Data protection

We are pleased that you are visiting our website and thank you for your interest in our company and our products and services. The protection of your privacy when using our website is important to us. Therefore, please take note of the following information:

1. Collection, processing and use of personal data

In principle, you can visit our website without us collecting personal data from you. Personal data is only collected if you provide it to us of your own accord to execute a contract, when opening a customer account or when contacting us. Without your express consent, this data will only be used to process contracts and your inquiries. After the contract has been fully processed, your data will be blocked with due regard to tax and commercial retention periods and deleted after these periods have expired.

In addition, we use your e-mail address, which we receive in connection with the sale of goods or services, exclusively for direct advertising in the form of our newsletter for our own goods or services similar to those you have ordered, provided you have not objected to this use. You can object to the use of your email address at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic tariffs. Your objection (and thus the cancellation of our newsletter) can be exercised by sending a message to our e-mail address (see legal notice).

2. Transfer of personal data

2.1 The personal data collected by us will be passed on to the transport company commissioned with the delivery as part of the contract processing, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of the goods.

2.2 When paying by credit card via PayPal or by direct debit via PayPal, we pass on your payment data to PayPal (Europe) S.à rl et Cie, SCA, 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg as part of the payment processing.

Our website uses so-called social plugins ("plugins") from the microblogging service Twitter, which is operated by Twitter Inc., 1355 Market St, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA ("Twitter").

This information (including your IP address) is sent directly from your browser to a Twitter server in the USA and stored there.

If you interact with the plugins, for example by pressing the "Twitter" button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a Twitter server and stored there.
