Privacy Policy

(1) Information on the collection of personal data and contact details of the controller

(1.1) We are pleased about your visit and thank you for your interest. Below, we inform you about how we handle your personal data when you use our services. Personal data refers to all data that can be used to identify you personally.

(1.2) The persons named above on this page are responsible for data processing on this website within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The recipients of any personal data are these named persons. Data will be passed on to third parties if we are legally or contractually obliged to do so. If we pass on data to third parties on our own initiative, this can be found in the respective subsections of this data protection declaration (e.g. shipping service providers). We also use contract processors. If personal data is transmitted as part of contract processing, this is done on the basis of a contract processing agreement in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. If the contract processor is located in a non-EU member state (third country), we ensure that suitable guarantees are in place in accordance with Art. 44 et seq. GDPR.

(2) Data collection when visiting our website

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of personal data and other confidential content (e.g., orders or inquiries to the controller), this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the character string "https://" and the lock symbol in your browser bar.

If you use our website for informational purposes only, i.e., if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect data that your browser transmits to our server (so-called "server log files"). When you access our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display the website to you:

- Our visited website
- Date and time of access
- Amount of data sent in bytes
- Source/reference from which you came to the page
- Browser used
- Operating system used
- IP address used in anonymized form

Processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR based on our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data will not be shared or used for any other purpose. However, we reserve the right to subsequently review the server log files if there are concrete indications of illegal use.

(3) Cookies

In order to make visiting our website more attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use so-called cookies on various pages. These are small text files that are stored on your device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted after the end of the browser session, i.e. after you close your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your device and enable us or our partner companies (third-party cookies) to recognize your browser on your next visit (persistent cookies). If cookies are set, they collect and process certain user information to an individual extent, such as browser and location data as well as IP address values. Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period of time, which can vary depending on the cookie.

If personal data is also processed through individual cookies implemented by us, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR either to execute the contract or in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR to protect our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website and a customer-friendly and effective design of the site visit.

Please note that you can set your browser to inform you about the use of cookies and to decide whether to accept them individually, or to reject cookies in certain cases or in general. Each browser differs in the way it manages cookie settings. This is described in the help menu of each browser, which explains how to change your cookie settings.

(4) Data processing for contract execution

According to Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, personal data will continue to be collected and processed if you provide it to us for the performance of a contract. The data collected depends on what is necessary for contract processing. Typically, this includes your first name, last name, street, house number, postal code, city, email address, telephone number, and optionally, title and company name. In individual cases, bank details and the subject of the order.

In this case, your data will be processed by us for the duration of the existing contractual relationship for the purpose of executing the contract. After termination of the contractual relationship with you, your data will be stored by us for a further three years based on our legitimate interest. If statutory archiving periods exist, the final storage period will be based on the applicable statutory provisions.

(5) Contact

When you contact us (e.g. via contact form or email), personal data is collected. Title, first name, last name, email address and optionally telephone number are collected. Depending on the form or topic, further information is collected. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of answering your request or for establishing contact and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. In this case, your data will be processed by us for the duration of the existing contractual relationship for the purpose of executing the contract. After the contractual relationship with you has ended, we will store your data for a further 3 years based on our legitimate interest. If statutory archiving periods exist, the final storage period depends on the specifications therein.

(6) Use of your data for direct marketing purposes

We analyze your order data and your usage behavior in the newsletter and on the website to provide you with the best possible content. This could include price information or information about new products, for example, and may be sent as email notifications or as package inserts.

(6.1) Registration for our email newsletter

If you subscribe to our email newsletter, we will send you information about our offers. The only mandatory information required to receive the newsletter is your email address and your name. Providing any other information is voluntary and will be used to address you personally.

By registering to receive our newsletter, you give us your consent to use your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. When you register for the newsletter, we save the IP address entered by your Internet service provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration so that we can trace any possible misuse of your email address at a later date. The data we collect when you register for the newsletter will be used exclusively for the purposes of advertising via the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link provided for this purpose in the newsletter or by sending a corresponding message to the person responsible named above. After unsubscribing, your email address will be immediately deleted from our newsletter distribution list unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use the data in any other way that is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.

(6.2) Sending the email newsletter to existing customers

If you provided us with your email address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for goods or services from our range that are similar to those you have already purchased. According to Section 7 (3) of the Unfair Competition Act (UWG), we do not need to obtain your separate consent for this. In this respect, data processing is carried out solely on the basis of our legitimate interest in personalized direct advertising in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If you initially objected to the use of your email address for this purpose, we will not send you any emails. You are entitled to object to the use of your email address for the aforementioned advertising purpose at any time with effect for the future by notifying the person responsible named at the beginning. You will only incur transmission costs according to the basic rates. Upon receipt of your objection, the use of your email address for advertising purposes will be stopped immediately.
