Thank you for your interest in our online shop. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below, we inform you in detail about how we handle your data.

1. Access Data and Hosting

You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. With each visit to a website, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider (access data), and documents the access. This access data is evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring the trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offer. This serves to protect our legitimate interests, which are overriding in the context of a balancing of interests, in a correct presentation of our offer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

2. Data Processing for Contract Fulfillment and Contacting Us

2.1 Data Processing for Contract Fulfillment

For the purpose of contract fulfillment (including inquiries about and processing of any existing warranty and performance disruption claims as well as any statutory update obligations) in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR, we collect personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us as part of your order. Mandatory fields are marked as such, because in these cases, we absolutely need the data for contract fulfillment and cannot send the order without it. Which data is collected is evident from the respective input forms.

Further information on the processing of your data, in particular on the transfer to our service providers for the purpose of order, payment, and shipping processing, can be found in the following sections of this privacy policy. After complete processing of the contract, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after the expiry of tax and commercial law retention periods in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR or we reserve the right to further data use that is legally permitted and about which we inform you in this statement.

After your customer account is deleted, your data will be deleted unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR or we reserve the right to further data use that is legally permitted and about which we inform you in this statement.

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 selected payment method, we forward the data necessary for processing the payment transaction to our technical service providers, who act as processors for us, or to the commissioned credit institutions or the selected payment service provider, insofar as this is necessary for processing the payment. This serves to fulfill the contract in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR. In some cases, the payment service providers collect the data required for payment processing themselves, e.g., on their own website or through technical integration in the ordering process. In this respect, the privacy policy of the respective payment service provider applies.

This serves to protect our legitimate interests, which are overriding in the context of a balancing of interests, in securing ourselves against fraud and in efficient payment management in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
