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

1. Access Data and Hosting

You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. Each time a webpage is accessed, the web server automatically stores only 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 analyzed exclusively for the purpose of ensuring the trouble-free operation of the website and improving our offer. In accordance with Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR, this serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our offer, which outweigh our interests in the context of a balancing of interests. All access data will be deleted no later than seven days after the end of your visit to the site.

Hosting

The services for hosting and displaying the website are partly provided by our service providers as part of processing on our behalf. Unless otherwise explained in this privacy policy, all access data as well as all data collected in forms provided for this purpose on this website will be processed on their servers. If you have any questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please use the contact option described in this privacy policy.

2. Data Processing for Contract Execution, Contact Inquiries, and Opening a Customer Account

We collect personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us as part of your order or when contacting us (e.g., via contact form or email). Mandatory fields are marked as such because, in these cases, we strictly require the data for contract execution or to process your contact inquiry, and you cannot send the order or contact inquiry without providing this information. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data provided by you for contract execution and processing your inquiries in accordance with Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. b GDPR.

If you have given your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. a GDPR by choosing to open a customer account, we will use your data for the purpose of opening the customer account. Further information on the processing of your data, in particular on its disclosure to our service providers for the purposes of order, payment, and shipping processing, can be found in the subsequent sections of this privacy policy. After complete execution of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after the expiry of the retention periods under tax and commercial law in accordance with Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. c GDPR, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data in accordance with Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. a GDPR or we reserve the right to a further use of data that is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration. The deletion of your customer account is possible at any time and can be done either by sending a message to the contact option described in this privacy policy or via a function provided for this purpose in the customer account.

3. Data Processing for Shipping Execution

For the performance of the contract in accordance with Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. b GDPR, we pass on your data to the shipping service provider commissioned with the delivery, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of ordered goods.

The same applies to the disclosure of data to our manufacturers or wholesalers in cases where they handle the shipping for us (drop shipping). These are considered shipping service providers within the meaning of this privacy policy.

Our service providers are located in the following countries, for which the European Commission has established an adequate level of data protection by decision: Andorra, Argentina, Guernsey, Isle of Man, Japan, Jersey, Canada, New Zealand.

Data Disclosure to Shipping Service Providers for the Purpose of Shipping Notification

If you have given us your express consent to this during or after your order, we will pass on your email address and telephone number to the selected shipping service provider based on this consent in accordance with Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. a GDPR, so that they can contact you before delivery for the purpose of notifying you of the delivery or coordinating it.

The consent can be revoked at any time by sending a message to the contact option described in this privacy policy or directly to the shipping service provider at the contact address listed below. After revocation, we will delete your data provided for this purpose, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to a further use of data that is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.

4. Data Processing for Payment Execution

We process your data for the purpose of payment execution. This serves the performance of the contract in accordance with Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. b GDPR.

Data Processing for the Purpose of Fraud Prevention and Optimization of Our Payment Processes

If necessary, we provide our service providers with further data, which they use together with the data required for processing the payment as our data processors for the purpose of fraud prevention and optimization of our payment processes (e.g., invoicing, processing of contested payments, accounting support). In accordance with Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR, this serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in protecting ourselves against fraud and in efficient payment management, which outweigh our interests in the context of a balancing of interests.

In addition, we use technologies to fulfill the legal obligations to which we are subject (e.g., to be able to prove consent to the processing of your personal data) as well as for web analysis and online marketing. Further information on this, including the respective legal basis for data processing, can be found in the subsequent sections of this privacy policy.

If your IP address is collected via Google technologies, it will be shortened before being stored on Google's servers by activating IP anonymization. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server and shortened there. Unless otherwise specified for the individual technologies, data processing is carried out on the basis of an agreement concluded between joint controllers for the respective technology in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR. Further information about data processing by Google can be found in Google's privacy policy.
