For this reason, every data subject is free to submit personal data to us in alternative ways, for example by telephone.

5. The comment function

When website visitors leave comments or form entries, the data entered and their IP addresses are saved. This is for security reasons, if someone authorizes illegal content (insults, left or right-wing extremist propaganda, hate posts, etc.).

11. Newsletter

You have the opportunity to subscribe to our newsletter on our website. For this, we’ll need your e-mail address and your declaration that you agree with the subscription to the newsletter. As soon as you have subscribed to the newsletter, we will send you a confirmation e-mail with a link to confirm the registration. The personal data collected during the newsletter registration will be used exclusively to send out our newsletter. Newsletter subscribers may also be notified by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or registration, as might be the case in the event of changes in the newsletter or any technical changes.

The consent to the storage of personal data for sending out the newsletters can be revoked any time. There is a corresponding link in each newsletter for revoking the consent.

12. Newsletter-tracking

For sending and analyzing the email correspondences (for example newsletter or customer information) we use the software "eyepin". The newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in emails that are sent in HTML format to allow log-file recording and log-file analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of our online marketing campaigns. The embedded pixel lets us know if and when an email was opened by a data subject. Furthermore, the newsletter tracking will also detect which links in the e-mail were accessed by the data subject. Such personal data collected by the tracking pixels will be stored and evaluated by us in order to optimize the newsletter distribution and to better adapt the content of our future newsletters to the interests of the data subjects. This personal data will not be disclosed to a third party. Subscribers will be able to unsubscribe from receiving newsletters any time by using the double opt-in procedure. After this, no further data will be collected and the address will be placed on a blacklist that documents the deregistration and prevents further submissions. Find out more about eyepin at https://support.eyepin.com/hc.

13. The use of YouTube

15. Payment by PayPal in the online shop

Our website includes PayPal references. PayPal is an online payment service provider. Payments are made through so-called PayPal accounts, which are private or business online accounts. In addition, PayPal has the ability to process online payments through credit cards even if a user does not have a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed via an email address, that’s why there is no classic bank account number. PayPal makes it possible to initiate online payments to third parties or to receive payments. PayPal also has a special fiduciary function and offers buyer protection services. The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.
If you select "PayPal" as a payment option during your order in our online shop, your personal data will be automatically transmitted to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, you automatically agree to the transmission of your personal data required for payment processing. The personal information sent to PayPal are usually as follows: first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number or other data required for payment processing. For processing the sales contract, such personal data will also be required that are necessary for the relevant order. The purpose of the transmission of your personal data is only for the payment transaction and fraud prevention. The person in charge of the transaction will transmit personal information to PayPal only if there’s a legitimate interest in the transmission of such data. The personal information exchanged between PayPal and the person responsible for the data processing may be transferred to credit reporting agencies by PayPal. Its purpose is the identity and credit assessment. PayPal may disclose personal information to affiliated companies, service providers or subcontractors if this information is necessary to fulfill its contractual obligations or to process the data. You have the right to object to the transmission of your personal data by PayPal any time. Your revocation has no effect on the personal information that must be processed, used or transmitted for (contractual) payment processing.
PayPal's current privacy policy is available at https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.

16. Legal basis of processing

Art. 6 I lit. A DS-GMO serves as the legal basis for processing operations where we obtain consent for a particular processing purpose. If the processing of your personal data is necessary to fulfill the contract you signed with us, as is the case, for example, in the processing operations necessary for the supply of goods or the provision of any other services or considerations, processing shall be based on Art. 6 I lit. b DS-GMO. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries regarding our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of your personal data, such as the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c DS-GMO. In rare cases, the processing of the personal data may be required to protect the vital interests of the person involved or any another individual person. This would be the case, for example, if a person visiting our company was injured and his or her name, age, health insurance or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the procedure would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d DS-GMO. Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f DS-GMO. On this legal basis, processing operations that are not covered by any of the above legal bases are required if processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, unless the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the person involved prevail. Such processing operations are particularly allowed to us because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this regard, the European legislator takes the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the company in charge (recital 47, second sentence, DS-BER).

17. Legitimate interests in the processing

Is the processing of personal data based on Article 6 I lit. f DS-GMO, it is our legitimate interest in conducting our business for the benefit of all of our employees and our shareholders.

18. Duration of personal data retention

The duration of personal data retention is the period stipulated by law. The relevant data will be automatically deleted as soon as this period expires, if these data are no longer required to fulfill the contract or to initiate a contract.

19. Legal or contractual regulations for the provision of personal data; the necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligations of the data subject providing personal data; the possible consequences of not providing personal data

We would like to inform you that the provision of personal information is in part required by law (such as tax regulations) or may result from contractual arrangements (such as information of the contractor). Sometimes it is necessary for a contract conclusion that the data subject provides us personal data that will subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is required to provide us personal information when our company enters into a contract with the data subject. Failure in providing the personal data would mean that the contract with the person could not be concluded. Prior to any data provision, the data subject has to contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or is necessary for the contract conclusion, and will also explain the consequences of not providing the required personal data.

20. Automated decision-making

As a company conscious of its responsibilities, we refrain from automatic decision-making or profiling.
