The mandatory information collected is required to fulfill the contract with the user (for the purpose of sending the goods and confirming the content of the contract). We therefore use the data to answer your inquiries, to process your order, if necessary to check creditworthiness or collect a claim and for the purpose of technical administration of the websites.

With regard to the data provided voluntarily, we will delete the data at the end of two years after the execution of the contract, provided that no further contract is concluded with the user during this period; in this case, the data will be deleted two years after the last contract has been carried out.

5) CONTACTING US

When contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail), personal data is collected. Which data is collected when using a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of answering your request or for establishing contact and the associated technical administration.

If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO. Your data will be deleted once your request has been processed. This is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the facts in question have been finally clarified and provided that there are no legal storage obligations to the contrary.

Inquiry by e-mail, telephone or fax
If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your inquiry including all resulting personal data (name, enquiry) will be used for the purpose of processing your request stored and processed by us. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

If you purchase goods or services from us and provide your e-mail address, this can subsequently be used by us to send a newsletter. In such a case, only direct advertising for our own similar goods or services will be sent via the newsletter. The legal basis for sending the newsletter is Art. 7 para. 3 UWG. The collection of the user’s e-mail address serves to deliver the newsletter. The collection of other personal data as part of the confirmation process acc. Section. 2 serves to prevent misuse of the services or the email address used. The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. The user’s e-mail address will therefore be stored for as long as you do not revoke the receipt of the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from receiving our e-mails at any time by clicking on the “Unsubscribe from newsletter” field in our newsletter binder or by sending us a text message (e-mail, letter or fax) to the contact details given in the imprint, from which it becomes apparent that you no longer wish to receive our promotional emails.

Newsletter dispatch via CleverReach

Our e-mail newsletter is sent via the technical service provider CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, Mühlenstr. 43, 26180 Rastede (“CleverReach”), to whom we pass on the data you provided when registering for the newsletter. This transfer takes place in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO and serves our legitimate interest in using an effective, secure and user-friendly newsletter system. The data you enter for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter (e.g. email address) will be stored on the CleverReach servers in Germany or Ireland.
CleverReach uses this information to send and statistically evaluate the newsletter on our behalf. For the evaluation, the newsletters sent by e-mail contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which represent one-pixel image files that are stored on our website. In this way it can be determined whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links, if any, have been clicked on. With the help of so-called conversion tracking, it can also be analyzed whether a previously defined action (e.g. purchase of a product on our website) took place after clicking on such links. Technical information is also recorded (e.g. time of retrieval, IP address, browser type and operating system). The data is collected exclusively in pseudonymised form and is not linked to your other personal data; direct personal reference is excluded. This data is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyzes can be used to better adapt future newsletters to the interests of the recipients. If you wish to object to the data analysis for statistical evaluation purposes, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter.
We have concluded an order processing contract with CleverReach, with which we oblige CleverReach to protect the data of our customers and not to pass it on to third parties. You can read more about CleverReach’s data analysis here:
