Data protection
Privacy Policy
We appreciate your interest in our website. Protecting your privacy is very important to us. Below, we provide detailed information 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 access, the amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider. This data is evaluated solely to ensure the smooth operation of the website and to improve our services, and does not allow us to draw any conclusions about your identity.
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 connection with your order, when you contact us (e.g., via contact form or email), or when you create a customer account. The specific data collected is evident from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide for contract processing and handling your inquiries. After complete contract fulfillment or deletion of your customer account, your data will be blocked from further use and deleted after the statutory retention periods under tax and commercial law have expired, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use your data beyond this scope, which is permitted by law and about which we will inform you below. You can delete your customer account at any time, either by sending a message to the contact address provided below or by using the corresponding function in your customer account.
Data transfer for contract fulfillment
To fulfill the contract, we will forward your data to the shipping company commissioned with the delivery, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of the ordered goods. Depending on which payment service provider you select during the ordering process, we will forward the payment data collected for this purpose to the bank commissioned with processing 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 will need to log in to the payment service provider with your access data during the ordering process. The data privacy policy of the respective payment service provider applies in this respect.
Data usage when subscribing to the email newsletter
When you subscribe to our newsletter, we use the data required for this purpose or data you have separately provided to send you our email newsletter regularly, in accordance with your consent. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time, either by sending a message to the contact address provided below or by using the unsubscribe link in the newsletter.
Use of cookies
To make your visit to our website more attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use so-called cookies on various pages. These are small text files that are stored on your device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted after the end of your browser session, i.e., after you close your browser (session cookies). Other cookies remain on your device and allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit (persistent cookies). You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and decide individually whether to accept them, or to exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general. If you do not accept cookies, the functionality of our website may be limited.
Use of Google (Universal) Analytics for web analytics
This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (www.google.de). Google (Universal) Analytics uses methods that enable analysis of your website usage, such as "cookies," which are text files placed on your computer. The information generated about your use of this website is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. By activating IP anonymization on this website, your IP address will be shortened before transmission within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The anonymized IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
You can prevent Google from collecting and processing data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
As an alternative to the browser plugin, you can click this link to prevent Google Analytics from collecting data on this website in the future. This will place an opt-out cookie on your device. If you delete your cookies, you will need to click the link again.
Use of Facebook plugins
Our website uses social plugins (“plugins”) from the social network Facebook, operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). The plugins are identified by a Facebook logo or the phrase “Facebook Social Plugin.” An overview of the Facebook plugins and their appearance can be found here: http://developers.facebook.com/plugins
When you visit a page on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to Facebook's servers. The plugin's content is transmitted directly from Facebook to your browser and integrated into the page. Through this integration, Facebook receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook profile or are not currently logged in to Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there.
If you are logged into Facebook, Facebook can directly associate your visit to our website with your Facebook profile. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the "Like" button or leaving a comment, this information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. The information is also published on your Facebook profile and displayed to your Facebook friends.
For information on the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by Facebook, as well as your related rights and privacy settings, please refer to Facebook's privacy policy: http://www.facebook.com/policy.php
If you do not want Facebook to directly associate the data collected via our website with your Facebook profile, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website. You can also completely prevent Facebook plugins from loading by using browser add-ons, such as the "Facebook Blocker" ( http://webgraph.com/resources/facebookblocker/ ) or the script blocker "NoScript" ( http://noscript.net/ ).

If you have any questions regarding the collection, processing, or use of your personal data, or if you wish to request information, rectification, blocking, or erasure of data, or to withdraw your consent or object to a specific use of your data, please contact us directly using the contact details in our legal notice.
