Privacy Policy

Protecting your personal data is particularly important to us. We therefore process your data exclusively on the basis of applicable law, in particular the GDPR. In this privacy policy we explain the most important aspects of how data is processed on our website.

Collection and processing of data

When you visit our website, your IP address and the start and end of the session are recorded for the duration of that session. This is technically necessary and therefore constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Unless stated otherwise below, we do not process this data further.

Data retention and disclosure

If you contact us via a form on the website or by email, the data you provide is stored with us for six months in order to process your enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass this data on without your consent.

Processing of payment data

Please note that, in order to simplify the purchase process and to handle the contract afterwards, the web shop operator stores the account holder's IP data in cookies, along with the buyer's name, address and credit card number.

Contract handling and disclosure to third parties

The data you provide is required in order to perform the contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures. Without this data we cannot enter into a contract with you. Data is not transferred to third parties, with the exception of credit card details passed to the processing banks and payment service providers for the purpose of debiting the purchase price, to the transport and shipping company we commission for delivery, and to our tax adviser in order to meet our tax obligations.

Deletion and storage of data

If the purchase process is cancelled, the data stored with us is deleted. If a contract is concluded, all data arising from the contractual relationship is stored until the statutory tax retention period (7 years) has expired.
