We are pleased about your interest in our online shop. Protecting your privacy is very important to us. Below we will inform you in detail about how your data is handled.

1. Access data and hosting

You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. Every time a website is accessed, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, date and time of retrieval, amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the retrieval. This access data is evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offering. This serves to protect our legitimate interests, which predominate in the context of a balancing of interests, in a correct presentation of our offer in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter f of the GDPR. All access data will be deleted no later than seven days after the end of your visit to the site.

1.1 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 explained in this data protection declaration, all access data and all data collected in the forms provided on this website are processed on its servers. If you have any questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please contact us using the contact option described in this data protection declaration. Our service providers are based in the USA. There is no adequacy decision from the European Commission for the USA. Our cooperation with you is based on standard data protection clauses from the European Commission.

1.2 Content Delivery Network

In order to shorten loading times, we use a so-called Content Delivery Network (“CDN”) for some offers. With this service, content, such as large media files, is delivered via regionally distributed servers of external CDN service providers. Access data is therefore processed on the servers of the service providers. Our service providers work for us as part of order processing. If you have any questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with you, please contact us using the contact option described in this data protection declaration. Our service providers are based in the USA. There is no adequacy decision from the European Commission for the USA. Our cooperation with you is based on standard data protection clauses from the European Commission.

2. Data processing for contract processing and contact

We collect personal data if you voluntarily provide it to us as part of your order or when you contact us (e.g. via contact form or email). Mandatory fields are marked as such because in these cases we absolutely need the data to process the contract or to process your contact and you will not be able to complete the order or send the contact without providing it. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms.
We use the data you provide to process the contract and process your inquiries in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter b GDPR. Further information on the processing of your data, in particular on the transfer to our service providers for the purposes of order, payment and shipping processing, can be found in the following sections of this data protection declaration. After the contract has been fully processed, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after any retention periods under tax and commercial law have expired in accordance with Art 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter a GDPR or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.

3. Data processing for the purpose of shipping processing

In order to fulfill the contract in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter b GDPR, we pass on your data to the shipping service provider commissioned with the delivery, to the extent that this is necessary for the delivery of ordered goods.

4. Data processing for payment processing

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

4.1 Data processing for transaction processing

Depending on the payment method selected, we pass on the data necessary to process the payment transaction to our technical service providers who work for us as part of order processing, or to the commissioned credit institutions or to the selected payment service provider, to the extent that this is necessary to process the payment. This serves to fulfill the contract in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter b GDPR. In some cases, the payment service providers collect the data required to process the payment themselves, for example on their own website or via a technical integration in the ordering process. The data protection declaration of the respective payment service provider applies.
If you have any questions about our payment processing partners and the basis of our cooperation with them, please contact us using the contact option described in this data protection declaration.

4.2 Data processing for the purpose of preventing fraud and optimizing our payment processes

If necessary, we give our service providers further data, which they use together with the data necessary to process the payment as our processors for the purposes of fraud prevention and optimizing our payment processes (e.g. invoicing, processing disputed payments, accounting support). In accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter f of the GDPR, this serves to protect our legitimate interests, which predominate in the context of a balancing of interests, in our protection against fraud and in efficient payment management.
