Accordingly, we use the service to only show the Facebook ads we place to those Facebook users who have shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products, which are determined based on the websites visited). which we transmit to Facebook (so-called “Custom Audiences”).

On the other hand, “Facebook Pixel” can be used to track whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad and what actions they took there (so-called “conversion tracking”).

The data collected is anonymous to us, so it does not allow us to draw any conclusions about the identity of the user. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes.

We have concluded an order processing contract with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our site visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

The information generated by Facebook is usually transmitted to a Facebook server and stored there; in this context, data may also be transmitted to Meta Platforms Inc. servers in the USA.

11) Site Functionalities

Google Web Fonts

This site uses so-called web fonts from the following provider for the uniform display of fonts: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland

When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display text and fonts correctly and establishes a direct connection to the provider's servers. Certain browser information, including your IP address, is transmitted to the provider.

Data can also be transmitted to: Google LLC, USA

The processing of personal data in the course of establishing a connection with the provider of the fonts will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service using the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font will be used by your computer.

12.1 - DATEV

To carry out the accounting, we use the cloud-based accounting software service from the following provider: DATEV eG, Paumgartnerstr. 6-14, 90429 Nuremberg, Germany

The provider processes incoming and outgoing invoices as well as our company's bank transactions in order to automatically record invoices, match them to the transactions and create financial accounting from them in a semi-automated process.

If personal data is also processed here, the processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the efficient organization and documentation of our business transactions.

12.2 Cookie-Consent-Tool

This website uses a so-called "cookie consent tool" to obtain effective user consent for cookies that require consent and cookie-based applications. The "Cookie-Consent-Tool" is displayed to users when the page is accessed in the form of an interactive user interface, on which consent can be given for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications by ticking the box. By using the tool, all cookies/services that require consent are only loaded if the respective user gives their consent by ticking the box. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the respective end device of the user if consent has been given.

The tool sets technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed here.

If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed for the purpose of storing, assigning or logging cookie settings, this is carried out in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in a legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for cookies and therefore a legally compliant design of our website.

Another legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR. As the person responsible, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user consent.

If necessary, we have concluded an order processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

Further information on the operator and the setting options of the cookie content tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.

This processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of the GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in ensuring the authenticity of customer reviews by ensuring transaction-relatedness and preventing review abuse. After the evaluation review and approval has been completed, the data will be deleted by the provider.

IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL STOP THE PROCESSING OF THE DATA INVOLVED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES.

14) Duration of storage of personal data

The duration of the storage of personal data is based on the respective legal basis, the processing purpose and - if relevant - also based on the respective statutory retention period (e.g. commercial and tax retention periods).

When processing personal data on the basis of an express consent in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. a GDPR, the data concerned will be stored until you revoke your consent.

If there are statutory retention periods for data that are processed within the framework of legal or similar obligations on the basis of Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR, this data will be routinely deleted after the retention period has expired, provided that it is no longer required to fulfill or initiate a contract and/or we have no legitimate interest in further storage.

When processing personal data on the basis of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR, this data will be stored until you exercise your right of objection in accordance with Article 21 Paragraph 1 GDPR, unless we can provide compelling reasons worthy of protection prove the processing that outweighs your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

When processing personal data for the purpose of direct advertising on the basis of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR, this data will be stored until you exercise your right of objection under Article 21 (2) GDPR.

Unless otherwise stated in the other information in this declaration on specific processing situations, stored personal data will be deleted when they are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
