Thank you for your interest in our online shop. 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 websites without providing any personal information. Each time a website is accessed, the web server only automatically saves a so-called server logfile, which contains the name of the requested file, your IP address, date and time of access, transferred data volume and the requesting provider (access data), and documents the access.

This access data is evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and improving our services. Pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(1)(f) GDPR, this serves to safeguard our predominantly legitimate interests in a correct presentation of our offer as part of a balancing of interests. All access data will be deleted at the latest seven days after the end of your visit to our site.

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, establishing contact and opening a customer account

We collect personal data when you voluntarily provide us with it in connection with your order or when you contact us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail). Mandatory fields are marked as such, because in these cases we need the data to process the contract or to process your contact and you cannot send the purchase order or establish contact without that information. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data provided by you pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(1)(b) GDPR to process contracts and your inquiries.

If you have given your consent to this in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(1)(a) GDPR by deciding to open a customer account, we will use your data for the purpose of opening a customer account.

After complete winding up of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted at the end of the retention periods defined in tax and commercial law, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use the data for additional purposes which are permitted by law and about which we inform you in this statement. Your customer account can be deleted at any time, and this can be done either by sending a message to the point of contact stated below or by means of a function intended for this purpose in the customer account.

3. Data transfer

In order to fulfill the contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(1)(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 this purpose to the credit institution and payment service provider commissioned by us or to the selected payment service in order to process payments. In some cases, the selected payment service providers also collect this data themselves if you create an account there. In this case, you must register with the payment service provider using your access data during the ordering process. In this respect, the data protection declaration of the respective payment service provider shall apply.

Data transfer to shipping service providers
If you have given us your express consent to this during or after your order, we will forward your e-mail address to the selected shipping service provider on the basis of this pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(1)(a) GDPR so that the latter can contact you before delivery for the purpose of giving notification of or coordinating delivery.

The consent can be revoked at any time by sending a message to the point of contact stated below or directly to the shipping service provider at the contact address listed below. After revocation, we will delete your data unless you have expressly consented to a further use of your data or unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use the data for additional purposes which are permitted by law and about which we inform you in this statement.

If you have given your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(1)(a) GDPR, this website also uses the so-called DoubleClick cookie for advertising purposes as part of the application of Google Analytics (see below), which enables your browser to be recognized when you visit other websites. The information generated automatically by the cookie about your visit to this website will normally be transmitted to and stored by Google on a server in the United States. The IP address is shortened by activating IP anonymization on this website before transmission within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will your full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and anonymized there. The anonymized IP address sent by your browser for Google Analytics will not be combined with any other data held by Google.

Google will use this information to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. When no longer required and when we cease to use Google DoubleClick, the data acquired in this connection will be deleted.

Google Double Click is an offer from Google Ireland Limited, a company incorporated and operated under Irish law with its registered office at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. (www.google.de).
Where information is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers located in the United States, the U.S. company Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield. A current certificate can be seen here. As a result of this agreement between the USA and the European Commission, the latter has established an adequate level of data protection for companies certified under the Privacy Shield.

You may revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating the DoubleClick cookie with this link. You can also find out from the Digital Advertising Alliance  about how to set cookies and make settings for this. You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and decide individually whether to accept them or whether to exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general.

Use of Google (Universal) Analytics for web analytics
If you have given your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(1)(a) GDPR, this website uses Google (Universal) Analytics for the purpose of website analysis. The web analysis service is an offer from Google Ireland Limited, a company incorporated and operated under Irish law with its registered office at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. (www.google.com). Google (Universal) Analytics uses methods that allow an analysis of the use of the website by you, such as cookies. The information acquired automatically about your use of the website will normally be transmitted to and stored by Google on a server in the United States. However, if IP anonymization is enabled on this website, your IP address will be truncated before being sent within member states of the European Union or other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will your full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and anonymized there. The anonymized IP address sent by your browser for Google Analytics will never be combined with any other data held by Google.

This is an extension function of Google Analytics that enables so-called "cross-device tracking". This means that if your Internet-enabled devices are linked to your Google Account, Google can generate reports on usage patterns (especially cross-device traffic) even if you switch devices. Google will use data for this purpose if you have activated the "personalized advertising" setting in your Google account.

We do not process personal data in this respect, we only receive statistics based on Google Signals.

In order to increase the protection of your data when you visit our website, these buttons are not integrated into the page without restrictions as plug-ins, but only using an HTML link.
