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.

1. Access data and hosting

You can visit our websites without giving any personal information. Whenever you call up a website, the web server merely automatically saves 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 call, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the call.

This access data is evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring the trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offer. In accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f DSGVO, this serves to safeguard our predominantly legitimate interests in a correct presentation of our offer in the context of a weighing of interests. All access data is deleted at the latest seven days after the end of your visit to our website.

Hosting services by a third party provider

Within the scope of processing on our behalf, a third party provider provides us with the services for hosting and displaying the website. This serves to protect our legitimate interests in a correct presentation of our offer, which outweigh any other interests. All data collected in the course of using this website or in forms provided for this purpose in the online shop as described below are processed on its servers. Processing on other servers only takes place within the scope described here.

This service provider is located within a country of the European Union or the European Economic Area.

2. Data collection and use for contract processing 

We collect personal data when you provide us with this information as part of your order or when you contact us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail). Mandatory fields are marked as such, because in these cases we need the data for the processing of the contract or for the processing of your contact and you cannot complete the order or send the contact without the data. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide us with in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b DSGVO for contract processing and processing your enquiries. After complete processing of the contract, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after the expiry of any 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 your data for other purposes that are legally permitted and about which we inform you in this declaration.

3. Data transfer

In order to fulfil the contract in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b DSGVO, 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 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 may 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.

4. E-mail newsletter and postal advertising

Postal advertising and your right of objection

Furthermore, we reserve the right to use your first and last name as well as your postal address for our own advertising purposes, e.g. to send you interesting offers and information on our products by letter post. This serves to protect our legitimate interests, which outweigh any other interests, in advertising to our customers in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

5. Use of data for payment processing

Credit assessment

If we make advance payment, e.g. in the case of purchase on account, it is necessary to obtain identity and creditworthiness information from specialised service companies (credit agencies) in accordance with Art. 22 Para. 2 lit. a DSGVO in order to conclude the contract. For this purpose, we transmit your personal data required for a credit assessment to the following company(ies):

Creditreform Boniversum GmbH

Hellersbergstrasse 11

41460 Neuss

Appropriate measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms and legitimate interests will be taken into account. You have the opportunity to express your point of view and to appeal against the decision by contacting the contact point described below. After the contract has been fully executed, your data processed for this purpose will be deleted, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use your data in a manner that goes beyond that which is legally permitted and about which we inform you in this declaration.

6. Cookies

To make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, to display suitable products or for market research, we use so-called cookies on various pages.

Cookies are small text files that are automatically stored on your end device. Some of the cookies used by us are deleted again after the end of the browser session, i.e. after closing your browser (so-called session cookies).

7. Social media plugins

Use of social plugins from Facebook, Twitter using the Shariff solution

Social buttons from social networks are used on our website.

This serves to safeguard our predominantly legitimate interests in an optimal marketing of our offer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO. In order to increase the protection of your data when visiting our website, these buttons are not fully integrated into the page as plug-ins, but only by using an HTML link. This integration ensures that when a page of our website containing such buttons is called up, no connection is yet established with the servers of the provider of the respective social network.

If you click on one of the buttons, a new window of your browser opens and calls up the page of the respective service provider, on which you can (if necessary after entering your login data) e.g. press the Like or Share button.

For the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by the providers on their sites, as well as a contact option and your rights and settings options for protecting your privacy, please refer to the providers' data protection information. http://www.facebook.com/policy.php https://twitter.com/privacy
