Newsletter and Electronic Notifications

We send newsletters, emails, and other electronic notifications only with the consent of the recipients or a legal permission. If the contents of a newsletter are concretely described in the context of a registration for the newsletter, they are decisive for the consent of the users. Furthermore, our newsletters contain information about our services and us.

To subscribe to our newsletters, it is generally sufficient to provide your email address. However, we may ask you to enter a name for personal address in the newsletter or further information if this is necessary for the purposes of the newsletter.

Double-Opt-In Procedure: The registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double-opt-in procedure. That is, you will receive an email after registration in which you are asked to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that nobody can register with foreign email addresses. The registrations for the newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process according to the legal requirements. This includes the storage of the registration and confirmation time as well as the IP address. Likewise, the changes to your data stored by the shipping service provider are logged.

Deletion and limitation of processing: We may store the unsubscribed email addresses for up to three years based on our legitimate interests before we delete them in order to be able to prove a previously given consent. The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of a possible defense against claims. In the case of obligations to permanently observe objections, we reserve the right to store the email address for this purpose in a blacklist (so-called “blocklist”).

The logging of the registration process is carried out based on our legitimate interests for the purpose of proving its proper course. If we commission a service provider to send emails, this is done based on our legitimate interests in an efficient and secure sending system.

Contents: Information about us, our services, actions, and offers.

Processed data types: Inventory data, contact data, meta/communication and procedural data, usage data.

Affected persons: Communication partners.

Purposes of processing: Direct marketing (e.g., via email or by mail).

Legal bases: Consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR).

Objection option (Opt-Out): You can cancel the receipt of our newsletter at any time, i.e., revoke your consents, or object to further receipt. A link to cancel the newsletter can be found either at the end of each newsletter or you can use one of the above-mentioned contact options, preferably email.

Further Notes on Processing Processes, Procedures, and Services

Measurement of opening and click rates: The newsletters contain a so-called “web beacon”, i.e., a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from our server or, if we use a mailing service provider, from its server when the newsletter is opened. In the course of this retrieval, initially technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of retrieval, are collected. This information is used to technically improve our newsletters based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or access times. This analysis also includes determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened, and which links are clicked. This information is assigned to the individual newsletter recipients and stored in their profiles until deleted. The evaluations serve us to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users. The measurement of the opening rates and the click rates as well as the storage of the measurement results in the profiles of the users; Legal bases: Consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR).

Advertising Communication via Email, Mail, Fax, or Telephone

We process personal data for purposes of advertising communication, which can occur via various channels, such as email, telephone, mail, or fax, in accordance with legal requirements.

Recipients have the right to revoke consents given at any time or to object to the advertising communication at any time.

After revocation or objection, we store the data required to prove the previous authorization for contact or sending until three years after the end of the year of the revocation or objection based on our legitimate interests. The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of a possible defense against claims. Based on the legitimate interest, to permanently respect the revocation or objection of the users, we further store the necessary data to avoid a renewed contact (e.g., depending on the communication channel, the email address, telephone number, name).

Processed data types: Inventory data, contact data.

Affected persons: Communication partners.

Purposes of processing: Direct marketing (e.g., via email or by mail).

Legal bases: Consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR). Legitimate interests (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

Competitions and Contests

We process the personal data of participants in competitions and contests only in compliance with the relevant data protection regulations, insofar as the processing is contractually required for the provision, execution, and handling of the competition, the participants have consented to the processing, or the processing serves our legitimate interests (e.g., in the security of the competition or the protection of our interests against misuse by possible recording of IP addresses upon submission of competition entries).

If contributions of the participants are published within the framework of the competitions (e.g., in the context of a vote or presentation of the competition contributions or the winners or the reporting on the competition), we point out that the names of the participants can also be published in this context. Participants can object to this at any time.

If the competition takes place within an online platform or a social network (e.g., Facebook or Instagram, hereinafter referred to as “online platform”), the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective platforms also apply. In these cases, we point out that we are responsible for the information provided by the participants in the context of the competition and that inquiries regarding the competition should be directed to us.

The data of the participants will be deleted as soon as the competition or contest is over, and the data is no longer necessary to inform the winners or because further inquiries about the competition can be expected. As a rule, the data of the participants will be deleted at the latest 6 months after the end of the competition. Winners’ data can be retained for a longer period in order to answer questions about the prizes or to fulfill the services of the prize; in this case, the retention period depends on the type of prize and is, for example, for items or services up to three years in order to be able to process warranty cases. Furthermore, the participants’ data can be stored longer, e.g., in the form of reporting on the competition in online and offline media.

If data were also collected for other purposes within the framework of the competition, their processing and the retention period are governed by the privacy notices of this use (e.g., in the case of registration for the newsletter as part of a competition).

Processed data types: Inventory data, content data, meta/communication and procedural data.

Affected persons: Competition and contest participants.

Purposes of processing: Execution of competitions and contests.

Legal bases: Performance of a contract and pre-contractual inquiries (Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR).

Web Analysis, Monitoring, and Optimization

Web analysis (also referred to as “reach measurement”) serves the evaluation of the visitor flows of our online offer and can include behavior, interests, or demographic information about the visitors, such as age or gender, as pseudonymous values. With the help of the reach analysis, we can, for example, recognize at what time our online offer or its functions or contents are most frequently used or invite to reuse. We can also understand which areas require optimization.

In addition to web analysis, we can also use test procedures, for example, to test and optimize different versions of our online offer or its components.

Unless otherwise stated below, profiles, i.e., to a usage process aggregated data, can be created and information stored in a browser, or on a device can be read out. The collected information can include, in particular, visited websites and used elements and technical information, such as the used browser, the used computer system as well as information on usage times. If users have consented to the collection of their location data, this can also be processed, depending on the provider.

Furthermore, the IP addresses of the users are stored. However, we use an IP masking procedure (i.e., pseudonymization by shortening the IP address) to protect the users. In general, no clear data of the users (such as e-mail addresses or names) are stored in the context of the web analysis, A/B testing, and optimization, but pseudonyms. That is, we, as well as the providers of the used software, do not know the actual identity of the users, but only the information stored in their profiles for the purposes of the respective procedures.

Processed data types: Usage data, meta/communication and procedural data.

Affected persons: Users (e.g., website visitors, users of online services).

Purposes of processing: Reach measurement, profiles with user-related information. Provision of our online offer and user-friendliness.

Security measures: IP masking (pseudonymization of the IP address).

Legal bases: Consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR).

Further Information on Processing Processes, Procedures, and Services

Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to measure and analyze the usage of our online offer based on a pseudonymous user identification number. This identification number does not contain unique data, such as names or email addresses. It is used to assign analysis information to a device to identify which content users have accessed within one or several usage processes, which search terms they have used, revisited, or interacted with our online offer. Similarly, the time of use and its duration are stored, as well as the sources of the users referring to our online offer and technical aspects of their devices and browsers. Pseudonymous profiles of users are created with information from the use of various devices, where cookies may be used. Google Analytics logs and stores no individual IP addresses for EU users. However, Analytics provides coarse geographic location data by deriving the following metadata from IP addresses: city (and the derived latitude and longitude of the city), continent, country, region, subcontinent (and ID-based counterparts). For EU traffic, IP address data is used exclusively for this derivation of geolocation data before being immediately deleted. They are not logged, are not accessible, and are not used for further purposes. When Google Analytics collects measurement data, all IP queries are performed on EU-based servers before the traffic is forwarded to Analytics servers for processing; Service provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; Legal basis: Consent (Article 6 (1) lit. a GDPR); Website: https://marketingplatform.google.com/intl/de/about/analytics/. Security measures: IP masking (pseudonymization of the IP address); Privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy. Opt-Out: Users can prevent the storage of cookies by setting their browser software accordingly; furthermore, users can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to their use of the online offer to Google as well as the processing of these data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. For more information on data usage for advertising purposes by Google, settings, and opt-out options, please visit Google’s websites: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners (“Data use by Google when you use websites or apps of our partners”), https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads (“Data use for advertising purposes”), https://www.google.de/settings/ads (“Manage information that Google uses to show you advertisements”) and https://www.google.com/ads/preferences (“Determine which advertising Google shows you”).

Google Tag Manager: Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows us to manage so-called website tags via an interface and thus integrate Google Analytics and other Google marketing services into our online offer. The Tag Manager itself (which implements the tags) does not process any personal data of the users. With regard to the processing of users’ personal data, reference is made to the following information on Google services. Usage policy: https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html.

Presences in Social Networks (Social Media)

We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms to communicate with active customers, prospects, and users there and to inform them about our services.

We would like to point out that user data may be processed outside the European Union. This may pose risks to users because, for example, the enforcement of users’ rights could be made more difficult. Regarding US providers certified under the Privacy Shield, we would like to point out that they commit themselves to comply with the EU’s data protection standards.

Furthermore, user data is usually processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, user behavior and resulting interests can be used to create usage profiles. The usage profiles can in turn be used to place advertisements inside and outside the platforms that presumably correspond to the interests of the users. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on the users’ computers, where the user behavior and interests are stored. Furthermore, data can also be stored in the usage profiles independently of the devices used by the users (especially if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in to them).

For a detailed description of the respective processing forms and the opt-out options, we refer to the privacy statements and information provided by the operators of the respective networks.

Also, in the case of requests for information and the assertion of user rights, we point out that these can be most effectively claimed from the providers. Only the providers have access to the users’ data and can directly take appropriate measures and provide information. Should you still need help, then you can contact us.

Processed data types: Inventory data, contact data, content data, usage data, meta/communication and procedural data.

Affected persons: Users (e.g., website visitors, users of online services).

Purposes of processing: Contact inquiries and communication, feedback (e.g., collecting feedback via online form), marketing.

Legal bases: Legitimate interests (Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR).

Plugins and Embedded Functions and Content

We integrate functionalities and contents into our online offer, which are obtained from the servers of their respective providers (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”). This can include graphics, videos, or city maps (hereinafter uniformly referred to as “content”).

The integration always presupposes that the third-party providers of this content process the IP address of the users, since without the IP address, they could not send the content to their browsers. The IP address is therefore required for the display of this content or functions. We strive to use only content whose respective providers use the IP address solely for the delivery of the content. Third-party providers can also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. The “pixel tags” can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information can also be stored in cookies on the user’s device and may include, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring web pages, visit time, and other information regarding the use of our online offer, as well as be linked to such information from other sources.

Processed data types: Usage data, meta/communication and procedural data.

Affected persons: Users (e.g., website visitors, users of online services).

Purposes of processing: Provision of our online offer and user-friendliness, contractual services, and service.

Legal bases: Legitimate interests (Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR).
