Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Below we inform you about the legal basis for the processing of personal data:
If we have obtained your consent for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
If the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject (e.g. statutory retention obligations), the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c) GDPR.
If processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. d) GDPR is the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to protect our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party and your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms do not prevail in this respect, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR is the legal basis.
Disclosure of personal data to third parties and processors
As a matter of principle, we do not pass on any data to third parties without your consent. Should this nevertheless be the case, the data will be passed on on the basis of the aforementioned legal bases, e.g. when passing on data to online payment providers to fulfill a contract or due to a court order or due to a legal obligation to hand over the data for the purpose of criminal prosecution, to avert danger or to enforce intellectual property rights.
We also use processors (external service providers, e.g. for web hosting of our websites and databases) to process your data. If data is passed on to the processors as part of an agreement on order processing, this is always done in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. We select our processors carefully, monitor them regularly and have been granted the right to issue instructions regarding the data. In addition, the processors must have taken appropriate technical and organizational measures and comply with the data protection regulations according to BDSG n.F. and GDPR
Data transfer to third countries
The adoption of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has created a uniform basis for data protection in Europe. Your data is therefore primarily processed by companies to which the GDPR applies. However, if the processing is carried out by third-party services outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, these must fulfill the special requirements of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR must be met. This means that the processing takes place on the basis of special guarantees, such as the EU Commission's officially recognized determination of a level of data protection corresponding to that of the EU or compliance with officially recognized special contractual obligations, the so-called "standard contractual clauses". In the case of US companies, submission to the so-called "Privacy Shield", the data protection agreement between the EU and the USA, fulfills these requirements.
Deletion of data and storage duration
Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy, your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for which it was stored no longer applies, unless its continued storage is necessary for evidence purposes or is contrary to statutory retention obligations. This includes, for example, commercial law retention obligations for business letters in accordance with Section 257 (1) HGB (6 years) and tax law retention obligations for documents in accordance with Section 147 (1) AO (10 years). If the prescribed retention period expires, your data will be blocked or deleted unless storage is still necessary for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.
Existence of automated decision-making
We do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
Provision of our website and creation of log files
If you only use our website for information purposes (i.e. no registration and no other transmission of information), we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. If you wish to view our website, we collect the following data
- IP address;
- Internet service provider of the user;
- Date and time of access;
- Browser type;
- language and browser version;
- Content of the retrieval;
- time zone;
- Access status/HTTP status code;

- operating system.
This data is not stored together with your other personal data.
This data serves the purpose of user-friendly, functional and secure delivery of our website to you with functions and content as well as their optimization and statistical evaluation.
The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR, which also lies in the above purposes.
For security reasons, we store this data in server log files for a storage period of 90 days. After this period has expired, they are automatically deleted unless we need to retain them for evidence purposes in the event of attacks on the server infrastructure or other legal violations.
cookies
We use so-called cookies when you visit our website. Cookies are small text files that your Internet browser places and stores on your computer. When you visit our website again, these cookies provide information to automatically recognize you. The information obtained in this way serves the purpose of optimizing our website technically and economically and enabling you to access our website more easily and securely. When you visit our website, we inform you about the use of cookies for the aforementioned purposes and how you can object to them or prevent their storage ("opt-out") by means of a reference to our privacy policy. Our website uses session cookies, persistent cookies and third-party cookies:
- Session cookies: We use so-called cookies to recognize multiple use of an offer by the same user (e.g. if you have logged in to determine your login status). When you visit our site again, these cookies provide information to automatically recognize you. The information obtained in this way is used to optimize our services and make it easier for you to access our site. When you close the browser or log out, the session cookies are deleted.
- Persistent cookies: These are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie. You can delete cookies at any time in your browser's security settings.
- Cookies from third-party providers (third-party cookies): Depending on your wishes, you can configure your browser settings and, for example, refuse to accept third-party cookies or all cookies. However, we would like to point out that you may then not be able to use all the functions of this website. Read more about these cookies in the respective privacy policies of the third-party providers.
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. lit. b) GDPR, if the cookies are set to initiate a contract, e.g. for orders, and otherwise we have a legitimate interest in the effective functionality of the website, so that in this case Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f) GDPR is the legal basis.
Objection and "opt-out": You can generally prevent cookies from being stored on your hard disk by selecting "Do not accept cookies" in your browser settings. However, this may limit the functionality of our services. You can object to the use of cookies from third-party providers for advertising purposes via a so-called "opt-out" via this American website (https://optout.aboutads.info) or this European website (http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/).
Processing of contracts
We process inventory data (e.g. company, title/academic degree, names and addresses as well as contact data of users, e-mail), contract data (e.g. services used, names of contact persons) and payment data (e.g. bank details, payment history) for the purpose of fulfilling our contractual obligations (knowledge of who the contractual partner is; justification, content and execution of the contract; checking the plausibility of the data) and services (e.g. contacting customer service) in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR. The entries marked as mandatory in online forms are required for the conclusion of the contract.
This data will not be passed on to third parties unless it is necessary to pursue our claims (e.g. transfer to a lawyer for debt collection) or to fulfill the contract (e.g. transfer of data to payment providers) or there is a legal obligation to do so in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. c) GDPR.
We may also process the data you provide in order to inform you about other interesting products from our portfolio or to send you e-mails with technical information.
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. This is the case for inventory and contract data when the data is no longer required for the performance of the contract and no more claims can be asserted under the contract because they are time-barred (warranty: two years / standard limitation period: three years). Due to commercial and tax law requirements, we are obliged to store your address, payment and order data for a period of ten years. However, we restrict processing after three years if the contract is terminated, i.e. your data will only be used to comply with legal obligations. Information in the user account remains until it is deleted.
Use of the blog functions / comments
You can make public comments in our blog, which contains posts on topics related to our website. You can use a pseudonym instead of a real name. Your contribution will then be published under the pseudonym. You must provide your e-mail address; all other information is voluntary.
When you post a comment, we store your IP address with the date and time, which we delete after 90 days. The storage serves the legitimate interest of defense against claims by third parties in the event of the publication of illegal or untrue content by you. We store your e-mail address for the purpose of contacting you should third parties legally object to your comments.
The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) and f) GDPR.
We do not review your comments before publication. In the event of complaints from third parties, we reserve the right to delete your comments. We do not pass on the data to third parties unless it is necessary to pursue our claims or there is a legal obligation to do so (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c) GDPR).
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected or for the performance of the contract because the contract has been terminated.
