To optimise this website in relation to its system performance, user friendliness and the provision of useful information about our services, the provider of the website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server logfiles that your browser automatically transmits to us. This comprises the Internet Protocol address (IP address) of the accessing computer (including mobile devices), browser and language setting, operating system, referrer URL, your Internet service provider and the date/time.

This data is not merged with personal data sources. We reserve the right to check this data retrospectively if concrete indications of illegitimate use come to our knowledge and to pass on the data – if there has been a hacker attack – to law enforcement authorities. There is no passing on to third parties beyond this.

Legal basis: Art. 6 par. 1 line f GDPR

We have concluded a contract with Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), a company registered and operated according to Irish law (register number: 368047) with its head office at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. It can happen even so that data from Europe is transmitted to the USA, which we as a company cannot influence.

For the USA there is currently no resolution by the EU commission in accordance with Article 45 par. 1, 3 General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This means that the EU commission has not yet established whether the country-specific data protection standard of this country corresponds to that of the European Union in line with the GDPR (Article 46 suitable guarantees).

The GDPR sets out so-called suitable guarantees for data transmission to a third country or to an international organisation, Art. 46 par. 2, 3 GDPR. These are not given for the aforementioned destination country.

Potential risks that cannot currently be excluded for you as a data subject in relation to the aforementioned information are in particular:

• Your personal data could possibly be passed on by Google USA to other third parties (e.g. American authorities) beyond the actual purpose of order fulfilment.

• You may not be able to exert your right to access to information from Google USA.

• There may be a higher likelihood that incorrect data processing can occur, as the technical and organisational measures for protecting personal data do not correspond quantitatively and qualitatively to the full extent to the GDPR requirements.

With your consent to the processing of (advertising and marketing) cookies, you are explicitly agreeing to data transmission to the USA. You can withdraw this extent at any time by e-mail. The data processing that took place before the withdrawal of your consent is not affected by the revocation and is therefore in conformity with the law.
