Data protection

1. General scope of data processing

Data protection is of great importance in our society. We comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which regulates the processing of personal data uniformly for the entire European Union, and other national data protection laws of the member states as well as other data protection regulations. We generally only collect, process and use personal data to the extent that this is necessary to provide a functional website and to present our offers and provide our services.

As a user, you can generally visit our websites without providing any personal information. Personal data is only collected and used to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. Your personal data is generally only collected and used with your consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for actual reasons or where the collection and processing of data is permitted by law.

For security reasons, we use an SSL certificate on our website to provide secure connections by encrypting all incoming and outgoing data traffic. You can recognize the encryption by the lock symbol in your browser line and the fact that "https://" is displayed there.

  1. General legal bases for the processing of personal data

If we obtain consent from the data subject for processing personal data, Art. 6 (1) (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the legal basis for the processing of personal data.

When processing personal data that is necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR is the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.

If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject, Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR is the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) (d) GDPR is the legal basis.

If the necessary processing serves to safeguard our legitimate interests or those of a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR is the legal basis for the processing.

  1. Data deletion and storage period

Your personal data stored by us will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for storing it no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which we are subject, e.g. due to retention and documentation obligations under tax and commercial law. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

You can cancel your newsletter subscription at any time. There is a link for this purpose in every newsletter. This also makes it possible to revoke your consent to the storage of the personal data collected during the registration process.

  1. Customer registration

If the registration serves to fulfil a contract between you and us or to carry out pre-contractual measures, the additional legal basis for processing the data is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

Your data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. This is the case during the registration process for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures if the data is no longer required for the implementation of the contract. Even after the contract has been concluded, it may be necessary to store the contractual partner's personal data in order to comply with contractual or legal obligations.

To change or delete your data, simply contact us using the contact details provided in the imprint. Ideally, you should send us an email.

For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those that were sent by email, this is the case when the respective communication with you has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.

You have the option to revoke your consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If you have contacted us by email, you can object to the storage of your personal data at any time.

In the event that you have given us or, at your request, the service partner your express consent to do so, we will also pass on your email address, telephone number or date of birth for the purpose of coordinating a delivery date with the shipping company or a required identity and credit check with the payment service provider. If you do not give us your consent in this regard, a prior agreement on a delivery date or a delivery notification or a "purchase on account" or "purchase by direct debit" or "installment purchase" is not possible. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

However, these decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 (1) GDPR, unless Art. 9 (2)(a) or (g) applies and appropriate measures to protect your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests have been taken. With regard to the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the controller shall take appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.

  1. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR. The supervisory authority to which the complaint was submitted shall inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Art. 78 GDPR.
