Privacy policy

Privacy policy

Thank you for your interest in our website. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. In the following we inform you in detail about the handling of your data.

Storage of access data in server log files

You can visit our websites without giving any personal information. We only store access data in so-called server log files, such as the name of the requested file, date and time of the request, transferred data volume and the requesting provider. These data are evaluated exclusively to ensure the trouble-free operation of the site and to improve our offer and do not allow us to draw any conclusions about your person.

Data collection and use for contract processing

We collect personal data when you voluntarily provide us with this information as part of your order or when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail). Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide us with for the purpose of contract processing and handling your enquiries. After complete processing of the contract, your data will be blocked for further use and deleted after expiry of the tax and commercial law retention periods, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use your data for other purposes which are permitted by law and about which we inform you below.

Data transfer for the purpose of contract fulfilment

In order to fulfil the contract, we will 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 order process, we will pass on the payment data collected for this purpose to the bank commissioned with the payment and, if applicable, to the payment service provider commissioned by us or to the selected payment service for the processing of payments. In some cases, the selected payment service providers also collect this data themselves if you open an account there. In this case, you must log on 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.

Use of data when registering for the e-mail newsletter

If you register for our newsletter, we will use the data required for this purpose or data provided separately by you to send you our e-mail newsletter regularly in accordance with your consent. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time, either by sending a message to the contact option described below or by using a link provided for this purpose in the newsletter.

Use of data for postal advertising and your right of objection

In addition, we reserve the right to store your first and last name, your postal address and - insofar as we have received this additional information from you within the scope of the contractual relationship - your title, academic degree, year of birth and your professional, industry or business designation in combined lists and to use them for our own advertising purposes, e.g. to send you interesting offers and information on our products by post. You can object to the storage and use of your data for these purposes at any time by sending a message to the contact option described below.

This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to an Instagram server in the USA and stored there. If you are logged in to Instagram, Instagram can directly associate your visit to our website with your Instagram account. When you interact with the plug-ins, for example by pressing the "Instagram" button, this information is also sent directly to an Instagram server and stored there. The information is also published to your Instagram account and displayed to your contacts.

For the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by Instagram, as well as your rights and settings options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Instagram's privacy policy at https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388/.
