Data protection
We are pleased that you are interested in our website. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below we provide you with detailed information about how we handle your data.
Storage of access data in server log files
You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. We only save access data in so-called server log files, such as the name of the requested file, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider. This data is evaluated solely to ensure trouble-free operation of the site and to improve our offering and does not allow us to draw any conclusions about you personally.
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 you contact us (e.g. via contact form or email) or when you open 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 handle your inquiries. After the contract has been fully processed or your customer account has been deleted, your data will be blocked for further use and deleted after the tax and commercial retention periods have expired, 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 will inform you below. Your customer account can be deleted 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 fulfilment
In order to fulfil the contract, we pass on your data to the shipping company commissioned with the delivery, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of the 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 the 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 with them. In this case, you must log in to the payment service provider with your access data during the ordering process. The data protection declaration of the respective payment service provider applies in this respect.
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 separately provided by you to regularly send you our email newsletter in accordance with your consent. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time and can do so either by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a link provided for this purpose in the newsletter.
Use of data for e-mail advertising without newsletter registration and your right of objection
If we receive your email address in connection with the sale of a product or service and you have not objected to this, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for products from our range that are similar to those you have already purchased by email. You can object to this use of your email address at any time by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a link provided for this purpose in the advertising email, without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates.
Use of data for postal advertising and your right to object
In addition, we reserve the right to store your first and last name, your postal address and - if we have received this additional information from you as part of the contractual relationship - your title, academic degree, year of birth and your professional, 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 post. 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.
Use of 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 at 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 to recognize your browser the next time you visit (persistent cookies). You can set your browser so that you are informed when cookies are set and decide individually whether to accept them or to exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general. If you do not accept cookies, the functionality of our website may be restricted.
Use of Google (Universal) Analytics for web analysis
This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (www.google.de). Google (Universal) Analytics uses methods that enable an analysis of your use of the website, such as so-called "cookies", text files that are stored on your computer. The information generated about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. By activating IP anonymization on this website, the IP address is shortened before transmission within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The anonymized IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.
You can prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating 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=de
As an alternative to the browser plug-in, you can click this link to prevent Google Analytics from collecting data on this website in the future. An opt-out cookie will be stored on your device. If you delete your cookies, you will have to click the link again.
Use of social plugins from Facebook, Twitter, Google, Instagram, Pinterest using the Shariff solution
Our website uses social plugins (“plugins”) from social networks. To increase the protection of your data when you visit our website, the plugins are not integrated into the page without restrictions, but only using an HTML link (the so-called “Shariff solution” from c't ). This integration ensures that when you call up a page on our website that contains such plugins, no connection is established with the servers of the provider of the respective social network. If you click on one of the buttons, a new window in your browser opens and calls up the page of the respective service provider, on which you can (if necessary after entering your login data) press the Like or Share button, for example. Please refer to the providers’ data protection information for the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the providers on their pages, as well as your rights and setting options to protect your privacy.
