Information on data protection
General data privacy statement
Our site can be used without having to enter your personal details. Different provisions might apply to the use of individual services on our site; in this case they are explained separately below. Your personal details (e.g. your name, address, email address, phone number etc.) will only be processed by us in accordance with the provisions of the German data protection law. Data is regarded as personal when it can unambiguously be allocated to a particular natural person. The legal basis for data privacy can be found in the Federal Data Protection Act [Bundesdatenschutzgesetz] (BDSG). In this respect the provisions below will provide you with information about how the supplier collects, uses and processes personal details, how much data this involves and its purpose.
For orders via our Webshop
You can either place orders as a guest through our website without registering or register in our shop as a customer for future orders. The advantage of being registered in our webshop is that you can make an order directly in our shop by logging in with your e-mail address and your password without having to enter your contact information again.
Your personal data will be filled in a form, get transmitted to us and stored. Once you place an order in our Webshop, we will collect the following data in the case of a guest customer as well as in the case of a registered customer:
- salutation, first name, last name,
- a valid email address,
- address,
- telephone number (landline and / or mobile)
The collection of these data takes place in order to:
- identify you as our customer;
- process, fulfill and handle your order;
- to write to you if needed;
- send you invoices;
- settle possible liability claims, as well as to assert any claims against you;
- ensure the technical administration of our Webshop;
- manage our customer data.
The data processing is based on your order and / or registration and is in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b DSGVO for the stated purposes for the proper processing of your order and for the mutual fulfillment of obligations arising from the purchase agreement.
The collected personal data will be stored for the processing of your order until the expiration of the statutory retention obligation and then deleted, unless according to Article 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c DSGVO we are obliged to store your data for a longer period of time due to tax and commercial requirements for storage and documentation (HGB, StGB or AO) or you are obliged to make further storage in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a DSGVO have consented.

These functions are only available to registered users. With the product availability you can be automatically informed as soon as a product is in stock again.
With the wish list you can remember items for the future. You can delete the wish list entries on your profile at any time. Your wish list and product availability information will also be deleted at the latest when your account is deleted.
Use and disclosure of personal information
When you engage us with rendering of a service or the sending of goods, your personal information will only be used to the extent necessary for the rendering of the service or the fulfillment of the contract, unless you have specifically agreed to other uses thereof. This includes, in particular, the disclosure of your information to shipping companies, credit companies or other service providers used to render the service or fulfill the contract.
Upon complete fulfillment of the contract, your information will be blocked from further use and deleted after expiry of the retention period prescribed by tax and commercial law, to the extent that you have not expressly consented to its further use.
Use and transmission of personal details
When you instruct us to provide you with a service or send you merchandise, your personal details will only be used without your separate consent insofar as is necessary for the provision of the service or the execution of the agreement. This includes in particular passing your details on to transport companies, credit companies or other service providers used to provide the service or process the agreement.
Once the agreement has been completely processed, your details will be blocked against further use, and after the expiry of the retention periods prescribed by tax and commercial law they will be deleted unless you have expressly consented to their being used further.

Data privacy statement for cookies
Inclusion of third party services and content
It can be the case that third party content such as YouTube videos, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites are incorporated in this website. This always requires the providers of this content (referred to below as “third party suppliers”) to be aware of the user’s IP address, because without the IP address they would be unable to send the content to the respective user’s browser. The IP address is thus necessary for displaying this content. We endeavour only to use content from providers that solely use the IP address to deliver such content. However, we have no influence, for example, over third party suppliers that store the IP address for statistical purposes. We inform users of this insofar as we are aware of it.
Web analysis with Google (Universal) Analytics
This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (www.google.de). Google (Universal) Analytics uses methods that enable an analysis of your use of the website, such as „cookies“, text files that are stored on your computer. The information generated about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. By activating IP anonymization on this website, the IP address is reduced prior to the transmission within the Member States of the European Union or in other partner states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The anonymous IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with any other Google data. You can prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookies and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
