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

  1. Access Data and Hosting
    You can visit our website without providing any personal information. Each time a webpage is accessed, the web server automatically stores only a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, date and time of access, transmitted data volume, and the requesting provider (access data), and documents the access. These access data are evaluated solely for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the website and improving our offer. This serves to safeguard our predominantly legitimate interests in a correct presentation of our offer in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. All access data will be deleted seven days after the end of your page visit.

Hosting 

The services for hosting and displaying the website are partly provided by our service provider on our behalf. Except as explained otherwise in this privacy policy, all access data and all data collected through forms provided on this website will be processed on their servers. If you have any questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please contact the contact information provided in this privacy policy.

  1. Data processing for contract processing, contact and when opening a customer account
    We collect personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us during your order or when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or email). Mandatory fields are marked as such because we require this data for contract processing or to process your contact request, and you cannot submit your order or contact request without providing it. The data collected is apparent from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide to process the contract and handle your inquiries in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

If you decide to open a customer account and have given your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, we will use your data for the purpose of opening the customer account. Further information on the processing of your data, particularly on the disclosure to our service provider for the purpose of order, payment and shipping processing, can be found in the following sections of this privacy policy. After the contract has been fully processed or your customer account has been deleted, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after the retention periods under tax and commercial law in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data under Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or we reserve the right to use your data for other purposes that are legally permitted and about which we inform you in this declaration. You can delete your customer account at any time, either by sending a message to the contact option described in this privacy policy or by using a function provided for this purpose in the customer account.

  1. Data processing for the purpose of shipping
    For the purpose of fulfilling the contract in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR, we will forward your data to the shipping service provider commissioned with the delivery, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of the ordered goods.

  2. Data processing for payment processing
    When processing payments in our online shop, we work with the following partners: technical service providers, banks, payment service providers.

4.1 Data processing for transaction processing
Depending on the selected payment method, we will forward the necessary data for processing the payment transaction to our technical service provider, who is acting on our behalf as part of order processing, or to the commissioned banks or the selected payment service provider, insofar as this is necessary for processing the payment. This serves the purpose of fulfilling the contract in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR. In some cases, payment service providers themselves collect the necessary data for processing the payment, for example on their own website or through technical integration in the ordering process. In this regard, the data protection declaration of the respective payment service provider applies.
If you have any questions about our partners for payment processing and the basis of our cooperation with them, please contact us using the contact information provided in this privacy policy.

Section 4.2 states that the company may provide additional data to their service providers for the purpose of fraud prevention and optimizing their payment processes. The service providers are considered processors and use the data provided for these purposes. This processing is justified under Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR as necessary for the legitimate interests of the company in preventing fraud and efficiently managing payments.

Section 5 outlines the company’s practices for email marketing. If a user signs up for the company’s newsletter, the company will use the data provided by the user to send them regular email newsletters, based on their consent under Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. The user can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by contacting the company or by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the newsletter. Upon unsubscribing, the user’s email address will be removed from the company’s recipient list, unless the user has given explicit consent for further data use or the company is permitted to use the data for other purposes under applicable law, as explained in this privacy policy.
