DATA PROTECTION

We are pleased about your interest in our online shop. Protecting your privacy is very important to us. Below, we provide detailed information about how we handle your data.

1. Access Data and Hosting

You can visit our websites without providing personal information. Each time a webpage is accessed, the web server automatically stores a so-called server log file, which may include the name of the requested file, your IP address, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider (access data), documenting the access.

These access data are evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring the smooth operation of the website and improving our services. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our offer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. All access data are deleted no later than seven days after the end of your visit to the website.

Hosting Services by a Third-Party Provider

As part of processing on our behalf, a third-party provider supplies hosting and website display services for us. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our offer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. All data collected within the framework of using this website or in forms provided in the online shop as described below are processed on its servers. Processing on other servers only takes place within the scope explained here.

This service provider is located in a country outside the European Union for which the European Commission has determined an adequate level of data protection by decision.

2. Data Collection and Use for Contract Processing and Customer Account Opening

We collect personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us as part of your order, when contacting us (e.g., via contact form or email), or when opening a customer account. Mandatory fields are marked as such because we absolutely require this data to process the contract, handle your contact request, or open the customer account, and without this information you cannot complete the order and/or account registration or send the contact request. The data collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR for contract processing and handling your inquiries. After full completion of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after the expiration of tax and commercial law retention periods, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to further data use permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration. Deletion of your customer account is possible at any time and can be done either by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a designated function in the customer account.

3. Data Sharing

For contract fulfillment pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR, we pass your data to the shipping company commissioned with delivery, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of ordered goods. Depending on the payment service provider selected during the ordering process, we pass on the payment data collected for this purpose to the credit institution commissioned with the payment and, where applicable, to payment service providers commissioned by us or selected by you. In some cases, the selected payment service providers also collect these data themselves if 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. The privacy policy of the respective payment service provider applies in this regard.

4. Email Newsletter

Email Advertising with Newsletter Registration

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we use the data required for this purpose or separately provided by you to regularly send you our email newsletter based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time either by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a link provided for this purpose in the newsletter. After unsubscribing, we delete your email address unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to further data use permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.

5. Cookies and Web Analytics

To make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, display suitable products, or conduct market research, we use so-called cookies on various pages. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in an optimized presentation of our offer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Cookies are small text files automatically stored on your device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted after the end of the browser session, i.e., after closing your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your device and allow us to recognize your browser during your next visit (persistent cookies). You can find the storage duration in the overview of the cookie settings of your web browser. You can configure your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and can decide individually on their acceptance or exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general. Every browser differs in the way it manages cookie settings. This is described in the help menu of each browser, which explains how you can change your cookie settings. You can find these for the respective browsers at the following links:

If cookies are not accepted, the functionality of our website may be limited.

Use of Google (Universal) Analytics for Web Analysis

Provided you have given your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR, this website uses Google (Universal) Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (www.google.de), for website analysis purposes. Google (Universal) Analytics uses methods such as cookies that enable analysis of your use of the website. The automatically collected information about your use of this website is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. By activating IP anonymization on this website, the IP address is shortened within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The anonymized IP address transmitted by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics is generally not merged with other Google data. Once the purpose no longer applies and the use of Google Analytics by us ends, the data collected in this context will be deleted.

Google LLC is headquartered in the USA and certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield. A current certificate can be viewed here. Based on this agreement between the USA and the European Commission, the latter has determined an adequate level of data protection for companies certified under the Privacy Shield.

You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link:
http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

This prevents the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) as well as the processing of this data by Google.

Alternatively to the browser plugin, you can click this link to prevent future collection by Google Analytics on this website. An opt-out cookie will be stored on your device. If you delete your cookies, you will be asked again to give your consent.

6. Social Media Plugins

Use of Social Plugins from Facebook and Instagram Using the Shariff Solution

Social buttons from social networks are used on our website.

This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in optimal marketing of our offer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. To increase the protection of your data when visiting our website, these buttons are not fully integrated as plugins, but only embedded into the page using an HTML link. This integration ensures that when accessing a page on our website containing such buttons, no connection is yet established with the servers of the respective social network provider.

If you click one of the buttons, a new browser window opens and accesses the page of the respective service provider, where you can (possibly after entering your login data) activate the Like or Share button, for example.

For the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by the providers on their pages, as well as a contact option and your rights and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to the providers’ privacy notices:
