Privacy Notice

Please note that our privacy policy is valid in German language. 

Privacy policy

Unless otherwise stated below, the provision of your personal data is not required by law or contract, nor is it necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the data. Non-provision has no consequences. This only applies insofar as no other information is provided in the subsequent processing operations.

"Personal data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Server log files

You can visit our websites without giving any personal information.
Whenever you access our website, usage data is transmitted to us or our web host / IT service provider by your Internet browser and stored in log files (so-called server log files). These stored data include, for example, the name of the page accessed, the date and time of the access, the IP address, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider. The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO out of our predominant legitimate interest in ensuring the trouble-free operation of our website as well as to improve our offer.

When you open a customer account, we collect your personal data to the extent stated there. The data processing serves the purpose of improving your shopping experience and simplifying the order processing. The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO with your consent. You can revoke your consent at any time by notifying us, without affecting the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation. Your customer account will then be deleted.

Collection, processing and transfer of personal data in connection with orders

When you place an order, we collect and process your personal data only to the extent necessary to fulfil and process your order and to deal with your enquiries. The provision of the data is necessary for the conclusion of the contract. A non-supply has the consequence that no contract can be concluded. The processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO and is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract with you.
Your data will be passed on, for example, to the shipping companies and dropshipping providers you have chosen, payment service providers, service providers for order processing and IT service providers. In all cases we strictly observe the legal requirements. The extent of the data transfer is limited to a minimum.

Contact / Reviews / Newsletter

Collection and processing when using the contact form

When using the contact form, we only collect your personal data (name, e-mail address, message text) to the extent that you have provided it. The data processing serves the purpose of establishing contact. By sending your message you agree to the processing of the transmitted data. The processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO with your consent.

You can revoke your consent at any time by notifying us, without affecting the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation. We only use your e-mail address to process your enquiry. Your data will then be deleted, unless you have agreed to further processing and use.

Data collection when writing a comment

When commenting on an article or a contribution, we only collect your personal data (name, e-mail address, comment text) to the extent that you have provided it. The processing serves the purpose of enabling commenting and displaying comments. By sending the comment you agree to the processing of the transmitted data. The processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO with your consent. You can revoke your consent at any time by notifying us, without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation. Your personal data will then be deleted.

If your comment is published, only the name you have given will be published.

Use of the e-mail address for sending newsletters



We use your e-mail address independently of the contract implementation exclusively for our own advertising purposes for the newsletter dispatch, provided that you have expressly agreed to this. The processing takes place on the basis of art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO with your consent. You may revoke your consent at any time without affecting the legality of the processing that has taken place on the basis of the consent until the revocation. To do so, you can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the corresponding link in the newsletter or by notifying us. Your e-mail address will then be removed from the mailing list.

Passing on the e-mail address to shipping companies for information on the shipping status

The forwarding serves the purpose of informing you by e-mail about the shipping status. The processing takes place on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO with your consent. You can revoke your consent at any time by notifying us or the transport company, without affecting the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation.

Analysis

Use of Google Analytics

We use the web analysis service Google Analytics of Google LLC on our website. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). Insofar as you have your habitual residence in the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) is the person responsible for your data. Google Ireland Limited is therefore the company affiliated with Google which is responsible for processing your data and for ensuring compliance with applicable data protection laws.
The data processing is used for the purpose of analysing this website and its visitors as well as for marketing and advertising purposes. To this end, Google will use the information obtained on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities and to provide further services to the website operator in connection with website and internet use. The following information, among others, may be collected: IP address, date and time of page view, click path, information about the browser and device you use, pages visited, referrer URL (website from which you accessed our website), location data, purchasing activities. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google.
Google Analytics uses technologies such as cookies, web memory in the browser and counting pixels, which enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information thus generated about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. IP anonymisation is activated on this website. As a result, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
Google has certified itself under the US-EU Privacy Shield Agreement and is thus committed to complying with the European data protection guidelines.
The data processing, in particular the setting of cookies, is carried out with your consent on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. You may revoke your consent at any time without affecting the legality of the processing that has taken place on the basis of your consent until the time of revocation. You can find more detailed information on the terms of use and data protection at https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/ and https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies?hl=de.

Plug-ins

Using the Google Tag Manager

We use the Google Tag Manager of Google LLC on our website. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). If you are ordinarily resident in the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) is the data controller. Google Ireland Limited is therefore the company affiliated with Google which is responsible for processing your data and for ensuring compliance with applicable data protection laws.

This application manages JavaScript tags and HTML tags, which are used to implement tracking and analysis tools in particular. The data processing serves the purpose of designing and optimizing our website to meet your needs.
The Google Tag Manager itself neither stores cookies nor processes personal data. It does, however, enable the triggering of further tags that can collect and process personal data.

You can find more information on terms of use and data protection here.

Use of Social Plug-ins

We use social networking plug-ins on our website. The integration of social plug-ins and the data processing that takes place serves the purpose of optimizing the advertising for our products.
When social plug-ins are integrated, a link is established between your computer and the servers of the social network providers and the plug-in is displayed on the page by notifying your browser, provided you have expressly agreed to this. In doing so, both your IP address and the information which of our pages you have visited are transmitted to the provider servers. This applies regardless of whether you are registered or logged in to the social network. Even if you are not registered or not logged in, a transmission will take place. If you are simultaneously connected to one or more of your social network accounts, the information collected can also be assigned to your corresponding profiles. When using the plug-in functions (e.g. by clicking the button), this information is also assigned to your user account. You can prevent this assignment by logging out of your social media accounts before visiting our website and before activating the buttons.

Data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO with your consent. You can revoke your consent at any time without affecting the legality of the processing that has taken place on the basis of the consent until the revocation. The social networks named below are integrated into our website by means of social plug-ins. You will find more detailed information on the scope and purpose of the collection and use of the data as well as on your rights and options for protecting your privacy in this regard in the linked data protection notices of the providers.
