privacy policy

Welcome to our website!


We attach great importance to protecting your data and safeguarding your privacy. Below we therefore inform you about the collection and use of personal data when using our website.


Anonymous data collection
You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. However, every time you access our website, usage data is transmitted to us or our web host/IT service provider through your Internet browser and stored in protocol data (so-called server log files). This stored data includes, for example, the name of the page accessed, the date and time of 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 GDPR due to our overriding legitimate interest in ensuring the trouble-free operation of our website and to improve our offering.

collection, processing, use and disclosure of personal data
We collect personal data (individual information about the personal or factual circumstances of a specific or identifiable natural person) only to the extent provided by you.
Your personal data will be processed and used to fulfil and process your order and to process your enquiries.
After the contract has been fully processed, all personal data will initially be stored taking into account retention periods under tax and commercial law and then deleted after the deadline has expired, unless you have consented to further processing and use.

customer account
When you open a customer account, we collect your personal data to the extent specified there. The data processing serves the purpose of improving your shopping experience and simplifying order processing. The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of GDPR 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 the revocation. Your customer account will then be deleted.

orders
When you place an order, we only collect and process your personal data to the extent that this is necessary to fulfil and process your order and to process your enquiries. To process the contract, we use an internal merchandise management system as part of order processing, to which the personal data collected as part of the order is transmitted. The provision of the data is necessary for the conclusion of the contract. Failure to provide the data means that no contract can be concluded. The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b of GDPR and is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract with you.

sending newsletters
Regardless of contract processing, we use your email address exclusively for our own advertising purposes to send newsletters, provided that you have expressly consented to this. Processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of GDPR with your consent. You can revoke your consent at any time without affecting the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by using the corresponding link in the newsletter or by notifying us. Your email address will then be removed from the mailing list. Your data will be passed on to an email marketing service provider as part of order processing. It will not be passed on to other third parties. Your data will be transmitted to a third country for which an adequacy decision of the European Commission exists.

shipping service providers
Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent. The only exception to this is our service partners, who we need to process the contractual relationship.
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 these cases, we strictly adhere to the requirements of the Federal Data Protection Act. The extent of data transmission is limited to a minimum.
We will pass on your email address to the transport company as part of the contract processing, provided that you have expressly consented to this during the ordering process. The purpose of the transfer is to inform you of the shipping status by email. The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of GDPR 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 the revocation.
In addition, the data protection declarations of our shipping service providers DPD and DHL apply.

All PayPal transactions are subject to the PayPal privacy policy, which can be found at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full .

cookies
Our website uses so-called cookies in several places. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser. This cookie contains a characteristic string of characters that enables the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is accessed again. Cookies do not contain any personal data.

We use these cookies to make our service more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies also enable our systems to recognize your browser even after you change pages and to offer you services. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For these, it is necessary that the browser is recognized even after you change pages.
The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR due to our overriding legitimate interest in ensuring the optimal functionality of the website and a user-friendly and effective design of our offering.
Cookies are stored on your computer. You therefore have full control over the use of cookies. By selecting the appropriate technical settings in your Internet browser, you can be notified before cookies are set and decide individually whether to accept them, as well as prevent the cookies from being stored and the data they contain from being transmitted. Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted at any time. However, we would like to point out that you may then not be able to use all of the functions of this website to their full extent.

Use of the remarketing or "similar audiences" function of Google Inc.
The provider uses the remarketing or "similar target groups" function of Google Inc. ("Google") on the website. Using this function, the provider can target website visitors with advertising by displaying personalized, interest-based advertising for visitors to the provider's website when they visit other websites in the Google Display Network. Google uses so-called cookies to carry out the analysis of website usage, which forms the basis for creating interest-based advertisements. For this purpose, Google stores a small file with a sequence of numbers in the browsers of website visitors. This number is used to record visits to the website and anonymized data about website usage. No personal data of website visitors is stored. If you subsequently visit another website in the Google Display Network, you will be shown advertisements that are highly likely to take into account previously viewed product and information areas.
You can permanently deactivate the use of cookies by Google by following the link below and downloading and installing the plug-in provided there:
https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin?hl=de
Alternatively, you can disable the use of cookies by third parties by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative deactivation page at http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ and implementing the additional opt-out information provided there.
Further information on Google Remarketing and Google’s privacy policy can be found at: http://www.google.com/privacy/ads/

Use of Google Adwords Conversion Tracking
We use the online advertising program “Google AdWords” and conversion tracking as part of Google AdWords. Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”).
When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is stored on your computer. These cookies have a limited validity, do not contain any personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification.
If you visit certain pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to this page.
Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. This means that there is no way for cookies to be tracked across AdWords customers' websites.
The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.
If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by preventing the installation of cookies through a corresponding setting in your browser software (deactivation option). You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
Further information and Google’s privacy policy can be found at: http://www.google.de/policies/privacy/

The data processing described in this section, in particular the setting of cookies, is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR due to our overriding legitimate interest in the needs-based and targeted design of the website, for example through analysis and statistics tools. You have the right to object to this processing of personal data concerning you based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation.

If you have made your profile publicly accessible in the Google Plus settings, Google may display your "+1" as references together with your profile name and photo in Google services, such as in search results or in your Google profile, or elsewhere on websites and advertisements on the Internet. If you do not want Google to assign the collected information directly to your Google Plus profile, you must log out of Google Plus before visiting our site.
