privacy statement
Thank you for your interest in our website. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below we inform you in detail about the handling of your data.
Storage of access data in server log files
You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. We only store access data in so-called server log files, such as the name of the requested file, date and time of retrieval, transferred data volume and the requesting provider. These data are used exclusively to ensure the trouble-free operation of the site and to improve our services and do not allow us to identify you personally.
Data collection and use for contract processing and when opening a customer account
We collect personal data when you voluntarily provide us with it in connection with your order, when you contact us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail) or when you open a customer account. Which data are raised, are evident from the respective input forms. We use the data provided by you for contract processing and processing your enquiries. After complete completion of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be blocked for further use and deleted at the end of the tax and commercial retention periods, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use more data, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you below. The deletion of your customer account is possible at any time and can take place either by a message to the contact possibility described below or over a function intended for it in the customer account.
Data transfer for the fulfilment of the contract
For the fulfilment of the contract we pass on your data to the shipping company commissioned with the delivery, as far as this is necessary for the delivery of ordered goods. Depending on which payment service provider you select in the ordering process, we will pass on the payment data collected for this purpose to the credit institution and payment service provider commissioned by us or to the selected payment service in order to process payments. In some cases, the selected payment service providers also collect this data themselves if you create an account there. In this case, you must register with the payment service provider using your access data during the ordering process. In this respect, the data protection declaration of the respective payment service provider applies.
Use of data when registering for the e-mail newsletter
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we will use the data required for this purpose or provided separately by you in order to send you our e-mail newsletter regularly in accordance with your consent. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time, either by sending a message to the contact person described below or via a link in the newsletter provided for this purpose.
Use of cookies
In order to make visiting our website 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 end device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted after the end of the browser session, i.e. after closing your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your end device and enable us to recognize your browser during your next visit (persistent cookies). You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and decide individually whether to accept them or whether to exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general. If cookies are not accepted, the functionality of our website may be restricted.
Use of Google (Universal) Analytics for Web Analytics
This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (www.google.de). Google (Universal) Analytics uses methods that allow the analysis of your use of the website, such as “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer. The information generated about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. By activating IP anonymisation on this website, the IP address is shortened before transmission within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The data collected by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics is stored on our server.
You can prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
As an alternative to the browser plug-in, you can click this link to prevent Google Analytics from collecting data from this website in the future. An opt-out cookie is stored on your device. If you delete your cookies, you must click the link again.
Use of Hotjar for web analysis
This website uses Hotjar (https://www.hotjar.com) technology to collect and store data from which user profiles are created using pseudonyms. These user profiles are used to analyse visitor behaviour and are evaluated to improve and tailor our services to meet needs. Cookies may be used for this purpose. These are small text files which are stored locally on the end device of the page visitor and thus enable recognition when visiting our website again. The pseudonymised user profiles are not merged with personal data about the bearer of the pseudonym without express consent to be given separately.
You can object to the collection and storage of data at any time with effect for the future by using Heatmaps and session recording tracking.
