3. Data collection on our website
Cookies
Our website uses cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. They help make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser. Most of the cookies we use are "session cookies." These are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit. You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies, to allow cookies only in individual cases, to block cookies in certain cases or entirely, and to automatically delete cookies when you close your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website. Cookies that are necessary for carrying out electronic communication or for providing certain functions you have requested (e.g., the shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically flawless and optimized provision of its services. Any other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your browsing behavior) are addressed separately in this privacy policy.

Server log files
The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. This information includes:

• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Hostname of the accessing computer
• Time of server request
• IP address

This data will not be combined with other data sources. The legal basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or for taking steps prior to entering into a contract.

Contact form
When you submit inquiries to us via our contact form, the information you provide, including your contact details, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your inquiry and for any follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent. The processing of the data entered into the contact form is therefore based solely on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal notification by email to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Data transfer upon conclusion of contracts for services and digital content
We only transfer personal data to third parties if this is necessary for processing the contract, for example, to the bank responsible for payment processing. Data will not be transferred beyond this scope unless you have expressly consented to it. Your data will not be shared with third parties without your explicit consent, for example, for advertising purposes. The legal basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or for taking steps prior to entering into a contract.

Use of collected information: In addition to the uses described above, the information you provide will be used in accordance with Google's applicable privacy policy. Google may publish or share aggregated statistics about users' +1 activity with users and partners, such as publishers, advertisers, or connected websites.
