2. Processing of personal data by providers of third-party plug-ins
The third-party plug-ins are embedded in the website by means of what is referred to as a “2-click solution.” With this solution, the respective plug-in is not acti-vated directly when visiting the website; this only occurs if you click on the activate button for the respective plug-in. The activate button features the name of the respective plug-in and, if applicable, a logo of the third-party provider.
The 2-click solution ensures that your internet browser does not initially connect to the server of the respective plug-in provider when visiting the website. This means that the provider of the respective plug-in cannot initially collect any personal data from you via the respective plug-in when you visit the website. It is only by clicking on the activate button for the respective plug-in that the respective plug-in is activated. Activation involves making a connection to the server of the respective plug-in provider. This allows the provider of the activated plug-in to collect personal data from you. Activating the respective plug-in is technically comparable to clicking on a link to an external website, the difference being that the content accessed does not appear in a new window/tab of your internet browser but is instead optically embedded in our website. The data exchange initiated by you through the activation and use of the plug-in takes place exclusive-ly between your internet browser and the servers of the respective plug-in provider. If you activate a third-party plug-in, you are therefore using a feature of-fered by the provider of the respective plug-in on its responsibility, which is optically embedded in the presentation of our website.
When activating the respective plug-in, the provider of the respective plug-in (comparable to accessing an external website through a link) may obtain, in par-ticular, your IP address and the address (URL) of the website from which you initiate the activation process. In addition, the provider of the activated plug-in may obtain information from any cookies of the respective provider stored in your internet browser. By simply initiating the activation process for the respective plug-in, you thus enable the provider of the respective plug-in to obtain, at a minimum, the information that our website was accessed via the IP address as-signed to you at the time of access. If you are registered as a user with the respective third-party provider, the provider of the respective plug-in is also typically able to attribute the data obtained to your user account. Please note that we have no knowledge of the specific data collected by the respective plug-in provider. Nor do we have any knowledge of the specific purposes of the processing of data collected by the provider of the respective plug-in, or of other details about the processing of data by the respective provider. In particular, we do not know whether the respective provider processes the data collected solely to provide the feature associated with the respective plug-in (e.g., sharing certain content or submitting comments) or for any other purposes (e.g., user profiling or personal-ized advertising).
You have the opportunity to order shipping materials on our website. We process personal data of users of the order form for the following purposes:
- To provide the ordering functionality on the website.
- To process orders for shipping materials.
- To retain it as evidence in order to establish, exercise, or defend any legal claims.
- To retain it in order to fulfill legal retention obligations, especially pursuant to commercial law and tax law.
- To ensure the security of the IT infrastructure used to provide the order form, in particular for the detection, elimination, and legally admissible documentation of faults/malfunctions (e.g., DDoS attacks).
