2. data processing on our website

General information

2.1 Integration of services and content of third parties

We may use services of third parties within our website, for example, to integrate external media, perform analyses, etc.. This is always done on the basis of a legal basis, such as on the basis of our legitimate interests (such as our interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our website) within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO or - where necessary in individual cases - on the basis of your previously given consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO.

Such services generally require that the third-party providers, perceive the IP address of users, as they could not send the corresponding content to their browser without the IP address. The IP address is thus required for the display of such content. We strive to use only services whose respective providers use the IP address only for the delivery of the content. Some third-party providers also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as "web beacons") for statistical or marketing purposes. The "pixel tags" can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user's device and contain, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit and other information about the use of our online offer, as well as be combined with such information from other sources.

For more detailed information on which services are actually used on this site and how the data is processed within their framework, as well as the relevant legal basis, please refer to the explanations of the respective services in the further course of this privacy policy.

2.2 Types of data processed

We collect and process on our website inventory data (e.g. names, addresses), contact data (e.g. e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, fax numbers, postal address), usage data (e.g. web pages visited, links clicked, interest in content, access times, access locations), content data (e.g. comments, text input, photos, videos) and meta and communication data (e.g. device information, browser information, IP addresses).

2.3 Categories of data subjects

The data subjects of the processing of personal data are all visitors and users of our website.  

2. 4 Purpose of processing

We collect and process the personal data of the users of our website in order to communicate with them and to inform them (e.g. contact and other inquiries), to carry out statistics, reach measurement and analyses (e.g. with marketing and analysis tools), so that we can better design and optimize content and functions, to technically manage and optimize the website and to close security gaps.

2.5 Legal basis for the processing of personal data 

We process personal data only if we are entitled to do so on the basis of a legal basis. In the following, we will name these legal bases individually in the context of the respective processing operations. In general, we are always entitled to process personal data if the data subject has consented (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, Art. 7 DSGVO), if we are obliged to fulfill contractual or pre-contractual obligations (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO), if we have to fulfill legal obligations (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO) or if we safeguard our legitimate interests (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO).

2.6 Receivers of personal data

We may transfer personal data to processors or other third parties (e.g. hosting agencies, etc.) with whom we cooperate. We are entitled to do this if the data subject has consented to this (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, Art. 7 DSGVO), if we thereby fulfill contractual or pre-contractual obligations (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSG-VO), if we thereby fulfill a legal obligation (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO) or if we safeguard our legitimate interests (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO).

Furthermore, cookies are stored on your computer when you use our website. Cookies are small text files that allow specific information related to the device to be stored on the user's access device (PC, smartphone, other end devices). They are used for the user-friendliness of websites (e.g. storage of login data), the collection of statistical data on website usage and for analysis for the purpose of improving the website.

You can prevent the storage of all or only certain cookies by setting your browser accordingly in the security settings. Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted in the browser. In these cases, however, the use of the website may be limited.

This website uses the following types of cookies:

  • Transient (temporary) cookies

Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close the browser or log out. These include in particular the session cookies. These store a so-called session ID, with which various requests of your browser can be assigned to the common session. This allows your computer to be recognized when you return to our website.

Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified duration, which may differ depending on the cookie. You can delete the cookies in the security settings of your browser at any time.

Both types of cookies can come from us (then "first-party cookies") or from third parties ("third-party cookies").

Such cookies that enable the secure functioning of the website in the first place and such cookies that only statistically record the general usage behavior (eg. the access to the website at all as well as the time of access), without merging user data across websites, without using external servers or services and without establishing traceability, we use on the basis of our legitimate interest in a secure and functional provision of the website as well as for statistical purposes to optimize our Internet presence in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

2.10 eTracker

We use on our website the service etracker Analytics of etracker GmbH, Erste Brunnenstraße 1, 20459 Hamburg, Imprint: https://www.etracker.com/impressum/ (hereinafter referred to as "etracker"). Here you can find FAQ from etracker regarding the DSGVO: https://www.etracker.com/docs/faq/eu-dsgvo/. You can access etracker's privacy policy here: www.etracker.com/datenschutz/. We have concluded a corresponding contract for order processing with the company etracker.  

We use etracker Analytics based on our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO, in this case in the interest of evaluating our website and improving it for you as a user. As standard, etracker Analytics does not use cookies, but records the visit behavior (by means of purely technical parameters, such as the shortened IP address or the browser used) within a session (website visit) by means of cookieless session tracking. A fingerprinting process is used to generate a hash value (a combination of characters from which the original data cannot be derived) from purely technical data (such as the shortened IP address or the browser used), to which the date of the page call is also added in order to make it even less likely that the identity of the user can be deduced. This value is automatically deleted every 24 hours. Within the 24 hours, it is possible to analyze user behavior through this fingerprint.

You can object to the data processing at any time here:

We use the etracker Optimiser add-on from etracker on our website to etracker Analytics with which an A/B testing (further information on this: https://www. etracker.com/docs/operation/etracker-optimiser/testing-targeting/a-b-testing-smart-messages/), overlay messaging (more information on this: https://www.etracker.com/docs/videos/etracker-optimiser/smart-messages/), remarketing feed (more information on this:

This includes the indication of the agency, which cooperates with us in the respective case and processes the data of the participants accordingly for the processing of the competition. The data will therefore be passed on to these agencies. Otherwise, no transfer will take place.

The data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 sec.1 lit. b GDPR or – if necessary – on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 sec.1 lit. a GDPR.

The winners' data will also be processed for winning notification and for the dispatch of the winnings and then deleted. Only with your express consent will it be used beyond this purpose, e.g. for sending the newsletter.
