privacy policy
We are pleased that you are interested in our website. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below we provide you with detailed information about how we handle your data.
Storage of access data in server log files
You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. We only save access data in so-called server log files, such as the name of the requested file, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider. This data is evaluated solely to ensure trouble-free operation of the site and to improve our offering and does not allow us to draw any conclusions about you personally.
Data collection and use for contract processing
We collect personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us as part of your order or when you contact us (e.g. via contact form or email). The data collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide to process the contract and handle your inquiries. After the contract has been fully processed, your data will be blocked for further use and deleted after the tax and commercial retention periods have expired, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use the data in any other way that is permitted by law and about which we will inform you below.
data transfer for contract fulfillment
In order to fulfil the contract, we pass on your data to the shipping company commissioned with the delivery, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of the ordered goods. Depending on which payment service provider you select in the ordering process, we pass on 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 in order to process payments. 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 data protection declaration of the respective payment service provider applies.
Data usage when registering for the email newsletter
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we will use the data required for this purpose or separately provided by you to regularly send you our email newsletter in accordance with your consent. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time and can do so either by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a link provided for this purpose in the newsletter.
Use of data for e-mail advertising without newsletter registration and your right of objection
If we receive your email address in connection with the sale of a product or service and you have not objected to this, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for similar products from our range, such as those you have already purchased, by email. You can object to this use of your email address at any time by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a link provided for this purpose in the advertising email, without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates.
Use of data for postal advertising and your right of objection
In addition, we reserve the right to store your first and last name, your postal address and - if we have received this additional information from you as part of the contractual relationship - your title, academic degree, year of birth and your professional, industry or business name in summarized lists and to use them for our own advertising purposes, e.g. to send you interesting offers and information about our products by post. You can object to the storage and use of your data for these purposes at any time by sending a message to the contact option described below.
