Server data
For technical reasons, in particular in order to ensure a secure and stable website, data are sent to us and/or to our webspace provider by your internet browser. The data collected by these server log files include the type and version of your internet browser, the operating system, the website from which you clicked through to our site (referrer URL), the page(s) of our website that you visit, the date and time of access, and the IP address of the internet connection used to access our website.

The data are deleted after no more than seven days, as long as no further storage is necessary for the purpose of evidence. Otherwise, the data shall be excluded from erasure in full or in part until final clarification of an incident is reached.
Cookies
a) Session cookies
We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are placed on your device by your internet browser and stored there. These cookies are used to process specific information about you on an individual basis, such as your browser or location data or your IP address.
This type of data processing makes our website more secure, effective and user-friendly, as it allows us, for example, to reproduce our website in different languages or provide a shopping cart function. The legal basis for this form of data processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, as long as these cookies are used to process data for the purpose of contract initiation or performing a contract.
If this processing is not done for the purpose of contract initiation or performing a contract, our legitimate interest is the improvement of the functionality of our website. The legal basis in this case is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
These session cookies are deleted when you close your internet browser.
b) Third-party cookies
Cookies from partner companies with whom we collaborate for advertising or analysis purposes or to ensure the functional features of our website may be used in combination with our website.
For further details in this regard, in particular relating to the purposes and legal basis of the processing of these third-party cookies, please refer to the information below.
c) Removal option
You may prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by configuring the appropriate settings in your internet browser. You can also delete cookies that have already been saved at any time. However, the necessary steps and measures for doing this depend on the internet browser that you use. If you have any questions, you should therefore consult the help function or documentation for your internet browser, or contact the developer or support service. However, in the case of Flash cookies, data processing cannot be stopped via the browser settings. Instead, you will need to change the settings of your Flash player. The necessary steps and measures for doing this will depend on the specific Flash player that you use. If you have any questions, you should therefore consult the help function or documentation for your Flash player, or contact the developer or user support service.
If you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, this may lead to some of the functions of our website not working correctly.
Performance of a contract
The data transmitted by you to utilise our range of goods and/or services will be processed by us for the purpose of performance of the contract and are necessary in this respect. Conclusion and processing of the contract are not possible without the provision of your data.
The legal basis for this data processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
We delete the data once the contract has been fully processed, but must observe the retention periods under tax and commercial law.
In the context of contract processing, we pass on your data to the transport company commissioned with the delivery of goods or to the financial service provider, insofar as the transfer is necessary for the delivery of goods or for payment purposes.
The legal basis for this passing on of data is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
Customer account / registration function
If you create a customer/supplier account with us via our website, we will collect and store the data you enter during registration (e.g. your name, your address or your e-mail address) exclusively for pre-contractual services, for the fulfilment of the contract or for the purpose of customer care (e.g. to provide you with an overview of your previous orders with us or to be able to offer you the memo function). At the same time, we store the IP address and the date and time of your registration. This data will not be passed on to third parties.
In the course of the further registration process, your consent to this processing will be obtained and reference will be made to this privacy policy. The data collected by us will be used exclusively for the provision of the customer/supplier account.
If you consent to this processing, Article 6(1)(a) GDPR is the legal basis for the processing.
If the opening of the customer/supplier account also serves pre-contractual measures or the fulfilment of the contract, the legal basis for this processing is also Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
You can withdraw the consent you have given us to open and maintain the customer/supplier account at any time with effect for the future in accordance with Article 7(3) GDPR. To do this, simply inform us that you wish to withdraw your consent.
The data collected in this respect will be deleted as soon as processing is no longer necessary. However, we must observe retention periods under tax and commercial law.
Credit check and scoring
If we offer you the basic option of payment by invoice as part of our range of goods or services and you make use of this option, we reserve the right to obtain credit information from a credit agency (such as Coface Rating GmbH, Creditreform Leer Bolte KG, Bisnode Deutschland GmbH, CRIF BÜRGEL GmbH Ndl. Hamburg,) on the basis of statistical mathematical procedures. For this purpose, your data will be forwarded to the credit agency if it is relevant to the contract, such as your name and address.
We use the subsequent information on the statistical probability of non-payment to decide whether to offer you payment by invoice. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in the security of the claim and the prevention of fraud pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

In the next step of the sign-up procedure, we will ask for your permission to send you the newsletter, describe its contents in more detail, and refer to this Privacy Policy. The data we collect in doing so will only be used for the purpose of sending the newsletter – in particular, therefore, these data will not be passed on to third parties.
The legal basis in this case is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.
You can withdraw your consent for the newsletter at any time with future effect in accordance with Article 7(3) GDPR. To do this, simply inform us that you wish to withdraw your consent, or click the unsubscribe link that can be found in every newsletter.

The legal basis for this data processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
Your data will be erased once your query has been definitively answered as long as this does not contravene any legal retention requirements, for example in the event that a contract is subsequently performed.
User posts, comments and reviews
We provide you with the opportunity to publish questions, answers, opinions and reviews, hereinafter referred to as “posts”, on our internet pages. If you take up this offer, we will process and publish your post, the date and time you submitted it, and the pseudonym you have used, if applicable.

We also process your IP address and email address. Your IP address is processed because we have a legitimate interest in initiating or supporting further steps if your post infringes the rights of a third party and/or is otherwise unlawful.
The legal basis in this case is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is any necessary legal defence.

If your application is rejected, we automatically delete the data submitted to us six months after notification of the rejection. However, these data shall not be erased if a longer storage period is required – up to four months or until legal proceedings are concluded – for legal reasons, such as the burden of proof in connection with the German General Equal Treatment Act (Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz, AGG).
The legal basis in this case is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR and Section 24(1)(2) BDSG. Our legitimate interest is legal defence or law enforcement.
If you explicitly consent to your data being stored for a longer period, for example for inclusion in our database of applicants or interested parties, these data will be further processed according to your consent. The legal basis this case is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. However, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time with future effect in accordance with Article 7(3) GDPR by declaring this to us.

Google AdWords with conversion tracking
We use the advertising tool Google AdWords, including conversion tracking, on our website. This is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as “Google”.
Through certification under the EU-US Privacy Shield https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active
Google guarantees that the data protection provisions of the EU are also complied with when processing data in the USA.
We use conversion tracking to market our products and services in a targeted manner. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the analysis, optimisation and commercial operation of our website.
If you click on an advert displayed by Google, the conversion tracking that we use saves a cookie onto your device. These conversion cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to identify you personally. If the cookie is still valid and you visit a specific page on our website, both we and Google can see that you clicked on one of our adverts placed on Google and that you were then redirected to our website.
Google uses the information collected in this way to provide us with statistics on visits to our website. It also provides us with details about the number of users who have clicked on our advert(s) and about the pages on our website that are then accessed. However, neither we nor any third parties that also use Google AdWords are able to identify you through these means.
Furthermore, you can prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by configuring the appropriate settings in your internet browser. You can also delete cookies that have already been saved at any time. However, the necessary steps and measures for doing this depend on the internet browser that you use. If you have any questions, you should therefore consult the help function or documentation for your internet browser, or contact the developer or support service.

Google Remarketing or "similar audiences"
We use remarketing or the “similar audiences” function on our website. This is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as “Google”.
Through certification under the EU-US Privacy Shield https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active
Google guarantees that the data protection provisions of the EU are also complied with when processing data in the USA.
We use this function to display interest-based, personalised advertisements on third-party websites that are also part of Google’s advertising network. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the analysis, optimisation and commercial operation of our website.
To enable this advertising service, Google saves a cookie containing a sequence of numbers onto your device via your internet browser when you visit our website. This cookie records anonymised data about your visit to and use of our website. However, no personal data are transmitted. If you then visit the website of a third party that also uses the Google advertising network, adverts may appear that refer to our website or to the products and services offered there.
Google offers a browser plugin for all common internet browsers at
https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin
that can be used to permanently deactivate this function.
Furthermore, by visiting e.g. http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices
or
http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/
you can opt out of the use of cookies from specific providers.
Under certain circumstances, Google can use cross-device marketing to track your usage behaviour across multiple devices, meaning that you may still be shown interest-based, personalised advertisements even after you have switched to a different device. However, this can only happen if you have consented to the linking of your browser history to your existing Google account.
