Thank you for your interest in our online shop. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below we inform you in detail about the handling of your data.

1. access data and hosting

You can visit our website without providing any personal data. Each time a website is accessed, the web server only automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the access.

This access data is analysed exclusively for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offer. In accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, this serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our website, which are overriding in the context of a balancing of interests. All access data will be deleted no later than seven days after the end of your visit to the site.

Hosting services by a third-party provider

As part of processing on our behalf, a third-party provider provides us with the services for hosting and displaying the website. All data that is collected as part of the use of this website or in the forms provided for this purpose in the online shop as described below is processed on its servers. Processing on other servers only takes place within the scope described here.

This service provider is located within a country of the European Union or the European Economic Area.

2. data collection and use for contract processing, contacting and opening a customer account

We collect personal data if you voluntarily provide it to us as part of your order or when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail). Mandatory fields are labelled as such, as in these cases we require the data to process the contract or to process your contact and you cannot send the order or contact without providing it. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data provided by you in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR for contract processing and processing your enquiries.

If you have given your consent to this in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR by deciding to open a customer account, we will use your data for the purpose of opening a customer account.
After the contract has been fully processed or your customer account has been deleted, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after expiry of the retention periods under tax and commercial law, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration. Deletion of your customer account is possible at any time and can be done either by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a function provided for this purpose in the customer account.

3. data transfer

In order to fulfil the contract in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR, we pass on your data to the shipping company commissioned with the delivery, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of ordered goods. Depending on which payment service provider you select in the ordering process, we will pass on the payment data collected for the processing of payments to the credit institution commissioned with the payment and, if applicable, to the payment service provider commissioned by us or to the selected payment service. In some cases, the selected payment service providers also collect this data themselves if you create an account with them. In this case, you must log in to the payment service provider with your access data during the ordering process. In this respect, the privacy policy of the respective payment service provider applies.

Data transfer to debt collection companies
In order to fulfil the contract in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR, we pass on your data to a commissioned debt collection company if our payment claim has not been settled despite a previous reminder. In this case, the debt will be collected directly by the debt collection company. In addition, the disclosure serves to safeguard our legitimate interests, which predominate in the context of a balancing of interests, in the effective assertion or enforcement of our payment claim in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

4. e-mail newsletter and postal advertising

E-mail advertising with registration for the newsletter
If you register for our newsletter, we will use the data required for this or separately provided by you to regularly send you our e-mail newsletter on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time, either by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a link provided for this purpose in the newsletter. After unsubscribing, we will delete your email address from the recipient list, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.

Email advertising without subscribing to the newsletter and your right to object
If we receive your email address in connection with the sale of a product or service and you have not objected to this, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for similar products to those you have already purchased from our collection by email on the basis of Section 7 (3) UWG. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests, which predominate in the context of a balancing of interests, in a promotional approach to our customers.
