2.2 Access data

We collect data about you when you use this website. We automatically collect data about your usage and interaction with us and register data about your computer or mobile device.

We use these log data without assigning them to you or drawing up any other kind of profile for statistical evaluations regarding the purpose of the operation, the safety and the optimisation of our Website, but also for the anonymous registration of the number of visitors to our website (traffic) as well as for information regarding the extent and type of use of our website and services, and, for billing purposes, to record the number of clicks received by cooperation partners.

5 Data security

We make every effort to ensure the security of your data within the framework of applicable data protection laws and technical possibilities. Your personal data is sent via an encrypted connection. We use the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) coding system, but we must point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) may have involve gaps in security. Complete protection of the data from third-party access is not possible. To safeguard your data, we undertake technical and organisational security measures in accordance with Art. 32 GDPR, which we always adapt to ensure that they are in line with state-of-the-art technology. We also do not guarantee that our Website will be available at specific times; disturbances, interruptions or failures cannot be excluded. The servers we use are regularly and carefully backed up.

In the event that we outsource certain parts of the data processing ("order processing"), we contractually obligate the processors to use personal data only in accordance with the requirements of data protection laws and to ensure the safeguarding of the data subject's rights.
Any data transmission to agencies or persons outside the EU beyond the cases mentioned in this declaration in Section 2 does not take place and is not planned.
