If your contact aims to conclude a contract, then an additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after the final processing of your request, provided that it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and provided that there are no legal retention obligations to the contrary.

6) USAGE OF YOUR DATA FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING
6.1 Subscription to our Email Newsletter
If you subscribe to our email newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers. The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your email address. The provision of further optional data is voluntary and is used to address you personally. For sending the newsletter, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that we will only send you an email newsletter if you have explicitly confirmed that you consent to receiving the newsletter. We will then send you a confirmation email asking you to confirm by clicking on a corresponding link that you want to receive newsletters in the future.
By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent to use your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. When you sign up for the newsletter, we store the IP address you entered from your Internet Service Provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration to be able to trace any misuse of your email address at a later date. The data we collect when signing up for the newsletter is used exclusively for the purpose of advertising communication via the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link provided for this purpose in the newsletter or by sending a corresponding message to the responsible party mentioned at the beginning. After unsubscribing, your email address will be immediately deleted from our newsletter distribution list, provided you have not expressly consented to further use of your data or we have reserved a further data use that is legally permitted and of which we inform you in this declaration.
6.2 Sending the Email Newsletter to Existing Customers
If you have provided us with your email address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for similar goods or services as those already purchased from our range by email. We do not need to obtain separate consent from you for this. The data processing is based solely on our legitimate interest in personalized direct advertising in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If you initially objected to the use of your email address for this purpose, no email will be sent. You have the right to object to the use of your email address for the aforementioned advertising purpose at any time with effect for the future by notifying the responsible party mentioned at the beginning. For this, you will only incur transmission costs according to the basic rates. Upon receipt of your objection, the use of your email address for advertising purposes will be immediately discontinued.

For this purpose, your payment data may be passed on to credit agencies in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on PayPal's legitimate interest in assessing your creditworthiness. The result of the credit check concerning the statistical probability of payment default is used by PayPal for the purpose of deciding on the provision of the respective payment method. The credit report may contain probability values (so-called score values). If score values are included in the result of the credit report, they are based on a scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical procedure. The calculation of the score values includes, among other things, but is not limited to, address data.

10) ONLINE MARKETING
10.1 DoubleClick by Google
This website uses the online marketing tool DoubleClick by Google operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("DoubleClick").
DoubleClick uses cookies to serve relevant ads to users, improve campaign performance reports, or prevent a user from seeing the same ads multiple times. Through a cookie ID, Google records which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed multiple times. The processing is based on our legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our website in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
In addition, DoubleClick can use cookie IDs to collect "conversions" related to ad requests. This is the case when a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later visits the advertiser's website with the same browser and makes a purchase there. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain personal information.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server. We have no influence on the extent and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our current knowledge: By integrating DoubleClick, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our internet presence or clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or are not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider may learn and store your IP address.
If you wish to object to this tracking procedure, you can disable cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.googleadservices.com%2F&data=05%7C02%7C%7C83f1918d9b3941438bc808dce1c70030%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638633492040015099%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=82RAiLc%2FmpfB%2BecFG3%2BwqdvzBvIcpYCVFboMWdnOyj4%3D&reserved=0 (https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.googleadservices.com%2F&data=05%7C02%7C%7C83f1918d9b3941438bc808dce1c70030%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638633492040022018%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=XFGMwZNYiT%2Fdg1UaR5IVBynKYJTTM0Z9Ld%2FMsUx97ro%3D&reserved=0).

10.2 Use of Google AdWords Conversion Tracking
This website uses the online advertising program "Google AdWords" and within the framework of Google AdWords the conversion tracking of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). We use Google's AdWords service to attract attention to our attractive offers on external websites using advertisements (so-called Google AdWords). We can determine how successful individual advertising measures are in relation to the data from the advertising campaigns. We are pursuing the interest of showing you ads that are of interest to you, making our website more interesting for you, and achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs.
The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an AdWords ad placed by Google. Cookies are small text files stored on your computer system. These cookies generally expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, both Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page that contains a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that would allow them to identify users personally. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can block this use by disabling the cookie for Google conversion tracking via your Internet browser settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. We use Google AdWords based on our legitimate interest in targeted advertising in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

If your contact aims to conclude a contract, then an additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after the final processing of your request, provided that it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and provided that there are no legal retention obligations to the contrary.
5) DATA PROCESSING WHEN OPENING A CUSTOMER ACCOUNT AND FOR CONTRACT EXECUTION
In accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, personal data will be collected and processed if you provide us with this data for the execution of a contract or when opening a customer account.

6) USAGE OF YOUR DATA FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING
6.1 Subscription to our Email Newsletter
If you subscribe to our email newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers. The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your email address. The provision of further optional data is voluntary and is used to address you personally. For sending the newsletter, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that we will only send you an email newsletter if you have explicitly confirmed that you consent to receiving the newsletter. We will then send you a confirmation email asking you to confirm by clicking on a corresponding link that you want to receive newsletters in the future.
By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent to use your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. When you sign up for the newsletter, we store the IP address you entered from your Internet Service Provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration to be able to trace any misuse of your email address at a later date. The data we collect when signing up for the newsletter is used exclusively for the purpose of advertising communication via the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link provided for this purpose in the newsletter or by sending a corresponding message to the responsible party mentioned at the beginning. After unsubscribing, your email address will be immediately deleted from our newsletter distribution list, provided you have not expressly consented to further use of your data or we have reserved a further data use that is legally permitted and of which we inform you in this declaration.
6.2 Sending the Email Newsletter to Existing Customers
If you have provided us with your email address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for similar goods or services as those already purchased from our range by email. We do not need to obtain separate consent from you for this. The data processing is based solely on our legitimate interest in personalized direct advertising in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If you initially objected to the use of your email address for this purpose, no email will be sent. You have the right to object to the use of your email address for the aforementioned advertising purpose at any time with effect for the future by notifying the responsible party mentioned at the beginning. For this, you will only incur transmission costs according to the basic rates. Upon receipt of your objection, the use of your email address for advertising purposes will be immediately discontinued.
7) DATA PROCESSING FOR ORDER EXECUTION

When paying via PayPal, credit card via PayPal, direct debit via PayPal, or - if offered - "purchase on account" or “installment payment” via PayPal, we will pass your payment data on to PayPal (Europe) S.a.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter "PayPal") within the framework of payment processing.

PayPal reserves the right to conduct a credit check for payment methods such as credit card via PayPal, direct debit via PayPal, or - if offered - "purchase on account" or “installment payment” via PayPal. For this purpose, your payment data may be passed on to credit agencies in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on PayPal's legitimate interest in assessing your creditworthiness. The result of the credit check concerning the statistical probability of payment default is used by PayPal for the purpose of deciding on the provision of the respective payment method. The credit report may contain probability values (so-called score values). If score values are included in the result of the credit report, they are based on a scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical procedure. The calculation of the score values includes, among other things, but is not limited to, address data.

10) ONLINE MARKETING
10.1 DoubleClick by Google
This website uses the online marketing tool DoubleClick by Google operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("DoubleClick").
DoubleClick uses cookies to serve relevant ads to users, improve campaign performance reports, or prevent a user from seeing the same ads multiple times. Through a cookie ID, Google records which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed multiple times. The processing is based on our legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our website in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
In addition, DoubleClick can use cookie IDs to collect "conversions" related to ad requests. This is the case when a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later visits the advertiser's website with the same browser and makes a purchase there. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain personal information.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server. We have no influence on the extent and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our current knowledge: By integrating DoubleClick, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our internet presence or clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or are not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider may learn and store your IP address.
If you wish to object to this tracking procedure, you can disable cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.googleadservices.com%2F&data=05%7C02%7C%7C83f1918d9b3941438bc808dce1c70030%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638633492040015099%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=82RAiLc%2FmpfB%2BecFG3%2BwqdvzBvIcpYCVFboMWdnOyj4%3D&reserved=0 (https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.googleadservices.com%2F&data=05%7C02%7C%7C83f1918d9b3941438bc808dce1c70030%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638633492040022018%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=XFGMwZNYiT%2Fdg1UaR5IVBynKYJTTM0Z9Ld%2FMsUx97ro%3D&reserved=0).

10.2 Use of Google AdWords Conversion Tracking
This website uses the online advertising program "Google AdWords" and within the framework of Google AdWords the conversion tracking of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). We use Google's AdWords service to attract attention to our attractive offers on external websites using advertisements (so-called Google AdWords). We can determine how successful individual advertising measures are in relation to the data from the advertising campaigns. We are pursuing the interest of showing you ads that are of interest to you, making our website more interesting for you, and achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs.
The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an AdWords ad placed by Google. Cookies are small text files stored on your computer system. These cookies generally expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, both Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page that contains a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that would allow them to identify users personally. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can block this use by disabling the cookie for Google conversion tracking via your Internet browser settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. We use Google AdWords based on our legitimate interest in targeted advertising in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies," text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including your truncated IP address) is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
This website uses Google Analytics exclusively with the extension "_anonymiseIp()", which ensures the anonymisation of the IP address by truncation and excludes direct personal reference. By this extension, your IP address will be truncated by Google within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. In these exceptional cases, this processing occurs in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on our legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behavior for optimization and marketing purposes.
Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website usage and internet usage. The IP address transmitted within the framework of Google Analytics by your browser will not be merged with other Google data.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to fully utilize all features of this website.

This website also uses Google Analytics for cross-device analysis of visitor flows, which is conducted via a user ID. When you first visit a page, a unique, permanent, and anonymised ID is assigned to the user, which is set across devices. This allows interaction data from different devices and sessions to be assigned to a single user. The user ID does not contain personal data and does not transmit such data to Google.
You can object to the collection and storage of data via the user ID at any time with effect for the future. To do this, you must deactivate Google Analytics on all systems you use, for example, in a different browser or on your mobile device.

Facebook Custom Audience via the Pixel Method
This website uses the “Facebook Pixel” of Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA (“Facebook”). If you give explicit consent, user behavior can be tracked after they have seen or clicked on a Facebook ad. This procedure serves to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes and can help optimise future advertising measures.
The collected data are anonymous to us and thus do not allow us to draw conclusions about the identity of users.

These processing operations only occur if you have given explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
Consent to the use of the Facebook Pixel may only be given by users who are older than 13 years. If you are younger, please ask your parents for permission.

However, this right does not exist in particular if the processing is necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims;
- Right to Restriction of Processing according to Art. 18 GDPR: You have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data as long as the accuracy of your data disputed by you is being verified, if you refuse the deletion of your data due to unlawful data processing and instead request the restriction of processing your data, if you need your data for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims after we no longer need this data for the purposes of processing, or if you have objected to processing on grounds relating to your particular situation, as long as it is not yet determined whether our legitimate grounds override yours;
- Right to Notification according to Art. 19 GDPR: If you have asserted the right to rectification, deletion, or restriction of processing against the responsible party, they are obliged to inform all recipients to whom your personal data has been disclosed of this rectification or deletion of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.
