Data protection
We appreciate your interest in our website. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. The following will inform you in detail about the handling of your data.
Data collection and use for contract processing and opening a customer account
We collect personal data if you voluntarily provide it to us as part of your order, when you contact us (e.g., using the contact form or email) or when you open a customer account. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide to process contracts and to process your inquiries. After the contract has been fully processed or your customer account has been deleted, your data will be blocked from further use and deleted after the tax and commercial retention periods have expired unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data beyond that, which is permitted by law (regarding which we will 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 below or using a function provided in the customer account.
Data transfer to fulfill the contract
In order to fulfill the contract, we may pass your data on to the shipping company commissioned with the delivery, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of the goods ordered. In order to process payments, we pass on the payment data required to the credit institute commissioned with the payment and, if applicable, to the payment service provider commissioned by us or to the payment service selected by you in the ordering process.
Use of data when registering for the e-mail newsletter
If you register for our newsletter, we will use the data required for this or separately provided by you in order to regularly send you our e-mail newsletter.
