4. Data Collection on Our Website

   • Cookies The internet pages partly use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies help make our offer more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser. Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain in your device’s memory until you delete them. These cookies make it possible to recognize your browser when you next visit the site. You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept or reject a cookie. Alternatively, your browser can be configured to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or to always reject them, or to automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website. Cookies which are necessary to allow electronic communications or to provide certain functions you wish to use (such as the shopping cart) are stored pursuant to Art. 6 paragraph 1, letter f of DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies to ensure an optimized service provided free of technical errors. If other cookies (such as those used to analyze your surfing behavior) are also stored, they will be treated separately in this privacy policy.
   • Server Log Files The website provider automatically collects and stores information that your browser automatically transmits to us in “server log files”. These are:
     • Browser type and browser version
     • Operating system used
     • Referrer URL
     • Host name of the accessing computer
     • Time of the server request
     • IP address These data will not be combined with data from other sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or for measures preliminary to a contract.
   • Contact Form Should you send us questions via the contact form, we will collect the data entered on the form, including the contact details you provide, to answer your question and any follow-up questions. We do not share this information without your permission. We will, therefore, process any data you enter onto the contact form only with your consent per Art. 6 (1)(a) DSGVO. You can revoke your consent at any time. An informal email making this request is sufficient. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed. We will retain the data you provide on the contact form until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer pertains (e.g. after fulfilling your request). Any mandatory statutory provisions, especially those regarding mandatory data retention periods, remain unaffected by this provision.
   • Processing of Data (Customer and Contract Data) We collect, process, and use personal data only insofar as it is necessary to establish, contentually design, or change legal relationships (data inventory). These actions are taken on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(b) DSGVO, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or for measures preliminary to a contract. We collect, process, and use your personal data when accessing our website (usage data) only to the extent required to enable you to access our service or to bill you for the same. The customer data collected will be deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship. Legal retention periods remain unaffected.
   • Data Transfer Upon Conclusion of Contract for Services and Digital Content We only transfer personal data to third parties when it is necessary in the context of the contract, for example, to the bank tasked with processing payments. A further transmission of the data does not take place or only if you have expressly consented to the transmission. Your data will not be transmitted to third parties without explicit consent, such as for advertising purposes. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) DSGVO, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or for measures preliminary to a contract.
