I. Geotargeting
We use the IP address and other information provided by the user (in particular the zip code when registering or ordering) to target regional target groups (so-called “geotargeting”).

The legal basis for the use of the IP address and any other information provided by the user (in particular postal code) is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR, based on our interest in ensuring a more precise target group approach and thus offers and advertising with greater relevance to provide to users.
Part of the IP address and the additional information provided by the user (particularly the zip code) are only read and are not stored separately.
You can prevent geotargeting by, for example, using a VPN or proxy server that prevents precise localization. In addition, depending on the browser you use, you can also deactivate location localization in the corresponding browser settings (if the respective browser supports this).
We use geotargeting on our website for the following purposes:

1. Duration of storage
Your personal information will be retained for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this privacy policy or as required by law, for example for tax and accounting purposes.

2. Transfer to third countries
When using the plugins marked with third country transfer or USA, personal data can be transferred to servers in the USA. The United States of America does not provide an adequate level of data protection based on a decision by the European Union. The main risk of the transfer lies in the obligation of the plugin providers to make user data accessible to American authorities under certain circumstances. There is currently an order processing agreement and suitable guarantees for third-country transfers with all providers, in particular through the conclusion of so-called standard data protection clauses in accordance with Article 46 (2) (c) GDPR. We are currently striving to make adjustments to the ECJ ruling of July 16, 2020 (Schrems II, Ref. C-311/18), including additional security precautions. We strive to conclude new standard data protection clauses after carrying out a so-called “transfer impact analysis”. Information about the current standard data protection clauses can be requested by sending us an informal email.

3. Possibility of revocation and removal
You have the right to revoke your data protection declaration of consent at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out based on the consent before its revocation.
You can prevent the collection and processing of your personal data by the respective providers by preventing the storage of third-party cookies on your computer, using the "Do Not Track" function of a supporting browser, or executing script code in your Deactivate your browser or install a script blocker such as NoScript ( https://noscript.net/ ) or Ghostery ( https://www.ghostery.com ) in your browser.
