to the site. You may revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right of revocation, please deactivate this service via the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website. We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google that ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
  Further legal information about Google Analytics 4 can be found at https://business.safety.google/intl/de/privacy/, https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de and at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
  Demographic Characteristics
  Google Analytics 4 uses the special feature "demographic characteristics" and can create statistics that provide information about the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This is done by analyzing advertising and information from third-party providers. This allows target groups for marketing activities to be identified. However, the collected data cannot be assigned to a specific person and is deleted after being stored for a period of two months.
  Google Signals
  As an extension to Google Analytics 4, Google Signals can be used on this website to create cross-device reports. If you have enabled personalized ads and linked your devices to your Google account, Google may, subject to your consent to use Google Analytics in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, analyze your usage behavior across devices and create database models, including cross-device conversions. We do not receive any personal data from Google, only statistics. If you wish to stop cross-device analysis, you can deactivate the "Personalized Advertising" function in your Google account settings. To do so, follow the instructions on this page: https://support.google.com/My-Ad-Center-Help/answer/12155764?hl=de
  More information about Google Signals can be found at the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=de
  UserIDs
  As an extension to Google Analytics 4, the "UserIDs" function can be used on this website. If you have consented to the use of Google Analytics 4 in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, have set up an account on this website, and log in to this account on different devices, your activities, including conversions, can be analyzed across devices. For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European data protection level based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission.
2. We currently use the following social media links: Facebook, Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), Pinterest. We only use links to the respective social media services or the so-called two-click solution. This means that when you visit our site, no personal data is initially passed on to the providers of the social media services. You can identify the provider of the social media service by the marking on the box above its initials or the logo. We give you the option of communicating directly with the provider of the social media service using the button. Only if you click on the marked field and thereby activate it will the social media service receive the information that you have accessed the corresponding website of our online offer. In the case of Facebook, according to Facebook, the IP address in Germany is anonymized immediately after collection. By activating the plug-in, your personal data is therefore transmitted to the respective plug-in provider and stored there (in the case of US providers in the USA). Since the plug-in provider collects data using cookies in particular, we recommend that you delete all cookies via the security settings of your browser before you click on the button that has not yet been activated. We have no influence on the collected data and data processing procedures, nor are we aware of the full extent of the data collection, the purposes of the processing, the storage periods. We also have no information on the deletion of the data collected by the plug-in provider. The plug-in provider stores the data collected about you as usage profiles and uses them for advertising, market research and/or needs-based design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (also for users who are not logged in) to display needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact the respective plug-in provider to exercise this right. With the plug-ins we offer you the opportunity to interact with social networks and other users, so that we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user.
  The legal basis for the processing of your data in connection with the use of our company website is Art. 6 para. 1 S.1 lit f) GDPR if necessary, for communication and an exchange of information.
  The data is passed on regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in with the plug-in provider, your data collected with us will be directly assigned to your existing account with the plug-in provider. If you click the activated button and, for example, link the page, the plug-in provider also stores this information in your user account and shares it publicly with your contacts. We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, especially before activating the button, as this way you can avoid being assigned to your profile with the plug-in provider.
  Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by the plug-in provider can be found in the data protection declarations of these providers notified below. They will also provide you with further information about your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy:
