Privacy policy

Unless otherwise stated below, the provision of your personal data is neither legally or contractually required, nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obligated to provide the data. Failure to provide it has no consequences. This only applies as long as no other indication is made in the following processing operations. "Personal data" refers to all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Server Log Files

You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. Each time our website is accessed, usage data is transmitted to us or our web host/IT service provider by your internet browser and stored in log data (so-called server log files). This stored data includes, for example, the name of the accessed page, date and time of access, IP address, the amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider. Processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR based on our predominant legitimate interest in ensuring the trouble-free operation of our website as well as improving our offering.

Orders

Collection, Processing, and Transfer of Personal Data for Orders

When placing an order, we collect and process your personal data only to the extent necessary to fulfill and process your order as well as to handle your inquiries. Providing the data is necessary for the conclusion of the contract. Failure to provide it means that no contract can be concluded. Processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) GDPR and is necessary for fulfilling a contract with you.

Your data will be passed on, for example, to the shipping companies and dropshipping providers chosen by you, payment service providers, order processing service providers, and IT service providers. In all cases, we strictly comply with legal requirements. The scope of data transmission is limited to a minimum.

Plug-ins

Use of Google Maps

We use the function for embedding Google Maps maps from Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google") on our website.

If you habitually reside in the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) is the controller responsible for your data. Google Ireland Limited is thus the affiliated company of Google that is responsible for processing your data and for compliance with applicable data protection laws.

The function enables the visual display of geographic information and interactive maps. When the pages in which Google Maps maps are embedded are accessed, Google also collects, processes, and uses data about visitors to the websites.

Your data may also be transmitted to the USA. Google has certified itself under the US-EU Privacy Shield Agreement and is therefore committed to complying with European data protection guidelines.

Processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR based on the legitimate interest in the needs-based and targeted design of our website.

For more information on data collection and use by Google, please refer to Google’s privacy policy at https://www.google.com/privacypolicy.html. There, in the privacy center, you also have the opportunity to change your settings to manage and protect your data processed by Google.
