The legal bases for possible processing of personal data and its storage duration vary and are described in the following sec-tions.

Google Analytics:

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc, (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). Usage includes the Universal Analytics mode. This makes it possible to as-sign data, sessions and interactions across multiple devices to a pseudon-ymous user ID and thus analyse a user's activities across devices. Google Analytics uses cookies that make it possible to analyse your use of this website. The data generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to the Google server in the USA, where it is stored. If you are located in a member state of the European Union, or another state which is party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and you have activated IP anonymisation for this website, your IP address will, how-ever, first be abridged by Google. Only in exceptional cases, your full IP ad-dress is transmitted to the Google server in the USA, where it is then abridged. The IP address identified on your browser by Google Analytics is not connected to other Google data. Google uses this information by order of the operator of this website to analyse your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide further services connected with the use of this website and the Internet to the website operator. These pur-poses also encompass our legitimate interest in data processing. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Section 15 Subsection 3 TMG (German Telemedia Act) and Article 6 Subsection 1 f DSGVO (German General Data Protection Regulation). The data sent by us and linked with cookies, user IDs or advertising IDs are automatically deleted after 14 months. Data whose retention period has been reached is automatically de-leted once a month. For more information about the Terms of Use and Pri-vacy, please vis-it https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or https://policies.google.com/?hl=de.

We regret to inform you, however, that you may not be able to make full use of all the functions on this website if you do so. In addition, you can prevent the data generated by the cookie and the data concerning your use of this website (including your IP address) from being transmitted to or processed by Google

Further details regarding the terms of use and privacy policy can be found at www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.htmlor at www.google.de/intl/de/policies/. We would like to point out that on this website Google Analytics has been extended by the code "gat._anonymizeIp();" in order to ensure an anonymous collection of IP ad-dresses (so-called IP masking).

AdWords (remarketing / conversion tracking)

Our website uses the Google AdWords service. Google AdWords is an online advertising program provided by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). Google AdWords is used to show advertisements to users based on their interests. Google col-lects anonymous evaluations via cookies in order to be able to present the most targeted advertising possible. Cookies make it possible to recognise returning website visitors (by identifying the respective web browser used) without making unique personal identification possible. We also use con-version tracking when using the Google AdWords service. When you click on an ad delivered by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is placed on your device. These cookies expire after 30 days, do not contain any per-sonal data and can therefore not be used for personal identification. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate con-version statistics for AdWords customers. The legal basis for using Google AdWords is Section 6, Paragraph 1 f of the GDPR. You can disable the use of cookies by Google by following the link below and downloading and in-stalling the plug-in provided there: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. You may also disable interest-based ads on Google and interest-based Google ads on the web (within the Google display network) in your browser by clicking on the “Off” button at http://www.google.de/settings/ads or by disabling them at http://www.aboutads.info/choices/.

Transmission of data

Your data is not transferred to third parties unless we are legally obliged to do so, or if the transmission of data is necessary for the execution of the contractual relationship, or if you have previously expressly consented to the transmission of your data. External service providers and partner com-panies such as online payment providers or the shipping company commis-sioned with the delivery will only receive your data if this is necessary to process your order. In these cases, however, the extent of the transmitted data is limited to the required minimum. As far as our service providers come into contact with your personal data, we ensure within the scope of order processing according to Section 28 DSGVO that they comply with the provisions of the data protection laws in the same way. Please also note the respective data protection policies of the providers. The respective service provider is responsible for the content of external services, whereby we check the compliance of the services with the legal requirements to the ex-tent reasonable. It is important to us to process your data within the EU/EEA. However, we may use service providers who process data outside the EU/EEA. In these cases, we ensure that an appropriate level of data protection is provided by the recipient prior to the transmission of your per-sonal data. This means that a data protection level comparable to the standards within the EU is achieved through EU standard contracts or an adequacy decision such as the EU Privacy Shield.

Data security

We have taken extensive technical and operational precautions to protect your data from accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons. Our security procedures are regularly re-viewed and adapted to technological progress.
