To make your visit to our website more attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use so-called cookies on various pages. These are small text files that are stored on your device.

When cookies are set, they collect and process certain user information, such as browser and location data, as well as IP addresses, to varying degrees. Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a predetermined period, which can vary depending on the cookie.

If personal data is processed through individual cookies implemented by us, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR either for the performance of the contract or in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website and a customer-friendly and effective design of the website visit.

5) Contact

5.1 When you contact us (e.g., via contact form or email), personal data is collected. The specific data collected when using a contact form is indicated on the respective form. This data is stored and used solely for the purpose of responding to your inquiry, contacting you, and for the associated technical administration. The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your inquiry pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after your inquiry has been fully processed. This is the case when it is clear from the circumstances that the matter has been resolved and provided that no statutory retention obligations apply.

5.2 WhatsApp-Business

We offer visitors to our website the opportunity to contact us via the WhatsApp messaging service provided by WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. For this purpose, we use the so-called “Business version” of WhatsApp.

If you contact us via WhatsApp regarding a specific transaction (for example, an order you have placed), we will store and use the mobile phone number you use with WhatsApp, as well as your first and last name (if provided), in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, to process and respond to your inquiry. Based on the same legal basis, we may ask you via WhatsApp to provide further data (order number, customer number, address, or email address) in order to assign your inquiry to a specific transaction.

When you use our WhatsApp contact for general inquiries (e.g., regarding our services, availability, or our website), we store and use the mobile phone number you use for WhatsApp, as well as your first and last name (if provided), in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in efficiently and promptly providing the requested information.
Your data will only be used to respond to your inquiry via WhatsApp. It will not be shared with third parties.

Please note that WhatsApp Business accesses the address book of the mobile device we use for this purpose and automatically transfers phone numbers stored in the address book to a server of its parent company, Facebook Inc., in the USA. For the operation of our WhatsApp Business account, we use a mobile device whose address book contains only the WhatsApp contact data of users who have actually contacted us via WhatsApp.

This ensures that every person whose WhatsApp contact details are stored in our address book has already consented to the transmission of their WhatsApp phone number from the address books of their chat contacts in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR by accepting the WhatsApp terms of service when using the app on their device for the first time. Data from users who do not use WhatsApp and/or have not contacted us via WhatsApp will therefore not be transmitted.
For information on the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by WhatsApp, as well as your related rights and privacy settings, please refer to WhatsApp’s privacy policy: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/?eea=1#privacy-policy

6) Comment function

When you use the comment function on this website, your comment, the time it was posted, and your chosen username will be stored and published on this website. Your IP address will also be logged and stored. This IP address is stored for security reasons and in case you, as the person posting the comment, infringes the rights of third parties or posts illegal content. We need your email address to contact you if a third party objects to your published content as being unlawful. The legal basis for storing your data is Article 6(1)(b) and (f) of the GDPR. We reserve the right to delete comments if they are objected to as unlawful by third parties.

7) Web analytics services

Google (Universal) Analytics

This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”). Google (Universal) Analytics uses “cookies,” which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your truncated IP address) will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics exclusively with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”, which ensures anonymization of the IP address by truncation and prevents direct identification of individuals. With this extension, your IP address is truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google LLC server in the USA and truncated there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google (Universal) Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
Google Analytics also enables the creation of statistics on the age, gender, and interests of website visitors through a special function called “demographic characteristics,” based on an analysis of interest-based advertising and the use of third-party information. This allows us to define and differentiate user groups for the website in order to optimize marketing efforts. However, data collected via “demographic characteristics” cannot be attributed to any specific individual.
All processing described above, in particular the setting of Google Analytics cookies to read information on your device, will only be carried out if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Without this consent, Google Analytics will not be used during your visit to our website.

You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right of withdrawal, please deactivate this service in the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website. We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google for the use of Google Analytics, which obligates Google to protect the data of our website visitors and not to disclose it to third parties.
For the transfer of data from the EU to the USA, Google relies on so-called standard contractual clauses of the European Commission, which are intended to ensure compliance with the European level of data protection in the USA.
