Data protection declaration

Thank you very much for your interest in our online shop. Protecting your privacy is very important to us. The following document provides you with comprehensive information on how we handle your data.

1. Access details and hosting

You can visit our websites without providing personal information. Each time you access a website, the web server automatically stores a so-called server log file
which includes, for instance, the names of the requested files, your IP address, the date and time of access, the quantity of data transmitted and the requesting provider (access details), and documents the access attempt.

These access details are only monitored in order to ensure the website operates without disruption and to improve our services. In accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 clause 1 lit. f GDPR, the purpose of this evaluation is to safeguard our legitimate interest in displaying our website correctly, which outweighs your own interests in this case. All access details are deleted before seven days have elapsed from the end of your page visit.

Hosting services from a third-party provider
As part of data processing carried out on our behalf, a third-party provider provides us with services related to hosting and displaying the website. The purpose of these services is to safeguard our legitimate interest in displaying our website correctly, which outweighs your own interests in this case. All data collected as described in the following in the course of your use of this website or in provided forms in the online shop is processed on this provider's servers. Data is only processed on other servers to the extent explained here.
This service provider is located within a country in the European Union or European Economic Area.

2. Data collection and use for the purpose of carrying out the contract and opening a customer account

We collect personal data if you provide it to us voluntarily during your order, when you contact us (for instance via the contact form or via e-mail), or when you open a customer account. Mandatory fields are designated as such, since we require the data in these cases to carry out the contract or process your contact, or to open your customer account. If you do not provide the information in these fields, you cannot complete the order or open the account, or cannot send the contact inquiry. These input forms indicate the data we collect. We use data you provide in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 clause 1 lit. b GDPR to carry out the contract and process your inquiry. After the contract has been carried out in full or after your customer account has been deleted, your data will be restricted from further processing, and will be deleted after the end of the retention period under tax and commercial law, unless you have expressly consented to the further use of your data, or unless we reserve further use of the data beyond what is permitted by law. We will inform you of such reservations in this declaration. You can delete your customer account at any time by notifying the contact person indicated in the Legal Notice.

3. Data transmission

We will transmit your data to the shipping company commissioned with carrying out the delivery in order to fulfil the contract in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 clause 1 lit. b GDPR, if this is necessary to deliver ordered goods. Depending on the payment provider you select during the ordering process, we will submit the payment data collected to process the payments to the credit institution commissioned with the payment, as well as to any payment providers commissioned by us or to the selected payment service. In some cases, the selected payment provider will also collect this data itself if you create an account with them. In this case, you must log in to the payment provider with your access details during the ordering process. The data protection declaration of the respective payment provider applies in this case.
Data transmission to shipping providers
If you have granted your express consent to us during or after you place your order, we will transmit your e-mail address and telephone number to your selected shipping provider based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 2 clause 1 lit. a GDPR, so that the shipping provider can contact you in advance for the purpose of notifying you of the delivery or coordinating delivery with you.

You may revoke your consent at any time by sending a message to the contact person below, or by contacting the shipping provider directly at the following contact address. After your revocation, we will delete the data you have provided for this purpose, unless you have expressly consented to the further use of your data, or if we reserve further use of the data as allowed by law and indicated in this declaration.

5. Advertisement via marketing networks
Google AdWords Remarketing
We use Google Adwords to advertise for this website in Google search results and on third party websites. Google saves a Remarketing Cookie when you visit our website, which automatically facilitates advertisements based on your interests using a pseudonymous CookieID, and based on the pages you visit. The purpose of this cookie is to safeguard our legitimate interest in marketing our website optimally in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 clause 1 lit. f GDPR, which outweighs your own interests in this case. Data collected in this context will be deleted after the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies, and after we cease our use of Google AdWords Remarketing.

Data will only continue to be used if you have agreed with Google that your browser activities via the web or an app can be linked to your Google account, and that information from your Google account can be used to personalise what you see online. In this case, if you are logged in to Google when you visit our website, then Google will use your data alongside Google Analytics data to create and define target audience lists for cross-device remarketing.
Google will temporarily link your personal data to Google Analytics data for this purpose, to form target audiences.

Google AdWords Remarketing is a service of Google LLC (www.google.de). Google LLC is headquartered in the USA and certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield. A current certificate is available here.
