Privacy Policy

Unless otherwise specified below, the provision of your personal data is neither required by law or contract, nor is it necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the data. Failure to provide the data will have no consequences. This only applies insofar as no other information is provided in the following processing operations.
“Personal data” is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Server Log Files
You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. Each time our website is accessed, usage data is transmitted by your internet browser and stored in log data (server log files). These stored data include, for example, the name of the page accessed, the date and time of the retrieval, the amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider.
These data are used solely to ensure the smooth operation of our website and to improve our offerings. It is not possible to associate these data with a specific individual.

Collection and Processing When Using the Contact Form
When you use the contact form, we collect your personal data (name, e-mail address, message text) only to the extent that you provide them. Data processing serves the purpose of establishing contact.
By submitting your message, you consent to the processing of the transmitted data. Processing is carried out based on Article 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR with your consent.
You can withdraw your consent at any time by notifying us, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out based on consent before its withdrawal.
We use your e-mail address solely to process your inquiry. Your data will subsequently be deleted, unless you have consented to further processing and use.

Use of Google reCAPTCHA
We use the reCAPTCHA service of Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”) on our website.
The purpose of this verification is to determine whether the input is made by a human or by automated, machine processing. The query includes the transmission of the IP address and, if applicable, other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service, to Google. For this purpose, your input is transmitted to Google and further used there.
However, your IP address is truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCAPTCHA is not merged with other data held by Google.
Your data may also be transferred to the USA. For data transfers to the USA, there is an adequacy decision by the European Commission — the “Privacy Shield.” Google participates in the “Privacy Shield” and has submitted to its requirements.
By activating the verification, you consent to the processing of your data. Processing is carried out based on Article 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR with your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the legality of the processing carried out before withdrawal.
Further information about Google reCAPTCHA and the associated privacy policy can be found at: https://www.google.com/privacy/ads/

The data processing serves the purpose of improving your shopping experience and simplifying order processing. Processing is carried out based on Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR with your consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time by notifying us, without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out before withdrawal. Your customer account will then be deleted.

Collection, 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 fulfill and process your order and to handle your inquiries. The provision of data is required for concluding a contract. Failure to provide it means that no contract can be concluded.
Processing is carried out based on Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR and is necessary for the performance of a contract with you.
Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent, except to our service partners who require the data to fulfill the contractual relationship or service providers we use in the context of order processing.
In addition to the recipients named in this privacy policy, these may include: shipping service providers, payment service providers, merchandise management service providers, service providers for order processing, web hosts, IT service providers, and drop-shipping merchants.
In all cases, we strictly observe the legal requirements. The scope of data transmission is kept to a minimum.
