Privacy policy
Thank you for your interest in our online store. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below we inform you in detail about the handling of your data.


1. Access data and hosting
You can visit our website without providing any personal data. Each time a website is accessed, the web server only automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the access.


This access data is analyzed exclusively for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offer. In accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, this serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our offer, which predominate in the context of a balancing of interests. All access data will be deleted no later than seven days after the end of your visit to the site.


Hosting services by a third-party provider
As part of processing on our behalf, a third-party provider provides us with the services for hosting and displaying the website. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our website, which outweigh our interests. All data collected as part of the use of this website or in the forms provided for this purpose in the online store as described below are processed on its servers. Processing on other servers only takes place within the scope 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 provide it to us as part of your order, when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail) or when opening a customer account. Mandatory fields are marked as such, as in these cases we need the data to process the contract or to process your contact or open the customer account and you cannot complete the order and/or open the account or send the contact without providing it. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data provided by you in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR for contract processing and processing your inquiries. After complete processing of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after expiry of the retention periods 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, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration. The deletion of your customer account is possible at any time and can be done either by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a function provided for this purpose in the customer account.


3. Data transfer
In order to fulfill the contract in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR, we pass on your data to the shipping company commissioned with the delivery, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of ordered goods. Depending on which payment service provider you select in the ordering process, we will pass on the payment data collected for the processing of payments to the credit institution commissioned with the payment and, if applicable, to the payment service provider 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 with your access data during the ordering process. In this respect, the privacy policy of the respective payment service provider applies.


Data transfer to shipping service providers
If you have given us your express consent to this during or after your order, we will pass on your e-mail address and telephone number to the selected shipping service provider in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR so that they can contact you before delivery for the purpose of delivery notification or coordination.


Consent can be revoked at any time by sending a message to the contact option described below or directly to the shipping service provider at the contact address listed below. After revocation, we will delete your data provided for this purpose, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.
