We are pleased about your interest in our website. Protecting your privacy is very important to us. Below, we provide detailed information about how we handle your data.
Storage of access data in server log filesYou can visit our website without providing any personal information. We only store access data in so-called server log files, such as the name of the requested file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider. This data is evaluated exclusively to ensure the smooth operation of the website and to improve our services, and does not allow us to draw any conclusions about your person.
Collection and use of data for contract processing and when creating a customer accountWe collect personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us as part of your order, when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or email), or when creating a customer account. The specific data collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide to process contracts and handle your inquiries. After the contract has been fully processed or your customer account has been deleted, your data will be blocked for further use and deleted after the retention periods required 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 scope as permitted by law and as explained below. Deletion of your customer account is possible at any time and can be requested either by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a function provided in the customer account.
Data transfer for contract fulfillmentTo fulfill the contract, we pass on your data to the shipping company commissioned with the delivery, insofar as this is necessary to deliver the ordered goods. Depending on which payment service provider you choose during the ordering process, we pass on the payment data collected for this purpose to the credit institution responsible for 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 with them. In this case, you must log in to the payment service provider during the ordering process using your access data. The privacy policy of the respective payment service provider applies.
Use of data when subscribing to the email newsletterIf you subscribe to our newsletter, we use the data required for this purpose or separately provided by you to regularly send you our email newsletter in accordance with your consent.
