1. Server data collection
When you visit our site, various server statistics are automatically stored, which your browser sends to our provider’s server. The name of the accessed website, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the operating system of the user, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider are logged.
This data is used for the statistical evaluation of visits to our site and cannot be connected to specific persons.
The legal basis for the data collection is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. A combination of this data with other data sources is not made. The IP address is anonymized. Our justifiable interest in collecting this data is based on the fact that we can use the data to optimize our offer for users, e.g. by preventing access from malicious sites or optimizing access via certain browsers, and the log of the IP address enables the delivery of the page to the visitor.
In principle, you have a right to object to this data collection. This is exceptionally factually out of the question here, since otherwise the use of the page would be impossible.
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the above-mentioned purposes.
1a. Security of data transmission
For the transmission of your data we use a secure server with SSL technology (Secure Socket Layer) with a 128-bit encryption. This is how your data is transmitted to us securely and unreadable for unauthorized persons.
Your passwords are hashed, i.e. stored cryptologically, and are thus protected from access by third parties as well as the responsible parties.
1b. Transmission to third countries (Art. 13 para. 1 f DS-GVO)
It is possible that, in the course of calling up and using our website and associated offers, data may be transmitted to third countries via subcontractors or companies affiliated with them. Potential risks here may include unenforceable data subject rights and a lower level of data protection. We minimize the risk as far as possible by concluding order processing contracts (if such a contractual relationship exists) and standard contractual clauses including effective amendments required by the supervisory authorities.
2. Use and passing on of personal data

Legal basis: If a contractual relationship develops from the inquiry by way of contract initiation or if the inquiry relates to an existing contractual relationship, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) DSGVO, as the storage of the data is necessary for the fulfillment of a pre-contractual or contractual obligation. Furthermore, we also have a justifiable interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO in processing the data for the purpose of communicating with you and responding to your inquiries.
The deletion of the data takes place when the purpose of the storage has ceased to exist, i.e. after answering your e-mail/contact-form inquiry or when the matter related to the inquiry has been conclusively clarified. In the case of an existing contractual relationship or a contractual relationship resulting from the inquiry, the deletion takes place after the expiration of the legal retention periods.
Regarding the right to deletion and information, see section 6 below on your data subject rights.

The legal basis for the collection and storage of data within the scope of registration is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) as well as Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) DSGVO within the scope of contract performance.
Deletion takes place when you unsubscribe from our site or revoke your consent to the use of this data, without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent, unless legal retention periods, e.g. for invoice records, interfere. In these cases, blocking replaces deletion.

3. Cookies
3.1 Cookies
The Internet pages use so-called cookies in several areas. They serve to make our offer more user-friendly, more effective and more secure. A cookie is a piece of text information that our website places on the terminal device you are using via the web browser. Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. We also use cookies that recognize your browser when you log in to the customer account and make it easier for you to access the stored content, the shopping cart and other stored settings.
Legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interest results from the fact that we only facilitate the retrievability of the page for you with the aforementioned cookies, do not collect any tracking data in the process and thus no interference with your personal rights and fundamental freedoms occurs.
You can exclude the acceptance of cookies in your web browser. However, this can possibly lead to impairments in functionality. For your further data subject rights, see section 6 below.
These cookies are only valid for the duration of your browser session and are deleted when you end your visit to our site.
3.2. Cookie Consent Tool
In order to be able to administer your consent to the use of tracking tools, we use the cookie consent tool “Free GDPR + Cookie Management” from the provider iSenseLabs. In this context, in addition to the connection data, the granting or refusal of your consent or the withdrawal from consent will be processed. In order to be able to make the appropriate assignment, the cookie consent tool also sets a cookie in your browser. If you want to withdraw from these settings, simply delete the cookies in your browser. For more information on data protection, please visit: https://gdpr.apps.isenselabs.com/pages/privacy_policy.
The use of the cookie consent tool takes place in order to collect the legally required consents for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. c DSGVO.
If you wish to use one of the above-mentioned consent tools, please inform us accordingly. We will then amend the corresponding passage in the data protection declaration accordingly.
4. Google Tag Manager
Our website uses the Google Tag Manager. The responsible party is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Ireland transmits data to Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, to which we always draw your attention. For more information on whether and what data is collected by Google through the use of these services, please see Google’s Privacy Policy.
With this solution, so-called tags are created and updated, which we can then manage. The Tag Manager implements tags from the services we use and thus triggers other tags. The tool itself does not collect any personal data, yet only serves to manage. However, the tags triggered by this may independently collect personal data (see below for more on this). However, the Google Tag Manager does not access this collected data. When the tool is deactivated, the deactivation takes effect for all tags implemented via the tool.
4a. Google Analytics
This website uses the web analytics service Google Analytics. Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies” for the purpose of analyzing user behavior on the website as well as for measuring the reach of the website. An overview of how Google uses cookies and which cookies are used can be found in this Overview.
In addition, we use the technical extension “Google Signals”, which enables cross-device tracking. Thus, an association of a single website visitor with different end devices takes place. However, this only happens if you have logged into a Google service when visiting the website and at the same time have activated the “personalized advertising” option in your Google account settings.
The legal basis for the collection and storage of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a) DSGVO. By activating Google Anlaytics in the GDPR/CCPA + Cookie Management of iSenseLabs you agree to the processing of your data for Google Analytics. We have extended Google Analytics on our website with the code “gat._anonymizeIp();” to ensure anonymized collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). Therefore, it is not possible for us to assign the collected analysis data to a specific person.
Data transfer to third countries: The information generated by the cookies about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google LLC server in the USA and stored there. However, due to the activated IP anonymization on this website, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google.
We have entered into EU standard contractual clauses with Google, with which Google demonstrates to us that it complies with appropriate and suitable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data.
Withdrawal:
You can withdraw your consent at any time by deleting all set (consent) cookies in your browser.
If you do not wish the use of “Google Signals”, you can deactivate the “personalized advertising” option in your Google account settings.
You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent the acquisition of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing, available at the following link, the Browser-A Browser Add-on.
The aforementioned add-on may not be available when accessing our site via browsers of mobile devices. In this case, as well as in general, you can therefore alternatively prevent the use and transfer of data to Google by clicking on this link. Please note that this is a so-called opt-out cookie, which is only valid for www.sniperguitar.de and the browser used in each case. If you delete the cookies in your browser history, you must click the link again to object to the use of data when you access our site again. The same applies if you access the page with another browser.

4b. Facebook Ads
We use the advertising tools of the social network of Facebook Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”) for advertising activities on Facebook. When you are logged into your Facebook account, Facebook uses the information you provided during registration, your Likes, and your other user behavior to determine information such as your interests, based on which you are shown custom ads, including those from our company. Likewise, we can use the information categories specified by Facebook to make default settings as to which, for us anonymous, user groups should see our advertisements. Depending on the privacy settings you set, your name may appear in our ads. You can find more information about Name Ads in Facebook Ads here. The same applies to so-called social ads, where your friends are shown that you “like” our page, for example. You can determine whether and how your name is displayed in the privacy settings and in the advertising settings. You can also object to the display of Facebook ads in general via opt-out. In addition, you can set whether and how our ads are displayed to you on Facebook in the future by clicking on “x” or “∨” in your Timeline for ads. Except in the case of permission granted by you, Facebook will not share any personal information about you with us. We can only track via Facebook’s general evaluation tools how many users, subdivided according to general criteria not associated with personal data, have seen our ad, clicked on it or later made a purchase in our online shop/performed an action on our website (conversion tracking through the so-called visitor action pixel). Please note that there is a possibility that Facebook will in turn assign this data to your account profile, over which we have no control.
Data transfer to third countries: Your behavioral data, as well as the data evaluated via the visitor action pixel, are transmitted to the servers of Facebook Inc. in the USA. We have entered into EU standard contractual clauses with Facebook, with which Facebook demonstrates to us compliance with appropriate and adequate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data.

4c. Microsoft Ads
This website uses Microsoft Advertising from Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA (“Microsoft”) and in connection therewith the Universal Event Tracking (UET) tool. On the one hand, we can use this to track, among other things, whether an ad has led to a purchase / a conversion target – so-called completion tracking. On the other hand, remarketing target groups can be created. This allows us to provide you with ads optimized for your interest on Bing maintained and operated sites and Bing partner sites in the future, assuming you can be assigned to an appropriate user group. The cookies used in Universal Event Tracking (UET) have a retention time of up to 180 days on your computer. A detailed description of the cookies used can be found in Microsoft’s extensive privacy policy. You can set or disable your personalized advertising preferences with Microsoft here. You can also object to the use of cookies in your browser settings by activating the “Block third-party cookies” function. However, blocking cookies may lead to limited usability of the visited pages.
In addition, we have implemented the additions Microsoft Target Group Marketing and Microsoft Target Group Ads. This enables us to divide our users into target groups using the Microsoft Audience Network and thus to individualize ads for individual users.
We also use the “Bing Ads Conversion Tracking” application to measure the reach of advertisements. It is determined how successful individual advertising measures of ours are on Bing. In this way, we want to develop and display advertising that is of interest to you and make our offer more attractive.
The legal basis for the collection and processing of your data is, as a result of your express consent, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) DSGVO. The conditions for consent and its withdrawal have their legal basis in Art. 7 DSGVO.

You have the right to information and the right to object to your data stored by us at any time, see below Item 6 on your data subject rights.
4d. Google Adwords
We use AdWords and thereby the Google Conversion Tracking. Google Adwords sets a cookie on your computer (“conversion cookie”) if you come to our website via a Google ad. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and thus no personal data is collected by our side that could indicate the identity of the user. However, your IP address is transmitted to Google LLC, in the USA, so that they can carry out the evaluations for us as described below. We have entered into EU standard contractual clauses with Google, with which Google demonstrates to us that it complies with appropriate and suitable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data.
As long as the cookie is still active, we can recognize via Google Conversion Tracking when a user visits our site that this user had clicked on the Adwords ad and in this way was originally forwarded to our site. Each AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The information obtained with the cookies is used solely to create conversion statistics for us as AdWords customers. This is how we get to know the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were forwarded to a page of ours tagged with a conversion tracking tag.
The legal basis for the use of the conversion tracking cookie is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) DSGVO in the event of corresponding consent.
Withdrawal and deletion:
You can also withdraw your consent at any time by deleting all set (consent) cookies in your browser.
You can prevent the collection of information by generally deactivating the automatic setting of cookies in the browser settings or by setting your browser in such a way that only cookies from the domain “googleadservices.com” are blocked. We cannot exclude the possibility that this may result in restrictions on the usability of our site. SYou also have the option in Google’s Ad Preferences Manager to disable the use of cookies and thus personalized ads.
You have the right to information and the right to object to your data stored by us at any time, see below Number 6 on your rights as a data subject.
