Last updated: 5 August 2025

Privacy at a glance

General information

The following notes provide a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data is any data with which you can be personally identified. Detailed information on the subject of data protection can be found in our privacy policy listed below this text.

Data collection on this website

Who is responsible for data collection on this website?

Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find their contact details in the section “Notice regarding the responsible party” in this privacy policy.

How do we collect your data?

On the one hand, your data is collected when you provide it to us. This may, for example, be data that you enter in a contact form.

Other data is collected automatically or with your consent when you visit the website by our IT systems. This is primarily technical data (e.g. internet browser, operating system or time of the page view). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter this website.

What do we use your data for?

Some of the data is collected to ensure error-free provision of the website. Other data may be used to analyse your user behaviour.

Use of Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics on our website, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA (hereinafter “Google”). In this context, Google acts as our processor, and we have concluded a corresponding data processing agreement with Google in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.

Google Analytics enables us to analyse how users interact with the content provided on the website and thus find out what works well and what does not. On this basis, we can optimise our offerings on the website. When Google Analytics is used, the following data is collected and transmitted to Google in the USA: data about the device and browser (hostname, browser type, referrer, language), IP address as well as the respective user interaction on the website (e.g. which page a user visits, which products the user selects and purchases). In addition, a random, pseudonymous ID is assigned to a user by means of a cookie, to which the aforementioned information is assigned. As a rule, this is a cookie ID. It is linked to the identifier of the cookie set by Google Analytics for the specific device. Furthermore, a User ID is set by us for cross-device tracking. In addition, we have activated the IP anonymisation function. This means that as soon as the IP packet arrives at Google’s servers, the data is completely anonymised by Google.

Further information on terms of use and data protection can be found at: http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/en.html or https://policies.google.com/.

Use of Google Tag Manager

In connection with Google Analytics and Google Ad Services, we also use Google Tag Manager. This solution enables Google Analytics and Google Ads to be technically integrated into the website. Google Tag Manager works like a container in which the web analytics and marketing tools to be served on the website are stored using a so-called tag. A tag is a code fragment that determines which data may be collected by the tools used and under which conditions. Google’s privacy notices for this tool can be found here: https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/tag-manager/use-policy/.

Use of Microsoft Clarity

This website uses Microsoft Clarity, a web analytics service of Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”). Microsoft Clarity enables us to analyse user behaviour on our website in order to improve the user experience. For this purpose, various data is collected, such as mouse clicks, mouse movements, scroll activity and, in part, text entries on this website. Microsoft Clarity also uses cookies, i.e. small text files that are stored on your device and enable an analysis of your use of the website.

The information collected by Microsoft Clarity about your use of this website is usually transmitted to and stored on a Microsoft server in the USA. We have concluded a data processing agreement with Microsoft that ensures data processing is carried out in accordance with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

You can object to the collection and storage of your data by Microsoft Clarity at any time. Information on how to disable data collection by Microsoft Clarity can be found in Microsoft’s privacy notices: Link to Microsoft’s privacy notices.

Please note that disabling data collection by Microsoft Clarity may mean that you cannot use all functions of this website to their full extent.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data occurred/is occurring unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defence or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing instead of deletion.
  • If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data — apart from their storage — may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption.

We hereby object to the use of contact data published within the scope of the imprint obligation for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information material. The operators of these pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example through spam e-mails.
