What is personal data?

Personal data is data about your person which makes an identification possible. This includes, for example, your surname, first name, address and email address.
In principle, you do not have to disclose any personal data in order to visit our website. In some cases we may need your name, address and other information to provide you with the requested information or to respond to your enquiry. In these cases, you need to give us your consent. We only store the data that you have transmitted to us automatically or voluntarily.

How is personal data processed?

At some points on our website we offer you the opportunity to contact us or to make use of certain services. We store the personal data transmitted here only for the purpose for which it was provided to us, such as to process your enquiry or to answer any questions you may have.

What data is collected?

If there is an opportunity on our website for the input of personal or business data (email addresses, name, addresses), the input of this data expressly takes place on a voluntary basis. The use of all our services is possible - to the extent technically possible and reasonable - without specification of any personal data or by providing anonymised data or an alias. By entering the optional data correctly, however, you enable us to provide you with personal and individual support.

SSL encryption
To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS.

Is the confidentiality of the email traffic/contact form guaranteed?

If you wish to contact us via your own email account, we must point out that the confidentiality of the information transmitted may not be guaranteed. If the data is collected and processed via our contact form, this data is encrypted before it is transmitted. You are welcome to send us confidential information by post only.

Will data be logged during my visit?

Every time a user accesses a page from our website and every time a file is called up, access data about this process is stored in a log file on our server. The log file contains the following data: IP address, page from which the file was requested, date, time, browser type and browser settings, operating system, the page you visited, amount of data transferred, access status (file transferred, file not found etc.).
This data is not merged with other data sources. In accordance with Art. 6 Section 1 f GDPR, the processing is based on our justified interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website.

Are cookies used?

This website only uses cookies that are technically necessary. These are small text files which are stored on your end device. Your browser accesses these files. The use of cookies increases the user-friendliness and security of this website. We provide cookies with a maximum storage period of 2 days. The legal basis for the use of cookies is Art. 6 Section 1 f GDPR. Only the internet protocol address is stored - no other personal data.
You can also visit our website without accepting cookies. If you do not wish your computer to be recognised on your next visit, you can also reject the use of cookies by changing the settings in your browser to "reject cookies". You will find the procedure in the operating instructions of your specific browser. If you reject the use of cookies in your browser, you may experience limitations in the use of some areas of our websites.

How can we influence the use of personal data?

Of course, you have the sole right to decide whether and for what purposes we may use your data. You alone decide whether we may use your data for the purposes of consulting, sending catalogues, flyers, advertising and market research. Here too, of course, you may revoke any consent you have given at any time in the future.
We adhere to the principles of data avoidance and data economy. We therefore only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes stated here or as provided for in the various storage periods provided for by law. After the respective purpose no longer applies or the expiry of these periods, the corresponding data will be blocked or deleted as a matter of routine and in accordance with statutory regulations.

Customer account registration

As part of the order processing, we collect your personal data for the registration of a customer account. You can choose whether you want to order as a guest or register a permanent user account. The information that is collected during registration via the mandatory fields is identical in both cases and is required for processing the order in the online store. When registering a permanent user account, we also collect a password that you define yourself. Furthermore, you can voluntarily provide additional information that you consider necessary for the processing of the order.
A transfer of your personal data to third parties (eg shipping service providers / shipping) and order processors in accordance with Article 28 DSGVO is only to the extent necessary for the processing of the order.
We process your personal data for the purpose of registering a customer account for the fulfillment of a contract with you pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO. There is a contractual obligation to provide your data as far as it relates to the mandatory fields, as this information is necessary to identify you and for the fulfillment of the contract on our part. There is no legal obligation to provide the data. Without the provision of this information, the order in our online store and thus a contract is not possible. For the additional information provided voluntarily, there is no obligation to provide. The order in our online store is also possible without the disclosure of the voluntary information.
The supplementary processing of your password for the registration of the permanent user account is carried out for the purpose of providing a customer account and for the presentation of your previous purchases as well as for the storage of your purchase-related data (e.g. storage of billing address, various delivery addresses) on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. By deleting your customer account, you can declare your revocation at any time with effect for the future pursuant to Art. 7 para. 3 DSGVO.
If you order as a guest, we store your personal data until the complete processing of your order (end of contract). When registering a permanent customer account, we store the purchase-related data beyond the end of the contract, until the revocation of your consent (deletion of the customer account). In both cases, further storage of your data will only take place if there are legal storage obligations (for example, tax and commercial law). .

Do we pass your data on to third parties?

Personal data is used by us only for internal purposes in the course of the customer relationship. A transfer to third parties does not take place without your necessary consent. Personal data is only collected and transmitted to government institutions and authorities entitled to receive information in accordance with the relevant laws, or if we are obliged to do so by a court order. All employees and service providers are bound to secrecy and compliance with data protection regulations.

What safety precautions have we taken?

We have taken technical and administrative security precautions to protect your personal data against loss, destruction, manipulation and unauthorised access. All employees and service providers are bound to secrecy and compliance with data protection regulations. Whenever we collect and process personal information it is encrypted before it is transmitted. This means that your data cannot be misused by third parties. Our security precautions are subject to a continuous improvement process.

Will this privacy policy also be changed?

Due to changing circumstances, such as an amendment to the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG-Neu), we will if necessary update this privacy policy.

How can I check, correct, revoke or delete my data?

The user has the right to receive information on request free of charge (Art. 15 GDPR) about the stored personal data, furthermore users can have their data corrected (Art. 16 GDPR) or deleted (Art. 17 GDPR). Please contact us at any time if you would like to know what personal data we store about you or if your data should be deleted or corrected.
In addition, users also have the right to restrict processing (Art. 18 GDPR), a right to object to processing (Art. 21 GDPR), a right of revocation (Art. 7 GDPR) and the right to data transferability (Art. 20 GDPR) in accordance with legal provisions. Furthermore, there is a right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority (Art. 57 GDPR). In these cases, please contact us directly.

Legal basis of the processing

Art. 6 I a GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case for example with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or reciprocal service, the processing is based on Art. 6 I b GDPR. The same applies to such processes that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of enquiries about our products or services. In addition processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I f GDPR. Processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases can be implemented on this legal basis if processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party.

Our social media appearances

This privacy policy applies to the following social media presence

Data processing through social networks

We maintain publicly available profiles in social networks. The individual social networks we use can be found below.

Social networks such as Facebook, X etc. can generally analyze your user behavior comprehensively if you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g., like buttons or banner ads). When you visit our social media pages, numerous data protection-relevant processing operations are triggered. In detail:

If you are logged in to your social media account and visit our social media page, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. Under certain circumstances, your personal data may also be recorded if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data is collected, for example, via cookies stored on your device or by recording your IP address.

Using the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which their preferences and interests are stored. This way you can see interest-based advertising inside and outside of your social media presence. If you have an account with the social network, interest-based advertising can be displayed on any device you are logged in to or have logged in to.

Please also note that we cannot retrace all processing operations on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, additional processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. Details can be found in the terms of use and privacy policy of the respective social media portals.

Legal basis

Our social media appearances should ensure the widest possible presence on the Internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on divergent legal bases to be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g., consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).

Responsibility and assertion of rights

If you visit one of our social media sites (e.g., Facebook), we, together with the operator of the social media platform, are responsible for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can in principle protect your rights (information, correction, deletion, limitation of processing, data portability and complaint) vis-à-vis us as well as vis-à-vis the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g., Facebook).

Please note that despite the shared responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options are determined by the company policy of the respective provider.

Storage time

The data collected directly from us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as you ask us to delete it, you revoke your consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular, retention periods - remain unaffected.

We have no control over the storage duration of your data that are stored by the social network operators for their own purposes. For details, please contact the social network operators directly (e.g., in their privacy policy, see below).

Your rights

You have the right to receive information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data at any time and free of charge. You also have the right to object, the right to data portability and the right to file a complaint with the responsible regulatory agency. Furthermore, you can request the correction, blocking, deletion and, under certain circumstances, the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
