Data privacy
Thank you for your interest in our website. Protecting your privacy is very important to us. In the following section, you will find comprehensive information on how we use your data.
Storage of Access Data in Server Log Files
You can visit our website without providing any personal information. We only store access data in so-called server log files. This includes the name of the requested file, the time and date of retrieval, the amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider. This data is evaluated solely to ensure the smooth operation of the website and to improve it. It does not allow us to draw any conclusions about your person.
Collection and Use of Data for Order Processing and When Opening a Customer Account
We collect personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us when placing an order, contacting us (e.g., via the contact form or email), or opening a customer account. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide for the purpose of fulfilling your orders and processing your inquiries. After your order has been fulfilled or your customer account has been deleted, your data will be blocked for further use and deleted after the expiration of tax and commercial retention periods, unless you have expressly consented to the further use of your data for other purposes or we are legally permitted to use your data in a way described below. You can delete your customer account at any time, either by sending a message via the contact options specified below or by using a designated function in your customer account.
Transfer of Data for Order Processing
For the purpose of fulfilling the order, we pass on your data to the shipping company commissioned with the delivery, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of the goods. To process payments, we pass on your payment data to the credit institutions commissioned with the payment processing and, if necessary, to other payment service providers commissioned by us or to the payment service provider you selected during the order process.
