The protection of your personal data is very important to us. We would therefore like to inform you in the following pages about the data collected during your visit and the purposes it is used for. Should you still have any queries about the handling of your personal data, please contact us.
The ongoing further development of technology, changes in our services or the legal situation as well as other reasons can require adjustments of our data protection notice. We therefore reserve the right to change this data protection declaration at any time and ask you to regularly inform yourself about the current status.
1. BASIC INFORMATION ON DATA HANDLING
Extent of the personal data processing
We fundamentally collect and use the personal data of our users only insofar as this is required for the provision of a functional website and of our contents and services as well as for the implementation of our business purpose. As a rule we collect and use the personal data of our users only after the user has given his/her consent. Exceptions apply in such cases where it was not possible to obtain prior consent for factual reasons and where the processing of the data is permitted because of statutory requirements.
Categories of recipients and personal data, origin of the same; data transmission
We forward personal data to our business partners and service providers for the implementation of the business purpose. To implement our business purpose we use typical contact and address data of our customer and business partners. We typically receive the personal data direct from the data subject or with the consent of the data subject and also in exceptional cases from third parties.
Insofar as nothing to the contrary is stated in the following sections, no forwarding of your data to third parties takes place, unless we are legally obliged to do so, or the data transmission is required to perform the contractual relationship or you have previously given your explicit consent to the forwarding of your data. External service providers and partner companies, such as, for example, online payment providers or the shipping company tasked with the delivery, only receive your data insofar as it is necessary for the execution of your order. However, in these cases the extent of the transmitted data is restricted to the minimum required. Insofar as our service providers come into contact with your personal data, we assure that the regulations of the data protection laws are observed in the same manner. Please also observe the data protection notices of the individual providers. The individual service provider is responsible for the contents of third party services, whereby we verify as far as can be reasonably expected that the services observe statutory requirements.
Data deletion and storage periods
The personal data of the data subject is deleted or blocked, as soon as the purpose for which it was stored no longer applies. The data is also blocked or deleted if a statutory storage period prescribed by the cited standards expires, unless there is a need for continued data storage for the purposes of a conclusion or performance of a contract.
2. GENERAL DATA COLLECTION WHEN VISITING OUR WEBSITE
When visiting the website for purely informational purposes, i.e. when you do not register or transfer other information to us, we collect only the personal data that your browser transmits to our server.
Description and extent of data collection
Whenever our internet site is visited, our system automatically records data and information from the computer system of the visiting computer.
The following data is collected:
Information about the browser type and version used;
The operating system and the interface of the user;
The internet server provider of the user;
The IP address of the user;
Date and time of the visit;
Content of the request (concrete internet page);
The quantity of data transmitted;
Websites, from which the system of the user accessed our internet site;
Websites that are visited by the system of the user via our website;
Regarding mobile end devices: Manufacturer and type designation of the Smartphone, tablet or other mobile end devices;
The data is likewise stored in the log files of our system. Storage of this data together with other personal data of the user does not take place.
Duration of the storage
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. If the data is recorded in order to provide the website, this is the case when the session in question has ended.
In the case of storage of data in logfiles, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Storage above and beyond this period is possible. In this case the IP addresses of the user are deleted or distorted so that it is no longer possible to recognise the calling client.
Right to object and removal
The recording of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in logfiles is absolutely essential for the operation of the internet site. As a consequence the user has no possibility to object to this.
3. REGISTRATION
On our internet site we offer users the possibility to register by entering their personal data. The data is entered in the input mask and is transferred to us and stored. The data is not forwarded to third parties. The following data is collected as part of the registration process:
Salutation;
First name;
Last name;
Email;
Password;
Address;
Telephone number;
Country;
Packing station (if available).
At the time of registration the following data is also stored:
The IP address of the user;
Date and time of the registration;
Customer number.
The user is asked as part of the registration process to consent to the processing of this data. After registration has been completed you receive a personal access protected by password and can view and manage the registration data. Registration is effected on a voluntary basis, but may be a precondition for using our services.
Purpose of data processing
User registration is necessary for the provision of certain contents and services, in particular the extended use of our web shop on our website. User registration also serves for the performance of a contract with the user or to take steps prior to entering into a contract. Registration refers in particular to the use of our web shop.
Duration of the storage
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected.
This is the case for the data collected during the registration process if the registration on our internet site is cancelled or modified.
Insofar as the data collected during the registration process is required to perform a contract or to take steps prior to entering into a contract, this is only the case when the data is no longer required to perform the contract. Even after conclusion of the contract it may still be necessary to store personal data in order to fulfil contractual or statutory obligations.

This type of cookie is set by the website that the user visits. Only this website is permitted to read the cookie information.

The user data collected in this manner is pseudonymised by technical precautions. Therefore, the data can no longer be traced to a visiting user. When calling up our website the user is informed about the use of cookies for analysis purposes.
Purpose of data processing
The reason why technically necessary cookies are employed is to simplify use of websites for the users. Some functions of our internet site cannot be offered without the use of cookies. It is essential for these functions that the browser is also recognised again after a page change.
We require cookies for the following functions:
Shopping cart;
To protect the website from attacks;
Marking of sessions - settings;
The user data collected by the technically necessary cookies is not used to generate user profiles.
We use analysis cookies to improve the quality of our website and its contents. The analysis cookies enable us to find out how the website is being used and therefore allow us to ensure an ongoing improvement of our web presence. In addition, they enable us to maintain quality assurance and constantly improve the user experience.
Duration of storage, right to object and removal
Cookies are stored on the computer of the user and are transferred from it to our site. Therefore, you as the user also have full control over the use of cookies. By altering the settings in your internet browser you can disable or restrict the transfer of cookies. Cookies already stored can be deleted at any time. This can also be effected automatically. Disabling cookies for our website may mean that not all functions of the website can be used to their full extent.
Our website uses transient cookies. These are automatically deleted when you close your browser. These are typically so-called session cookies. These store a so-called session ID with which various queries form your browser can be assigned to a common session. It means that your computer can be recognised again when you return to our website. These cookies are deleted when you log out or close the browser.
Our website also uses persistent cookies. These are automatically deleted after a predetermined period that can vary depending on the cookie. These cookies, too, can be deleted at any time.
5. SOCIAL BOOKMARKS
So-called social bookmarks (e.g. from Facebook, Twitter) are integrated into our website. Social bookmarks are internet bookmarks, with which the user of such a service can collect links and news messages. These are integrated into our website only as a link to the relevant services. After clicking the integrated graphic, you will be forwarded to the site of the relevant provider, i.e. only then will user information be transferred to the relevant provider. Information on dealing with your personal data in the use of these websites can be found in the relevant data protection terms and conditions of the provider.
6. DISCLOSING DATA
There will be no transfer of your personal data to a third party apart from for the specified purposes.
We disclose your personal data to a third party only if:
you have given your explicit consent to do so,
the disclosure is required for asserting, exercising or defending legal rights and there are no grounds for assuming that you have an overriding legitimate interest in the non-disclosure of your data,
that there is a statutory obligation for the disclosure, and
this is legally permissible and required for implementing the contractual relationships with you.
Possible risks, which cannot be completely excluded in connection with the data transfer are in particular:
your personal data could possibly be dealt with beyond the actual purpose.
Moreover, there is a possibility that you cannot sustainably assert and implement any of your legal data protection rights, such as, for example, your right to information, correction, deletion or data portability.
There may also be a higher probability that there could be incorrect data processing and the personal data do not quantitively and qualitatively meet.
7. LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES
Our web pages may contain links to other providers. We have no influence on and do not control whether the other providers adhere to the data protection provisions.
8. CHANGES TO THE DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION
We reserve the right to change or adjust this data protection declaration at any time, taking account of the applicable data protection provisions.
