1) What data is collected, how is it used, and how long is it stored?

a) Processing for the provision of the digital service, which is based on legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 f GDPR, §25 para. 2 no. 2 Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (Telekommunikation-Digitale-Dienste-Datenschutz-Gesetz – TDDDG))

  • When you use our digital service, our servers temporarily record the domain name or IP address of your end device as well as other data, such as the requested content or the response code. The logged data is used exclusively for the purposes of data security, in particular to defend against attempts to attack our server. They are neither used for the creation of individual user profiles, nor passed on to third parties, and are deleted after seven days at the latest. We reserve the right to statistically evaluate anonymous data sets.

b) Other: Additional personal data, such as your name, address, telephone number, or email address, is not collected unless you provide this information voluntarily.

2) Is my usage behavior evaluated, e.g., for advertising or tracking?

We want you to enjoy using our digital services and to make use of our products and services. In order for you to find the products that interest you and to enable us to design our digital service in a user-friendly manner, we analyze your usage behavior in a pseudonymized form. Usage profiles are created within the framework of legal regulations. In the following, we provide general information about the various purposes of processing. Via the “Consent to data processing” query, which appears when you access our digital service, you have the option to consent to processing or to refuse it in part or in full. Processing that is necessary for the provision of the digital service (see explanation above under 1.) cannot be refused.

    These processing operations are necessary to enable you to navigate through the digital service and use essential functions. They enable basic functions such as processing of orders made in the online shop and providing access to secure areas of the digital service. They also help us in our anonymous evaluation of user behavior, providing us with information that we then use to continuously develop our digital service for you. The legal basis for this processing is §25 para. 2 no. 2 TDDDG, Art. 6 para. 1b GDPR, or in the case of third countries, Art. 44 et seq. GDPR.
