1. General Infor­ma­tion and Manda­tory Information

Data Protec­tion

The opera­tors of this website take the protec­tion of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data with confi­den­tia­lity and in compli­ance with the legal data protec­tion regu­la­tions and with this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and to what purpose personal data is collected.

We would like to point out that trans­mis­sion of data on the Internet (e.g. when you commu­ni­cate by e‑mail) can expose your data to secu­rity gaps. It is not possible to protect your data comple­tely from access or inter­cep­tion by third parties.

Revo­king your Consent for the Proces­sing of your Personal Data

Many data proces­sing opera­tions are only possible with your explicit consent. You have the right to revoke consent you have previously given at any time. You can do this simply by writing us an informal e‑mail. The lawful­ness of any data proces­sing carried out prior to you revo­king your consent remains unaf­fected by the revocation.

Right of Objec­tion to Data Coll­ec­tion in Special Cases and to Direct Advertising 

(Article 21 GDPR)

If the data proces­sing occurs on the basis of Art. 6(1)(e) or Art. 6(1)(f) of the EU General Data Protec­tion Regu­la­tion (GDPR), you have the right at any time, for reasons which may arise from your special situa­tion, to lodge an objec­tion to the proces­sing of your personal data. This is also valid for “profiling” which is carried out on the basis of these clauses. Infor­ma­tion regar­ding the legal basis on which each respec­tive data proces­sing opera­tion is carried out can be taken from this Privacy Policy. If you lodge an objec­tion, we will no longer process the personal data concerned, unless we can provide compel­ling, legi­ti­mate reasons for proces­sing this data, which are deemed greater than your inte­rests, rights and free­doms, or unless the proces­sing is neces­sary for the asser­tion, exer­cise or defence of legal claims (objec­tion accor­ding to Art. 21(1) GDPR).

If your personal data is processed in order to conduct direct adver­ti­sing acti­vi­ties, you have the right at any time to lodge an objec­tion to the proces­sing of your personal data for the purposes of this kind of adver­ti­sing acti­vity; this also applies to “profiling” if it is carried out in connec­tion with such direct adver­ti­sing acti­vi­ties. If you lodge an objec­tion, from that point in time your personal data will no longer be used for purposes rela­ting to direct adver­ti­sing. (Objec­tion under Art. 21(2) GDPR)

Right to lodge a complaint with the rele­vant super­vi­sory authority 

Where the terms set out in the GDPR have been violated, the parties concerned have the right to lodge a complaint with a super­vi­sory autho­rity, in parti­cular in the Member State of their habi­tual resi­dence, their place of work, or the place in which the alleged infrin­ge­ment took place. The right to lodge a complaint exists without preju­dice to other admi­nis­tra­tive or judi­cial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to request the disclo­sure of data which we have processed with your consent, or in connec­tion with the fulfilment of a contract, either to you yourself, or to a third party, in a conven­tional, machine-readable format. If you request the direct trans­mis­sion of the data to another respon­sible party, this will only occur where tech­ni­cally possible.

SSL and TLS Encryption

For secu­rity reasons and in order to protect the trans­mis­sion of confi­den­tial content, such as orders or queries and requests that you send to us as website operator, this page uses either SSL or TLS encryp­tion. An encrypted connec­tion can be reco­g­nised by that fact that the address field of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock symbol in your browser field.

When SSL or TLS encryp­tion is active, the data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Infor­ma­tion, Objec­tions to Proces­sing, Dele­tion and Correction

Within the frame­work of the appli­cable legal provi­sions, you have to right to infor­ma­tion at any time and free of charge about personal data saved concer­ning you perso­nally, about its origin and reci­pi­ents, and about the purposes for which is it processed. In certain cases you may also have the right to the correc­tion, to object to the proces­sing or to demand dele­tion of this data. In this regard, and also regar­ding further ques­tions on issues connected with personal data, you can contact us at any time using the address provided in the Legal Notice (Impressum).

Right to the Rest­ric­tion of Processing

You have the right to demand rest­ric­tions in the proces­sing of your personal data. In order to do so you can contact us at any time using the address provided in the Legal Notice (Impressum). The right to a rest­ric­tion in the proces­sing of personal data exists in the follo­wing cases:

If you contest the correct­ness of the personal data which we have saved concer­ning your person, we gene­rally require some time to verify this. For the time we need for veri­fi­ca­tion, you have the right to demand rest­ric­tions in the use of your personal data.

If your personal data has been processed or is being processed unlawfully, you can demand that there are rest­ric­tions to how this data is processed rather than deman­ding that it be deleted.

If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exer­cise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to demand rest­ric­tions in proces­sing rather than the dele­tion of your personal data.

If you lodge an objec­tion under Art. 21(1) GDPR, your inte­rests and our inte­rests must first be weighed up against each other. For the period of time until a decision has been taken as to whose inte­rests prevail, you have the right to demand rest­ric­tions in the proces­sing of your personal data.

If you have rest­ricted the proces­sing of your personal data, this data can only be processed (except for saving the data) with your permis­sion, or in order to assert, exer­cise or defend legal claims, or in order to protect the rights of another natural person or legal entity or for reasons of an important public inte­rest pertai­ning to the Euro­pean Union or one of its Member States.

Objec­tion to Adver­ti­sing E‑mails

The use of the contact details published as part of the Legal Notice (Impressum) for the purpose of sending any adver­ti­sing or infor­ma­tion mate­rial we have not expli­citly requested is hereby expli­citly prohi­bited. The site opera­tors expli­citly reserve the right to take legal action in the case of unso­li­cited sending of adver­ti­sing infor­ma­tion, such as via spam e‑mails.

4.Newsletter

News­letter Data

If you would like to receive the news­letter offered on the website, we require your e‑mail address as well as infor­ma­tion that allows us to check that you are the owner of this e‑mail address and agree to recei­ving the news­letter. Addi­tional data is not required, or is provided on a volun­tary basis. This data is used exclu­si­vely in order to send the requested infor­ma­tion and is not passed on to third parties.

The proces­sing of the data entered into the news­letter regis­tra­tion form is carried out exclu­si­vely on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Permis­sion given to us to save your data and your e‑mail address, and to use them in order to send you the news­letter can be revoked at any time, for example, via the “unsub­scribe” link in the news­letter. The lawful­ness of any data proces­sing acti­vi­ties carried out prior to you revo­king your consent remains unaf­fected by the revocation.

The personal data we have from you for the purpose of your news­letter subscrip­tion is held by us until you unsub­scribe from the news­letter, and is deleted when you unsub­scribe. Data which we have saved for other purposes remain unaf­fected by this.

Newsletter2Go

This website uses Newsletter2Go for sending news­let­ters. The provider here is Newsletter2Go GmbH,

Newsletter2Go is a service which allows the orga­ni­sa­tion and analysis of the sending of news­let­ters. The data you enter for the purposes of recei­ving the news­letter are saved on Newsletter2Go’s servers in Germany.

If you do not consent to your data being analysed by Newsletter2Go, you must unsub­scribe from the news­letter. You can find a link to do so at the end of the news­letter. Alter­na­tively, you can unsub­scribe from the news­letter on the website.

Data analysis carried out by Newsletter2Go

Newsletter2Go helps us to analyse our news­letter campaigns. It enables us, for example, to see whether a news­letter mail has been opened and which links, if any, have been clicked. In this way, we can estab­lish which links are clicked parti­cu­larly often, for example.

This also enables us to see whether defined actions are carried out after the news­letter has been opened / links have been clicked (conver­sion rate). This means that we can estab­lish for example whether you have made a purchase after having clicked on a link in the newsletter.

Newsletter2Go also enables us to cluster news­paper reci­pi­ents accor­ding to various diffe­rent criteria. News­letter reci­pi­ents can be clus­tered for example accor­ding to age, gender or place of resi­dence. In this way, the news­let­ters can be better adapted to suit the requi­re­ments of the respec­tive target groups.
