We appreciate your interest in our online store. Protecting your privacy is very important to us. Below, we provide detailed information about how we handle your data.

1. Access Data and Hosting

You can visit our website without providing any personal information. Each time you visit a webpage, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file that contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of the request, the amount of data transferred, and the requesting Internet service provider (access data), and documents the request.

This access data is analyzed solely for the purpose of ensuring the smooth operation of the website and improving our services. In accordance with Article 6(1), first sentence, letter f of the GDPR, this serves to protect our legitimate interests—which prevail following a balancing of interests—in the proper presentation of our services. All access data is deleted no later than seven days after the end of your visit to the website. 

Hosting Services Provided by a Third-Party Provider
As part of processing on our behalf, a third-party provider provides us with services for hosting and displaying the website. All data collected through the use of this website or in the forms provided for this purpose in the online store, as described below, is processed on its servers. Processing on other servers takes place only within the scope described here.

This service provider is located within a country of the European Union or the European Economic Area.

2. Collection and Use of Data for Contract Processing, Establishing Contact, and Opening a Customer Account

We collect personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us as part of your order, when you contact us (e.g., via the contact form or email), or when you open a customer account. Required fields are marked as such because, in these cases, we absolutely need the data to fulfill the contract, process your inquiry, or open a customer account; without providing this information, you will not be able to complete your order and/or open an account, or submit your inquiry. The specific data collected is indicated on the respective input forms.

We use the data you provide in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR to fulfill the contract and process your inquiries. Once the contract has been fully fulfilled or your customer account has been deleted, your data will be restricted from further processing and deleted after the retention periods required by tax and commercial law have expired, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use your data beyond these periods in a manner permitted by law, about which we will inform you in this statement. You may delete your customer account at any time, either by sending a message using the contact information provided below or by using the function provided for this purpose in your customer account.

3. Data Sharing

To fulfill the contract in accordance with Article 6(1), sentence 1, subparagraph (b) of the GDPR, we share your data with the shipping company responsible for delivery, to the extent necessary to deliver the ordered goods. Depending on which payment service provider you select during the ordering process, we will transfer the payment data collected for this purpose to the financial institution responsible for processing 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 with them. In this case, you must log in to the payment service provider’s platform using your login credentials during the ordering process. The privacy policy of the respective payment service provider applies in this regard.

We use a payment service provider that is headquartered in a country outside the European Union. Personal data is transferred to this company only to the extent necessary to fulfill the contract.

Sharing Data with Shipping Providers

Provided that you have given us your explicit consent to do so during or after placing your order, we will, pursuant to Article 6(1), first sentence, (a) of the GDPR, share your email address with the selected shipping provider so that it can contact you prior to delivery to notify you of the shipment or coordinate delivery details.

You may revoke your consent at any time by sending a message to the contact information provided below or by contacting the shipping service provider directly at the contact address listed below. Upon revocation, we will delete the data you provided for this purpose, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use your data for other purposes that are permitted by law and about which we inform you in this statement.

Data Transfer to Debt Collection Agencies
To fulfill the contract in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, we will transfer your data to a contracted debt collection agency if our payment claim has not been settled despite a prior reminder. In this case, the debt will be collected directly by the debt collection agency. Furthermore, the transfer serves to protect our legitimate interests—which prevail following a balancing of interests—in effectively asserting and enforcing our payment claim in accordance with Article 6(1), sentence 1, letter f of the GDPR.

4. Email Newsletters and Direct Mail

Email Marketing with Newsletter Subscription
When you subscribe to our newsletter, we use the data required for this purpose or data you have provided separately to send you our email newsletter on a regular basis, based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6(1), sentence 1, lit. a of the GDPR.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by either sending a message using the contact information provided below or by clicking the link provided for this purpose in the newsletter. After you unsubscribe, we will remove your email address from the mailing list, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use your data for other purposes that are permitted by law and about which we inform you in this statement.

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 to this, we reserve the right to periodically send you offers via email for products from our product range that are similar to those you have already purchased, based on Section 7(3) of the German Unfair Competition Act (UWG). This serves to protect our legitimate interests—which, following a balancing of interests, are deemed to prevail—in sending promotional communications to our customers.
You may object to this use of your email address at any time by sending a message to the contact information provided below or by clicking a link provided for this purpose in the promotional email, without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the standard rates.

The newsletter is sent as part of data processing carried out on our behalf by a service provider to whom we disclose your email address for this purpose. This service provider is located in a country within the European Union or the European Economic Area.

Direct Mail Advertising and Your Right to Opt Out

In addition, we reserve the right to use your first and last name as well as your mailing address for our own advertising purposes, e.g., to send you interesting offers and information about our products by mail. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests—which prevail following a balancing of interests—in sending promotional communications to our customers, in accordance with Article 6(1), first sentence, letter f of the GDPR.

The promotional mailings are provided as part of a processing operation carried out on our behalf by a service provider to whom we disclose your data for this purpose.

6. Cookies and Web Analytics

To make your visit to our website more appealing and to enable the use of certain features, to display relevant products, or for market research purposes, we use so-called cookies on various pages. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests—which prevail following a balancing of interests—in optimizing the presentation of our offerings, in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Cookies are small text files that are automatically stored on your device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted at the end of the browser session—that is, when you close your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your device and allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit (persistent cookies). You can find the storage duration in the overview within your web browser’s cookie settings. You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept them, or to block the acceptance of cookies in specific cases or generally. Each browser manages cookie settings differently. This is described in each browser’s Help menu, which explains how you can change your cookie settings. You can find these for the respective browsers at the following links:

Use of Google (Universal) Analytics for Web Analytics
This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics for web analytics. The web analytics service is provided by Google Ireland Limited, a company incorporated and operating under Irish law, with its registered office at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (www.google.de). This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests—which prevail following a balancing of interests—in optimizing the presentation of our offerings in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Google (Universal) Analytics uses methods that enable an analysis of your use of the website, such as cookies. The information automatically collected about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. By enabling IP anonymization on this website, the IP address is truncated within the member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area prior to transmission. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the United States and truncated there. The anonymized IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is generally not combined with other data held by Google. Once the purpose for which the data was collected has been fulfilled and we have ceased using Google Analytics, the data collected in this context will be deleted.

To the extent that information is transferred to and stored on Google’s servers in the United States, the U.S. company Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield. A current certificate can beviewedhere. Based on this agreement between the United States and the European Commission, the latter has determined that companies certified under the Privacy Shield provide an adequate level of data protection.

You can prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address), as well as from processing this data, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link:https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

Alternativ zum Browser-Plugin können Sie <a href=""javascript:gaOptout()"">diesen Link</a> klicken, um die Erfassung durch Google Analytics auf dieser Website zukünftig zu verhindern. Dabei wird ein Opt-Out-Cookie auf Ihrem Endgerät abgelegt. Löschen Sie Ihre Cookies, müssen Sie den Link erneut klicken.

In addition, this website uses Google Signals. This is an extension of Google Analytics that enables so-called “cross-device tracking.” This means that, provided your internet-enabled devices are linked to your Google Account, Google can generate reports on usage behavior (particularly cross-device user numbers), even if you switch devices. Google uses data for this purpose if you have enabled the “personalized ads” setting in your Google Account.

This serves to protect our legitimate interests—which prevail following a balancing of interests—in optimizing the presentation of our offerings, in accordance with Article 6(1), sentence 1, subparagraph (f) of the GDPR.
We do not process personal data in this context; we merely receive statistics generated by Google Signals.
You candisable the “personalized ads” setting in your Google Account at any time, thereby opting out of data collection by Google Signals.

7. Online Marketing

Google Ads Remarketing
We use Google Ads to advertise this website in Google search results and on third-party websites. To do this, when you visit our website, Google sets a so-called remarketing cookie, which automatically enables interest-based advertising using a pseudonymous cookie ID and based on the pages you have visited. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests—which prevail following a balancing of interests—in the optimal marketing of our website, in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Once the purpose has been fulfilled and we have ceased using Google Ads Remarketing, the data collected in this context will be deleted.

Any additional data processing will only take place if you have consented to Google linking your web and app browsing history to your Google Account and using information from your Google Account to personalize the ads you see on the web. In this case, if you are signed in to Google while visiting our website, Google will use your data in conjunction with Google Analytics data to create and define audience lists for cross-device remarketing. To do this, Google will temporarily link your personal data with Google Analytics data to form audiences.

Google Ads is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, a company incorporated and operating under Irish law, with its registered office at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (www.google.de).
To the extent that information is transferred to and stored on Google’s servers in the United States, the U.S. company Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield.

8. Social Media

Use of Social Plugins from Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest

Our website uses so-called social plugins (“plugins”) from social networks.

When you visit a page on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of the respective social network. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from the respective provider to your browser and integrated into the page. By embedding the plugins, the providers receive information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a profile or are not currently logged in. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a server operated by the respective provider (possibly in the U.S.) and stored there. If you are logged in to one of these services, the providers can directly associate your visit to our website with your profile on the respective social network. If you interact with the plugins—for example, by clicking the “Like” or “Share” button—the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a server operated by the provider and stored there. The information is also published on the social network and displayed there to your contacts. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests—which prevail following a balancing of interests—in the optimal marketing of our offerings, in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

YouTube Video Plugins
This website incorporates content from third-party providers. This content is provided by Google (“Provider”). YouTube is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, a company incorporated and operating under Irish law, with its registered office at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (www.google.de).

For YouTube videos embedded on our site, the advanced privacy settings are enabled. This means that YouTube does not collect or store any information from website visitors unless they play the video. The embedding of these videos serves to safeguard our legitimate interests—which prevail following a balancing of interests—in the optimal marketing of our offerings, in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

For information on the purpose and scope of data collection, as well as the further processing and use of the data by the providers on their websites, contact information, and your rights and privacy settings in this regard, please refer to the providers’ privacy policies:

If you do not want social networks to directly associate the data collected through our website with your profile on the respective service, you must log out of that service before visiting our website. You can also completely prevent the plugins from loading by using browser add-ons, such as the script blocker“NoScript.”

Our online presence on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and Pinterest

Our presence on social media networks and platforms is designed to facilitate better, more active communication with our customers and prospective customers. There, we provide information about our products and current special promotions.
When you visit our social media profiles, your data may be automatically collected and stored for market research and advertising purposes.

These profiles may be used, for example, to display advertisements—both on and off the platforms—that are presumed to match your interests. Cookies are generally used on your device for this purpose. These cookies store visitor behavior and user interests. In accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, this serves to safeguard our legitimate interests—which prevail following a balancing of interests—in optimizing the presentation of our offerings and communicating effectively with customers and prospective customers. If you are asked by the respective social media platform operators to provide consent to data processing—for example, via a checkbox—the legal basis for the data processing is Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.
Insofar as the aforementioned social media platforms have their headquarters in the United States, the following applies: An adequacy decision by the European Commission is in place for the United States. This is based on the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield. A current certificate for the respective company can beviewed here.
