Thank you for your interest in our online shop. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below you will find detailed information on how we handle your data.

Access data and hosting

You can visit our website without providing any personal data. Each time a website is accessed, the web server only automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the access.

This access data is analysed exclusively for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offer. In accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, this serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our website, which are overriding in the context of a balancing of interests. All access data will be deleted no later than seven days after the end of your visit to the site.

Hosting services by a third-party provider

As part of processing on our behalf (Art. 28 GDPR), a third-party provider provides us with services for hosting your personal data, including our online shop and for displaying the website.

This third-party provider is based in a country of the European Union or the European Economic Area. We have concluded so-called standard contractual clauses with the third-party provider to ensure an adequate level of data protection. You can request a copy of these standard contractual clauses (with the redaction of trade and business secrets requiring confidentiality) from the contact details given above or from our data protection officer.

The commissioning of the third-party provider serves to safeguard our overriding legitimate interests in the correct presentation and efficient hosting of our offer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

All data collected as part of the use of this website or in the forms provided for this purpose in the online shop as described below are processed on the servers of a third-party provider based within the EU. The data itself is stored on servers in Germany. Processing on other servers does not take place unless expressly stated otherwise elsewhere in this data protection information.

Data collection and use for contract processing and creation of a customer account

We collect personal data if you voluntarily provide it to us as part of your order or when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or email). Mandatory fields are labelled as such, as in these cases we require the data to process the contract or to process your contact and you cannot send the order or make contact without providing it. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data provided by you in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR for contract processing and processing your enquiries.

If you have given your consent to this in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR by deciding to open a customer account, we will use your data for the purpose of opening a customer account. Your personal data is processed as part of the customer account for the following purposes: With the customer account, you can, among other things, manage various shipping addresses, track the shipment of your order, retrieve your order history, create reviews for products, create wish lists and receive exclusive offers.

After completion of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after expiry of the retention periods under tax and commercial law (usually 10 years), unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration. 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 via a function provided for this purpose in the customer account.

Forwarding of data

In order to fulfil the contract in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. 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 the processing of payments 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. In some cases, 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 ordering process. In this respect, the privacy policy of the respective payment service provider applies.

The same applies to the transfer of data to our manufacturers or wholesalers in cases where they handle the dispatch for us (drop shipping).

Data transfer to shipping service providers

If you have given us your express consent to this during or after your order, we will pass on your e-mail address and telephone number to the selected shipping service provider in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR so that they can contact you before delivery for the purpose of delivery notification or coordination.

You can revoke your consent at any time by sending a message to the contact option described below. After revocation, we will delete the data you have provided for this purpose, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.

E-mail advertising with registration for the newsletter

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we will use the data required for this or separately provided by you to regularly send you our e-mail newsletter based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

Unsubscribing from the newsletter is possible at any time and can be done either by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a link provided for this purpose in the newsletter. After unsubscribing, we will delete your e-mail address unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.

The newsletter is sent as part of processing on our behalf by a service provider to whom we pass on your email address for this purpose.
