Personal Data

Personal data in the sense of the Federal Data Protection Act is information that can be used to determine your identity. This includes, for example, information such as your name, address, postal address, telephone number or IP address. When initiating, concluding, processing and reversing a purchase contract, we collect, store and process data in accordance with the statutory provisions. The personal data that you provide to us, for example, when placing an order or by e-mail (e.g. your name and contact details), will only be processed for correspondence with you and only for the purpose for which you provided us with the data. We only pass on your data to the shipping company commissioned with the delivery, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of the goods. For the processing of payments, we pass on your payment data to the credit institution commissioned with the payment. We assure you that we will not otherwise pass on your personal data to third parties unless we are legally obliged to do so or you have given your express prior consent. Insofar as we use the services of third parties for the execution and handling of processing procedures, we will comply with the provisions of the German Federal Data Protection Act. Personal data that has been communicated to us via our website will only be stored until the purpose for which it was entrusted to us has been fulfilled. Insofar as retention periods under commercial and tax law must be observed, the duration of storage of certain data may be up to 10 years. At some points on our website, we offer you the opportunity to contact us. We use the personal data transmitted in this connection only for the respective purpose for which it was collected by us.
