3. Data
collection on our website

Cookies

Some of our
web pages use cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain any
viruses. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, efficient, and
secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved
by your browser.

Most of the
cookies we use are so-called "session cookies." They are
automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain in your device's
memory until you delete them. These cookies make it possible to recognize your
browser when you next visit the site.

You can
configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can
decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept or reject a cookie.
Alternatively, your browser can be configured to automatically accept cookies
under certain conditions or to always reject them, or to automatically delete
cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the
functionality of this website.

Cookies
which are necessary to allow electronic communications or to provide certain
functions you wish to use (such as the shopping cart) are stored pursuant to
Art. 6 paragraph 1, letter f of DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate
interest in the storage of cookies to ensure an optimized service provided free
of technical errors. If other cookies (such as those used to analyze your
surfing behavior) are also stored, they will be treated separately in this
privacy policy.

Server log
files

The website
provider automatically collects and stores information that your browser
automatically transmits to us in "server log files". These are:

•             Browser type and browser version

•             Operating system used

•             Referrer URL

•             Host name of the accessing computer

•             Time of the server request

•             IP address

These data
will not be combined with data from other sources.

The basis
for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO, which allows the processing of
data to fulfill a contract or for measures preliminary to a contract.

Contact
form

Should you
send us questions via the contact form, we will collect the data entered on the
form, including the contact details you provide, to answer your question and
any follow-up questions. We do not share this information without your permission.

We will,
therefore, process any data you enter onto the contact form only with your
consent per Art. 6 (1)(a) DSGVO. You may revoke your consent at any time. An
informal email making this request is sufficient. The data processed before we
receive your request may still be legally processed.

We will
retain the data you provide on the contact form until you request its deletion,
revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer
pertains (e.g. after fulfilling your request). Any mandatory statutory
provisions, especially those regarding mandatory data retention periods, remain
unaffected by this provision.

4.
Analytics and advertising

Google
Analytics

This
website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service. It is operated by
Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google
Analytics uses so-called "cookies". These are text files that are
stored on your computer and that allow an analysis of the use of the website by
you. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is
usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Google
Analytics cookies are stored based on Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. The website
operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both
its website and its advertising.

IP
anonymization

We have
activated the IP anonymization feature on this website. Your IP address will be
shortened by Google within the European Union or other parties to the Agreement
on the European Economic Area prior to transmission to the United States. Only
in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to a Google server in the US
and shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator
of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on
website activity, and to provide other services regarding website activity and
Internet usage for the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your
browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with any other data held
by Google.

Browser
plugin

You can
prevent these cookies being stored by selecting the appropriate settings in
your browser. However, we wish to point out that doing so may mean you will not
be able to enjoy the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent
the data generated by cookies about your use of the website (incl. your IP
address) from being passed to Google, and the processing of these data by
Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the
following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

Objecting to
the collection of data

Outsourced
data processing

We have
entered into an agreement with Google for the outsourcing of our data
processing and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data
protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

5.
Newsletter

Newsletter
data

If you
would like to receive our newsletter, we require a valid email address as well
as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified
email address and that you agree to receive this newsletter. No additional data
is collected or is only collected on a voluntary basis. We only use this data
to send the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

We will,
therefore, process any data you enter onto the contact form only with your
consent per Art. 6 (1) (a) DSGVO. You can revoke consent to the storage of your
data and email address as well as their use for sending the newsletter at any
time, e.g. through the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The data
processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.

The data
provided when registering for the newsletter will be used to distribute the
newsletter until you cancel your subscription when said data will be deleted.
Data we have stored for other purposes (e.g. email addresses for the members
area) remain unaffected.

Newsletter2Go

This
website uses Newsletter2Go to send newsletters. The provider of this service is
Newsletter2Go GmbH, Nürnberger Straße 8, 10787 Berlin, Germany.

Newsletter2Go
is a service which organizes and analyzes the distribution of newsletters. The
data you provide to subscribe to our newsletter will be stored on Newsletter2Go
servers in Germany.

If you do
not want your usage of the newsletter to be analyzed by Newsletter2Go, you will
have to unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a link in
every newsletter we send. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly
on the website.

Data
analysis by Newsletter2Go

We use
Newsletter2Go to analyze our newsletter campaigns. This allows us to determine
if a newsletter message has been opened and which links you click on. We can
thus find out how often various links are clicked.

In
addition, we can see if certain actions take place after clicking on said links
(conversion rate). We can thus determine whether the clicking of a link in a
newsletter has led to a purchase, for example.

Newsletter2Go
also allows us to classify newsletter recipients into different categories
(clustering). For example, newsletter recipients can be subdivided according to
gender, personal preference (e.g. vegetarian or non-vegetarian), or customer
relationship (e.g. existing or potential customer). This allows us to adapt the
newsletters to the respective target groups.

For
detailed information on the functions of Newsletter2Go, see the following link:
https://www.newsletter2go.de/features/newsletter-software/.

Legal basis

Data processing
is based on Art. 6 (1) (a) DSGVO. You may revoke your consent at any time. The
data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.

Storage
duration

The data
provided when registering for the newsletter will be used to distribute the
newsletter until you cancel your subscription when said data will be deleted
from our servers and those of Newsletter2Go. Data we have stored for other
purposes (e.g. email addresses for the members area) remains unaffected.

For more
information, see the privacy policy of Newsletter2Go at
https://www.newsletter2go.de/features/datenschutz-2/.

Completion
of an outsourced data processing contract

entered into a data processing agreement with Newsletter2Go, in which we

said data to third parties. It can be downloaded here:

6. Plugins
and tools

Google Web
Fonts

For uniform
representation of fonts, this page uses web fonts provided by Google. When you
open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache
to display texts and fonts correctly.

For this
purpose your browser has to establish a direct connection to Google servers.
Google thus becomes aware that our web page was accessed via your IP address.
The use of Google Web fonts is done in the interest of a uniform and attractive
presentation of our website. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to
Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO.

If your
browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer.

information about handling user data, can be found at
https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy at
