Access data and hosting

You can visit our websites without giving any personal information. Each time a website is accessed, the web server only automatically stores a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of the retrieval, the 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 the improvement of our offer. In accordance with Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f GDPR, this serves to safeguard our overriding legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our offer in the context of a balancing of interests. All access data will be deleted no later than seven days after the end of your page visit.

Data collection and use for contract processing, 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 e-mail). Mandatory fields are marked as such, as in these cases we absolutely need the data for the execution of the contract or for the processing of your contact and you cannot send the order or the contact without their indication. The data collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data provided by you in accordance with Art. 6 sec. 1 p. 1 lit. b GDPR for the processing of the contract and the processing of your enquiries.

Data transfer

In order to fulfil the contract in accordance with Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. b GDPR, we may pass on your data to the shipping company commissioned with the delivery, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of 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 necessary, to the payment service provider commissioned by us, or to the selected payment service. In some cases, the selected payment service providers also collect this data themselves, insofar as you create an account there. 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.

We also use an external merchandise management system for order and contract processing. The data transfer or processing that takes place in this respect is based on order processing.

Data transfer to shipping service providers

If you have given us your express consent to this during or after your order, we will pass on your e-mail address and telephone number to the selected shipping service provider in accordance with Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. a GDPR, so that the latter can contact you before delivery for the purpose of announcing or coordinating the delivery. Consent can be revoked at any time by sending a message to the contact option described below or directly to the shipping service provider at the contact address listed below.
