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 web pages without disclosing any personal information. We only store access data in so-called server log files, such as the name of the requested file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred and the requesting provider. This data is evaluated solely to ensure trouble-free operation of the site and to improve our offering, and does not allow us to draw any conclusions about your person.
Collection and use of data for contract processing and when opening a customer account
We collect personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us in the course of placing an order, contacting us (e.g. via contact form or email) or opening a customer account. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide to process the contract and handle your enquiries. After the contract has been fully processed or your customer account has been deleted, your data will be blocked for further use and deleted after expiry of the tax and commercial law retention periods, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is legally permitted and about which we inform you below. You can delete your customer account at any time, either by sending a message to the contact option described below or via the function provided for this purpose in the customer account.
Data sharing for contract fulfilment
For the purpose of fulfilling the contract, we pass your data on to the shipping company instructed to deliver the goods, insofar as this is necessary to deliver the ordered goods. Depending on which payment service provider you select during the ordering process, we pass on the payment data collected for this purpose to the credit institution instructed with the payment and, where applicable, to payment service providers commissioned by us and/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 log in to the payment service provider with your access data during the ordering process. The privacy policy of the respective payment service provider applies in this regard.
Use of data when subscribing to the email newsletter
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we use the data required for this or provided separately by you in order 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 option described below or via a link provided for this purpose in the newsletter.
Use of data for email advertising without newsletter subscription and your right to object
If we receive your email address in connection with the sale of a product or service and you have not objected, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for similar products from our range by email. You can object to the use of your email address at any time by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a link provided for this purpose in the marketing email, without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates.
Use of data for postal advertising and your right to object
We also reserve the right to store your first and last name, your postal address and—if we have received these additional details from you in the context of the contractual relationship—your title, academic degree, year of birth and your professional, industry or business designation in compiled lists and to use them for our own advertising purposes, e.g. to send interesting offers and information about our products by letter post. You can object to the storage and use of your data for these purposes at any time by sending a message to the contact option described below.
