Privacy policy
Thank you for your interest in our website. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below we inform you in detail about how we handle 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, such as the name of the requested file, the date and time of the request, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider. This data is evaluated exclusively to ensure trouble-free operation of the site and to improve our services and does not allow us to draw any conclusions about your person.

Data collection and use for contract processing and when opening a customer account
We collect personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us in the context of your order, when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail) or when 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 processing the contract and dealing with your enquiries. After complete processing of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be blocked for further use and deleted after expiry of the retention periods under tax and commercial law, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you below. 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 above or via a function provided for this purpose in the customer account.

Data transfer for contract fulfilment
In order to fulfil the contract, we 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 ordering process, we pass on the payment data collected for this purpose to the credit institution commissioned with the payment and, if applicable, to payment service providers commissioned by us or to the selected payment service. In some cases, the selected payment service providers also collect this data themselves if you create an account with them. In this case, you must register with 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 separately provided by you to regularly send you our e-mail newsletter in accordance with your consent. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a link provided for this purpose in the newsletter.

Credit assessment and scoring when selecting PayPal purchase on account
If you choose the payment method "purchase on account" of the PayPal service, you will be asked during the ordering process to consent to the transmission of the data required for the processing of the payment and an identity and credit check to PayPal. If you give your consent, this data will be transmitted to PayPal. For the purpose of its own identity and credit checks, PayPal or partner companies commissioned by PayPal transmit data to credit agencies and receive information from them as well as, if applicable, creditworthiness information based on mathematical-statistical procedures, the calculation of which includes, among other things, address data. Detailed information on this and on the credit agencies used can be found in PayPal's data protection information, available at:
You can revoke your consent to PayPal at any time. However, PayPal may still be entitled to process, use and transfer your personal data if this is necessary for the contractual processing of payments or if it is legally required or ordered by a court or an authority.
