3. general notes and obligatory information
Data protection
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your
personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this
data protection declaration.
When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data is data with which you
can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for.
It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail)
can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
Note on the responsible office
The responsible party for data processing on this website is:
Jürgen Frölje
Auf dem Kronsberg 5a
27299 Langwedel
Phone: ++49 175 8576770
E-mail:
The responsible party is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the
purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses or similar).
Storage period
Unless a more specific storage period has been stated within this data protection declaration, your
personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you
assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be
deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention
periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be deleted once these reasons no
longer apply.
General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a)
DSGVO or Art. 9(2)(a) DSGVO if special categories of data are processed in accordance with Art. 9(1)
DSGVO. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the data
processing is also based on Art. 49 (1) a DSGVO. If you have consented to the storage of cookies
or to the access to information in your terminal device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), the data
processing is additionally carried out on the basis of Section 25 (1) TTDSG. The consent can be
revoked at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for the implementation
of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO.
Furthermore, if your data is required for the fulfillment of a legal obligation, we process it on the basis
of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO. Furthermore, the data processing may be carried out on the basis of our
legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Information about the relevant legal basis
in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.
Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries
Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are
not secure under data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred
to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that no level of data protection
comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are
obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as a data subject being able to
take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services)
process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on US servers for monitoring purposes.
We have no influence on these processing activities.
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent
you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation
remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 DSGVO).
IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6 ABS. 1 LIT. E OR F DSGVO, YOU HAVE
THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS
ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE
PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS
PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED
UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH
OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING IS FOR THE PURPOSE OF
ASSERTING, EXERCISING OR DEFENDING LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ARTICLE 21(1) DSGVO).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE
THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU
FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED
TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO
LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21 (2)
OF THE GERMAN DATA PROTECTION ACT).
Right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects shall have the right to lodge a complaint with a
supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work
or the place of the alleged violation. The right of appeal is without prejudice to any other administrative
or judicial remedy.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in
performance of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format.
If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible party, this will only be done insofar as
it is technically feasible.
Information, correction and deletion
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information
about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable,
a right to correction or deletion of this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject
of personal data, you can contact us at any time.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. For this purpose, you
can contact us at any time. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this.
For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your
personal data.
If the processing of your personal data happened/is happening unlawfully, you can request the
restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims,
you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) DSGVO, a balancing of your and our interests
must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the
right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data - apart from its storage - may
only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or for
the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public
interest of the European Union or a Member State.
SSL or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or
requests that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can
recognize 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.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Objection to advertising e-mails
We hereby object to the use of contact data published within the framework of the imprint obligation
to send advertising and information material that has not been expressly requested. The operators
of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending
of advertising information, such as spam e-mails.
4. data collection on this website
Cookies
Our internet pages use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any
damage to your terminal device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session
(session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your end device. Session cookies are
automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your end
device until you delete them yourself or until they are automatically deleted by your web browser.
Cookies can originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called
third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services of third-party
companies within websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website
functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos).
Other cookies may be used to evaluate user behavior or for advertising purposes.
Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain
functions that you have requested (e.g. for the shopping cart function) or to optimize the website
(e.g. cookies to measure the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit.
f DSGVO, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in
storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If
consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested,
processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25
para. 1 TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time.
You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow
cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and
activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated,
the functionality of this website may be limited.
Which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this privacy policy.
Server log files
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server
log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
browser type and browser version
Operating system used
referrer URL
Host name of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources.
The collection of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a
legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website -
for this purpose, the server log files must be collected.
Contact form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your data from the inquiry form, including the contact
data you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case
of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO, if your request is related to the
performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of
the requests addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) DSGVO) if this
has been requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke
your consent to store it, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after we have
completed processing your request). Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods -
remain unaffected.
Inquiry by e-mail, telephone or fax
If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your inquiry including all resulting personal data
(name, inquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request.
We do not pass on this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO, if your request is related to the
performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing
of the requests sent to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) DSGVO) if this
has been requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.
The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you request us to delete it,
revoke your consent to store it, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after
your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions - in particular legal retention
periods - remain unaffected.
5. social media
Elements of the social network Facebook are integrated on this website. The provider of this
service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. However,
according to Facebook, the data collected is also transferred to the USA and other third countries.
An overview of the Facebook social media elements can be found here:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE.
When the social media element is active, a direct connection is established between your end
device and the Facebook server. Facebook thereby receives the information that you have visited
this website with your IP address. If you click the Facebook "Like" button while logged into your
Facebook account, you can link the content of this website on your Facebook profile. This allows
Facebook to associate your visit to this website with your user account. We would like to point
out that we, as the provider of the pages, have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted
data or its use by Facebook. For more information, please refer to Facebook's privacy policy at:
https://de-de.facebook.com/privacy/explanation.
Insofar as consent has been obtained, the use of the above-mentioned service is based on
Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time. Insofar as
no consent has been obtained, the use of the service is based on our legitimate interest in
achieving the greatest possible visibility in social media.
Insofar as personal data is collected on our website with the help of the tool described here
and forwarded to Facebook, we and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square,
Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland are jointly responsible for this data processing
(Art. 26 DSGVO). The joint responsibility is limited exclusively to the collection of the data and
its forwarding to Facebook. The processing by Facebook that takes place after the onward
transfer is not part of the joint responsibility. The obligations incumbent on us jointly have
been set out in a joint processing agreement. The text of the agreement can be found at:
https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum.
According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing the privacy information when
using the Facebook tool and for the privacy-secure implementation of the tool on our website.
Facebook is responsible for the data security of Facebook products. You can assert data
subject rights (e.g., requests for information) regarding data processed by Facebook directly
with Facebook. If you assert the data subject rights with us, we are obliged to forward
them to Facebook.
The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU
Commission. Details can be found here:
https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum,
https://de-de.facebook.com/help/566994660333381 and
https://www.facebook.com/policy.php.
Newsletter data
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e-mail
address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner
of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. Further data
is not collected or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the
requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.
The processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form is based exclusively
on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You can revoke your consent to the storage of
the data, the e-mail address and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example
via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already
carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you provide us with for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us or
the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted
from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter or after the purpose
has ceased to exist. We reserve the right to delete or block e-mail addresses from our newsletter
distribution list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest pursuant
to Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO.
Data that has been stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.
After you have unsubscribed from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address will be
stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist if necessary to prevent future mailings.
The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data.
This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending
newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) f DSGVO). The storage in the blacklist
is not limited in time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
7. plugins and tools
YouTube with enhanced data protection
This website embeds videos from the website YouTube. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland
Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
We use YouTube in extended data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode means that YouT
ube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video.
However, the transfer of data to YouTube partners is not necessarily excluded by the extended data
protection mode. Thus, YouTube - regardless of whether you watch a video - establishes a connection
to the Google DoubleClick network.
As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube's servers is
established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged
into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your
personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
Furthermore, YouTube can save various cookies on your end device after starting a video or use
comparable recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting). In this way, YouTube can obtain
information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect
video statistics, improve the user experience, and prevent fraud attempts.
If necessary, further data processing operations may be triggered after the start of a YouTube
video, over which we have no control.
YouTube is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This represents
a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Insofar as a corresponding
consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit.
a DSGVO and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access
to information in the user's terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG.
The consent can be revoked at any time.
For more information about data protection at YouTube, please see their privacy policy at:
https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
Google Maps
This site uses the map service Google Maps. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"),
Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information
is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has
no influence on this data transmission. If Google Maps is activated, Google may use Google
Fonts for the purpose of uniform display of fonts. When calling up Google Maps, your browser
loads the required web fonts into its browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly.
The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers and
an easy location of the places indicated by us on the website. This represents a legitimate interest
within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. If a corresponding consent has been requested,
the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25
para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information
in the user's terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. The
consent can be revoked at any time.
Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission.
