We appreciate your interest in our online shop. Protecting your privacy is very important to us. Below, we provide detailed information about how we handle 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 automatically stores a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider (access data), and documents the access. These access data are evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offer. This serves to protect our legitimate interests in the proper presentation of our offer in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
All access data will be deleted no later than seven days after the end of your visit.

Hosting

The services for hosting and displaying the website are partly provided by our service providers as part of processing on our behalf. Unless otherwise stated in this privacy policy, all access data and all data collected via forms on this website are processed on their servers. If you have any questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please use the contact option described in this privacy policy.

2. Data processing for contract execution and contacting us

2.1 Data processing for contract execution

For the purpose of fulfilling the contract (including inquiries and handling of any existing warranty and performance issues, as well as legal update obligations), we collect personal data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b GDPR if you voluntarily provide it to us when placing your order. Required fields are marked as such, because in these cases we need the data to process the contract, and without it we cannot send the order. The specific data collected can be seen in the respective input forms.

Further information on the processing of your data, especially regarding the transfer to our service providers for order, payment, and shipping processing, can be found in the following sections of this privacy policy. After the contract has been fully executed, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after the retention periods required by tax and commercial law pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c GDPR, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR or we reserve the right to use your data beyond that, where legally permitted and as explained in this privacy policy.

2.2 Customer account

If you have given your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR by choosing to open a customer account, we will use your data for this purpose and to store your data for future orders on our website. You can delete your customer account at any time by sending a message to the contact option described in this privacy policy or via the designated function in your customer account. After deletion of your customer account, your data will be deleted unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR or we reserve the right to use your data beyond that, as permitted by law and explained in this policy.

2.3 Contacting us

As part of customer communication, we collect personal data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b GDPR when you voluntarily provide it to us by contacting us (e.g. via contact form or email) in order to process your inquiry. Mandatory fields are marked as such because we need the data in these cases to process your request. The specific data collected can be seen in the respective input forms. Once your inquiry has been fully processed, your data will be deleted unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR, or we reserve the right to use your data in ways permitted by law and described in this privacy policy.

3. Data processing for shipping purposes

To fulfill the contract in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b GDPR, we pass on your data to the shipping service provider commissioned with the delivery, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of the ordered goods.

4. Data processing for payment handling

When processing payments in our online shop, we work with the following partners: technical service providers, credit institutions, and payment service providers.

4.1 Data processing for transaction handling

Depending on the selected payment method, we transmit the data necessary for processing the payment transaction to our technical service providers acting on our behalf as data processors, or to the commissioned credit institutions, or to the selected payment service provider, to the extent necessary for processing the payment. This is done for contract fulfillment pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b GDPR. In some cases, the payment service providers collect the data required for processing the payment themselves, for example, via their own website or through a technical integration into the ordering process. In this case, the privacy policy of the respective payment service provider applies.
If you have any questions about our payment processing partners and the basis of our collaboration with them, please contact us using the contact details provided in this privacy policy.

4.2 Data processing for fraud prevention and optimization of our payment processes

Where applicable, we provide our service providers with additional data which they process, together with the data necessary for payment processing, as processors on our behalf for the purposes of fraud prevention and optimization of our payment processes (e.g. invoicing, handling disputed payments, accounting support). This is done in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests, which outweigh other interests in the context of a balancing of interests, in protecting against fraud and ensuring efficient payment management.
