We are pleased that you are interested in our online shop. The protection of your privacy is a matter of great importance for us. In the following, we wish to provide you with detailed information about how we handle your data.
1. ACCESS DATA AND HOSTING
You can visit our web pages without providing any personal information. Every time a web page is accessed, the webserver only automatically saves what is known as a server log file which contains information such as the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of access, the data quantity transferred and the provider making the enquiry (access data), and which documents the access event.
These access data are analysed exclusively for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and for improving our offer. In terms of Art. 6(1) point (f) GDPR and in the context of the weighing of interests, this serves the purpose of safeguarding our overriding legitimate interests in a correct presentation of our offer. All access data are erased at the latest by fourteen days after the end or your visit to our website.

All data collected in the context of using this website or in online shop forms provided for this purpose such as those described below are processed on their servers. Processing on other servers takes place only in the framework explained here.

2. DATA ACQUISITION AND USAGE FOR CONTRACT HANDLING AND FOR OPENING A CUSTOMER ACCOUNT
We gather personal data when you disclose these to us of your own free will in the context of your order, when you initiate contact with us (e.g. by email or using the contact form) or when you open a customer account. Required fields are marked as such because in these cases, these data are essential for contract handling or for processing your contact with us or are necessary for opening the customer account and without providing them, you would be unable to complete your order and/or the opening of the account or would be unable to send your contact request. The data collected is evident on the respective input forms. We use the data you provide in accordance with Art. 6(1) point (b) GDPR for contract handling and processing your enquiries. After processing of your contract is completed or your customer account is deleted, the further processing of your data is restricted and they are erased after expiration of the tax and commercial law retention periods unless you have expressly consented to the continued use of your data or we have reserved the right to use these data in a manner which goes beyond the aforementioned and which is statutorily permitted and concerning which we inform you in the following. Deletion of your customer account is possible at any time and can be accomplished either by sending a message to the contact described below or by using a function provided for this purpose in the customer account.
3. DATA TRANSFER
For the purpose of contract fulfilment in accordance with Art. 6(1) point (b) GDPR, we pass your data to the shipping company engaged to make the delivery to the extent required for the delivery of the ordered goods. Depending on the payment service provider you have chosen in the ordering process, we pass the payment information collected for the purpose of payment processing to the credit institution engaged to make the payment and, if necessary, to payment service providers we have engaged or to the selected payment service. In some cases, the selected payment service provider also collects this data themselves if you create an account there. In this case, you must log in with the payment service provider using your access information in the context of the order process. In this context, the data privacy statement of the respective payment service provider applies.
