General Terms and Conditions of Optonic GmbH (AGB)
§ 1 Scope of application
(1) These General Terms and Conditions shall apply exclusively and only to entrepreneurs, legal entities under public law or special funds under public law within the meaning of § 310 paragraph 1 BGB (German Civil Code). We shall only recognize terms and conditions of the customer that conflict with or deviate from our terms and conditions if we expressly agree to their validity in writing.
(2) These General Terms and Conditions of Business shall also apply to all future transactions with the Purchaser, insofar as these are legal transactions of a related nature.
§ 2 Offer and conclusion of contract
Insofar as an order is to be regarded as an offer in accordance with § 145 of the German Civil Code (BGB), we may accept it within two weeks. Our offers are subject to change and can be revoked by us up to the time of order confirmation, unless we have bound ourselves for a certain period of time in the offer. Performance data in our offers are to be understood as approximate values and are only binding as such. Changes to the subject matter of the contract by us are permissible insofar as this is reasonable for the customer.
§ 3 Documents provided
We reserve the property rights and copyrights to all documents provided to the customer in connection with the placing of the order, e.g. plans, calculations, drawings, etc. These documents may not be made accessible to third parties unless we give our express written consent to do so. If a contract is not concluded, these documents must be returned to us without delay or (if provided in electronic formats) deletet throughout all data processing and storage systems of the recipient.
§ 4 Prices and Payment
(1) Unless otherwise agreed in writing, our prices shall apply ex Freiburg (Germany), excluding shipping costs, packaging and plus value added tax at the applicable rate.
Costs of packaging will be invoiced separately. Unless otherwise instructed by the Purchaser in writing and in good time, we shall insure the items against damage in transit for the benefit of the Purchaser at the latter's expense.
(2) Payment of the purchase price and all ancillary costs shall be made exclusively to the accounts specified on the invoice. The deduction of a cash discount is only permissible with a special written agreement.
(3) Unless otherwise agreed, the purchase price shall be paid within 10 days of delivery. Interest on arrears shall be charged at a rate of 9 percentage points above the respective base interest rate p.a.. We reserve the right to claim higher damages for default.
(4) Unless a fixed price agreement has been made, we reserve the right to make reasonable price changes due to changes in wage, material and distribution costs for deliveries made 3 months or more after conclusion of the contract.
§ 5 Offsetting and rights of retention
The Purchaser shall only have the right of set-off if his counterclaims have been legally established or are undisputed. The customer shall only be entitled to exercise a right of retention insofar as his counterclaim is based on the same contractual relationship.
§ 6 Delivery time
(1) The start of the delivery period stated by us shall be understood as an expected delivery date and shall be subject to the timely and proper fulfillment of the Purchaser's obligations. We reserve the right to plead non-performance of the contract.
(2) If the customer is in default of acceptance or culpably violates other obligations to cooperate, we shall be entitled to demand compensation for the damage incurred by us in this respect, including any additional expenses. We reserve the right to assert further claims.
If the above conditions are met, the risk of accidental loss or accidental deterioration of the purchased goods shall pass to the customer at the point in time at which the customer is in default of acceptance or debtor's delay.
§ 7 Transfer of risk in case of shipment
If the goods are shipped to the Purchaser at the Purchaser's request, the risk of accidental loss or accidental deterioration of the goods shall pass to the Purchaser upon dispatch to the Purchaser, at the latest upon leaving the factory or warehouse. This shall apply irrespective of whether the goods are dispatched from the place of performance and who bears the freight costs.
§ 8 Retention of title
(1) We reserve title to the delivered goods until full payment of all claims arising from the delivery contract. This shall also apply to all future deliveries, even if we do not always expressly refer to this. The transfer of ownership by way of security or pledging of the goods subject to retention of title is not permitted. We shall be entitled to take back the purchased goods if the customer acts in breach of contract. In case of doubt, the assertion of our reservation of title shall not be deemed a withdrawal from the contract.
(2) As long as the title has not yet passed to the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall be obliged to treat the object of sale with care. In particular, he shall be obliged to insure it adequately at his own expense against theft, fire and water damage at replacement value. If maintenance and inspection work has to be carried out, the Purchaser shall carry this out in good time at its own expense. As long as ownership has not yet been transferred, the customer must inform us immediately in writing if the delivered item is seized or exposed to other interventions by third parties. Insofar as the third party is not in a position to reimburse us for the court and out-of-court costs of an action pursuant to § 771 ZPO (German Code of Civil Procedure), the purchaser shall be liable for the loss incurred by us.
(3) The purchaser shall be entitled to resell the reserved goods in the normal course of business. The Purchaser hereby assigns to us the claims of the customer arising from the resale of the goods subject to retention of title in the amount of the final invoice amount agreed with us (including value added tax).
This assignment shall apply irrespective of whether the purchased goods have been resold without or after processing. The customer shall remain authorized to collect the claim even after the assignment. Our authority to collect the claim ourselves shall remain unaffected. However, we shall not collect the claim as long as the customer meets his payment obligations from the proceeds collected, is not in default of payment and, in particular, no application for the opening of insolvency proceedings has been filed or payments have not been suspended.
(4) The processing or transformation of the object of sale by the customer shall always be carried out in our name and on our behalf. In this case, the purchaser's expectant right to the object of sale shall continue to apply to the transformed object. If the object of sale is processed with other objects not belonging to us, we shall acquire co-ownership of the new object in the ratio of the objective value of our object of sale to the other processed objects at the time of processing. The same shall apply in the event of mixing. If the mixing takes place in such a way that the item of the customer is to be regarded as the main item, it shall be deemed agreed that the customer transfers co-ownership to us on a pro rata basis and shall keep the sole ownership or co-ownership thus created for us.
(5) We undertake to release the securities to which we are entitled at the request of the customer insofar as their value exceeds the claims to be secured by more than 20%.
§ 9 Liability for Defects, Notice of Defects and Recourse, Manufacturer's Recourse
(1) Warranty rights of the purchaser presuppose that the purchaser has duly complied with its obligations to inspect the goods and to give notice of defects in accordance with § 377 of the German Commercial Code (HGB).
(2) Claims for defects shall become statute-barred 12 months after delivery of the goods supplied by us to our customer. The limitation period in the case of a delivery recourse according to §§ 478, 479 BGB remains unaffected. Claims for damages due to a defect shall be governed by § 10 below. Our consent must be obtained prior to any return of goods.
(3) If, despite all due care and attention, the delivered goods show a defect which was already present at the time of the transfer of risk, we shall, at our discretion, either repair the goods or deliver replacement goods, subject to timely notification of defects. We shall be entitled to remedy the defect three times. We shall always be given the opportunity to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time. Claims under a right of recourse shall remain unaffected by the above provision without restriction.
(4) If the subsequent performance fails, the Purchaser may - without prejudice to any claims for damages - withdraw from the contract or reduce the remuneration.
(5) Claims for defects shall not exist in the case of only insignificant deviation from the agreed quality, in the case of only insignificant impairment of usability, in the case of natural wear and tear and in the case of damage arising after the transfer of risk as a result of incorrect or negligent handling, excessive stress, unsuitable operating resources or due to particular external influences which are not assumed under the contract. If improper repair work or modifications are carried out by the Purchaser or third parties, there shall also be no claims for defects for these and the resulting consequences.
(6) Claims of the Purchaser for additional expenses for the purpose of subsequent performance arising from the fact that the goods delivered by us have subsequently been taken to a place other than the Purchaser's place of business shall be excluded.
(7) The Purchaser's right of recourse against us shall exist only to the extent that the Purchaser has not entered into any agreements with its customer exceeding the statutory mandatory claims for defects. Furthermore, the aforementioned shall apply accordingly to the scope of the Purchaser's right of recourse against the Supplier.
(8) The customer does not receive any guarantees in the legal sense from us.
§ 10 Liability for Damages
(1) Our liability for breaches of contractual obligations and for tort shall be limited to intent and gross negligence. This shall not apply in the case of injury to life, body and health of the customer, claims for breach of cardinal obligations and compensation for damage caused by delay (§ 286 BGB). In this respect, we shall be liable for any degree of fault. However, as far as damages are concerned which do not result from the injury of life, body and health of the customer, we shall only be liable for the typically occurring damage. Liability in the event of a delay in delivery shall be limited to 0.5% of the value of the delivery for each full week of delay within the framework of a lump-sum compensation for delay, but not more than 5% of the value of the delivery. A prior reasonable setting of a deadline by the Purchaser shall be a prerequisite for the claim.
(2) The aforementioned exclusion of liability shall also apply to slight breaches of duty by our vicarious agents.
(3) Insofar as liability for damages not based on injury to life, body and health of the customer is not excluded for slight negligence, such claims shall become statute-barred within one year beginning with the accrual of the claim or, in the case of claims for damages due to a defect, from the handover of the item.
(4) Insofar as our liability for damages is excluded or limited, this shall also apply with regard to the personal liability for damages of our employees, representatives and vicarious agents.
§ 11 Individual and standard software
In addition to the previous provisions, the following is agreed for the delivery of standard and individual software by us.
The Purchaser shall only use data carriers, equipment and other device-specific accessories which we have approved for use by including them in our delivery offer.
The Purchaser shall receive a non-exclusive right to use the software for an unlimited period of time. However, he shall only be entitled to use the software within the purpose of use on which the contract is based. In particular, he shall not be permitted to pass on (in any form whatsoever) or transfer the software, insofar as it is individual software, to third parties for the purpose of exploration, modification or further development. He shall ensure that this agreement is also observed by his employees or third parties.
§ 12 Miscellaneous
(1) This Agreement and the entire legal relationship between the Parties shall be governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
(2) The place of performance and exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract shall be our registered office, unless otherwise stated in the order confirmation.
(3) Amendments and supplements to this contract must be made in writing. This shall also apply to amendments to this written form clause. Verbal collateral agreements have not been made.
(4) Should individual provisions of this contract be or become invalid or contain a loophole, the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.

The provider uses a link on the website to the social networks listed below.
The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The provider has a legitimate interest in improving the quality of use of the website.
The plugins are integrated via a linked graphic. Only by clicking on the corresponding graphic is the user redirected to the service of the respective social network.
Once the customer has been redirected, the respective network collects information about the user. This is initially data such as IP address, date, time and page visited. If the user is logged into their user account on the respective network during this time, the network operator may be able to assign the information collected about the user's specific visit to the user's personal account. If the user interacts via a ‘Share’ button of the respective network, this information can be stored in the user's personal user account and published if necessary. If the user wants to prevent the collected information from being directly assigned to their user account, the user must log out before clicking on the graphic. It is also possible to configure the respective user account accordingly.
The following social networks are linked by the provider:
We use Google Analytics on our website. This is a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as ‘Google’.
The Google Analytics service is used to analyse the usage behaviour of our website. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our website.
Usage and user-related information, such as IP address, location, time or frequency of visits to our website, is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, we use Google Analytics with the so-called anonymisation function. This function allows Google to truncate the IP address within the EU or EEA.
The data collected in this way is in turn used by Google to provide us with an analysis of the visit to our website and the usage activities there. This data can also be used to provide other services related to the use of our website and the use of the Internet.
Google states that it will not associate your IP address with any other data. In addition, Google keeps under:
a so-called deactivation add-on along with further information on this. This add-on can be installed with the most common Internet browsers and offers you further control over the data that Google collects when you visit our website. The add-on informs the JavaScript (ga.js) of Google Analytics that information about your visit to our website should not be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analysis services. You can of course also find out whether and which other web analysis services we use in this privacy policy.
We use Google Maps on our website to display our location and to provide directions. This is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as ‘Google’.
In order to enable the display of certain fonts on our website, a connection to the Google server in the USA is established when our website is accessed.
If you call up the Google Maps component integrated into our website, Google stores a cookie on your end device via your Internet browser. Your user settings and data are processed in order to display our location and provide directions. We cannot rule out the possibility that Google uses servers in the USA.
If you have given your consent for this processing, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The legal basis may also be Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in optimising the functionality of our website.
The connection to Google established in this way enables Google to determine from which website your enquiry has been sent and to which IP address the directions are to be transmitted.
If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the installation of cookies by making the appropriate settings in your Internet browser. Details on this can be found above under ‘Cookies’.
In addition, the use of Google Maps and the information obtained via Google Maps is governed by the Google Terms of Use https://policies.google.com/terms?gl=DE&hl=de and the Terms and Conditions for Google Maps https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps.html.
We use “Vimeo” on our website to display videos. This is a service provided by Vimeo, LL C, 555 West 18 th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA, hereinafter referred to as “Vimeo”.
Some of the user data is processed on Vimeo servers in the USA.
If you have given your consent for this processing, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The legal basis may also be Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website.
If you visit a page of our website in which a video is embedded, a connection to the Vimeo servers in the USA is established to display the video. For technical reasons, it is necessary for Vimeo to process your IP address. In addition, the date and time of your visit to our website are also recorded.
If you are logged in to Vimeo at the same time as you visit one of our websites in which a Vimeo video is embedded, Vimeo may assign the information collected in this way to your personal user account there. If you wish to prevent this, you must either log out of Vimeo before visiting our website or configure your Vimeo user account accordingly.
Vimeo uses the web analysis service Google Analytics for the purpose of functionality and usage analysis. Google Analytics stores cookies on your end device via your Internet browser and sends information about the use of our Internet pages in which a Vimeo video is embedded to Google. It cannot be ruled out that Google will process this information in the USA.
If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the installation of cookies by making the appropriate settings in your Internet browser. Details on this can be found above under “Cookies”.
The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the quality improvement of our website and in the legitimate interest of Vimeo to statistically analyze user behavior for optimization and marketing purposes.
We use YouTube on our website. This is a video portal of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as “YouTube”.
We use YouTube in connection with the “extended data protection mode” function in order to be able to show you videos. If you have given your consent for this processing, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The legal basis may also be Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website. According to YouTube, the “Enhanced Privacy Mode” function means that the data described in more detail below is only transmitted to the YouTube server when you actually start a video.
Without this “extended data protection mode”, a connection to the YouTube server in the USA is established as soon as you access one of our web pages on which a YouTube video is embedded.
This connection is necessary in order to be able to display the respective video on our website via your Internet browser. In the course of this, YouTube will at least record and process your IP address, the date and time and the website you have visited. In addition, a connection is established to Google's “DoubleClick” advertising network.
If you are logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube will assign the connection information to your YouTube account. If you wish to prevent this, you must either log out of YouTube before visiting our website or make the appropriate settings in your YouTube user account.
For the purpose of functionality and analysis of user behavior, YouTube permanently stores cookies on your end device via your Internet browser. If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the storage of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. You can find more information on this above under “Cookies”.

Description and purpose: We use rapidmail to send newsletters. The provider is rapidmail GmbH, Wentzingerstraße 21, 79106 Freiburg, Germany. Among other things, rapidmail is used to organize and analyse the sending of newsletters. The data you enter for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter is stored on rapidmail's servers in Germany. If you do not wish to be analyzed by rapidmail, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message. For the purpose of analysis, the emails sent with rapidmail contain a so-called tracking pixel, which connects to the rapidmail servers when the email is opened. In this way, it can be determined whether a newsletter message has been opened. We can also use rapidmail to determine whether and which links in the newsletter message have been clicked on. Optionally, links in the email can be set as tracking links, with which your clicks can be counted.
Legal basis: The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.
Recipient: The recipient of the data is rapidmail GmbH.
Transfer to third countries: Data will not be transferred to third countries.
Duration: The data stored by us as part of your consent for the purpose of the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and deleted from both our servers and the servers of rapidmail after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes (e.g. email addresses for the member area) remain unaffected by this.
Revocation option: You have the option of revoking your consent to data processing at any time with effect for the future. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.

This website is using cookies to provide a good browsing experience
These include essential cookies that are necessary for the operation of the site, as well as others that are used only for anonymous statistical purposes, for comfort settings or to display personalized content. You can decide for yourself which categories you want to allow. Please note that based on your settings, not all functions of the website may be available.
It is possible to use our website without providing personal data. Different regulations may apply to the use of individual services on our website, which are explained separately below. Your personal data (e.g. name, address, email, telephone number, etc.) will only be processed by us in accordance with the provisions of the applicable data protection law (see below). In general, Optonic GmbH does not handle personal data. Data is personal if it can be clearly assigned to a specific natural person.
Personal data (hereinafter mostly referred to as ‘data’) is only processed by us to the extent necessary and for the purpose of providing a functional and user-friendly website, including its content and the services offered there.
According to Article 4(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, i.e. the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as ‘GDPR’), ‘processing’ means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
With the following privacy policy, we provide information in particular about the type, scope, purpose, duration and legal basis of the processing of personal data, insofar as we decide either alone or together with others on the purposes and means of processing. In addition, we inform you below about the third-party components we use for optimisation purposes and to increase the quality of use, insofar as third parties process data on their own responsibility.
Optonic GmbH has appointed an independent, external data protection officer to monitor Optonic's compliance with the applicable laws and regulations on data protection (GDPR, European and German laws, BDSG). As a visitor to our website, you can contact the data protection officer if you have the impression that we are violating these laws and regulations or if you have any questions about our handling of personal data.
When contacting the data protection officer, please state the company to which your enquiry relates. Please refrain from enclosing sensitive information such as a copy of your ID with your enquiry.
With regard to the data processing described in more detail below, users and data subjects have the right
to confirmation as to whether data concerning them is being processed, to information about the processed data, to further information about the data processing and to copies of the data (cf. also Art. 15 GDPR)
to rectification or completion of incorrect or incomplete data (see also Art. 16 GDPR);
the immediate erasure of the data concerning them (see also Art. 17 GDPR) or, alternatively, if further processing is required in accordance with Art. 17 para. 3 GDPR, the restriction of processing in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR;
to receive the data concerning them and provided by them and to transfer this data to other providers/controllers (cf. also Art. 20 GDPR)
to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority if they believe that the data concerning them is being processed by the provider in breach of data protection regulations (see also Art. 77 GDPR).
In addition, the provider is obliged to inform all recipients to whom data has been disclosed by the provider of any correction or deletion of data or the restriction of processing that takes place on the basis of Articles 16, 17 para. 1, 18 GDPR. However, this obligation does not apply if this notification is impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. Notwithstanding this, the user has a right to information about these recipients.
Users and data subjects also have the right to object to the future processing of data concerning them in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR, provided that the data is processed by the provider in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. In particular, an objection to data processing for the purpose of direct advertising is permitted.
Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies, the deletion of the data does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations and no other information is provided below on individual processing methods.
The provider (Strato AG, see below) uses a cookie manager to obtain consent for the use of technically unnecessary cookies on the website.
When the website is accessed, a cookie with the settings information is stored on the user's end device so that the query regarding consent does not have to be made on a subsequent visit.
The cookie is required to obtain the user's legally compliant consent.
The user can prevent or stop the installation of cookies by changing the settings in their browser.
We use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are placed and stored on your end device by the Internet browser you use. These cookies are used to process certain information from you, such as your browser or location data or your IP address, on an individual basis.
This processing makes our website more user-friendly, effective and secure, as the processing enables, for example, the reproduction of our website in different languages or the offer of a shopping basket function.
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, insofar as these cookies process data for contract initiation or contract fulfilment.
If the processing does not serve to initiate or fulfil a contract, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis in this case is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
These session cookies are deleted when you close your Internet browser.
b) Third-party cookies
Our website may also use cookies from partner companies with whom we work for the purposes of advertising, analysing or the functionalities of our website.
Please refer to the following information for details, in particular the purposes and legal basis for processing such third-party cookies.
c) Removal option
You can prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by changing the settings of your Internet browser. You can also delete cookies that have already been saved at any time. However, the steps and measures required for this depend on the specific Internet browser you are using. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your Internet browser or contact its manufacturer or support. In the case of so-called Flash cookies, however, processing cannot be prevented via the browser settings. Instead, you must change the settings of your Flash player. The steps and measures required for this also depend on the specific Flash player you are using. If you have any questions, please also use the help function or documentation of your Flash player or contact the manufacturer or user support. For security reasons, we advise against using a Flash player.
However, if you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, this may mean that not all functions of our website can be used to their full extent.
If you contact us via contact form or email, the data you provide will be used to process your enquiry. The provision of the data is necessary for processing and answering your enquiry - without it we cannot answer your enquiry or can only answer it to a limited extent.
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
Your data will be deleted if your enquiry has been conclusively answered and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations, such as in the case of any subsequent contract processing.
If you register for our free newsletter, the data requested from you for this purpose, i.e. your email address and - optionally - your name and address, will be transmitted to us. At the same time, we store the IP address of the Internet connection from which you access our website as well as the date and time of your registration. As part of the further registration process, we will obtain your consent to send you the newsletter, describe the content in detail and refer you to this privacy policy. We use the data collected in this process exclusively for sending the newsletter - in particular, it is therefore not passed on to third parties.
The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.
You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time with effect for the future in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR. All you have to do is, inform us of your cancellation or click on the unsubscribe link contained in every newsletter.
We offer you the opportunity to apply for a job with us via our website. For these digital applications, we collect and process your applicant and application data electronically to handle the application process.
The legal basis for this processing is Section 26 (1) sentence 1 BDSG in conjunction with Art. 88 (1) GDPR. Art. 88 para. 1 GDPR.
If an employment contract is concluded after the application procedure, we will store the data you submitted during the application in your personnel file for the purpose of the usual organisational and administrative process - of course in compliance with further legal obligations.
The legal basis for this processing is also Section 26 para. 1 sentence 1 BDSG in conjunction with Art. 88 para. 1 GDPR. Art. 88 para. 1 GDPR.
If an application is rejected, we automatically delete the data transmitted to us within a maximum of two months after notification of the rejection. However, the data will not be deleted if the data requires longer storage of up to four months or until the conclusion of legal proceedings due to legal provisions, e.g. due to the burden of proof under the AGG.
In this case, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR and Section 24 para. 1 no. 2 BDSG. Our legitimate interest lies in legal defence or enforcement.
If you expressly consent to your data being stored for a longer period of time, e.g. for your inclusion in a database of applicants or interested parties, the data will be processed further on the basis of your consent. The legal basis is then Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. However, you can of course revoke your consent at any time in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR by making a declaration to us with effect for the future.
For technical reasons, in particular to ensure a secure and stable Internet presence, data is transmitted to us or to our web space provider by your Internet browser. With these so-called server log files, the type and version of your Internet browser, the operating system, the website from which you have switched to our Internet presence (referrer URL), the website(s) of our Internet presence that you visit, the date and time of the respective access and the IP address of the Internet connection from which our Internet presence is used are collected, among other things.
The data collected in this way is stored temporarily, but not together with other data about you.
This storage takes place on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality and security of our website.
The data will be deleted after seven days at the latest, unless further storage is required for evidence purposes. Otherwise, the data is excluded from deletion in whole or in part until an incident has been finally clarified.
This website is hosted by the German provider Strato. Strato AG is a processor within the meaning of Art. 28 of the GDPR and has concluded a corresponding ‘order processing contract’ (AVV) with us: https://www.strato.de/agb/avv/
Strato hosts all websites, including ours, exclusively on web servers in Germany, so that the GDPR applies without restriction. Details on the handling of personal data can be found in Strato AG's privacy policy: https://www.strato.de/datenschutz/
The legal basis for data processing by Strato AG results from Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR and further paragraphs of the GDPR.
The data transmitted by you to utilise our range of goods and/or services is processed by us for the purpose of contract processing and is required in this respect. Conclusion and fulfilment of the contract are not possible without the provision of your data.
The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
We delete the data once the contract has been fully processed, but must observe the retention periods under tax and commercial law.
As part of the contract processing, we pass on your data to the transport company commissioned with the delivery of goods or to the financial service provider, insofar as the transfer is necessary for the delivery of goods or for payment purposes.
The legal basis for the transfer of data is then Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
We maintain an online presence on LinkedIn to present our company and our services and to communicate with customers/prospects. LinkedIn is a service of LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, a subsidiary of LinkedIn Corporation, 1000 W. Maude Avenue, Sunnyvale, CA 94085, USA.
In this respect, we would like to point out that there is a possibility that user data may be processed outside the European Union, in particular in the USA. This may result in increased risks for users in that, for example, subsequent access to user data may be made more difficult. We also have no access to this user data. The access option lies exclusively with LinkedIn.
We maintain an online presence on YouTube to present our company and our services and to communicate with customers/prospects. YouTube is a service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, a subsidiary of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA.
In this respect, we would like to point out that there is a possibility that user data may be processed outside the European Union, in particular in the USA. This may result in increased risks for users in that, for example, subsequent access to user data may be made more difficult. We also have no access to this user data. The access option lies exclusively with YouTube.
The provider uses a link on the website to the social networks listed below.
The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The provider has a legitimate interest in improving the quality of use of the website.
The plugins are integrated via a linked graphic. Only by clicking on the corresponding graphic is the user redirected to the service of the respective social network.
Once the customer has been redirected, the respective network collects information about the user. This is initially data such as IP address, date, time and page visited. If the user is logged into their user account on the respective network during this time, the network operator may be able to assign the information collected about the user's specific visit to the user's personal account. If the user interacts via a ‘Share’ button of the respective network, this information can be stored in the user's personal user account and published if necessary. If the user wants to prevent the collected information from being directly assigned to their user account, the user must log out before clicking on the graphic. It is also possible to configure the respective user account accordingly.
The following social networks are linked by the provider:
We use Google Analytics on our website. This is a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as ‘Google’.
The Google Analytics service is used to analyse the usage behaviour of our website. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our website.
Usage and user-related information, such as IP address, location, time or frequency of visits to our website, is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, we use Google Analytics with the so-called anonymisation function. This function allows Google to truncate the IP address within the EU or EEA.
The data collected in this way is in turn used by Google to provide us with an analysis of the visit to our website and the usage activities there. This data can also be used to provide other services related to the use of our website and the use of the Internet.
Google states that it will not associate your IP address with any other data. In addition, Google keeps under:
a so-called deactivation add-on along with further information on this. This add-on can be installed with the most common Internet browsers and offers you further control over the data that Google collects when you visit our website. The add-on informs the JavaScript (ga.js) of Google Analytics that information about your visit to our website should not be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analysis services. You can of course also find out whether and which other web analysis services we use in this privacy policy.
We use Google Maps on our website to display our location and to provide directions. This is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as ‘Google’.
In order to enable the display of certain fonts on our website, a connection to the Google server in the USA is established when our website is accessed.
If you call up the Google Maps component integrated into our website, Google stores a cookie on your end device via your Internet browser. Your user settings and data are processed in order to display our location and provide directions. We cannot rule out the possibility that Google uses servers in the USA.
If you have given your consent for this processing, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The legal basis may also be Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in optimising the functionality of our website.
The connection to Google established in this way enables Google to determine from which website your enquiry has been sent and to which IP address the directions are to be transmitted.
If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the installation of cookies by making the appropriate settings in your Internet browser. Details on this can be found above under ‘Cookies’.
In addition, the use of Google Maps and the information obtained via Google Maps is governed by the Google Terms of Use https://policies.google.com/terms?gl=DE&hl=de and the Terms and Conditions for Google Maps https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps.html.
We use “Vimeo” on our website to display videos. This is a service provided by Vimeo, LL C, 555 West 18 th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA, hereinafter referred to as “Vimeo”.
Some of the user data is processed on Vimeo servers in the USA.
If you have given your consent for this processing, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The legal basis may also be Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website.
If you visit a page of our website in which a video is embedded, a connection to the Vimeo servers in the USA is established to display the video. For technical reasons, it is necessary for Vimeo to process your IP address. In addition, the date and time of your visit to our website are also recorded.
If you are logged in to Vimeo at the same time as you visit one of our websites in which a Vimeo video is embedded, Vimeo may assign the information collected in this way to your personal user account there. If you wish to prevent this, you must either log out of Vimeo before visiting our website or configure your Vimeo user account accordingly.
Vimeo uses the web analysis service Google Analytics for the purpose of functionality and usage analysis. Google Analytics stores cookies on your end device via your Internet browser and sends information about the use of our Internet pages in which a Vimeo video is embedded to Google. It cannot be ruled out that Google will process this information in the USA.
If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the installation of cookies by making the appropriate settings in your Internet browser. Details on this can be found above under “Cookies”.
The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the quality improvement of our website and in the legitimate interest of Vimeo to statistically analyze user behavior for optimization and marketing purposes.
We use YouTube on our website. This is a video portal of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as “YouTube”.
We use YouTube in connection with the “extended data protection mode” function in order to be able to show you videos. If you have given your consent for this processing, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The legal basis may also be Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website. According to YouTube, the “Enhanced Privacy Mode” function means that the data described in more detail below is only transmitted to the YouTube server when you actually start a video.
Without this “extended data protection mode”, a connection to the YouTube server in the USA is established as soon as you access one of our web pages on which a YouTube video is embedded.
This connection is necessary in order to be able to display the respective video on our website via your Internet browser. In the course of this, YouTube will at least record and process your IP address, the date and time and the website you have visited. In addition, a connection is established to Google's “DoubleClick” advertising network.
If you are logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube will assign the connection information to your YouTube account. If you wish to prevent this, you must either log out of YouTube before visiting our website or make the appropriate settings in your YouTube user account.
For the purpose of functionality and analysis of user behavior, YouTube permanently stores cookies on your end device via your Internet browser. If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the storage of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. You can find more information on this above under “Cookies”.
Google provides further information about the collection and use of data as well as your rights and protection options in this regard in the privacy policy available at
If you subscribe to our company's newsletter, the data in the respective input mask will be transmitted to the controller. Subscription to our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registering, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no-one can register with other people's email addresses. When registering for the newsletter, the user's IP address and the date and time of registration are stored. This serves to prevent misuse of the services or the email address of the person concerned. The data is not passed on to third parties. An exception is made if there is a legal obligation to pass on the data. The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter. Subscription to the newsletter can be terminated by the data subject at any time. Consent to the storage of personal data can also be revoked at any time. There is a corresponding link for this purpose in every newsletter. The legal basis for the processing of data after registration for the newsletter by the user is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR if the user has given consent. The legal basis for sending the newsletter as a result of the sale of goods or services is Section 7 (3) UWG
