We are pleased about your interest in our online shop. Protecting your privacy is very important to us. Below, we provide detailed information about the handling of your data.

You can visit our website without providing any information about yourself. Each time a website is accessed, the web server automatically stores a so-called server log file, which includes 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 to ensure the smooth operation of the site and to improve our offerings. This serves, in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, to safeguard our legitimate interests in a correct presentation of our offerings as part of a balancing of interests. All access data is deleted no later than seven days after your visit.

Hosting services by a third-party provider
In the course of processing on our behalf, a third-party provider provides the services for hosting and displaying the website. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our offering as part of a balancing of interests. All data collected as described below during the use of this website or in provided forms in the online shop is processed on its servers. Processing on other servers only occurs as explained here.

This service provider is located within a country of the European Union or the European Economic Area.

We collect personal data if you voluntarily provide it to us during your order, when contacting us (e.g., via contact form or email), or when opening a customer account. Required fields are marked as such because we need the data in these cases to process the contract or to handle your contact request or customer account opening, and without this data, you cannot complete the order or open an account, nor send the contact request. The data collected can be seen in the respective input forms. We use the data you provide in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR to process contracts and handle your inquiries. Upon complete execution of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after the tax and commercial retention periods expire, unless you have explicitly consented to further use of your data, or we reserve the right to further data use, as permitted by law and about which we inform you in this policy. Deletion of your customer account is possible at any time and can be done by sending a message to the contact option described below or through a designated function in the customer account.

For contract fulfillment in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR, we share your data with the delivery company responsible for shipping, to the extent necessary for delivering ordered goods. Depending on the payment service provider you select during the order process, we may pass on the collected payment data to the credit institution assigned with the payment or, if applicable, payment service providers we commissioned, or the selected payment service provider. In part, 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 order process. The data protection declaration of the respective payment service provider applies.

Data Disclosure to Shipping Service Providers
If you have given your express consent during or after your order, we will share your phone number with the selected shipping service provider for the purpose of delivery notification or coordination of delivery.

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.

Email Advertising with Newsletter Subscription
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we use the data required for this or separately provided by you to send you our email newsletter regularly based on your consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time, either by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a designated link in the newsletter. After unsubscribing, we delete your email address, unless you have explicitly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to further data use, as permitted by law and about which we inform you in this policy.

Postal Advertising and Your Right to Object
Furthermore, we reserve the right to use your first and last name and postal address for our own advertising purposes, e.g., to send you interesting offers and information about our products by mail. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in advertising to our customers as part of a balancing of interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

Credit Check
If we provide services in advance, e.g., for purchases on account, it is necessary to obtain a credit check from specialized service companies (credit agencies) for the purpose of concluding the contract according to Art. 22 para. 2 lit. a GDPR. We transmit the necessary personal data for a credit check to the following company:

Creditreform Boniversum GmbH
Hellersbergstraße 11
41460 Neuss

Appropriate measures are taken to protect your rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests. You have the opportunity to express your point of view and challenge the decision by contacting us through the contact option described below. After complete execution of the contract, your data processed for this purpose will be deleted, unless you have explicitly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to further data use, as permitted by law and about which we inform you in this policy.
