Privacy Policy

We are delighted about your interest in our Online Shop. Protection of your privacy is very important to us. In the following, we will inform you in detail on how we handle your data.

1. Access data and hosting

You can visit our websites without being required to provide personal data. Each time a website is accessed, the only thing the web server automatically saves is a server log file, which contains e.g. the name of the requested file, your IP address, data and time of the request , the volume of data transferred and the inquiring provider (access data), and documents the request.

These access data are only analysed for the purpose of ensuring that the website runs without any errors and of improving our offerings. Doing so serves to protect our legitimate interests in correctly presenting our offerings, provided that after considering all other interests, our interests are overriding. The legal basis is Art. 6(1) lit. f) GDPR. All access data shall be deleted automatically no later than seven days after ending your visit to our website.

Hosting services by a third-party provider

Within the scope of processing data on our behalf, a third-party provider shall render the services required for hosting and the presentation of our website in our name.

Doing so serves to protect our legitimate interests in correctly presenting our offerings, provided that after considering all other interests, our interests are overriding. The legal basis is Art. 6(1) lit. f) GDPR. All data collected within the scope of using this website or in forms used in the online shop for this purpose and as described in the following, are processed on its servers.

We collect personal data if you voluntarily provide us with such within the scope of your order, in contacting us (e.g. using our contact form or via e-mail) or if you open a customer account. Mandatory fields are classified as such as we require the data in these cases to perform a contract and/or to process your contact or to open a customer amount, and you are not able to complete your order, open a customer account and/or send your contact request without providing such data. The respective input forms will indicate which data are being collected. We shall use the data you provide us with for the purpose of performing your contract and processing your enquiries. The legal basis shall be Art. 6(1) lit. b) GDPR. After the contract has been fully performed or your customer account has been deleted, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after the end of the storage periods stipulated for tax and trade law purposes, unless you have expressly agreed to a further use of your data or we have reserved the right to use such data beyond the period specified by law and we have informed you thereof in this declaration.

Depending on which payment provider you select in the order process, we shall forward the payment data which have been collected in this context to the bank handling your payment and/or, if applicable, to the payment provider commissioned by us for the purpose of handling your payment or to the selected payment service. In some cases the selected payment providers also collect these data themselves if you open an account with one of these services. In such a case you are required to log into the payment provider website using your access data as part of the ordering process. In this respect, the Privacy Policy of the respective payment provider shall apply.
