A word in advance:
We are pleased that you are visiting our website and thank you for your interest. In the following, we inform you about the handling of your personal data when using our website. The format of this information is largely determined by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which is valid throughout Europe. Personal data is all data with which you can be personally identified.
The security of your data and the protection of your personal rights are important to us. We use the data transmitted to us exclusively for processing your inquiries, orders, and deliveries, and for optimizing our website.
TOPLICHT does not sell your data to third parties - be it personal data or other data. You can rely on that.
That is a matter of honour for us!
The Controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation and other national data protection laws of the Member States, as well as other data protection provisions, is:
TOPLICHT GmbH

We generally process the personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The processing of our users' personal data regularly takes place only with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where obtaining prior consent is not possible for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by statutory provisions.
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations of personal data, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
For the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, and such interests are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Storage may take place beyond this if provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the Controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted when a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a necessity for continued storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.
Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer.
The following data are collected:
The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.
The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.
Storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data serves us to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. Data analysis for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.
Our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR also lies in these purposes.
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. In the case of collecting data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session is ended.
In the case of data storage in log files, this is the case after no later than thirty-one days.
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility for the user to object.
Our website uses technically necessary cookies as well as advertising cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the internet browser or by the internet browser on the user's computer system. When a user calls up a website, a cookie can be stored on the user's operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic string of characters that enables the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is called up again.
We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require that the calling browser can be identified even after changing pages.
The following data are stored and transmitted in the cookies:
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using technically necessary cookies is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using advertising cookies (including Google Ads cookies and all non-essential cookies) is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR in conjunction with Section 25 Para. 1 TTDSG.
The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of websites for users. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For these, it is necessary that the browser is recognized again even after changing pages.
We need cookies for the following applications:
The user data collected through technically necessary cookies are not used to create user profiles.
Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted from it to our site. Therefore, you as the user also have full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your internet browser, you can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies. Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all functions of the website to their full extent.
Our website uses the open-source web analysis service Matomo. The information recorded by Matomo about the use of this website is stored on our server. Before archiving, the IP address is first anonymized by truncating the last six digits of the IP address before it is stored.
Matomo enables us to collect and evaluate data on the use of our website. For example, we can determine when which page views occurred and from which region they came. In addition, we collect various log files (e.g., anonymized IP address, referrer, browser, and operating system used) and can anonymously measure whether our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g., clicks, purchases, etc.).
We use so-called "cookie-less tracking" for our web analysis with Matomo, meaning no cookies are stored.
All visits and raw action data are deleted after 36 months and 1 day.

We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with the above-mentioned provider. This is a data protection contract that guarantees that they process personal data of our website visitors only based on our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
This website uses the Google Tag Manager. The Tag Manager itself does not set any cookies and does not collect any personal data. It is only used to manage website tags via a user interface and enables us to integrate other tools (such as Google Ads). The Google Tag Manager triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. This is explained in the corresponding sections of this privacy policy. Deactivation at the domain or cookie level affects all tracking tags implemented with the Google Tag Manager.
Operating company of the Google Tag Manager:
Google Ireland Limited
Gordon House, Barrow Street
Dublin 4, Ireland
Legal basis: Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR (Legitimate interest in the simple and efficient management of our tags) or Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR (Your consent, insofar as the tags triggered via the GTM require consent).
This website uses the online advertising program "Google Ads" and, within this framework, the Conversion Tracking from Google. Google Conversion Tracking is used to measure the effectiveness of our advertisements. When you click on an ad served by Google, a cookie for Conversion Tracking is set. This cookie is used to recognize the web browser and expires after 90 days. It is not used for personal identification of the user.
If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Every Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot therefore be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Google Ads customers.
In addition, we use the Remarketing function within the Google Ads service. With the Remarketing function, we can present users of our website with interest-based advertisements on other websites within the Google advertising network (in Google Search or on YouTube, so-called "Google Ads" or on other websites). For this purpose, the interaction of users on our website is analyzed, e.g., which offers the user was interested in. Google stores a cookie on the users' end devices for this purpose.
The use of Google Ads Conversion Tracking and Remarketing services (including the storage of cookies) only takes place after your express consent (opt-in). The legal basis is therefore Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR in conjunction with Section 25 Para. 1 TTDSG.
Operating company of Google Ads:
Google Ireland Limited
Gordon House, Barrow Street
Dublin 4, Ireland
Right to Object and Means of Removal:
You can revoke your consent at any time for the future and prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly. Furthermore, you can permanently deactivate personalized advertising by Google by following the link https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/ and following the instructions provided there.
