Data protection is a matter of trust and to earn and keep your trust is important to us. We respect your private and personal spheres. The protection and the lawful collection, processing and use of your personal data are therefore important concerns for us. So that you feel safe when visiting our websites, we strictly observe the legal provisions when processing your personal data and wish to take this opportunity to inform you about our data collection and data use.

We only collect data for individual-related processing and use if you voluntarily decide to enter the data or expressly give your consent. In such cases, you thereby accept the following terms of use.

When you visit our website, certain data is automatically stored on our servers for system administration, statistical or security purposes. This data includes the name of your internet service provider, possibly your IP address, the version of your browser software, the operating system of the computer used to access it, the website from which you visit us, the webpages you visit on our site and any search terms you used to find our website. This data may allow conclusions to be drawn about a specific visitor to the website. However, personal data will not be commercially exploited in this context. Such data is only used anonymously.

If you provide us with personal data of your own accord, we will not use, process or pass on this data beyond the scope permitted by law or beyond the scope specified by you in a declaration of consent. Insofar as we use the services of third parties to carry out and handle processing, the provisions of the German Federal Data Protection Act (“BDSG”) are observed.

In addition, we only pass on your data if we are obliged to do so by law, or by official or court orders.

In the event of a credit risk (name, address, e-mail address, information about the company and, if applicable, contract and claim data), we will transmit your data to the IHD Gesellschaft für Kredit und Forderungsmanagement mbH, Augustinusstr. 11 B, 50226 Frechen, and possibly to other cooperating credit agencies. The legal basis for this transmission is Art 6 I b GDPR and Art 6 I f GDPR. Data transmissions on the basis of Art 6 I f GDPR may only take place if this is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of our company and does not outweigh the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the person concerned, which require the protection of personal data.

Changes to our “Privacy Policy” will be posted on this page. In this way, you can find out at any time what data we store and how we collect and use it.

It goes without saying that you are also entitled at any time to revoke your consent to the use and processing of personal data with effect for the future.  In this case, please contact the following address:

This website uses the Google Tag Manager. This tool does not use cookies and does not collect any personal data. The sole function of the tool is to implement tags. The Google Tag Manager triggers other tags, which then collect data, but this data is not used by the Google Tag Manager either. If cookies have been deactivated, this will be taken into account for all tracking tags used with the Google Tag Manager.

This website uses the remarketing technology of Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). This means that users who have already visited our website and are interested in the offer are addressed again through targeted advertising on the pages of the Google advertising network. The display of advertisement is activated by cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on the user’s computer. With the help of the text files, user behaviour on the website can be analysed and then used for targeted product recommendations and interest-based advertising.

If you do not wish to receive interest-based advertising, you can disable Google’s use of cookies for these purposes by visiting the page www.google.de/settings/ads .

Collection and disclosure of information:
You can use the Google +1 button to publish information worldwide. You and other users receive personalised content from Google and our partners via the Google +1 button. Google stores both that you have +1’d some content and also the page you were viewing when you clicked +1. Your +1’s can be displayed along with your profile name and photo in Google services, such as in search results or in your Google profile, or in other places on websites and advertisements on the internet.

Google records information about your +1 activities in order to improve Google services for you and others. In order to use the Google +1 button, you need a globally visible, public Google profile that must contain at least the name chosen for the profile. This name is used for all Google services. In some cases, this name can also replace another name that you used when sharing content via your Google account. The identity of your Google profile can be displayed to users who know your email address or have other identifying information about you.

This website uses Matomo, an open source software for the statistical analysis of user visits. Matomo uses cookies 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 stored on the provider’s server in Germany. The IP address is anonymised immediately after processing and before it is stored. You can prevent the installation of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out to you that in this case you will possibly not be able to use all functions of this website in full.
