Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time regarding this. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data has taken place unlawfully, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
If we no longer require your personal data, but you require it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.

SSL or TLS encryption

This website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the website operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock symbol in your browser bar.

When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Encrypted payment transactions on this website

If, following the conclusion of a contract involving payment, you are required to provide us with your payment details (e.g. account number for direct debit authorisation), these details are required for payment processing.

Payment transactions using standard payment methods (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are carried out exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address bar changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock icon in your browser’s address bar.

With encrypted communication, the payment details you send to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to promotional emails

We hereby object to the use of contact details published in accordance with our legal obligation to provide an imprint for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information material. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example via spam emails.

4. Data collection on this website

Server log files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

Browser type and browser version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Host name of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address

This data is not combined with other data sources.

The collection of this data is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website – for this purpose, the server log files must be collected.

Contact form

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, provided that your enquiry relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries addressed to us (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR) where this has been requested; consent may be withdrawn at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. once your enquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Enquiries by email, telephone or fax

If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your enquiry, including all personal data contained therein (name, enquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

The data you send to us via contact enquiries will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. once your enquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

Registration on this website

You can register on this website to use additional features on the site. We use the data entered for this purpose solely for the purpose of using the respective offer or service for which you have registered. The mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise, we will reject the registration.

In the event of significant changes, such as to the scope of the service or technically necessary changes, we will use the email address provided during registration to inform you accordingly.

The data entered during registration is processed for the purpose of fulfilling the user relationship established by the registration and, where applicable, to enter into further contracts (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).

We will store the data collected during registration for as long as you remain registered on this website, after which it will be deleted. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

5. Newsletter

Newsletter data

If you wish to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we require your email address and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you consent to receiving the newsletter. No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form takes place exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may withdraw your consent to the storage of your data and email address, as well as to their use for sending the newsletter, at any time, for example via the “Unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The lawfulness of any data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by this withdrawal.

The data you have provided to us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter, and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list once you have unsubscribed or once the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider on a blacklist, if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used solely for this purpose and is not merged with other data. This serves both your interests and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). Storage on the blacklist is not time-limited. You may object to the storage provided that your interests override our legitimate interest.

6. E-commerce and payment providers

Processing of customer and contract data

We collect, process and use personal customer and contract data for the establishment, content and modification of our contractual relationships. We collect, process and use personal data relating to the use of this website (usage data) only to the extent necessary to enable the user to use the service or to bill them for it. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.

The customer data collected will be deleted upon completion of the order or termination of the business relationship and expiry of any applicable statutory retention periods. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Data transfer upon conclusion of a contract for online shops, retailers and goods dispatch

When you order goods from us, we pass on your personal data to the transport company responsible for delivery and to the payment service provider commissioned to process the payment. Only data required by the respective service provider to fulfil its task is disclosed. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures. Provided you have given your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, we will pass on your email address to the transport company responsible for delivery so that they can inform you by email about the dispatch status of your order; you may withdraw your consent at any time.
