Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons no longer apply.

General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, insofar as special categories of data are processed in accordance with Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR. In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information in your end device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), the data processing is also carried out on the basis of Section 25 (1) of the GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the fulfilment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of

Information on the relevant legal bases in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Recipients of personal data

As part of our business activities, we work together with various external organisations. In some cases, it is also necessary to transfer personal data to these external organisations. We only pass on personal data to external bodies if this is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. passing on data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR or if another legal basis permits the transfer of data. When using processors, we only pass on our customers’ personal data on the basis of a valid contract for order processing. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

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

IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 ABS. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 1 GDPR). IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 2 GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

Information, rectification and erasure

You have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing and, if necessary, a right to correction or deletion of this data at any time within the framework of the applicable legal provisions. You can contact us at any time regarding this and other questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

You can contact us at any time to exercise this right. The right to restriction of processing exists in
the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to check 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 was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defence or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its erasure.
  • If you have lodged an objection in accordance with Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise 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.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to advertising e-mails

We hereby object to the use of contact data published as part of our obligation to provide a legal notice for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information material. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam e-mails.

Disclosure to third parties and access by third parties

Without the support of other companies, we would not be able to provide our services in the desired form. In order for us to be able to use the services of these companies, it is also necessary to pass on your personal data to a certain extent. Such a transfer takes place by name, insofar as this is necessary for the fulfilment of the contract requested by you. The legal basis for this disclosure is the necessity for the fulfilment of the contract within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b EU GDPR.
In addition, we may transfer your data to companies affiliated with us (see above). The legal basis for this data transfer is our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU GDPR in standardised data management within the Group.
Data is also passed on to selected service providers and only to the extent necessary for the provision of the service. Various third-party service providers are also explicitly mentioned in this privacy policy. These are, for example, IT service providers (such as providers of software solutions) or other consulting companies. Our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU GDPR in obtaining third-party services forms the legal basis for this data transfer.
In addition, your data may be passed on, in particular to authorities, legal advisors or debt collection companies, if we are legally obliged to do so or if this is necessary to protect our rights, in particular to enforce claims arising from the relationship with you. Data may also be disclosed if another company intends to acquire our company or parts thereof and such disclosure is necessary to carry out a due diligence review or to complete the transaction. The legal basis for this data transfer is our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU GDPR in the protection of our rights and fulfilment of our obligations or the sale of our company.

Transfer of personal data abroad

We are authorised to transfer your personal data to third parties abroad if this is necessary to carry out the data processing specified in this privacy policy. It goes without saying that the statutory provisions on the disclosure of personal data to third parties will be complied with. If the country in question does not have an adequate level of data protection, we ensure through contractual arrangements that your data is adequately protected by these companies.

Data security

We use suitable technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data stored by us against loss and unlawful processing, in particular unauthorised access by third parties. Our employees and the service companies commissioned by us are obliged by us to maintain confidentiality and to respect data protection. Furthermore, these persons are only granted access to personal data to the extent necessary to fulfil their tasks.
Our security measures are continuously adapted in line with technological developments. However, the transmission of information via the internet and electronic means of communication always harbours certain security risks and we cannot provide an absolute guarantee for the security of information transmitted in this way.

Data retention obligations

We only store personal data for as long as is necessary to carry out the processing described in this privacy policy within the scope of our legitimate interest. In the case of contract data, storage is prescribed by statutory retention obligations. Requirements that oblige us to retain data result from accounting and tax regulations. According to these regulations, business communication, concluded contracts and accounting documents must be stored for up to 10 years. If we no longer need this data to perform the services for you, the data will be blocked. This means that the data may then only be used if this is necessary for the fulfilment of retention obligations or for the defence and enforcement of our legal interests. The data will be deleted as soon as there is no longer an obligation to retain it and there is no longer a legitimate interest in retaining it.

Children

Our website is not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 16 unless we have the express consent of their parents. If we are notified or otherwise become aware that personal data relating to a child under the age of 16 has been improperly collected, we will take all reasonable steps to delete that personal data.

4. Data collection on this website

Cookies

Our website uses so-called „cookies“. Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your end device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). 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 they are automatically deleted by your web browser. Cookies may 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, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping basket function or the display of videos). Other cookies can be used to analyse user behaviour or for advertising purposes.
Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions that you have requested (e.g. for the shopping basket function) or to optimise the website (e.g. cookies to measure the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified.
The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimised 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 GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG); 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 restricted.

You can find out which cookies and services are used on this website in this privacy policy.

Our website uses the consent technology of Complianz to obtain your consent to the storage of certain cookies on your device or to the use of certain technologies and to document these in compliance with data protection regulations. The provider of this technology is Complianz B.V., Kalmarweg 14-5, 9723 JG Groningen, Netherlands (hereinafter „Complianz“).

When you enter our website, a Complianz cookie is stored in your browser, in which the consents you have given or the revocation of these consents are stored.

The data collected will be stored until you ask us to delete it or delete the Complianz cookie yourself or until the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected. Details on data processing by Complianz can be found at https://complianz.io/privacy-statement.

The Complianz cookie consent technology is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR.

Further information can be found at https://teca-print.com/de/cookie-richtlinie-eu/.

Contact form

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your enquiry is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your
consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Enquiry by email or telephone

If you contact us by email or telephone, your enquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, enquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your enquiry is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

5. Social media

We have included links to our profiles on the social networks of the following providers on our website:

    • LinkedIn Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland,
    • Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland and Meta Platforms Inc, 1601 S California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA,

respectively.

  • YouTube from YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA,
  • Instagram from Instagram Inc, 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA.

When you click on the social network icons, you are automatically redirected to our profile on the respective network. This establishes a direct connection between your browser and the server of the respective social network. As a result, the network receives the information that you have visited our website with your IP address and clicked on the link.
If you click on a link to a network while you are logged into your user account with the relevant network, the content of our website may be linked to your profile so that the network can assign your visit to our website directly to your account. If you want to prevent this, you should log out before clicking on the relevant links. A connection between your access to our website and your user account takes place in any case if you log in to the respective network after clicking on the link. The respective provider is responsible under data protection law for the associated data processing. Please therefore note the information on the network’s website.
The legal basis for any data processing attributed to us is our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU GDPR in the use and advertising of our social media profiles.

Social media plugins

You can use social plugins from the providers listed below on our website:

  • Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland and Meta Platforms Inc, 1601 S California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA, Privacy Policy
  • Twitter Inc, 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA, Privacy Policy
  • YouTube from YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA, Privacy Policy
  • Instagram by Instagram Inc, 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, Privacy Policy

We use social plugins to make it easier for you to share content from our website. The social plugins help us to increase the visibility of our content on social networks and thus contribute to better marketing.

The plugins are deactivated on our websites by default and therefore do not send any data to the social networks when you simply visit our website. To increase data protection, we have integrated the plugins in such a way that a connection to the networks’ servers is not automatically established. Your browser only establishes a direct connection to the servers of the respective social network when you activate the plugins and thus give your consent to data transmission and further processing by the social network providers.
The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from the social network to your browser, which integrates it into the website. As a result, the respective provider receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have an account with this social network or are not currently logged in to it. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a server of the provider (usually in the USA) and stored there. We have no influence on the scope of the data that the provider collects with the plugin, although from a data protection point of view we can be considered jointly responsible with the providers up to a certain extent.
If you are logged in to the social network, it can assign your visit to our website directly to your user account. If you interact with the plugins, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a server of the provider and stored there. The information (e.g. that you like a post from us) may also be published on the social network and may be displayed to other users of the social network. The provider of the social network may use this information for the purpose of displaying advertising and customising the respective offer. For this purpose, usage, interest and relationship profiles may be created, e.g. to analyse your use of our website with regard to the advertisements displayed to you on the social network, to inform other users about your activities on our website and to provide other services associated with the use of the social network. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the providers of the social networks as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy can be found directly in the data protection information of the respective provider.
If you do not want the social network provider to assign the data collected via our website to your user account, you must log out of the social network before activating the plugins. Your consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU GDPR forms the legal basis for the data processing described. You can revoke your consent at any time by declaring your revocation to the provider of the plugin in accordance with the information in its data protection information.

LinkedIn

Our website uses functions of the LinkedIn network. The provider is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

The LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland is responsible for the data processing of persons living in the designated countries of the GDPR (European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland): https://www.linkedin.com/legal/impressum

We would like to point out that you use the LinkedIn page offered here (https://www.linkedin.com/company/teca-print-ag/) and its functions on your own responsibility. This applies in particular to the use of the interactive functions (e.g. commenting, sharing, rating).

The information and publications on our LinkedIn page are a voluntary additional offer. Visiting our LinkedIn page is only possible for registered users of the LinkedIn platform. Alternatively, you can also access all the information offered on this page on our website at https://teca-print.com.

Data processed by LinkedIn:
Information on what data is processed by LinkedIn and for what purposes can be found in LinkedIn’s privacy policy: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy

When you use LinkedIn, your personal data is collected, transferred, stored, disclosed and used by the LinkedIn Corporation. LinkedIn transfers your data from the countries designated in the GDPR to the United States of America (USA) and back. The LinkedIn data centres for the storage of its members’ information are currently located in the USA and Singapore.

Teca-Print AG has no influence on the type and scope of the data processed by LinkedIn, the type of processing and use or the transfer of this data to third parties. It also has no effective control options in this respect.

In the same way, Teca-Print AG has no knowledge of the content of your data transmitted to LinkedIn and cannot provide any information about what data is stored about you through the use of the LinkedIn service.

In addition to your voluntarily entered data such as profile, login, contact and calendar data, LinkedIn also collects and processes e.g. location and device information as well as internet protocol addresses (IP addresses). Using cookies or similar technologies, LinkedIn can also identify you outside of its own services and across different devices.

LinkedIn collects and analyses data from the content, news and messages you publish and upload, as well as data from partners and affiliated companies, such as information provided by your workplace/educational institution, websites or third-party services.

You can find more information about this at: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy

LinkedIn claims to use your personal data to provide you with additional services (including advertisements), including through automated systems and inferences, and to customise them to make them more relevant and useful to you and others.
For this purpose, LinkedIn may also combine data internally via various services covered in its privacy policy (details at: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy#use).

In what way LinkedIn uses the data from visits to LinkedIn pages for its own purposes, to what extent activities on the LinkedIn page are assigned to individual users, how long LinkedIn stores this data and whether data from a visit to the LinkedIn page is passed on to third parties is not conclusively and clearly stated by LinkedIn and is not known to Teca-Print AG.

Furthermore, LinkedIn states that it may use the services of third parties (partner companies and external service providers) to support it in the provision of its services (e.g. maintenance, analysis, verification, payment, fraud detection, marketing and development). These third parties have access to your information to the extent reasonably necessary to perform the relevant tasks for LinkedIn and are obligated not to disclose or use your information for any other purpose. More information on this can be found at: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy#share

If third-party services are used by LinkedIn for the LinkedIn page of Teca-Print AG, Teca-Print AG has neither commissioned nor expressly consented to this nor supported it in any other way. Nor is the personal data obtained during the analysis made available to Teca-Print AG. Only certain, non-personal, aggregated information about the activity, such as the number of profile or link clicks on a specific posting or page, can be viewed by Teca-Print AG via its account. Furthermore, Teca-Print AG has no possibility to prevent or switch off the use of such services on its LinkedIn page.

Finally, LinkedIn also receives information when you view content, for example, even if you have not created an account (e.g. via a public LinkedIn profile). This so-called „log data” may include the IP address, browser type, operating system, information about the previously accessed website and the pages you accessed, your location, your mobile phone provider, the end device you are using (including device ID and application ID), the search terms you used and cookie information.

Through LinkedIn buttons or widgets integrated into websites and the use of cookies, LinkedIn is able to record your visits to these websites and assign them to your LinkedIn profile. This data can be used to offer you customised content or advertising. Accordingly, Teca-Print AG refrains from using such buttons and widgets on its own websites.

In view of the data protection issues, Teca-Print AG refrains from placing adverts on LinkedIn and thus from actively using the data collected by LinkedIn for the targeted control of its communication.

Even if the LinkedIn Corporation is a non-European provider, it is bound by the GDPR in the designated countries. This applies, for example, to your rights to information, blocking or deletion of data.

You have the option of restricting the processing and visibility of your data in your account navigation under „Settings and data protection“ under the various menu items listed there.

Also bear in mind that all the information you enter in your profile is publicly visible by default, i.e. members who log into the network and customers of LinkedIn services can view it. This also applies to your activities within the service, such as comments on posts, „Like“-marks or the „Follow“-function. Group memberships are also publicly visible.
When you share posts, the default setting is for this to be public. In the options, you can restrict the visibility of these posts to your contacts. You can also specify in the LinkedIn settings whether you want to share your contact list with all your contacts.

6. Newsletter

Newsletter data

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form takes place exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the email address and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the „unsubscribe“-link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the cancellation.

The data you provide us with for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter or after the purpose has ceased to apply. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter mailing list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Data that we have stored for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
To prevent misuse and to ensure that the owner of an email address has actually given their consent, we use the opt-in procedure for registration.
By registering, you consent to the processing of this data in order to receive news from us about our company, our offers and related products and services. Collecting the salutation and name allows us to personalise the content of the emails.
We use your data to send you emails until you withdraw your consent (opt-out). Revocation is possible at any time, in particular via the unsubscribe link in all our marketing emails.
Our marketing emails may contain a so-called web beacon or 1×1 pixel (tracking pixel) or similar technical aids. A web beacon is an invisible graphic that is linked to the user ID of the respective newsletter subscriber. For each marketing email sent, we receive information about which addresses have not yet received the email, to which addresses it was sent and which addresses failed to receive it. We also see which addresses have opened the email, for how long and which links they have clicked on. Finally, we also receive information about which addresses have unsubscribed. We use this data for statistical purposes and to optimise the advertising emails in terms of frequency, timing, structure and content of the emails. This enables us to better tailor the information and offers in our emails to the individual interests of the recipients.
The web beacon is deleted when you delete the email. To prevent the use of the web beacon in our marketing emails, please set the parameters of your email programme so that HTML is not displayed in messages, if this is not already the case by default. You can find information on how to configure this setting in the help sections of your email software, e.g. here for Microsoft Outlook.
By subscribing to the newsletter, you also consent to the statistical analysis of user behaviour for the purpose of optimising and adapting the newsletter. This consent constitutes our legal basis for the processing of data within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU GDPR.

Sending newsletters to existing customers

If you order goods or services from us and provide us with your email address, this email address may subsequently be used by us to send newsletters, provided we inform you of this in advance. In such a case, only direct advertising for our own similar goods or services will be sent via the newsletter. You can cancel the sending of this newsletter at any time. There is a corresponding link in every newsletter for this purpose. In this case, the legal basis for sending the newsletter is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR in conjunction with Section 7 para. 3 UWG.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, we may store your email address in a blacklist to prevent future mailings to you. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

 

7. Plugins and tools

YouTube with extended data protection

This website embeds videos from YouTube. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited („Google“), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in extended data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode means that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, the transfer of data to YouTube partners is not necessarily excluded by the extended data protection mode. This means that YouTube establishes a connection to the Google Marketing Network regardless of whether you watch a video.

As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged in to your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behaviour directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

In addition, YouTube can store various cookies on your end device after starting a video or use comparable recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting). In this way, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent fraud attempts.

Further data processing operations may be triggered after the start of a YouTube video, over which we have no influence.

The use of YouTube is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

For more information about data protection at YouTube, please see their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

The company is certified according to the „EU-US Data Privacy Framework“ (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA that is intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the USA. Every company certified under the DPF undertakes to comply with these data protection standards.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to analyse website usage. The resulting data is used to optimise our website and advertising measures.

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

The following data is recorded during your visit to the website:

  • Pages viewed
  • Orders including sales and products ordered
  • The achievement of “website goals” (e.g. contact enquiries and newsletter registrations)
  • Your behaviour on the pages (e.g. length of stay, clicks, scrolling behaviour)
  • Your approximate location (country and city)
  • Your IP address (in abbreviated form, so that no clear assignment is possible)
  • Technical information such as browser, internet provider, end device and screen resolution
  • Source of origin of your visit (i.e. which website or advertising medium you used to reach us)

Personal data such as name, address or contact details are never transmitted to Google Analytics.

This data is transferred to Google servers in the USA. We would like to point out that the same level of data protection 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 recognised on future visits to the website.

The recorded data is stored together with the randomly generated user ID, which makes it possible to analyse 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 to the collection of data, you can prevent this by installing the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics once or by rejecting cookies via our cookie settings dialogue.

Google Fonts (local hosting)

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

Google Maps

This website uses the map service Google Maps. The provider is Google Ireland Limited („Google“), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

In order to use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to save your IP address. This information is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this website has no influence on this data transfer. If Google Maps is activated, Google may use Google Fonts for the purpose of standardising the display of fonts. When you access Google Maps, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly.

The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers and to make it easy to find the places we have indicated on the website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG.

Google reCAPTCHA

We use „Google reCAPTCHA“ (hereinafter „reCAPTCHA“) on this website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited („Google“), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to check whether the data input on this website (e.g. in a contact form) is made by a human or by an automated programme. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyses the behaviour of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, time spent on the website by the website visitor or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.

The reCAPTCHA analyses run completely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that an analysis is taking place.

The data is stored and analysed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its website from abusive automated spying and SPAM. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG.

Google Tag Manager

On our website we use the Google Tag Manager from Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland) or Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) (“Google”). Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows marketers to manage website tags via an interface. The Tag Manager tool is a cookie-free domain and does not collect any personal data. The tool triggers other tags, which in turn collect personal data. According to Google, Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If deactivation has been carried out at domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags that are implemented with Google Tag Manager. You can prevent the setting of tags at any time.
The legal basis for processing the data for this purpose is our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU GDPR.

h. DURATION OF DATA STORAGE

We store your personal data for as long as is necessary to make a decision about your application.

Beyond this, we only store your personal data if this is required by law or in the specific case for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims for the duration of a legal dispute.

In the event that you have consented to your personal data being stored for a longer period, we will store it in accordance with your declaration of consent.
