We host our website with webgo. The provider is webgo GmbH, Heidenkampsweg 81, 20097 Hamburg, Germany (hereinafter referred to as “webgo”). When you visit our website, webgo collects various log files including your IP address.
For more details, please refer to webgo’s privacy policy: https://www.webgo.de/datenschutz/ https://www.webgo.de/datenschutz/.
The use of webgo is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the most reliable presentation of our website. If consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with the above-mentioned provider. This is a contract required by data protection law that ensures that the provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
The operators of this website 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, various personal data are collected. Personal data is data that can be used to personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
We point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., communication by email) may have security vulnerabilities. A complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
The responsible party for data processing on this website is:
W.E.St. Elektronik GmbH
Gewerbering 31
41372 Niederkrüchten
Phone: +49 (0)2163 577 355-0
Email: contact@w-e-st.de
The responsible party is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).
Unless a more specific storage period is stated in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR if special categories of data are processed according to Art. 9(1) GDPR. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing is also based on § 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for pre-contractual measures, we process your data based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if required to fulfill a legal obligation based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The relevant legal basis in each individual case is explained in the following sections of this privacy policy.
We use tools from companies based in the USA or other non-secure third countries in terms of data protection. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these countries. We point out that these countries may not guarantee a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you being able to take legal action against this. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence services) may process, evaluate, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME, FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE, OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. This right exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of this data. You can contact us at any time regarding this and other questions on the subject of personal data.
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to do so. The right to restriction applies in the following cases:
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data – apart from being stored – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the address line of the browser from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
We hereby object to the use of contact data published within the scope of the legal notice obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials. The operators of the website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited promotional information, such as spam emails.
Our websites use so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small text files that do not harm your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them or your web browser deletes them automatically.
Some cookies may be stored by third-party companies when you enter our site (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain services provided by the third party (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., shopping cart or video display). Other cookies are used to evaluate user behavior or display advertising.
Cookies necessary for electronic communication, providing certain functions you desire (e.g., shopping cart), or optimizing the website (e.g., measuring web audience) are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent for storing cookies and similar technologies has been requested, processing is based solely on this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time.
You can configure your browser to notify you about cookie settings and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and enable automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
If cookies from third-party companies or for analysis purposes are used, we will inform you separately within this privacy policy and, if necessary, request your consent.
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:
This data is not merged with other data sources.
The collection of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website – for this purpose, the server log files must be collected.
If you contact us by 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 our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), if requested; consent can be revoked at any time.
The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.
This website uses the open-source web analytics service Matomo. Matomo uses technologies that allow cross-site recognition of users to analyze user behavior (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Matomo about the use of this website is stored on our server. The IP address is anonymized before storage.
With Matomo, we can collect and analyze data about the use of our website by visitors. This allows us to determine, for example, when which pages were accessed and from which region. We also collect various log files (e.g., IP address, referrer, browser used, operating systems) and can measure whether visitors perform certain actions (e.g., clicks, purchases).
The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its website and its advertising. If appropriate consent has been requested, processing is based solely on this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time.
We use IP anonymization with Matomo. This means your IP address is shortened before analysis so that it can no longer be clearly assigned to you.
We host Matomo exclusively on our own servers, so all analysis data remains with us and is not passed on.
This website embeds videos from YouTube. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, data transfer to YouTube partners is not necessarily excluded by the enhanced privacy mode.
As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. The YouTube server is informed which of our pages you visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
After starting a video, YouTube may store cookies on your device or use similar recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting). This allows YouTube to obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent fraud.
Further data processing operations may be triggered after starting a YouTube video, over which we have no control.
The use of YouTube is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings. This constitutes a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If consent has been requested, processing is based solely on this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time.
More information on data protection at YouTube can be found in their privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

The use of Wordfence is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the most effective protection of its website against cyberattacks. If appropriate consent has been requested, processing is based solely on this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time.
