Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Unless otherwise stated below, the provision of your personal data is neither legally nor contractually required, nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the data. Failure to provide it has no consequences. This applies only insofar as no other indication is made in the following processing operations.
"Personal data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Server Log Files
You can visit our websites without providing any personal information.
Each time you access our website, usage data is transmitted to us or our web hosting provider / IT service provider by your internet browser and stored in log files (so-called server log files). These stored data include, for example, the name of the accessed page, date and time of the access, IP address, amount of data transferred and the requesting provider. Processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR due to our overriding legitimate interest in ensuring the trouble-free operation of our website as well as in improving our services.
Your data is also transferred to Canada, among other places. For data transfers to Canada, there is an adequacy decision by the EU Commission.

Contact

Controller
You may contact us if you wish. The contact details of the data controller can be found in our Legal Notice (Imprint).

Customer-initiated Contact by Email
If you contact us by email on your own initiative, we collect your personal data (name, email address, message text) only to the extent provided by you. The data processing serves to process and respond to your contact request.
If the contact is for the purpose of carrying out pre-contractual measures (e.g. advice in case of purchase interest, preparation of an offer) or concerns an existing contract with us, this data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR.
If the contact is for other reasons, this data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR due to our overriding legitimate interest in processing and responding to your request. In this case, you have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.
We use your email address only to process your request. Your data will then be deleted in compliance with statutory retention periods, unless you have consented to further processing and use.


Orders

Collection, Processing and Disclosure of Personal Data in Orders
When ordering, we collect and process your personal data only to the extent necessary to fulfill and process your order as well as to handle your inquiries. The provision of the data is necessary for the conclusion of the contract. Failure to provide it means that no contract can be concluded. Processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR and is necessary for the performance of a contract with you.
Your data will be disclosed, for example, to the shipping companies and dropshipping providers chosen by you, payment service providers, service providers for order processing, and IT service providers. In all cases, we strictly comply with the legal requirements. The scope of the data transfer is limited to the minimum necessary.
Your data is also transferred to Canada, among other places. For data transfers to Canada, there is an adequacy decision by the EU Commission.

Rights of Data Subjects and Storage Period

Duration of Storage
After full processing of the contract, the data will first be stored for the duration of the warranty period, then in consideration of legal, especially tax and commercial retention periods, and deleted after the expiration of these periods, unless you have consented to further processing and use.

Rights of the Data Subject
If the legal requirements are met, you have the following rights under Art. 15 to 20 GDPR: the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability.
Furthermore, under Art. 21 (1) GDPR, you have the right to object to processing based on Art. 6 (1) f GDPR, as well as to processing for the purposes of direct marketing.

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Supervisory Authority
Pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data is unlawful.

Right to Object
If the personal data processing listed here is based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, you have the right to object to this processing at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, with effect for the future.
After an objection has been made, the processing of the data concerned will be stopped unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or if the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
