Privacy Policy
Data Controller
The Controller for the data processing operations described below is the office named in our legal notice.
Usage Data
When you visit our website, our web server temporarily evaluates usage data for statistical purposes in order to improve the quality of our website. This data consists of the following data categories:
- the name and address of the requested content,
- the date and time of the query,
- of the transferred data volume,
- the access status (content transferred, content not found),
- the description of the used web browser and operating system,
- the referral link, which indicates from which page you reached ours,
- the IP address of the requesting computer, which is shortened in such a way that a personal reference can no longer be established.
The above-mentioned log data will only be evaluated anonymously.
Storage of IP Adresses for Security Purposes
We store the complete IP address transmitted by your web browser for a period of seven days in the interest of detecting, limiting and eliminating attacks on our web pages. After this period, we delete or anonymize the IP address.
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
Data security
We take technical and organizational measures to protect your data as comprehensively as possible from unwanted access. These measures include encryption procedures on our web pages. Your data is transferred from your computer to our server and vice versa via the internet using TLS encryption .
You can usually recognize this by the fact that the lock symbol in the status bar of your browser is closed and the address line begins with https://.
Necessary Cookies
On our website, we use cookies which are necessary in order for the site to function.
Cookies are small text files that can be placed on your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit.
A distinction is made between session cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close your browser, and permanent cookies, which are stored beyond the individual session.
We do not use these necessary cookies for analysis, tracking or advertising purposes.
In some cases, these cookies only contain information on certain settings and cannot be linked to a person. They may also be necessary to enable user guidance, security and implementation of the site.
The legal basis for using these cookies is our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
You can set your browser to inform you about the placement of cookies. This is in order to make the use of cookies transparent for you.
You can also delete cookies or prevent the setting of new cookies at any time by using the appropriate browser settings.
Please note that if you delete certain cookies, our web pages may not be displayed correctly and some functions may no longer be available.
| Cookie name | Provider | Purpose | Maximu Storage Period | Adequate level of data protection |
| borlabs-cookie | all4labels.com | Saves the visitors preferences selected in the Cookie Box of Borlabs Cookie | 1 Year | Data is sent to: Unknown (not adequate) |
| _cf_bm | myfonts.net | This cookie is used to distinguish between humans and bots. This is beneficial for the website, in order to make valid reports on the use of their website. | 1 Day | Data is sent to: Unknown (not adequate) |
Google Analytics
We use the web analysis tool “Google Analytics” to design our websites according to your needs. Google Analytics creates user profiles based on pseudonyms. For this purpose, permanent cookies are stored on your end device and accessed out by us. In this way we are able to recognize and measure returning visitors.
The Google Analytics tool is provided by Google Ireland Limited and Google LLC. (USA) who support us as processors according to Art. 28 GDPR. The data processing can therefore also take place outside the EU or EEA. With regard to Google LLC (USA), no adequate level of data protection can be assumed due to the processing in the USA. There is a risk that authorities may access the data for security and surveillance purposes without you being informed or having the right to appeal.
Please take this into account if you decide to give your consent to our use of Google Analytics.
The legal basis for this data processing is your consent if you have given your consent via our consent banner.
The transfer to a third country takes place on the basis of Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR.
You can withdraw your consent at any time. Please follow this link and make the appropriate settings via our banner.
Third party tracking technologies for advertising purposes
We use cross-device tracking technologies to help us show you targeted advertising on other websites based on your visit to our websites and to help us determine how effective our advertising efforts have been.
The legal basis for this data processing is your consent if you have given your consent via our consent banner.
Your consent is voluntary and can be withdrawn at any time.
How does tracking work?
When you visit our websites, it is possible that the third-party providers listed below may retrieve identification characteristics of your browser or terminal device (e.g. a browser fingerprint), evaluate your IP address, save or extract identification characteristics on your terminal device (e.g. cookies) or gain access to individual tracking pixels.
The individual characteristics can be used by these third parties to identify your terminal device on other websites. We may commission these third-party providers to show you advertisements based on the pages visited on our website.
What does cross-device tracking mean?
If you log on to the third-party provider with your user data, the respective identification characteristics of different browsers and end devices can be linked with each other. For example, if the third-party provider has created a unique identifier for each laptop, desktop personal computer, smartphone or tablet you use, these individual identifiers can be associated with each other as soon as you log in to a third-party service using your login credentials. This allows the third party to target our advertising campaigns across multiple devices.
Which third-party providers do we use in this context?
The third-party providers with whom we work for advertising purposes are listed below. If the data is processed outside the EU or EEA in this context, please note that there is a risk that local authorities may access the data for security and monitoring purposes without you being informed or having the right to appeal. Where we use providers in third countries without an adequate level of protection and you give your consent, the transfer to this third country is based on Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR.

Contact Form
You may contact us third-party via our contact form. In order to use our contact form, we will require you to provide the data marked as mandatory.
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, being our legitimate interest to respond to your request.
You can decide whether or not you would like to provide us with further information. This information is provided voluntarily and is not required to contact us.
We process your voluntary details on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
Your data will only be processed to process your request. We will delete your data if they are no longer required and there are no legal obligations to retain them.
Where the processing of your data which is transmitted via the contact form is based on legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, you have the right to object to that processing at any time. To do so, please use the email address provided in the imprint.
In addition, you can withdraw your consent to the processing of your voluntarily provided information at any time. To do so, please use the email address provided in the imprint.
Map Service
On our websites, we embed map services which are not stored on our servers. In order to prevent the automatic downloading of third-party content when you visit our web sites with embedded map services, we only show locally stored preview images of the maps as a first step. This does not provide the third-party provider with any information.
Only after you click on the preview image, will third-party content be downloaded. This provides the third party with information that you have accessed our site and with the usage data technically required for this purpose. We have no influence on the further data processing by the third-party provider.
By clicking on the preview image, you give us the consent to download contents of the third-party provider.
The legal basis for the embedding processing is your consent if you have previously given your consent by clicking on the preview image.
Please note that the embedding of some map services means that your data may be processed outside the EU or EEA. In some countries, there is a risk that authorities may access the data for security and surveillance purposes without informing you or allowing you to take legal action. Where we use providers in third countries without an adequate level of protection and you give your consent, the transfer to this third country is based on Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR.
| Provider | Maximum storage period | Adequate level of data protection | Withdrawal of consent |
| Google LLC (USA) | No adequate level of data protection. The data is transferred on the basis of Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR. | If you have clicked on a preview image, the content of the third-party provider is immediately downloaded. To avoid this downloading on other sites, please do not click on the preview image. | |
| OpenStreetMap | No adequate level of data protection. The data is transferred on the basis of Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR. | If you have clicked on a preview image, the content of the third-party provider is immediately downloaded. To avoid this downloading on other sites, please do not click on the preview image. |
Captcha
To protect our web forms from automated requests, we use a third-party captcha function. The captcha function automatically captures all user input and mouse movements that you make on our website (regardless of whether you visit pages that contain web forms or not). The data collected in this way is used to determine whether the input comes from a person or an automated program.
As the Captcha function is provided by a third party, displaying the captcha will cause third-party content to be downloaded. This provides the third party with information that you have accessed our site and with the usage data technically required for this purpose. In this respect, the third-party provider also receives your IP address, which is technically required to retrieve the content.
We have no influence on the further data processing by the third-party provider.
The legal basis for this data processing is your consent if you have given your consent via our cookie banner.
Please note that the use of the Captcha function may result in your data being processed outside the EU or EEA. In some countries, there is a risk that authorities may access the data for security and surveillance purposes without informing you or allowing you to take legal action. Where we use providers in third countries without an adequate level of protection and you give your consent, the transfer to this third country is based on Art. 49(1) (a) GDPR.

The legal basis for the data processing is our legitimate interest to be able to account for the legality of the newsletter delivery according to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
Embedding of additional technical third-party content and functions
We use functions and content of the third-party providers listed below to enhance our websites.
Calling up our websites will lead to downloading contents of the third-party providers who provide these functions and contents. As a result, the third-party provider receives the information that you have visited our site as well as the usage data technically required for this purpose.
We have no control over the further data processing by the third-party provider.
The legal basis for this data processing is your consent if you have previously given your consent via our banner/ consent management system.

Where we use providers in third countries without an adequate level of protection and you give your consent, the transfer to this third country is based on Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR.
