Data protection at a glance

General information

The following notes provide a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit our website:

Personal data

How do we capture your data?

On the one hand, your data is collected by you providing it to us. This may, for example, be data that you send us by e-mail. Other data is collected automatically by our IT systems when you visit our website. This is mainly technical data (e.g., internet browser, operating system or time of page view). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter our website. This is exclusively information that does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person. We evaluate this data only for statistical purposes and in anonymous form to optimise our website, to increase user-friendliness, effectiveness and security. Your IP address is stored anonymously and thus no longer allows any personal reference. Please note that, with your consent, your non-anonymised IP address is also sent to third-party providers and information from your visit of this site could possibly be linked to other information that this third-party provider has collected about you. If your data is transferred to third countries that do not have an equivalent level of data protection, we ensure that the level of data protection is guaranteed by concluding standard contractual clauses.

How long do we store your data?

We generally store your data for as long as we need it for the stated processing purposes. If the processing is based on your consent, we will only process your data until you withdraw your consent.

What do we use your data for?

We collect some of the data to ensure that the website is provided without error. Other data may be used with your consent to analyse your user behaviour in order to improve our website and our products. In this context, we may pass on data to third parties.

What rights do you have regarding your data?

You have the right to receive information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data free of charge at any time. You also have the right to request the correction, blocking or deletion of this data. In addition, you have the right to object to the processing if the processing is carried out on the basis of our overriding legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). You can contact us at any time at the above addresses with regard to this and other questions on the subject of data protection. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

Children

Persons under the age of 16 should not submit any personal data to us without the consent of their parents or legal guardians. We do not request personal data from children and young people, do not collect it and do not pass it on to third parties.

Is the provision of your data obligatory?

There is no obligation to provide your data. A possible consequence of not providing your data may be that the display is not optimal or that it is not possible for you to access our website. In the case of orders and payments, the consequence of not providing your data is the impossibility of fulfilling the contract.

1. Use of analysis tools and advertising

We only process your data for analysis and advertising purposes if you have consented to this (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a. GDPR). You have the right to revoke your consent at any time by clicking on the “fingerprint-symbol” in the lower left corner of this Website. Please note that the processing of your data by us and third parties remains lawful until the time of revocation.

For the management of customer data in a CRM system and for marketing purposes, we additionally process your data on the basis of the following legal grounds:

– Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b DSGVO, if we process the data in the context of an existing contract with you.
– Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO, if we use data to optimize our products and customer management, which is also our overriding legitimate interest here.

1.2 Wiredminds

We use the Leadlab service of wiredminds GmbH and its pixel-counting technology on our site to analyse user behaviour and optimise our offers based on this. The service enables us to recognise which companies have visited our site. In doing so, we do not receive any information that makes you directly identifiable. Cookies and tracking pixels are used in connection with the use of Leadlab. This enables us to perform a statistical analysis of the use of this site. In doing so, we process information about your usage behaviour and either transmit this information to Wiredminds or it is collected directly by Wiredminds. The information collected is processed by Wiredminds using a pseudonym for analysis and anonymised where possible.

The data obtained in this way is not readily used to identify you personally.

Furthermore, the data is not combined with personal data about you as the bearer of the pseudonym. Information on data protection at Wiredminds can be found here:  https://www.wiredminds.de/datenschutz/.

An AV contract has been concluded with the company. In this way, we ensure that the data processing is carried out on our behalf and in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR.

1.3 LinkedIn Insights and Conversion Tracking

We use the LinkedIn Insight Tag on this site. This tag creates a LinkedIn browser cookie that collects data such as IP address, timestamp, page activity and demographic data from LinkedIn (if the user is an active LinkedIn member).

This service allows us to generate reports on the performance of our advertisements and obtain information on website interaction. The LinkedIn Insight tag is integrated on this page for this purpose. This establishes a connection to the LinkedIn server when you visit this website and are also logged into your LinkedIn account at the same time.

Leadformular:

When you fill out a lead form on the LinkedIn website, we process your personal data in order to provide you with the information you have requested. If you consent to this, we will transfer the information you entered in the lead form to our customer database and possibly link this to other information you have provided, in order to be able to make you offers in future that correspond to your interests. If you have consented to this, you can revoke the corresponding use of your data at any time.

An AV contract has been concluded with the company. In this way, we ensure that the data processing is carried out on our behalf and in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR.

1.4 Google Analytics, Global Site Day, Conversion Linker

This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics; Google also uses the Global Site Tag and Conversion Linker services. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics is a web analysis service for the collection, compilation and evaluation of data on the behavior of website visitors. Google Analytics uses cookies that transmit data to Google for analysis purposes when you visit our website, provided you have consented to the processing. Cookies are text files that are stored on your computer and enable your use of the website to be analyzed. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

As part of this process, the following data is usually transmitted to Google’s servers and stored:

– referrer URL
– which subpage of the website is accessed
– how often and for how long a subpage is viewed
– IP address
– access time
– access location
– frequency of visits to our website.

In Google Analytics 4, the anonymization of IP addresses is activated by default. Due to IP anonymization, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. According to Google, the IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

During your visit to the website, your user behavior is recorded in the form of “events”. Events can be:

– Page views
– First visit to the website
– Start of the session
– Visited web pages
– Your “click path”, interaction with the website
– Scrolls (whenever a user scrolls to the bottom of the page (90%))
– Clicks on external links
– Internal search queries
– Interaction with videos
– file downloads
– Ads viewed / clicked on
– language setting

Also recorded:

– Your approximate location (region)
– Date and time of your visit
– Your IP address (in abbreviated form)
– Technical information about your browser and the end devices you use (e.g. language setting, screen resolution)
– your internet provider
– the referrer URL (via which website/advertising medium you came to this website)

The purpose of the Google Analytics tool is to analyze the flow of visitors to our website. From the data obtained, Google evaluates the use of the website and provides us with online reports that show the activities on our website. The use of Google Analytics enables us to optimize our website and perform a cost-benefit analysis of our Internet advertising.

Cookies are used in connection with the Google analysis tool if you consent to this. In order to obtain your consent, we have placed a cookie banner on our website. The use of Google Analytics is therefore based on the legal basis of Section 25 (1) GDPR and Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

The data sent by us and linked to cookies is automatically deleted after 14 months. The maximum lifespan of Google Analytics cookies is 2 years. Data whose retention period has been reached is automatically deleted once a month.

For the USA, the European Commission adopted its adequacy decision on July 10, 2023. Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Privacy Framework. Since Google servers are distributed worldwide and a transfer to third countries (for example to Singapore) cannot be completely ruled out, we have also concluded the EU standard contractual clauses with the provider.

It is possible that Google may pass on the data obtained in the process to third parties.

The consent given via the cookie banner can also be revoked at any time. The revocation can be made either via the link “Data protection settings” in the footer area of the page or via the shield symbol in the lower left corner of the browser window.

You also have the option to object to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website and to the processing of this data by Google in general and to prevent such collection. To do this, you must download and install a browser add-on from the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information on website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered an objection by Google. If you delete, format or reinstall the IT system at a later date, you must reinstall the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by you or another person who is attributable to your sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.

This website uses conversion optimization and conversion tracking functions from Google. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Conversion Tracking uses so-called “cookies”. These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable your use of the website to be analyzed. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Information on the standard contractual clauses to ensure the level of data protection when processing data in the USA can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/compliance/?hl=de

1.5 Google Signals

If you have given your consent in the Consent Manager (“Cookie Manager”), we also use the Google Signals service.

Google Signals are data that Google has collected from you on various channels (including across devices). This may include session data, data from website visits and articles, apps used, devices used, videos viewed and much more. The specific data depends on your usage profile and is only collected if you have given Google your consent. Google links all information if you are logged in with your Google account and visit websites on the Internet that also use Google Signals. Google will then link these activities. Your behavioral data is therefore recorded if you are logged into your account and have activated the personalized advertising option. You can find out how to make this setting here. Google Signals helps us to enrich the data obtained via Google Analytics and give us a better picture of users and interested parties so that we can provide you with even better tailored advertising and offers.

1.6 Google Analytics Remarketing

Our websites use the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing in conjunction with the cross-device functions of Google Ads and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

This function makes it possible to link the advertising target groups created with Google Analytics Remarketing with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. In this way, interest-based, personalised advertising messages that have been adapted to you depending on your previous usage and surfing behaviour on one end device (e.g., mobile phone) can also be displayed on another of your end devices (e.g., tablet or PC).

If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history to your Google Account for this purpose. In this way, the same personalised advertising messages can be served on every device on which you log in with your Google account.

To support this feature, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated IDs of users, which are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create target groups for cross-device ad advertising.

You can permanently object to cross-device remarketing/targeting by deactivating personalised advertising in your Google account; follow this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.

The aggregation of the collected data in your Google account is based solely on your consent, which you can give or revoke at Google (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). Further information and the data protection provisions can be found in Google’s data protection declaration at: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/.

1.7 Google AdWords and Google Conversion-Tracking

This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising programme of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”).

Within the framework of Google AdWords, we use so-called conversion tracking.

When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking.

Cookies are small text files that the internet browser stores on the user’s computer.

These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognise that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.

Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. The customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that personally identifies users. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking, you can object to this use by easily deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie via your internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

You can find more information about Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking in Google’s privacy policy:  https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.

IP anonymisation by Google

We have activated the IP anonymisation function on this website. This means that your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases (e.g. consent to the use of Google Signals) will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Browser plugin for opting out of cookies set by Google

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. In addition, you can prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (incl. your IP address) to Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Objection to data capture by Google

You can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set, which will prevent the collection of your data during future visits to this website: Deactivate Google Analytics. You can find more information on how Google Analytics handles user data in Google’s privacy policy:

https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

Order data processing contract with Google

We have concluded an order data processing contract with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Demographic characteristics in Google Analytics

This website uses the “demographic characteristics” function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be generated that contain statements about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google as well as visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as shown in the item “Objection to data collection”.

2. Data collection to enable access to our website

2.1 Cookies

These pages partly use so-called cookies. Cookies serve to make our offer 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 so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser on your next visit.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions you have requested (e.g., shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g., cookies to analyse your surfing behaviour) are stored, these are dealt with separately in this data protection declaration (see above).

2.2 Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address (this is only stored anonymously by us) This data is not merged with other data sources.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the technically error-free and optimised provision of our services.

2.3 Contact form

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of the data entered in the contact form is therefore based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. For this purpose, an informal communication by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you entered in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after we have completed processing your request). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

2.4 Registration on this website

You can register on our pages (store, trainer portal, online academy) with a password-protected customer or trainer account in order to use additional functions on the respective page. We will only use the data you enter for the purpose of using the respective offer or service for which you have registered. The mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise, we will reject the registration, as the respective task cannot be fulfilled without this data.

For important changes, for example in the scope of the offer or in the case of technically necessary changes, we will use the e-mail address provided during registration to inform you in this way.

The legal basis for the data entered during registration is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time. For this purpose, an informal communication by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data collected during registration will be stored by us for as long as you are registered on our website and will then be deleted. Legal retention periods remain unaffected.

2.5 Use of data for advertising purposes in the event of registration

In addition to processing your data to process your purchase and/ or service, if you register, we will also use your data, with your consent, to communicate with you about your orders, specific products or marketing promotions and to recommend products or services that may be of interest to you.

2.6 Use of data for the dispatch of goods and welcome gifts

If you order items in our store or would like to receive free welcome gifts as part of promotions, we will use your address and pass it on to shipping service providers.

2.7 Comment function on this website

For the comment function (for services and products) on this site, in addition to your comment, details of when the comment was created, your e-mail address and, if you do not post anonymously, the username you have chosen will be stored.

Storage of the IP address
Our comment function stores the IP addresses of users who post comments. We need this data to be able to take criminal action against the author in the event of legal violations such as insults or propaganda. 

Storage period of the comments
The comments and the associated data (e.g., IP address) are stored and remain on our website until the commented content has been completely deleted or the comments have to be deleted for legal reasons (e.g. offensive comments).

Legal basis
The storage of comments is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time. For this purpose, an informal communication by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

2.8 Processing of data (customer and contract data)

We also collect, process and use personal data if it is required for the establishment, content or amendment of the legal relationship (inventory data). This is done on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures. We collect, process and use personal data about the use of our Internet pages (usage data) only insofar as this is necessary to enable the user to use the service or to bill the user.

The collected customer data is deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

2.9 Data transfer upon conclusion of the contract for online shops, retailers and goods dispatch

We only transmit personal data to third parties if this is necessary within the framework of the contract processing, for example to the companies entrusted with the delivery of the goods or to the credit institution entrusted with the payment processing. Further transmission of data does not take place or only if you have expressly consented to the transmission. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent, for example for advertising purposes. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

2.10 Data transmission when concluding contracts for services and digital content

We only transmit personal data to third parties if this is necessary within the framework of the contract processing, for example to the credit institution commissioned with the payment processing.

Further transmission of data does not take place or only if you have expressly consented to the transmission. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent, for example for advertising purposes.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

 3. Social Media

The adequacy of the data transfer to the USA is guaranteed in each case by standard contractual clauses. We have concluded a joint responsibility agreement in accordance with Art. 26 of the GDPR with the providers, insofar as joint responsibility exists for the processing of the data.

Our pages use Google+ functions. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Collecting and sharing information: You can use the Google+ button to publish information around the world. Through the Google+ button, you and other users receive personalised content from Google and our partners. Google stores both the information that you have given +1 for a content and information about the page you were viewing when you clicked +1. Your +1s can be displayed as notices together 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 ads 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+ button, you need a globally visible, public Google profile, which must contain at least the name chosen for the profile. This name is used in all Google services. In some cases, this name may also replace another name you used when sharing content through your Google Account. The identity of your Google profile may be displayed to users who know your email address or have other identifying information about you.

Use of information collected: In addition to the uses explained above, the information you provide will be used in accordance with Google’s applicable privacy policy. Google may publish aggregate statistics about users’ +1 activities or share them with users and partners, such as publishers, advertisers or affiliated websites.
