Data protection

Privacy Policy

Thank you for your interest in our website. Protecting your privacy is very important to us. Below you will find detailed information about how your data is handled.

Storage of access data in server log files

You can access our websites without having to provide any personal information. We only store access data in server log files, such as the name of the requested file, date and time of retrieval, transferred data volume and the requesting provider. This data is evaluated exclusively to ensure trouble-free operation of the site and to improve our offer and do not allow us to draw any conclusions about your person.

Data collection and use for contract processing and when opening a customer account

We collect personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us in connection with your order, when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail) or when opening a customer account. You can see from the respective input forms which data is collected. We use the data provided by you to process contracts and your enquiries. After the contract has been completely processed or your customer account has been deleted, your data will be blocked for further use and deleted after expiry of the storage periods under tax and commercial law, unless you have expressly consented to the further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we will inform you below. It is possible to delete your customer account at any time and can be done either via a message to the contact option described below or via a function provided for this purpose in the customer account.

Data transfer for contract fulfilment

For the fulfilment of the contract, we pass on your data to the shipping company commissioned with the delivery, as far as this is necessary for the delivery of ordered goods. Depending on which payment service provider you choose in the order process, we pass on the payment data collected for the processing of payments 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 need to log in to the payment service provider with your access data during the ordering process. The data protection declaration of the respective payment service provider applies in this respect.

Use of data when registering for the email newsletter

If you register for our newsletter, we use the data required for this or separately communicated by you in order to regularly send you our email newsletter in accordance with your consent. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time and either by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a link provided for this purpose in the newsletter.
