We are pleased that you are visiting our website and thank you for your interest in our company and our products. The protection of your privacy when using our websites is important to us. Therefore, please take note of the following information:
1. Collection, Processing, and Use of Personal Data
You can visit our websites without us collecting any personal data from you. Personal data is only collected if you voluntarily provide it to us for the execution of a contract, when opening a customer account, or when contacting us. This data is used solely for contract processing and handling your inquiries without your explicit consent. After the contract is fully processed, your data will be stored considering tax and commercial retention periods, and deleted after these periods expire.
Additionally, personal data is collected when you subscribe to our email newsletter. This data is used for our own advertising purposes in the form of our email newsletter, provided you have expressly consented as follows:
"Would you like to hear about our offers, promotions, and competitions?"
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link provided in the newsletter or by notifying us accordingly. Your email address will be promptly deleted after unsubscribing.

When selecting the "invoice purchase" payment method via BillSAFE, you will be asked to provide your personal data (first and last name, street, house number, postal code, city, date of birth, email address, and phone number) during the ordering process. PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg, checks, based on the personal data you provide and other data (such as shopping cart, invoice amount, order history, payment experiences), whether the payment option you selected can be granted with regard to payment and/or bad debt risks. In addition to PayPal's internal criteria, identity and credit information from the following credit agencies may also be included in the decision-making process:

The credit report may contain probability values (so-called score values). If score values are included in the credit report result, they are based on a scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical procedure, with address data being included in the calculation of the score values. For the purpose of identity verification, your personal data will be transmitted to one of the above credit agencies. The credit agency then provides a percentage match of the personal details stored with them to the data you provided and may include a note on a previously conducted ID check at the credit agency. PayPal can thus determine from the transmitted match rates whether a person with the details you provided is stored in the credit agency's database.

4. Cookies
This website uses so-called "cookies," which serve to make our online presence overall more user-friendly, effective, and secure – for example, to speed up navigation on our website. Additionally, cookies allow us to measure the frequency of page views and general navigation. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer system. Please note that some of these cookies are transferred from our server to your computer system, which are mostly so-called "session cookies." "Session cookies" are characterized by being automatically deleted from your hard drive at the end of the browser session. Other cookies remain on your computer system and enable us to recognize your computer system upon your next visit (so-called permanent cookies). You can of course reject cookies at any time, provided your browser allows this. Please note that certain functions of this website may not or only partially be usable if your browser is set to not accept cookies (from our website).
5. Web Analysis Service
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies," text files that are stored on your computer and that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website and internet use to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software settings accordingly; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to fully use all the functions of this website. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.
It should be noted that this website uses Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp()" and therefore IP addresses are processed only in a shortened form to exclude direct personal reference.
6. Use of Facebook Plugins
We have integrated so-called plugins of the social network facebook.com (hereinafter "Facebook") into our online presence. Facebook is a company of Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. A list and the appearance of these Facebook plugins can be viewed at the following internet address: Facebook Plugins
Whenever you call up a webpage of our online presence that is equipped with such a plugin, the plugin prompts your browser to load and display the visual representation of the plugin from the Facebook server. By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our web presence, even if you do not have a Facebook user account or are not currently logged into Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there.
If you are a member of Facebook and logged in to Facebook during your visit to our online presence, Facebook recognizes which specific webpage of our online presence you are visiting through the information sent by the plugin and assigns this to your personal user account on Facebook, regardless of whether you activate one of the plugins. If you activate one of the plugins, for example by clicking the "Like" button or leaving a comment, this information is transmitted to your personal user account on Facebook and stored there. To prevent Facebook from associating the collected data with your user account on Facebook, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our online presence. To block the collection and distribution of your visitor data by Facebook plugins for the future, you can obtain a browser add-on called "Facebook Blocker" for some internet browsers from the following link. Please do not delete the browser add-on as long as you want to block the Facebook plugins: http://webgraph.com/resources/facebookblocker/

7. Use of Google+ Plugins (e.g. "+1" Button)
Our website uses so-called social plugins ("plugins") of the social network Google+, operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). The plugins are recognizable, for example, by buttons marked with the "+1" sign on a white or colored background. An overview of the Google plugins and their appearance can be found here: Google Plugins
When you call up a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to Google's servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Google directly to your browser and integrated into the page. By integrating the plugin, Google receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Google+ profile or are not currently logged in to Google+. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
If you are logged in to Google+, Google can directly associate your visit to our website with your Google+ profile. If you interact with the plugins, for example by pressing the "+1" button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a Google server and stored there. The information is also published on Google+ and displayed to your contacts there.
For the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Google, as well as your rights in this regard and settings options to protect your privacy, please refer to Google's privacy policy: Google Privacy Policy
f you do not want Google to directly associate the data collected via our website with your profile on Google+, you must log out of Google+ before visiting our website. You can completely prevent the loading of Google plugins with add-ons for your browser, e.g., the script blocker "NoScript" (NoScript).
