Legal Basis for Data Processing
In order to be able to offer you our website and the associated services, we process personal data based on the following legal grounds:
- Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR)
- For the fulfillment of contracts (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR)
- Based on a balancing of interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR)
- For the fulfillment of a legal obligation (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR)
In connection with the respective processing, we will refer to the corresponding terminology so that you can classify the basis on which we process personal data.
If personal data is processed based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time with effect for the future.
If we process data based on a balancing of interests, you, as the data subject, have the right to object to the processing of personal data, taking into account the requirements of Art. 21 GDPR.
Access Data
When you visit our websites, personal data is processed in order to display the content of the website on your device.
In order for the pages to be displayed in your browser, the IP address of the end device you are using must be processed. In addition, further information about your device's browser is processed.
We are legally obliged under data protection law to also ensure the confidentiality and integrity of the personal data processed with our IT systems.
For this purpose and based on this interest, the following data is logged based on a balancing of interests:
- IP address for faulty page calls ("Error Log") (for a maximum of 7 days)
- Operating system of the accessing computer
- Browser version of the accessing computer
- Name of the retrieved file
- Date and time of retrieval
- Volume of data transferred
- Referrer URL
The IP address will be deleted after at most 7 days from all systems used in connection with the operation of these websites. We can then no longer establish a personal reference from the remaining data.
The data is also used to identify and fix errors on the websites.
Contact Form
We offer a contact form on our website through which you can request information about our products or services or generally get in touch. We have marked the data fields strictly required to answer an inquiry as mandatory fields. Information in other data fields is voluntary.
We require this information to process your inquiry, address you correctly, and send you a reply. Data processing for specific inquiries occurs for the fulfillment of a contract or the initiation of a contract. For general inquiries, the processing is based on a balancing of interests.
Inquiries received via the contact form on our website are processed electronically by us to answer your request. In this context, other persons or departments and possibly third parties may also gain knowledge of the form contents you have transmitted.
The transmission of the form data over the Internet occurs via encrypted connections.
Newsletter
You can also subscribe to an email newsletter on our website. In addition to the voluntary information in the respective form, we only process your email address. This is, however, mandatory in order to be able to send you the newsletter.
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via st.ochmann@gmx.eu. Alternatively, you will find an unsubscribe link in every newsletter email.
To analyze the popularity of our newsletter mailings and to optimize them, we log when emails are opened and links are clicked. This usage analysis is carried out based on a balancing of interests. You can object to this processing by unsubscribing from the newsletter.
When sending the newsletter, our service provider ("Chimpify") may use service providers outside the European Union. In this case, the service provider ensures that the requirements for an adequate level of data protection within the meaning of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR are met.
Cookies
Cookies are used on our websites. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device via your browser. Cookies are required to enable certain functions of our websites.
We use both session cookies, which are automatically deleted by your browser immediately after the end of your visit to the websites.
In the area of web analysis, however, we also use so-called persistent cookies, which are not automatically deleted after the end of your visit to our website.
You have the option to prevent the setting of cookies by making the appropriate settings in your browser. However, we point out that the use of our websites may then only be possible to a limited extent. Cookies do not install or start programs or other applications on your computer.

Web Analysis
The web analysis tool "Stetic" is used on this website. The purpose of its use is the "needs-based design" of this website, which is carried out based on a balancing of interests. Web analysis also allows us to recognize and correct website errors, e.g., due to incorrect links. Stetic uses so-called "cookies." These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website.
You can prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website by opting out on this page.
Google Analytics
This website uses the service "Google Analytics", offered by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA), to analyze website usage by users. The service uses "cookies" – text files stored on your device. The information collected by the cookies is usually sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
IP anonymization is applied to this website. The IP address of users is shortened within the member states of the EU and the European Economic Area. Due to this shortening, the personal reference of your IP address is removed. Within the framework of the agreement on order data processing that the website operators have concluded with Google Inc., Google uses the collected information to evaluate website use and activity and provides services related to Internet use.
You have the option to prevent the storage of the cookie on your device by making the appropriate settings in your browser. It is not guaranteed that you will be able to access all functions of this website without restriction if your browser does not allow cookies.
Furthermore, you can prevent the collection of the information generated by cookies (including your IP address) by Google Inc. and the use of this data by Google Inc. by using a browser plug-in.

We select our service providers carefully – particularly with regard to data protection and data security – and take all data protection measures required for permissible data processing.
Affiliate Programs on This Website
The website operator participates in affiliate partner programs. If you click on an advertisement on our website that participates in the partner program and subsequently carry out a transaction (e.g., a purchase), we receive remuneration from our affiliate partners for this. For this to happen, it is necessary that our affiliate partners can identify you and track that you came to the respective product via the advertisement placed with us and carried out the predefined transaction. Our affiliate partners use cookies or comparable recognition technologies (e.g., Device Fingerprinting) for this purpose.
The storage and analysis of the data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the correct calculation of his affiliate remuneration. If corresponding consent has been requested (e.g., consent to the storage of cookies), the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; consent can be withdrawn at any time.
Amazon Partner Program
We participate in the partner program of Amazon EU S.à r.l. This program was developed by Amazon to enable advertisements and links to amazon.de on external websites. If you access Amazon via one of these links and make a purchase there, we receive a small commission – without any additional costs to you.
Amazon uses cookies to trace the origin of orders. This allows Amazon to recognize that you clicked on an affiliate link on our website.

Finally, you have a right to object to the processing within the framework of the legal requirements. The same applies to a right to data portability.
Deletion of Data
We generally delete personal data when there is no longer a requirement for further storage. A requirement may exist, in particular, if the data is still needed to fulfill contractual services, to check and grant or defend against warranty and, if applicable, guarantee claims. In the case of statutory retention obligations, deletion is only considered after the respective retention period has expired.
