Privacy Policy
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.

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. In order to process payments, we pass on the payment data required for this to the credit institution commissioned with the payment and, if applicable, to the payment service provider commissioned by us or to the payment service you selected during the ordering process.
