Each time you access a website, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data), and documents the access. This access data is evaluated solely for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the website and improving our offering. According to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, this serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in a correct presentation of our offering, which override our balancing of interests. All access data is deleted no later than seven days after your visit to the website.

We collect personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us as part of your order, when you contact us (e.g. via contact form or email) or when you open a customer account.

Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR to process the contract and process your enquiries. After the contract has been fully processed or your customer account has been deleted, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after the retention periods under tax and commercial law have expired, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use the data in any other way that is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.

Depending on which payment service provider you select during the ordering process, we will pass on the payment data collected for this purpose to the credit institution commissioned with the payment and, if applicable, to the payment service provider 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 with your access data during the ordering process.

Use of social plugins from Facebook, Google, Instagram 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 Facebook, Google, Twitter or Instagram. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly to your browser by the respective provider and integrated into the page. By integrating the plugins, the providers receive the 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 from your browser directly to a server of the respective provider (possibly in the USA) and stored there. If you are logged in to one of the 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 of the provider and stored there. The information is also published on the social network and displayed to your contacts there. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in the optimal marketing of our offer in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, which prevail within the framework of a balancing of interests.
