We attach great importance to data protection. The collection and processing if your personal data occurs in compliance with the relevant statutory data protection regulations, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
If you want to object to the collection, processing or use of your data on our part as stipulated in these data protection regulations in total or for specific measures, your direct your objection to the responsible party (controller).
We use this log data without identification of your person or other profiling for statistical analyses for the purpose of operation, security and optimisation of our website, but also for anonymous detection of the number of visitors (traffic) on our website, and to measure the scope and type of use of our website and services, likewise for billing purposes to measure the number of clicks received by the cooperation partners. Based on this information we can make personalised and location-based content available, analyse the data traffic, perform troubleshooting and error rectification, and improve our services.
This also constitutes our legitimate interest pursuant to art 6 para. 1 page 1 f) of the GDPR.
We reserve the right to retroactively analyse the log data, if due to concrete indications there is justified suspicion of unlawful use. We store IP addresses for a limited period of time in the log files, if this is necessary for security purposes or needed for the provision of services, or for the billing of a performance, e.g. if you use one of our offerings. After termination of the ordering procedure or after receipt of payment we delete your IP address, if it is no longer required for security purposes. We also store IP addresses if we have concrete suspicion of a criminal act in conjunction with the use of our website. In addition, as part of your account, we save the date of your last visit (e.g. registration, login, clicking of links, etc.).
We use so-called session cookies to optimize our website. A cookie is a small text file that is sent by the respective server when a website is visited and which is buffered (stored temporarily) on your hard disk. This file, as such contains a so-called session ID with which various queries of your browser can be allocated to the shared session. Thus your computer can be recognized again when you return to our website. These cookies will be deleted after you close your browser. They are used, for example, so that you can use the shopping cart function over multiple pages.
To a minor extent we also use persistent cookies (likewise small text files that are placed on your end device), that remain on your end device and enable us to recognise your browser at your next visit. These cookies are stored on your hard disk and delete themselves after the prescribed time. Their life time is 1 month to 10 years. Thus we can present our offering in a manner that is more user-friendly, more effective and more secure, and for example display information on the website that is especially matched to your interests.
Information concerning the number of accesses of our website, as well as use of individual functions of our Internet presence.
At activation of the cookie an identification number is assigned to the cookie and an allocation of your personal data to this identification number is not undertaken. Your name, your IP address or similar data that would enable an allocation of the cookie to you, is not placed in the cookie. We only obtain pseudonymised information on the basis of the cookie, for example, pseudonymised information on what pages of our shop were visited, which products were viewed, etc.
You can set your browser so that you will be informed of cookies beforehand and you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether you accept cookies or exclude acceptance of cookies in specific cases, or completely prevent them. This can restrict the functionality of the website.
We process personal data that we need for fulfilment of our contractual obligations, such as name, address, email address, ordered products, invoice and payment data. Collection of this data is necessary to enter into a contract.
This data will be deleted after warranty periods and statutory retention periods expire. Data that is linked to a user account (see below), in every case remains intact for the time this account is held.
The legal basis for the processing of this data is art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 b) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), so that we can fulfil our contractual obligations to you.
You can create a user account on our website. If this is what you desire, then we need the personal data requested at login. When you subsequently login, only your email address or user name and the password you have selected are required.
For a new registration we collect master data (e.g. name, address), communication data (e.g. email address) and payment data (bank information) as well as access data (user name & password).
To ensure your proper login and to prevent unauthorised logins by third parties, after registration you will receive an activation link via email to activate your account. We will permanently store the data you have transmitted only after registration has occurred.
You can have us delete a user account that has been created at any time, without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs at the basic rates. A message in text form sent to the contact data cited under number 1 (e.g. email, fax, letter) suffices for this purpose. We will then delete your stored personal data, if we are not obligated to still store it for the transacting of orders or due to statutory retention obligations.

After subscribing you will receive a message in which you will be asked to confirm the subscription ("double opt-in"). This is necessary so that third persons cannot subscribe with your email address.
You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter, and thus unsubscribe from the newsletter, at any time.
We store the subscription data as long as it is needed to send the newsletter. We save the logging of the subscription and the sending address as long as an interest exists in verification of the consent originally granted, as a rule this is the statute of limitations for civil claims, therefore a maximum of three years.

The legal basis for logging the subscription is our legitimate interest in proving that the sending was undertaken with your consent.
You can revoke the subscription at any time without incurring costs in this regard other than the transmission costs at the basic rates. A message in text form sent to the contact data cited under number 1 (e.g. email, fax, letter) suffices for this purpose. Naturally you will find an unsubscribe link in every newsletter.
Independently of the newsletter we regularly send product recommendations to you via email. In this manner we provide you with information concerning products from our offering that could be of interest to you based on your recent purchases of goods or services from us. In this regard we strictly comply with the statutory regulations. You can object to this product recommendations at any time, without incurring costs in this regard other than the transmission costs at the basic rates.

Through this measure, within the Member States of the European Union, or in other States party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, your IP address will be shortened by Google beforehand. The full IP address will only be transmitted to Google in the USA and shortened there in exceptional cases.
