In the following privacy policy, we would like to give you an overview of what happens to your data when you visit our website and webshop.
This English version is provided as a machine translation, of the original German text, for convenience and is intended for informational purposes only. In the event of any discrepancies, the German version shall prevail.
Protecting your data is important to us, and we comply with the applicable regulations to ensure this at all times. In our privacy policy, we provide you with a detailed overview of what happens to your data when you use our web services (web shop and website).
Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find their contact details in this website’s legal notice.
Some of your data is collected when you provide it to us. This may, for example, be data that you enter into a contact form.
Other data is collected automatically by our IT systems when you visit the website. This primarily includes technical information (e.g., your internet browser, operating system, or the time of your page visit). This data is gathered automatically as soon as you access our website.
Part of the data is collected to ensure the website is provided without errors. Other data may be used to analyze user behavior. The data you provide is used to process your contact request or to complete your purchase.
You may, at any time, assert the right to obtain free information about the origin, recipient, and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request the correction, blocking, or deletion of this data. For this purpose, as well as for other questions on the subject of data protection, you can contact us at any time using the address provided in the legal notice. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.
You also have the right, under certain circumstances, to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. Details can be found in the privacy policy under 'Right to restriction of processing'.
When you visit our website, your surfing behavior may be statistically evaluated. This happens primarily with cookies and so-called analysis programs. The analysis of your surfing behavior is usually anonymous; the surfing behavior cannot be traced back to you. You can object to this analysis or prevent it by not using certain tools. This privacy policy provides detailed information on the subject, including the objection options available to you.
The operators of these web pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
When you use this website, a range of personal data may be collected. Personal data is any data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g., communication by email) may involve security vulnerabilities. Complete protection against access by third parties cannot be guaranteed. Nevertheless, we take all necessary measures to minimize potential risks.
The responsible party for data processing on this website is:
Paul Peter Kaiser
Meisenstraße 79a
D-33607 Bielefeld
Phone: +49 521 26012 0
Email: PKaiser@avanis.de
The responsible party is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke an already given consent at any time. A simple informal email to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
When processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right, at any time, to object to the processing of your personal data for reasons related to your particular situation. This right also extends to profiling conducted under these provisions. Information on the legal basis for processing can be found in this privacy policy. If you exercise this right, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is [necessary] for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR).
You also have the right, at any time, to object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes. This right also extends to profiling when it is related to such marketing endeavors. Upon objection, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing (objection pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR).
If your rights under the GDPR are violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. This can be done particularly in the member state of your habitual residence, place of work, or where the alleged violation occurred. This right exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
You have the right to receive any data that we process automatically based on your consent or to fulfill a contract. The data can be provided to you or, upon request, transferred directly to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. Direct transfer to another service provider will only be carried out to the extent that it is technically feasible.
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of the browser changes from 'http://' to 'https://' and by the lock symbol in your browser address bar. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Under the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, including its origin, recipient, and the purpose of processing. You also have, where applicable, the right to correct, block, or delete this data. For this purpose, or any further questioning regarding your personal data, you can contact us at any time using the address provided in the legal notice.
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. For this purpose, you may contact us at any time using the address specified in the legal notice. This right applies in the following cases:
If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify your claim. For the duration of this verification process, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request the restriction of processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing instead of deletion
If you have objected in accordance with Art. 21(1) GDPR, an assessment must be made to balance your interests against ours. Until it is determined 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 – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent. It may also be processed for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.
The use of contact data published within the framework of the legal notice 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 the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.
Our websites use cookies – these do not harm your computer and do not contain any viruses. They help make our services more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device and saved by your browser.

The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If other cookies (e.g. cookies for analyzing your browsing behavior) are stored, they are treated separately in this privacy policy.
The provider of these pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These include:

The processing of the data entered in the contact form is therefore based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal email to us is sufficient. The legality of data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
If you contact us via email, phone, or fax, your inquiry including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not share this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) and/or on our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), as we have a legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us.
The data you send to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request the deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

The processing of the data entered during registration is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke any consent you have given at any time. An informal email to us is sufficient. The legality of data processing carried out prior to the revocation remains unaffected.
The data collected during registration will be stored for as long as your account remains active and will be deleted thereafter. Statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.
We collect, process, and use personal data only to the extent necessary for the establishment, structuring, or modification of a legal relationship (inventory data). This is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits data processing for the performance of a contract or for pre-contractual measures. We collect, process, and use personal data relating to the use of our website (usage data) only to the extent necessary to enable the use of the service or to bill the user for it.
Customer data collected for this purpose will be deleted once the order has been completed or the business relationship has ended. Statutory retention obligations remain unaffected
We transfer personal data to third parties only when necessary for contract fulfillment – for example, to the company entrusted with delivering goods or to the credit institution responsible for payment processing. No further transfer of data takes place unless you have expressly consented to it. Your data will not be disclosed to third parties for advertising purposes without your explicit consent.

How Instagram uses data from visits to Instagram pages for its own purposes, to what extent it associates activities with individual users, how long the data is stored, and whether it is shared with third parties, is not clearly stated by Instagram and is unknown to us.
When accessing an Instagram page, the IP address assigned to your device is transmitted to Instagram. According to Instagram, this IP address is anonymized (for “German” IP addresses) and deleted after 90 days. Instagram also stores information about users’ devices (e.g., for “login notifications”), which may allow Instagram to associate IP addresses with specific users.

This also applies to other Instagram pages. Through embedded Instagram button on external websites, Instagram can track your visits to those sites and link them to your profile, which can influence what content or ads you see.
If you want to avoid this, you should log out of Instagram or disable the “stay logged in” feature, delete the cookies stored on your device, and close and restart your browser. This removes data that could directly identify you and allows you to use our Instagram page without revealing your Instagram ID. When you use interactive feature (e.g., liking, commenting, messaging), an Instagram login window will appear – and once logged in Instagram can identify you again.
Information on managing or deleting data about you can be found in the Instagram Help Center.
As the provider of the Instagram page, we do not collect or process any further personal data from your use of our service.
