Unless otherwise stated below, the provision of your personal data is neither legally nor contractually required, nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the data. Failure to provide the data will have no consequences. This applies only insofar as no other indication is made for the processing operations below.

"Personal data" is any 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 are transmitted to us or our web host/IT service provider by your web browser and stored in log data (so-called server log files). These stored data include, for example, the name of the page accessed, the date and time of access, the IP address, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider. The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the grounds of our overriding legitimate interest in ensuring the uninterrupted operation of our website and in improving our offering.

Controller

Contact us if you wish. The contact details of the controller responsible for data processing can be found in our imprint.

Customer-initiated contact by e-mail

If you contact us proactively by e-mail, we collect your personal data (name, e-mail address, message text) only to the extent you provide it. The data processing serves to process and answer your contact request.

If the contact is for the implementation of pre-contractual measures (e.g. consultation regarding purchase interest, preparation of an offer) or concerns a contract already concluded between you and us, this data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

If the contact is made for other reasons, this data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the grounds of our overriding legitimate interest in processing and answering your inquiry. In this case you have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

We use your e-mail address only to process your inquiry. Your data will then be deleted in compliance with statutory retention periods, unless you have consented to further processing and use.

Orders

Collection, processing and disclosure of personal data for orders

When ordering, we collect and process your personal data only to the extent necessary to fulfill and process your order and to handle your inquiries. Providing the data is necessary for concluding the contract. Failure to provide the data will result in no contract being concluded. The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR and is necessary for the performance of a contract with you.

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

Shipping service providers

Disclosure of the e-mail address to shipping companies to inform about the shipping status

We will forward your e-mail address to the carrier as part of order processing, provided you have expressly agreed to this during the ordering process. The disclosure serves the purpose of informing you by e-mail about the shipping status. The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR with your consent. You may revoke your consent at any time by notifying us or the carrier, without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent prior to revocation.
