Privacy Policy
The protection of your privacy when processing personal data is
important to us. When you visit our website, our web servers save the IP
of your internet service provider, the website from which you visit us, the
web pages you visit on our site and the date and duration of the visit.
This information is absolutely necessary for the technical transmission of
the webpages and secure server operation. A personalized evaluation of
this data does not take place.
If you send us data using the contact form, these data will be stored on
our servers in the course of data backup. Your data will only be used by
us to process your request. Your data will be treated confidentially. A
transfer to third parties does not take place.

Access data and hosting of the website
You can visit our website without providing any personal information. Each time a web page is called up, the web server automatically saves a
so-called server log file, which contains e.g. the name of the requested
file, your IP address, date and time of the call, amount of data transferred
and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the call.
These access data are evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring
trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offer. In accordance
with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter f GDPR (German Data
Protection Law), this serves to protect our legitimate interests in a
correct presentation of our offer, which predominate within the
framework of a weighing of interests. All access data will be deleted no
later than seven days after the end of your visit of the site.
Third Party Hosting Services:
As part of processing on our behalf, a third-party provider provides the
services for hosting and displaying the website. This serves to protect our
overriding legitimate interests in a correct presentation of our offer
within the framework of a balancing of interests. All data that is collected
as part of the use of this website or in the forms provided for this purpose
in the online shop as described below is processed on its servers. Processing on other servers only takes place within the framework explained here.
This service provider is located within a country of the European Union or
the European Economic Area.
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, since
in these cases we need the data to process the contract or to process
your contact or opening of the customer account and you cannot
complete the order and/or open an account or send the contact without
providing them. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective
input forms. We use the data provided by you in accordance with Article 6
Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 lit. b GDPR to process the contract and your
inquiries. After the contract has been completed 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 have expired, unless you have expressly consented to
further use of your data or we reserve the right to use the data beyond
that is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this statement.
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 using a function provided for this purpose in the customer account.
Transfer of data
In order to fulfill the contract in accordance withArticle 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 lit. b GDPR, we pass your data to the shipping company commissioned with the delivery, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of the goods ordered. Depending on which payment service provider you select in the ordering process, we will pass the payment data collected for this purpose 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 provider in order to process payments. Some of the selected payment service providers also collect these data themselves if you create an account there. In this case, you must register with the payment service provider with your access data during the ordering process. In this respect, the data protection declaration of the respective payment service provider applies.
Email newsletters and postal advertising
E-mail advertising with registration for the newsletter:
If you register for our newsletter, we use the data required for this or

any time and can be done either by sending a message to the contact

E-mail advertising without registering for the newsletter and your right to object:
