Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to the collection of data in special cases as well as to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

If the data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data concerned unless we can prove compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims (opposition under Art. 21 sec. 1 GDPR).

The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data concerned unless we can prove compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims (opposition under Art. 21 sec. 1 GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling in so far as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (opposition under Art. 21 sec. 2 GDPR).

Right to complain to the competent supervisory authority

In the event of breaches of the GDPR, the persons concerned shall have the right to complain to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to appeal is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically processed on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done if it is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or requests you send to us as a site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by changing the address line of the browser from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser line. If SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you submit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, deletion and rectification

Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing and, if necessary, a right to rectification or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint for further questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to restrict processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases: If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the examination, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. If the processing of your personal data has been/happens unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion. If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion. If you have filed an objection under Article 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be made between your interests and our interests. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may be processed, except for its storage, only with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

Objection to promotional e-mails

The use of contact data published within the scope of the imprint obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby objected to. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, e.g. by spam e-mails.

5. Data collection on this website

Cookies

Our websites use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or until your web browser automatically deletes them.

In some cases, cookies from third parties may also be stored on your device when you enter our website (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain services provided by the third-party company (e.g. cookies for the processing of payment services). Cookies have different functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies are used to evaluate user behaviour or display advertisements.

Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process (necessary cookies) or to provide certain functions that you wish for (functional cookies, e.g. for shopping cart function) or to optimize the website (e.g. cookies to measure the web audience) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless otherwise stated legal basis. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies has been requested, the storage of the cookies in question is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. a GDPR); consent can be revoked at any time.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and enable the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. When disabling cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Insofar as cookies are used by third parties or for analysis purposes, we will inform you about this separately within the framework of this data protection declaration and, if necessary, request your consent.

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 browser version
  • operating system used
  • referrer URL
  • host name of the accessing machine
  • time of server request
  • IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources.

The collection of this data is based on Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website – for this purpose, the server log files must be recorded.

Contact

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

The processing of this data is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. b GDPR, provided that your request is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been queried.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage is omitted (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular retention periods, remain unaffected.

Registration on this website

You can register on our website to use additional features on the site. We use the data entered for this purpose only for the purpose of using the respective offer or service for which you have registered. The required information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise, we will refuse registration.

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

The processing of the data entered during registration is based on your consent (Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time. An informal message by e-mail to us is sufficient for this purpose. The legality of the data processing that has already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.

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

Request by e-mail, telephone or fax

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your request, including any personal data (name, request) resulting from it, will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not share this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. b GDPR, provided that your request is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been queried.

The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage is omitted (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular statutory retention periods, remain unaffected.

Comment function on this website

For the comment function on this page, in addition to your comment, information about the time the comment is created, your e-mail address and, if you do not post anonymously, the username you have chosen will be saved.

Storage of the IP address

Our comment function stores the IP addresses of the users who write comments. Since we do not review comments on this website before activation, we need this data in order to be able to take action against the author in case of violations of the law such as insults or propaganda.

Subscribe to comments

As a user of the site, you can subscribe to comments after signing in. You will receive a confirmation email to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided. You can unsubscribe from this function at any time via a link in the info mails. The data entered as part of subscribing to comments will be deleted in this case; however, if you have provided this data to us for other purposes and elsewhere (e.g. ordering newsletters), this data will remain with us.

Storage time of comments

The comments and related data (e.g. IP address) are stored and remain on this website until the commented content has been completely deleted or the comments need to be deleted for legal reasons (e.g. offensive comments).

Legal basis

The comments are stored on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time. An informal message by e-mail to us is sufficient for this purpose. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.

6. Social media

Social Media Plugins

This website uses plugins from social media (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, XING, LinkedIn, Tumblr).
You can usually recognize the plugins by the respective social media logos. In order to ensure data protection on this website, we only use these plugins together with the so-called “Shariff” solution. This application prevents the plugins integrated on this website from transferring data to the respective provider as soon as they enter the site.
Only when you activate the respective plugin by clicking on the corresponding button, a direct connection to the server of the provider is established (consent). As soon as you activate the plugin, the respective provider receives the information that you have visited with your IP address of this website. If you are logged into your respective social media account (e.g. Facebook) at the same time, the respective provider can assign the visit to this website to your user account.
The activation of the plugin constitutes consent within the meaning of Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future.

7. Analysis tools and advertising

Matomo

This website uses the open source web analysis service Matomo. Matomo uses technologies that enable cross-page recognition of the user for the analysis of user behavior (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Matomo about the use of this website is stored on our server. The IP address is anonymized before storage.

Matomo cookies remain on your device until you delete them.

The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the anonymised analysis of user behaviour in order to optimize both its website and its advertising. If a 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 sec. 1 lit. a GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.

The information collected by Matomo about the use of this website will not be passed on to third parties.

The information generated by the cookie about the use of this website will not be passed on to third parties. You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to the full extent.

If you do not agree with the storage and use of your data, you can deactivate the storage and use here. In this case, an opt-out cookie is stored in your browser, which prevents Matomo from storing usage data. Deleting your cookies will also delete the Matomo opt-out cookie. The opt-out must be reactivated when you visit this website again.

You have the option of preventing actions you have taken here from being analyzed and linked. This will protect your privacy, but will also prevent the owner from learning from your actions and improving usability for you and other users.

Your visit to this website is currently covered by Matomo Web Analysis. Uncheck box for opt-out.

8. Newsletter

Newsletter data

If you wish to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require you to provide an e-mail address as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. Further data are not collected or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for the sending of the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form is carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the e-mail address and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the “Unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.

After you have left the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored in a blacklist with us or the newsletter service provider in order to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used only for this purpose and is not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You may object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

Mailchimp

This website uses MailChimp to send newsletters. The provider is MailChimp Attn. Privacy Officer 675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308 USA.

MailChimp is a service that can be used to organize and analyze newsletters, among other things. The data you enter for the purpose of receiving the newsletter is stored on the servers of MailChimp.

If you do not want an analysis by Mailchimp, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message.

Data analysis by Mailchimp

When we send newsletters with the help of Mailchimp, we can determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links may have been clicked.

Mailchimp also allows us to divide newsletter recipients by different categories (so-called tagging). The newsletter recipients can be divided by gender, personal preferences (e.g. vegetarianor or non-vegetarian) or customer relationship (e.g. customer or potential customer). In this way, the newsletters can be better adapted to the respective target groups. For more information, please visit: https://mailchimp.com/

Therefore, if you do not want an analysis by Mailchimp, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly from the website.

Legal basis

The data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.

Storage time

The data you have stored with us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you are sent out of the newsletter and deleted from both our servers and mailchimp servers after you have unsubscribed from the newsletter. Data that has been stored for other purposes (e.g. e-mail addresses for the member area) remain unaffected by this.

For more information, please refer to Mailchimp’s privacy policy at:
https://mailchimp.com/legal/
https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/
https://mailchimp.com/legal/cookies/

Conclusion of a contract for order processing

We have signed an order processing contract with Mailchimp in which we oblige Click Tip to protect our customers’ data and not to pass it on to third parties.

9. Webinars

Webinar data

If you wish to view the webinar offered on the website, we require you to provide an e-mail address as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified e-mail address and that you agree to receive the webinar data.

You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the e-mail address and their use for sending the webinar data at any time, for example via the “Unsubscribe” link in the webinar form. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data stored by you for the purpose of webinar data reference with us will be stored by us until you are sent out of the newsletter and deleted after the broadcast. Data that has been stored for other purposes (e.g. e-mail addresses for the member area) remain unaffected by this.

10. Plugins and Tools

YouTube with enhanced privacy

This website integrates videos from YouTube. The site is operated by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in advanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode does not allow YouTube to store information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, the extended data protection mode does not necessarily exclude the transfer of data to YouTube partners. This way, youTube connects to the Google DoubleClick network, regardless of whether you’re watching a video.

As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection is made to the servers of YouTube. The YouTube server will be informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Furthermore, after starting a video, YouTube can store various cookies on your device or use similar recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting). In this way, YouTube can receive information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve usability and prevent fraud.

If necessary, after starting a YouTube video, further data processing operations may be triggered, over which we have no influence.

The use of YouTube is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. a GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.

For more information about youTube’s privacy policy, please see their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

Google Web Fonts

This page uses so-called web fonts provided by Google to provide uniform appearance of fonts. The Google Fonts are installed locally. A connection to Google servers does not take place.

For more information about Google Web Fonts, see https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

Privacy Policy for our social media appearances
Data processing through social networks

We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The social networks we use in detail can be found below.

Social networks such as Facebook can usually comprehensively analyze your user behavior when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. like buttons or advertising banners). By visiting our social media presences, numerous data protection-relevant processing processes are triggered. In detail:

If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. However, your personal data may also be collected if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data collection takes place, for example, via cookies, which are stored on your terminal device or by collecting your IP address.

With the help of the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. In this way, you can see interest-based advertising inside and outside your social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, the interest-based advertisement may be displayed on all devices on which you are logged in or logged in.

Please also note that we cannot track all processing processes on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, further processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. Details of this can be found in the terms of use and data protection provisions of the respective social media portals.

Legal basis

Our social media presences are intended to ensure the widest possible presence on the Internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal bases, which must be indicated by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent within the meaning of Article 6 sec. 1 lit. a GDPR).

Responsible and assertion of rights

When you visit one of our social media sites (e.g. Facebook), we are jointly responsible for the data processing operations triggered during this visit together with the operator of the social media platform. You can assert your rights (information, rectification, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability and complaint) both in our right and please of the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g. Facebook).

Please note that despite our joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have a full influence on the data processing processes of the social media portals. Our possibilities depend significantly on the company policy of the respective provider.

Storage time

The data collected directly by us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for their storage is omitted, you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for the data storage is omitted. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions – in no matter retention periods remain unaffected.

We have no influence on the storage time of your data, which is stored by the operators of the social networks for their own purposes. For details, please contact the social network operators directly (e.g. in their privacy policy, see below).
