Privacy Policy

Thank you for your interest in our online shop. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below, we provide detailed information on the handling of your data.

1. Access data and hosting

You can visit our website without providing personal details. Each time a website is visited, the web server automatically saves a "server log file", which records the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of the visit, the amount of data transmitted and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the visit.

This access data is evaluated exclusively in order to ensure the site functions properly and to improve our services. This serves to protect our legitimate interests, which predominate in the context of a balancing of interests, in the correct presentation of our website, in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 (f) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). All access data will be deleted no later than seven days after the end of your visit to the site.

Third-party hosting services
As part of the data processing, we have contracted a third-party provider to carry out hosting and website presentation services on our behalf. This serves to protect our legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our offering, which predominate within the context of a balancing of interests. All data collected during your use of this website or via the forms provided for that purpose in the online shop, as described below, are processed on the third-party provider's servers. Processing on other servers only takes place within the framework 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 and when opening a customer account

We collect personal data if you voluntarily disclose it to us within the context of your order, when contacting us (e.g. via the contact form or email), or when opening a customer account.

We use the data provided by you to execute the contract and process your requests, in accordance with Art. 6 para 1 (b) of the GDPR. Following the complete execution of the contract or the deletion of your customer account, your data will be blocked from further use and will then be deleted after the retention periods required under tax and trade law, unless you have expressly consented to the further use of your data or we have reserved the right to further use your data, which is permitted by law and in which regard we will keep you continually informed. The deletion of your customer account is possible at any time and can take place either by means of a message to the contact details given below or by using the function intended for this purpose in your customer account.

3. Data transfer

In order to fulfill the contract, we forward your data to the shipping company commissioned to make the delivery, in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR, provided this is necessary for the delivery of the ordered goods. Depending on which payment service provider you select in the order process, we pass on the payment data collected for the processing of payments to the credit institution commissioned to make 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 ordering process. Here, the privacy policy of the respective payment service provider applies.

Data forwarding to shipping services providers
