Your data will be protected within the framework of the statutory provisions. Below you will find information on what data is collected during your visit to the website and how it is used.

COLLECTION AND PROCESSING OF DATA

Every access to our website and every retrieval of a file stored on the website is logged and stored for a maximum of one year. The storage serves internal system-related and statistical purposes. The following data is logged: Name of the file accessed, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, web browser and requesting domain. In addition, the IP addresses of the requesting computers are logged.

The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) f) EU-GDPR.

HOSTING BY A THIRD PARTY PROVIDER

As part of processing on our behalf, a third party provider provides hosting and website display services for us. This serves to protect our legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our offer, which outweigh our interests in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) EU-GDPR. All data collected in the course of using this website or in forms provided for this purpose in the online shop as described below are processed on its servers. Processing on other servers only takes place within the framework explained here.
This service provider is located within a country of the European Union or the European Economic Area..

CONTACT REQUESTS

When you contact us by e-mail or via the contact form, the data you provide will be stored by us in order to process your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent. We delete the data accruing in this context after the storage is not always necessary or restrict the processing if there are legal retention obligations.
The legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(a) EU-GDPR.

CONTRACT INITIATION AND CONTRACT FULFILMENT

We collect personal data if you voluntarily provide it to us as part of your order, when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail) or when opening a customer account. Mandatory fields are marked as such because in these cases we absolutely need the data to process the contract or to process your contact or to open the customer account and you cannot complete the order and/or open the account or send the contact without providing it. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide to process the contract and deal with your enquiries. After complete processing of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after expiry of the retention periods under tax and commercial law, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration. The deletion of your customer account is possible at any time and can be done either by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a function provided for this purpose in the customer account.

The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b) EU-GDPR.

In addition, you have the option of registering with us using your social media account (Facebook, Amazon, Google, Paypal or Microsoft). By doing so, you consent to the processing of your personal data by the respective provider. The data protection information and general terms and conditions of the respective providers apply in this regard. We have no influence on the processing of your data by the respective provider.

The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) a) EU-GDPR.

DATA TRANSFER

If you select the payment method purchase on account during the ordering process, we will pass on your data to Creditreform Boniversum GmbH Hammfelddamm 13, 41460 Neuss; you can find the company’s data protection declaration here: https://www.boniversum.de/datenschutzerklaerung/. When purchasing on account, we make an advance payment. You pay only after receipt of the goods. The transfer of your data is based on the legitimate interest in minimising the risk of non-payment. The legal basis for the data transfer is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) EU-GDPR. Data is not passed on for any other payment methods.

For the fulfilment of the contract, we also pass on your data to the shipping company commissioned with the delivery, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of ordered goods, cf. Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) EU-GDPR.
Depending on which payment service provider you select in the ordering process, we pass on the payment data collected for this purpose to the credit institution commissioned with the payment and, if applicable, to payment service providers 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 register with the payment service provider with your access data during the ordering process. In this respect, the data protection declaration of the respective payment service provider applies.

Newsletter

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Matomo (FORMERLY Piwik)

This website uses the open source web analytics service Matomo. Matomo uses so-called „cookies“. These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. For this purpose, the information generated by the cookie about the use of this website is stored on our server. The IP address is anonymised before storage.
Matomo cookies remain on your terminal device until you delete them.
The storage of Matomo cookies and the use of this analysis tool are based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the anonymised analysis of user behaviour in order to optimise both its website and its advertising. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.

If you delete your cookies, this will have the effect that the Matomo opt-out cookie will also be deleted. The opt-out must be reactivated when you visit this website again.

USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA PLUG-INS

We currently use the following social media plug-ins: Facebook, Twitter.
We use the so-called two-click solution. This means that when you visit our site, no personal data is initially passed on to the providers of the plug-ins. You can recognise the provider of the plug-in by marking the box with its initial letter or logo. We give you the opportunity to communicate directly with the provider of the plug-in via the button. Only if you click on the marked box and thereby activate it, will the plug-in provider receive the information that you have accessed the corresponding website of our online offer. In the case of Facebook, according to the respective providers in Germany, the IP address is anonymised immediately after collection. By activating the plug-in, your personal data is transmitted to the respective plug-in provider and stored there (in the case of US providers, in the USA). Since the plug-in provider collects the data in particular via cookies, we recommend that you delete all cookies via your browser’s security settings before clicking on the greyed-out box.
We have no influence on the data collected and data processing procedures, nor are we aware of the full extent of the data collection, the purposes of the processing and the storage periods. We also have no information on the deletion of the collected data by the plug-in provider.
The plug-in provider stores the data collected about you as a usage profile and uses this for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or designing its website in line with requirements. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (also for users who are not logged in) for the display of needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact the respective plug-in provider to exercise this right. Via the plug-ins, we offer you the opportunity to interact with the social networks and other users so that we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user.
The data transfer takes place regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in to the plug-in provider, the data we collect is directly assigned to your account with the plug-in provider. If you click the activated button and, for example, link to the page, the plug-in provider also saves this information in your user account and shares it publicly with your contacts. We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, but especially before activating the button, as this will help you avoid being assigned to your profile with the plug-in provider.
