If the confirmation is not received, the registration will be automatically deleted within four weeks. Messages in the context of the contractual relationship with the user, for example the sending of technical information, information on payment processing, queries about orders and similar messages, do not belong to promotional information. Users can subsequently request to be removed from the notification list by sending an e-mail to the contact option specified above. Within the scope of the registration, the provider stores the registration as well as the confirmation time and the IP address of the user. The provider is legally obliged to log the registrations in order to be able to prove proper registration.
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified e-mail address and agree to receive the newsletter.
To ensure that the newsletter is sent without your consent, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. In the course of this, the potential recipient allows himself to be included in a distribution list. Subsequently, the user is given the opportunity to confirm the registration in a legally secure manner by means of a confirmation e-mail. Only if the confirmation is received, the address will be actively included in the distribution list.
We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and offers.
You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the e-mail address and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example, via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter, it is also sufficient to send a message in text form (e-mail, letter) to the contact details listed in this privacy policy under "responsible person".
Our email newsletter is sent via the technical service provider "Klaviyo", 225 Franklin St, Boston, MA 02110, USA (http://www.klaviyo.com/), to whom we pass on the data you provided when registering for the newsletter.

Analysis tools and advertising
Facebook Pixel, Facebook Custom Audiences and Facebook Conversion
Within our online offer, the so-called "Facebook Pixel" of the social network Facebook, which is operated for users residing in the EU, by Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook"), is used.
With the help of Facebook Pixel, Facebook can determine you as a visitor to our online offer as a target group for the display of ads (so-called "Facebook Ads"). Based on this, we use the Facebook pixel to display the Facebook ads placed by us only to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called "Custom Audiences"). With the help of the Facebook pixel, we also ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of users and do not have a harassing effect. With the help of the Facebook Pixel, we can also track the effectiveness of the Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes, namely by being able to see whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called "conversion").
The use of the Facebook Pixel as well as the storage of "conversion cookies" takes place on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO.
For the processing of the data, for which Facebook acts as a data processor, we have concluded a data processing contract with Facebook, in which we oblige Facebook to protect our customers' data and not to pass it on to third parties.
The data collected is anonymous for us as the operator of this website, we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with the Facebook Data Use Policy. This allows Facebook to enable the placement of advertisements on Facebook pages as well as outside of Facebook. This use of the data cannot be influenced by us as the page operator.
You can also deactivate the "Custom Audiences" remarketing function in the Ad Settings section at https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen. To do this, you must be logged into Facebook.
If you do not have a Facebook account, you can deactivate usage-based advertising from Facebook on the website of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/.
You can object to the collection by the Facebook pixel and use of your data to display Facebook ads at any time.
For this purpose, it is sufficient to send a message in text form (e-mail, letter) to the contact details stated in this data protection declaration under "Person responsible".
You can find another opt-out option in our Cookie Statement.

Google Ads (formerly: Google Adwords)
Information/Purpose:
Google Ads Conversion
Main service provider: Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dub-lin 4, Ireland.
This website uses Google Ads. Ads is an online advertising programme provided by Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4 IE ("Google"). The legal basis is consent according to Art. 6 (1) a DSGVO.
We can use the programme to determine how successful our individual advertising measures are. We thereby pursue the interest of showing you advertising that is of interest to you, to make our website more interesting for you and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs. Within the scope of Google Ads, we use the so-called advanced conversion tracking.
This requires your consent, which you can object to.
Extended conversions are a function that supplements existing conversion tags. This means that conversion data collected on the website itself is sent to Google in encrypted form.
When a conversion is performed on a website, in most cases user data such as a name, email address or postal address is sent to Google.
This data may be collected and hashed in your conversion tracking tags.
To do this, the data is encrypted with a one-way hash algorithm SHA256.
The hash values of your user inside data are then passed to Google and used to improve your conversion measurement.
If the cookie banner is accepted in consent mode, the tracking tags work as usual and record the associated conversions and click information.
In the case of a cookie refusal, the Consent-Mode only sends a ping information. The so-called pings work without cookies. They can contain information such as the time stamp and the referral URL. No personally identifiable information is stored.
In addition, the pings allow Consent Mode to compare opt-in and opt-out rates. This information is then used to model conversions from users who have rejected the cookie banner.
If you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is set for the extended conversion tracking.
Cookies are small text files that the internet browser stores on the user's computer.
These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and do not serve to personally identify the user.
Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked via or across the websites of Ads customers.
The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Ads customers, who have opted in to conversion tracking. The clients learn, for example the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag.
However, they do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified.
We ourselves do not collect or process any personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google that enable us to recognise which of our specific advertising measures are particularly effective. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking, you can object to this use by easily deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie via your internet browser under user settings.
You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
You can find more information on Google Ads and Google enhanced conversion tracking in the privacy policy of Google: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
Transfers to third countries are possible. Further information on this can be found here: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-transfers-outside-eu_de.
You can deactivate the tool via the cookie settings.
Google Ads Remarketing
We use the remarketing function within the Google Ads service. The legal basis is consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a DSGVO.
With the remarketing function, we can show users of our website advertising tailored to their interests on other websites within the Google advertising network. For this purpose, the clicking behaviour of users on our website is analysed, e.g. which offers a user was interested in, in order to be able to present targeted advertising to users on other sites even after they have visited our website. For this purpose, Google stores cookies on the end devices of users who visit certain Google services or websites in the Google advertising network.

Duration of the storage of personal data
Data will be deleted or its processing restricted in accordance with Articles 17 and 18 DSGVO. Unless expressly stated within the scope of this data protection declaration, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for their intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations.
If the data is not deleted because it is required for other and legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted. I.e. the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for reasons of commercial or tax law.
According to legal requirements in Germany, data is stored in particular for 6 years in accordance with § 257 para. 1 HGB (commercial books, inventories, opening balances, annual financial statements, commercial letters, accounting vouchers, etc.) and for 10 years in accordance with § 147 para. 1 AO (books, records, management reports, accounting vouchers, commercial and business letters, documents relevant for taxation, etc.).

Assertion of the right of revocation and objection
In accordance with Article 7 (2) DSGVO, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. This has the consequence that we will no longer continue the data processing based on this consent in the future.

Insofar as we process your data on the basis of legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO, you have the right to object to the processing of your data pursuant to Art. 21 DSGVO, insofar as there are grounds for doing so that arise from your particular situation or the objection is directed against direct advertising. In the latter case, you have a general right of objection, which will also be implemented by us without giving reasons. If you wish to make use of your right of revocation or objection, it is sufficient to send an informal message to the contact details above.
