Privacy Policy

Unless otherwise stated below, the provision of your personal data is neither legally nor contractually required, nor is it necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide your data. Failure to provide data will have no consequences. This only applies insofar as no other information is provided in the subsequent processing operations.

"Personal data" refers to all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Server Log Files

You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. Each time you access our website, usage data is transmitted by your internet browser and stored in log files (server log files). These data include, for example, the name of the accessed page, date and time of access, amount of data transferred and the requesting provider. These data are used solely to ensure trouble-free operation of our website and to improve our services. It is not possible to associate this data with a specific person.

Collection and Processing via Contact Form

When using the contact form, we collect your personal data (name, email address, message text) only to the extent provided by you. The data processing is for the purpose of contacting you. By submitting your message, you consent to the processing of the transmitted data. Processing is based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR with your consent.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by notifying us, without affecting the legality of processing carried out based on the consent before its withdrawal. Your email address will only be used to process your request. Your data will be deleted thereafter, unless you have consented to further processing and use.

By submitting a comment, you consent to the processing of the submitted data. Processing is based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time.

Processing and Use of Personal Data for Orders

When placing an order, we collect and use your personal data only to the extent necessary to fulfil and process your order and handle your enquiries. The provision of data is necessary for the conclusion of a contract. Failure to provide it means no contract can be concluded. Processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Data will only be shared with third parties if necessary for contractual purposes or based on legal obligations. These may include delivery services, payment service providers, IT service providers, and drop shipping partners.

Use of Email Address for Newsletters

We use your email address for sending our own newsletters if you have explicitly agreed. Processing is based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time. This can be done via a link in the newsletter or by contacting us. Your email address will then be removed from the mailing list.

We use an email marketing service provider for this purpose. Data is not shared with other third parties.

Data may be transferred to a third country with an adequacy decision by the European Commission.
