Some of our web pages use cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies help make our website 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.

4. Plugins and tools

Google Web Fonts

For uniform representation of fonts, this page uses web fonts provided by Google. When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly. For this purpose your browser has to establish a direct connection to Google servers. Google thus becomes aware that our web page was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web fonts is done in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our website. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO.

If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer.

Further information about handling user data, can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

This site uses the Google Maps map service via an API. It is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. To use Google Maps, it is necessary to save your IP address. This information is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer. The use of Google Maps is in the interest of making our website appealing and to facilitate the location of places specified by us on the website. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO.

5. Legal basis for data processing

Art. 6 I (a) General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) serves our company as the legal basis for processing any data for which we seek consent for a specific purpose. If it is necessary to process personal data for performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case for instance when data has to be processed to perform the delivery of goods or the provision of a service, processing is based on Art. 6 I (b) GDPR. The same applies to cases of processing which are necessary to perform pre-contractual measures, for instance when dealing with inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which necessitates the processing of personal data, for instance to satisfy our tax obligations, processing is based on Art. 6 I (c) GDPR. In rare cases, it may be necessary for our company to process personal data in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for instance, if a visitor to our company were to be injured and his/her name, age, medical insurance data or any other vital information had to be disclosed to a physician, hospital or other third party. In such cases, processing would be based on Art 6 I (d) GDPR.
