What personal data we collect and why we collect it.
Comments
When visitors post comments on the website, we collect the data displayed in the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and user agent string (this identifies the browser) to help detect spam.
An anonymised string may be created from your email address (also called a hash) and passed to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The privacy policy of the Gravatar service can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment has been approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible in the context of your comment.
Media
If you are a registered user and upload photos to this website, you should avoid uploading photos with an EXIF GPS location. Visitors to this website may download photos stored on this website and extract their location information.
Use of Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to analyse website usage. The data obtained from this is used to optimise our website as well as advertising measures.
Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States). Google processes website usage data on our behalf and is contractually obligated to take measures to ensure the confidentiality of the processed data.
During your visit to the website, the following data is recorded, among others:
- Pages viewed
- Orders incl. the turnover and the products ordered
- The achievement of “website goals” (e.g. contact requests and newsletter sign-ups)
- Your behaviour on the pages (for example, clicks, scrolling behaviour and dwell time)
- Your approximate location (country and city)
- Your IP address (in anonymised form, so that no clear allocation is possible)
- Technical information such as browser, internet provider, terminal device and screen resolution
- Source of origin of your visit (i.e. via which website or advertising material you came to us)
This data is transferred to a Google server in the USA. Google observes the data protection provisions of the “EU-US Privacy Shield” agreement.
Google Analytics stores cookies in your web browser for a period of two years since your last visit. These cookies contain a randomly generated user ID with which you can be recognised on future website visits.
The recorded data is stored together with the randomly generated user ID, which enables the evaluation of pseudonymous user profiles. This user-related data is automatically deleted after 14 months. Other data remains stored in aggregated form indefinitely.

How long we store your data
When you post a comment, it is saved indefinitely, including metadata. This allows us to automatically detect and approve follow-up comments instead of keeping them in a moderation queue.

If you have an account on this website or have posted comments, you may request an export of your personal information from us, including any information you have provided to us. You can also request the deletion of any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data that we need to keep for administrative, legal or security purposes.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be examined by an automated spam detection service.
