Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

With the following information, we would like to give you, as the "affected person", an overview of how we process your personal data and your rights under data protection laws. It is generally possible to use our website without entering personal data. However, if you wish to use special services offered by our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain your consent.

The processing of personal data, such as your name, address or email address, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to "Zeitlager City GmbH". With this privacy policy, we would like to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process.

As the person responsible for processing, we have implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible for the personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, meaning that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone or post.

You too can take simple and easy-to-implement measures to protect yourself against unauthorised access to your data by third parties. We would therefore like to take this opportunity to give you some tips on how to handle your data securely: - Protect your account (login, user or customer account) and your IT system (computer, laptop, tablet or mobile device) with secure passwords. - Only you should have access to the passwords. - Ensure that you only ever use your passwords for one account (login, user or customer account). - Do not use the same password for different websites, applications or online services. - Especially when using publicly accessible IT systems or those shared with other people, you should always log out after each session on a website, application or online service.

Passwords should consist of at least 12 characters and be chosen so that they cannot be easily guessed. Therefore, they should not contain common words from everyday life, your own name or the names of relatives, but should include upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters.

We would like to point out that no data protection officer needs to be appointed. Contact person for data protection: Christopher Mohr, Roland Tubbesing Email: dataprotection@bagbuddy24.com

4. Definitions

The privacy policy is based on the terminology used by the European legislators and regulators when enacting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy is intended to be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

In this privacy policy, we use the following terms, among others:

1. Personal data Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. A natural person is considered identifiable if they can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by association with an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one or more special characteristics that express the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

2. Affected person A affected person is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the responsible person (our company).

3. Processing Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, distribution or any other form of provision, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

4. Restriction of processing Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.

5. Profiling Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

6. Pseudonymisation Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific affected person without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

7. Processor A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

8. Recipient A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body to which personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.

9. Third party A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the affected person, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.

10. Consent Consent is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the affected person's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

5. Legal basis for processing

Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (in conjunction with Section 25(1) TTDSG) serves as the legal basis for our company for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.

If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of enquiries about our products or services.

If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the affected person or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our premises were to be injured and his or her name, age, health insurance details or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. In this case, processing would be based on Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR.

Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis covers processing operations that are not covered by any of the above legal bases if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the affected person do not override these interests. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, the legislator took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (Recital 47, sentence 2 of the GDPR).

Our offer is generally aimed at adults. Persons under the age of 16 may not transmit any personal data to us without the consent of their parents or legal guardians. We do not request personal data from children and young people, do not collect it and do not pass it on to third parties.

6. Transfer of data to third parties

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

We only pass on your personal data to third parties if:

1. you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, 2. the transfer is permissible under Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data, 3. there is a legal obligation to disclose the data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR, and 4. this is legally permissible and necessary for the performance of contractual relationships with you in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

In order to protect your data and, if necessary, enable us to transfer data to third countries (outside the EU/EEA), we have concluded agreements on order processing based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to ensure an adequate level of security, your consent pursuant to Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR may serve as the legal basis for the transfer to third countries. This does not apply to data transfers to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR.

7. Technology

7.1 SSL/TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login data or contact enquiries that you send to us as the operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser contains "https://" instead of "http://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

We use this technology to protect the data you transmit.

7.2 Data collection when visiting the website

When you use our website for informational purposes only, i.e. without registering or otherwise transmitting information to us, we only collect data that your browser transmits to our server (in so-called "server log files"). Our website collects a range of general data and information each time you or an automated system accesses a page. This general data and information is stored in the server's log files. The following may be recorded

1. browser types and versions used, 2. the operating system used by the accessing system, 3. the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer), 4. the sub-websites that are accessed on our website via an accessing system, 5. the date and time of access to the website, 6. an Internet Protocol address (IP address) and, 7. the Internet service provider of the accessing system.

We do not draw any conclusions about your person when using this general data and information. Rather, this information is required in order to

1. deliver the content of our website correctly, 2. optimise the content of our website and the advertising for it, 3. ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and 4. provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.

We therefore evaluate this collected data and information statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The data in the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a affected person.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes listed above for data collection.

7.3 Encrypted payment transactions

If, after concluding a contract that involves a charge, you are obliged to provide us with your payment details (e.g. your account number when issuing a direct debit authorisation), this data is required for payment processing.

Payment transactions using common payment methods (Visa/MasterCard or direct debit) are carried out exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

We use this technology to protect the data you transmit.

8. Cookies

8.1 General information about cookies

We use cookies on our website. These are small files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your IT system (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our site.

The cookie stores information that is related to the specific device used. However, this does not mean that we immediately obtain knowledge of your identity.

The use of cookies serves to make the use of our website more pleasant for you. For example, we use so-called session cookies to recognise that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site.

In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimise user-friendliness, which are stored on your device for a specific period of time. If you visit our site again to use our services, it will automatically recognise that you have already been with us and what entries and settings you have made, so that you do not have to enter them again.

We also use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate our offer for you for the purpose of optimisation. These cookies enable us to automatically recognise that you have already visited our website when you visit it again. The cookies set in this way are automatically deleted after a defined period of time. The respective storage period of the cookies can be found in the settings of the consent tool used.

8.2 Legal basis for the use of cookies

The data processed by the cookies, which is required for the proper functioning of the website, is therefore necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests and those of third parties in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

For all other cookies, you have given your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR via our opt-in cookie banner.

9. Content of our website

9.1 Registration as a user

You have the option of registering on our website by providing personal data.

The personal data transmitted to us in this process is determined by the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data you enter is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by us and for our own purposes. We may arrange for the data to be passed on to one or more processors, for example a parcel service provider, who will also use the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to us.

When you register on our website, the IP address assigned by your Internet service provider (ISP), the date and the time of registration are also stored. This data is stored because it is the only way to prevent misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable the investigation of criminal offences. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary for our protection. This data will not be passed on to third parties. This does not apply if we are legally obliged to pass on the data or if the disclosure serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.

Your registration, with voluntary provision of personal data, also enables us to offer you content or services that, due to their nature, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from our database.

Upon request, we will provide you with information at any time about which personal data is stored about you. Furthermore, we will correct or delete personal data at your request, provided that this does not conflict with any legal retention obligations. A data protection officer named in this privacy policy and all other employees are available to the affected person as contact persons in this regard.

Your data is processed in the interest of convenient and easy use of our website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

9.2 Data processing when opening a customer account and for contract processing

In accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, personal data is collected and processed when you provide it to us for the purpose of executing a contract or opening a customer account. The data that is collected can be seen in the respective input forms. Your customer account can be deleted at any time, for example by sending a message to the above address of the controller. We store and use the data you provide for contract processing. After complete execution of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be blocked in accordance with tax and commercial law retention periods and deleted after these periods have expired, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we have reserved the right to further use your data in accordance with the law, about which we will inform you below.

9.3 Data processing for order processing

The personal data collected by us will be passed on to the transport company commissioned with the delivery within the scope of contract processing, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of the goods. We pass on your payment data to the commissioned credit institution within the scope of payment processing, insofar as this is necessary for payment processing. If payment service providers are used, we will explicitly inform you of this below. The legal basis for the transfer of data in this case is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR.

9.4 Concluding contracts with online shops, retailers and goods dispatch

We only transfer personal data to third parties if this is necessary for the execution of the contract, for example to the companies entrusted with the delivery of the goods or the credit institution commissioned with the payment processing. No further transfer of data takes place, or only if you have expressly consented to the transfer. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent, for example for advertising purposes.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

9.5 Contacting us / contact form

Personal data is collected when you contact us (e.g. via contact form or email). The data collected when using a contact form can be seen in the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your enquiry or for establishing contact and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your enquiry in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after your enquiry has been processed, which is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been finally clarified and there are no legal retention obligations that prevent deletion.

9.6 Services / Digital goods

We only transfer personal data to third parties if this is necessary for the execution of the contract, for example to the credit institution responsible for payment processing.

No further transfer of data will take place unless you have expressly consented to the transfer. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent, for example for advertising purposes.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

9.7 Application management / job market

We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits the relevant application documents to us electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website. If we conclude an employment or service contract with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If we do not conclude a contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests on our part prevent deletion. Another legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, the obligation to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with Section 26 (1) BDSG.

10. Newsletter dispatch

10.1 Advertising newsletter

Our website offers you the opportunity to subscribe to our company newsletter. The personal data transmitted to us when ordering the newsletter is determined by the input mask used for this purpose.

We inform our customers and business partners about our offers at regular intervals by means of a newsletter. You can only receive our company's newsletter if

1. you have a valid email address and 2. you have registered to receive the newsletter.

For legal reasons, a confirmation email will be sent to the email address you entered for the first time to receive the newsletter using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email serves to verify that you, as the owner of the email address, have authorised the receipt of the newsletter.

When you subscribe to the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by your Internet service provider (ISP) to the IT system you used at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace any (possible) misuse of your email address at a later date and therefore serves our legal protection.

The personal data collected when you subscribe to the newsletter will be used exclusively for the purpose of sending our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or for registration in this regard, as may be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes to the technical conditions. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that you have given us for the purpose of sending the newsletter can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking your consent, there is a corresponding link in every newsletter. Furthermore, you can also unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on our website or inform us in another way.

The legal basis for data processing for the purpose of sending the newsletter is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

11. Our activities on social networks

We have our own pages on social networks so that we can communicate with you there and inform you about our services. When you visit one of our social media pages, we are jointly responsible with the provider of the respective social media platform for the processing operations triggered by this, within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR.

We are not the original provider of these pages, but merely use them within the scope of the options offered to us by the respective providers. As a precaution, we would therefore like to point out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Use may therefore involve data protection risks for you, as it may be more difficult to safeguard your rights, e.g. to information, deletion, objection, etc., and processing on social networks is often carried out directly for advertising purposes or to analyse user behaviour by the providers, without us being able to influence this. If usage profiles are created by the provider, cookies are often used or your usage behaviour is assigned to your own member profile on social networks.

The processing of personal data described above is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest and the legitimate interest of the respective provider in order to communicate with you in a modern way and to inform you about our services. If you have to give your consent to data processing as a user to the respective providers, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR.

As we do not have access to the providers' data stocks, we would like to point out that it is best to exercise your rights (e.g. to information, correction, deletion, etc.) directly with the respective provider. Further information on the processing of your data in social networks and the possibility of exercising your right of objection or revocation (so-called opt-out) is listed below for each social network provider we use:

13. Web analysis

13.1 Facebook Pixel (Custom Audience)

This website uses the "Facebook Pixel" from Meta Platforms, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA ("Meta"). If explicit consent is given, this allows the behaviour of users to be tracked after they have seen or clicked on a Facebook advertisement. This procedure serves to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements for statistical and market research purposes and can help to optimise future advertising measures.

The data collected is anonymous to us and therefore does not allow us to draw conclusions about the identity of users. However, the data is stored and processed by Meta, so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Facebook Data Use Policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). This enables Meta and its partners to place advertisements on and outside of Facebook. A cookie may also be stored on your computer for these purposes. These processing operations are carried out exclusively with your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

To deactivate the use of cookies on your IT system, you can set your internet browser so that no more cookies can be stored on your IT system in future or cookies that have already been stored are deleted. Please note that these measures may mean that not all functions of our website are available. You can also deactivate the use of cookies by third-party providers such as Meta on the following website of the Digital Advertising Alliance: https://www.aboutads.info/choices/

In addition, you can deactivate cookies for reach measurement and advertising purposes by setting an opt-out cookie via the following websites:

1. https://optout.networkadvertising.org/ 2. https://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/

Please note that this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies.

13.2 Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is 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 enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

IP anonymisation

We have activated the IP anonymisation function on this website. This means that your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area ( ) before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Browser plugin

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser; however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

Objection to data collection

You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set to prevent your data from being collected on future visits to this website: [google_analytics_optout]Disable Google Analytics[/google_analytics_optout]

For more information on how Google Analytics handles user data, please refer to Google's privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de

Order data processing

We have concluded a contract with Google for commissioned data processing and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Demographic characteristics in Google Analytics

This website uses the "demographic characteristics" function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be created that contain statements about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising by Google and visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be attributed to any specific individual. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described in the section "Objection to data collection".

13.3 Google Analytics Remarketing

We have integrated Google Remarketing services into this website. The operator of Google Remarketing services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Remarketing is a feature of Google AdWords that enables a company to display advertisements to Internet users who have previously visited the company's website. The integration of Google Remarketing therefore allows a company to create user-related advertising and consequently display interest-relevant advertisements to the Internet user.

The purpose of Google Remarketing is to display advertisements that are relevant to the user's interests. Google Remarketing enables us to display advertisements via the Google advertising network or on other websites that are tailored to the individual needs and interests of Internet users.

Google Remarketing places a cookie on the IT system of the person concerned. By setting the cookie, Google is able to recognise visitors to our website when they subsequently visit websites that are also members of the Google advertising network. Each time you visit a website on which the Google Remarketing service has been integrated, your internet browser automatically identifies itself to Google. As part of this technical process, Google obtains personal data such as your IP address or surfing behaviour, which Google uses, among other things, to display interest-relevant advertising.

The cookie stores personal information, such as the websites you have visited. Each time you visit our website, personal data, including your IP address, is transferred to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.

As described above, you can prevent our website from setting cookies at any time by adjusting the settings of your internet browser and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on your IT system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programmes.

You also have the option of objecting to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, you must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from your Internet browser and make the desired settings there.

These processing operations are carried out exclusively with your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

You can view the data protection provisions of Google Analytics Remarketing at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

14. Advertising

14.1 Google Ads

Our website uses Google Ads functions to advertise this website in Google search results and on third-party websites. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). For this purpose, Google places a cookie in the browser of your device, which automatically enables interest-based advertising using a pseudonymous cookie ID and based on the pages you have visited.

Any further data processing only takes place if you have agreed to Google linking your internet and app browsing history to your Google account and using information from your Google account to personalise the ads you see on the web. In this case, if you are logged into Google while visiting our website, Google will use your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define target group lists for cross-device remarketing. To do this, your personal data is temporarily linked to Google Analytics data by Google in order to form target groups.

You can permanently disable the setting of cookies for advertising preferences by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/. Alternatively, you can find out about the setting of cookies and configure your settings at the Digital Advertising Alliance at www.aboutads.info. Finally, you can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and can decide individually whether to accept them or to exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general. We would like to point out that these measures may mean that not all functions of our website are available.

These processing operations are carried out exclusively with the express consent of the affected person in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

You can view the data protection provisions and further information from Google Ads at: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/

14.2 Google Ads with conversion tracking

We have integrated Google Ads into this website. The operating company of Google Ads services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ads is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads in Google's search engine results and on the Google advertising network. Google Ads allows advertisers to specify certain keywords in advance, which are then used to display an ad in Google's search engine results only when the user enters a keyword-relevant search result in the search engine. In the Google advertising network, the advertisements are distributed to relevant websites using an automatic algorithm and taking into account the predefined keywords.

The purpose of Google Ads is to promote our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine, and to display third-party advertising on our website.

If you access our website via a Google ad, Google will place a so-called conversion cookie on your IT system. A conversion cookie expires after thirty days and is not used to identify you. The conversion cookie is used to track whether certain subpages, such as the shopping basket of an online shop system, have been accessed on our website, provided that the cookie has not yet expired. The conversion cookie allows both us and Google to track whether a user who has accessed our website via an AdWords ad has generated a sale, i.e. completed or cancelled a purchase.

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to compile visit statistics for our website. We in turn use these visit statistics to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via Ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective Ads and to optimise our Ads for the future. Neither our company nor other Google Ads advertisers receive information from Google that could be used to identify you.

The conversion cookie stores personal information, such as the websites you have visited. Each time you visit our website, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection you are using, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.

You can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on your IT system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Ads can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programmes. You also have the option of objecting to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, you must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from your Internet browser and make the desired settings there. We would like to point out that these measures may mean that not all functions of our Internet offer are available.

These processing operations are carried out exclusively with your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

You can view the data protection provisions and further information from Google AdSense at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

15. Plugins and other services

15.1 Google Maps

We use Google Maps (API) on our website. Google Maps is operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ireland Limited is part of the Google group of companies, headquartered at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (land) maps to visually represent geographical information. By using this service, you can, for example, view our location and make it easier to find us.

When you visit subpages that contain a Google Maps map, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers in the USA and stored there. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account that you are logged in to or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not want your data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out of your Google user account. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right.

If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google in connection with the use of Google Maps, you also have the option of completely deactivating the Google Maps web service by disabling JavaScript in your browser. Google Maps and thus also the map display on this website cannot then be used.

These processing operations are carried out exclusively with your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

You can view Google's terms of use at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html. The additional terms of use for Google Maps can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de_US/help/terms_maps.html.

You can view the Google Maps privacy policy at: ("Google Privacy Policy"): https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

15.2 Google Tag Manager

We use the Google Tag Manager service on this website. Google Tag Manager is operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ireland Limited is part of the Google group of companies, headquartered at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

This tool allows "website tags" (i.e. keywords that are embedded in HTML elements) to be implemented and managed via an interface. By using Google Tag Manager, we can automatically track which button, link or personalised image you have actively clicked on and can then record which content on our website is of particular interest to you.

The tool also triggers other tags, which may in turn collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If you have deactivated tracking at the domain or cookie level, this will remain in effect for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.

These processing operations are carried out exclusively with your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

Further information about Google Tag Manager and Google's privacy policy can be found at: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

YouTube and Google receive information via the YouTube component that you have visited our website whenever you are logged into YouTube at the same time as visiting our website; this occurs regardless of whether you click on a YouTube video or not. If you do not want this information to be transmitted to YouTube and Google, you can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account before visiting our website.

PayPal also offers the option of processing virtual payments via credit cards if a user does not have a PayPal account.

PayPal also acts as a trustee and offers buyer protection services.

If you select "PayPal" as your payment option during the ordering process in our online shop, your data will be automatically transferred to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, you consent to the transfer of personal data required for payment processing.

The personal data exchanged between PayPal and us may be transferred by PayPal to credit agencies. The purpose of this transfer is to verify identity and creditworthiness.

PayPal may pass on personal data to affiliated companies and service providers or subcontractors if this is necessary to fulfil contractual obligations or if the data is to be processed on behalf of PayPal.

You have the option of revoking your consent to the processing of personal data by PayPal at any time. Revocation does not affect personal data that must process, use or transfer for (contractual) payment processing.

PayPal is used in the interest of proper and smooth payment processing. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Your personal data will only be transferred if you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.
