Data Protection

Data Privacy Policy
We appreciate your interest in our website. The protection of 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 websites without providing any personal information. We only store access data in 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 used exclusively to ensure the smooth operation of the website and to improve our services. It does not allow us to draw conclusions about your identity.

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 your order, when contacting us (e.g., via contact form or email), or when opening a customer account. The data collected is evident from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide to process the contract and handle your inquiries. After the complete processing of the contract or the deletion of your customer account, your data will be blocked for further use and deleted after the tax and commercial storage periods unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data beyond that which is legally permitted and which we will inform you about below. 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 via a designated function in the customer account.

Data Disclosure for Contract Fulfillment
For the purpose of contract fulfillment, we disclose your data to the shipping company responsible for delivery, to the extent necessary for the delivery of ordered goods. Depending on which payment service provider you select in the order process, we disclose the payment information collected for this purpose to the credit institution responsible for 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 there. In this case, you must log in 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.

Data Use for Email Newsletter Registration
When you register for our newsletter, we use the data required for this or separately provided by you to regularly send you our email newsletter based on 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.

Data Use for Email Advertising without Newsletter Registration and Your Right to Object
If we receive your email address in connection with the sale of goods or services and you have not objected, we reserve the right to regularly email you offers for similar products from our range by email. You can object to this use of your email address at any time by sending a message to the contact option described below or by using the link provided for this purpose in the advertising email, without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic tariffs.

Data Use for Postal Advertising and Your Right to Object
Furthermore, we reserve the right to store your first and last name, your postal address, and - as far as we have received this additional information from you as part of the contractual relationship - your title, academic degree, year of birth, and your professional, industry, or business designation in summarized lists and to use them for our own advertising purposes, e.g., for sending interesting offers and information about our products by postal mail. 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.

If you have given us your explicit consent during or after your order by activating a corresponding checkbox or by clicking a button provided for this purpose, we will send your email address to Trusted Shops GmbH, Subbelrather Str. 15c, 50823 Cologne, Germany (www.trustedshops.de), so that they can send you a review reminder by email.

Integration of the Trusted Shops Trustbadge
To display our Trusted Shops seal of approval and the potentially collected reviews as well as to offer Trusted Shops products for buyers after an order, the Trusted Shops Trustbadge is integrated on this website.

The Trustbadge and the services advertised with it are offered by Trusted Shops GmbH, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne. When the Trustbadge is called up, the web server automatically stores a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, your IP address, date and time of the access, the amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider (access data), and documents the call. This access data is not evaluated and is automatically overwritten no later than seven days after the end of your page visit. Further personal data will only be transferred to Trusted Shops if you decide to use Trusted Shops products after completing an order or if you have already registered for their use. In this case, the contractual agreement between you and Trusted Shops applies.
