Data protection

Thank you for your interest in our online shop. The protection and security of your personal data are very important to us. Below, we inform you in detail about how we handle your data.

1. Access data and hosting
You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. Each time a website is accessed, the web server merely 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 evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring the trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offer. This serves, according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, to protect our predominant legitimate interests in a correct presentation of our offer within the framework of a balancing of interests. All access data will be deleted no later than seven days after the end of your page visit. 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. This serves to protect our predominant legitimate interests in a correct presentation of our offer within the framework of a balancing of interests. All data collected in connection with the use of this website or in forms provided for this purpose in the online shop, as described below, are processed on its servers. Processing on other servers only takes place within the scope explained 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 We collect personal data if you provide it to us as part of your order or when contacting us (e.g., via contact form or email). Mandatory fields are marked as such, as in these cases we absolutely need the data for contract processing or for processing your contact request, and you cannot complete the order or send the contact request without providing them. 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 inquiries. After complete processing of the contract, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after the expiry of any tax and commercial law retention periods, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to further data use that is legally permitted and about which we inform you in this declaration.

3. Data transfer
For contract fulfillment 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 order process, we pass on the payment data collected for this purpose to the credit institution commissioned with the payment and, if applicable, to payment service providers 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 there. In this case, you must log in to the payment service provider with your access data during the order process. The privacy policy of the respective payment provider applies in this respect.
