Cookie information is stored in your browser and performs functions such as recognising you when you return to our website and helping our team to understand which sections of the website you find most interesting and useful.
Privacy policy
We appreciate your interest in our website. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below, we provide detailed information on how we handle your data.
1. Access Data and Hosting
You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. Each time a webpage is accessed, the web server automatically stores a so-called server log file, which includes, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, date and time of access, transferred data volume, and the requesting provider (access data), documenting the access. These access data are evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring a smooth operation of the site and improving our offering. This is done in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in a correct presentation of our offering within the scope of a balancing of interests. All access data is deleted no later than seven days after the end of your website visit.
Hosting Services by a Third Party
As part of processing on our behalf, a third-party provider performs hosting and website display services for us. This is to safeguard our predominant legitimate interests in a correct presentation of our offering within the scope of a balancing of interests. All data collected during the use of this website or in designated forms on the online shop, as described below, is processed on their servers. Processing on other servers only occurs within the explained framework.
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
We collect personal data when you provide it to us in the context of your order or when contacting us (e.g., via contact form or email). Mandatory fields are marked as such because, in these cases, the data is necessary for contract processing or to handle your inquiry, and you cannot complete the order or send the inquiry without providing this information. The data collected is evident from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR for contract processing and handling your inquiries. After complete contract processing, your data is restricted for further processing and deleted after the expiration of any statutory retention periods for tax and commercial purposes, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data, or we reserve the right to use data beyond the statutory limits, as legally allowed, and as disclosed to you in this statement.
3. Data Transfer
For contract fulfillment according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR, we disclose your data to the shipping company responsible for delivery, as far as necessary for the delivery of ordered goods. Depending on the payment service provider you choose during the order process, we pass on the payment data collected for this purpose to the credit institution responsible for the payment and, if necessary, to payment service providers commissioned by us or to the selected payment service. In part, the selected payment service providers also collect this data themselves, if you create an account there. In this case, you must log in to the payment service provider with your access data during the order process. In this respect, the data protection policy of the respective payment service provider applies.

Use of Google (Universal) Analytics for web analysis

This is done to safeguard our predominant legitimate interests in an optimized presentation of our offering within the scope of a balancing of interests according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Google (Universal) Analytics uses methods that allow an analysis of your use of the website, such as cookies.
