We appreciate 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 the request, amount of data transferred and the requesting provider. These data are evaluated exclusively to ensure trouble-free operation of the site and to improve our offer and do not allow us to draw any conclusions about your person.

Data collection and use for contract processing and when opening a customer account

We collect personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us as part of your order, when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail) or when opening a customer account. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide to process the contract and to handle your inquiries. After complete processing of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be blocked for further use and deleted after expiry of the retention periods under tax and commercial law, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, 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 be done either by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a function provided for this purpose in the customer account.

Data transfer for contract fulfillment

For the fulfillment of the contract, we pass on your data to the shipping company commissioned with the delivery, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of ordered goods. Depending on which payment service provider you select in the ordering process, we pass on the payment data collected for this purpose to the credit institution commissioned with the payment and, if applicable, to payment service providers commissioned by us or to the selected payment service. In some cases, the selected payment service providers also collect this data themselves, insofar as you create an account there. In this case, you must register with the payment service provider with your access data during the ordering process. In this respect, the privacy policy of the respective payment service provider applies..

Use of data when subscribing to the e-mail newsletter

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we use the data required for this purpose or separately provided by you to regularly send you our e-mail newsletter in accordance with your consent. Unsubscribing from the newsletter is possible at any time and can be done either by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a link provided for this purpose in the newsletter.

Data use for postal advertising and your right to object

Furthermore, we reserve the right to store your first and last name, your postal address and - insofar as we have received this additional information from you as part of the contractual relationship - your title, academic degree, year of birth and your profession, industry or business name in summarized lists and to use them for our own advertising purposes, e.g. to send you interesting offers and information about our products by mail. You can object to the storage and use of your data for these purposes at any time by sending a message to the contact option described below.

Credit assessment and scoring

If we make advance payments, e.g. in the case of purchase on account, we reserve the right to obtain identity and creditworthiness information from specialized service providers (credit agencies) in order to protect our legitimate interests.

The credit report may contain probability values (score values) that are calculated on the basis of scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical methods and whose calculation includes, among other things, address data. We use the information obtained about the statistical probability of a payment default for a weighed decision about the establishment, implementation or termination of the contractual relationship. Your interests worthy of protection are taken into account in accordance with the statutory provisions.

Credit check and scoring when selecting BillSAFE (PayPal purchase on account)

If you choose the payment method "purchase on account" of the PayPal service "BillSAFE" , you will be asked in the ordering process to consent to the transmission of the data required for the processing of the payment and an identity and credit check to PayPal. If you give your consent, this data will be transmitted to PayPal. For the purpose of its own identity and credit checks, PayPal or partner companies commissioned by PayPal transmit data to credit agencies and receive information from them as well as, if necessary, creditworthiness information on the basis of mathematical-statistical procedures, the calculation of which includes, among other things, address data.

You can revoke your consent to PayPal at any time. However, PayPal may still be entitled to process, use and transfer your personal data if this is necessary for the contractual processing of payments or is required by law or ordered by a court or authority.
