Privacy Policy

Unless otherwise stated below, the provision of your personal data is neither legally nor contractually required, nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the data. Failure to provide it has no consequences. This only applies insofar as no other information is given in the subsequent processing operations.

“Personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

You can visit our websites without providing any personal information.

Each time you access our website, usage data is transmitted to us or our web hosting provider / IT service provider by your internet browser and stored in log data files (so-called server log files). The stored data includes, for example, the name of the page accessed, date and time of access, IP address, the amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider. Processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, due to our overriding legitimate interest in ensuring the trouble-free operation of our website as well as improving our offer.

If the contact is made for the performance of pre-contractual measures (e.g. advice on purchase interest, preparation of an offer) or concerns an existing contract, this data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR.

If the contact is made for other reasons, this data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR due to our overriding legitimate interest in handling and responding to your request.

Orders

Collection, processing, and transfer of personal data in orders
When placing an order, we collect and process your personal data only to the extent necessary to fulfill and process your order and to handle your inquiries. Providing the data is required for the conclusion of the contract. Failure to provide it will result in no contract being concluded. Processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR and is necessary for the performance of a contract with you.

Your data will be passed on, for example, to the shipping companies and drop-shipping providers you have chosen, payment service providers, service providers for order processing, and IT service providers. In all cases, we strictly comply with legal requirements. The scope of the data transfer is limited to a minimum.
