Privacy policy

Your privacy is important to us!

Unless otherwise stated below, the provision of your personal data is not required by law or contract, nor is it necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the data. Non-provision has no consequences. This applies only insofar as no other information is given in the following processing procedures.

"Personal data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Server-Logfiles

You can visit our websites without providing any personal information.

Whenever you access our website, usage data is transmitted to us or our web host / 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 page accessed, the date and time of access, the IP address, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider. The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 letter f DSGVO out of a justified interest in ensuring the trouble-free operation of our website and to improve our offer.

Collection and processing when using the contact form.

When using the contact form, we only collect your personal data (name, e-mail address, message text) to the extent that you have provided it. The data processing serves the purpose of establishing contact. By sending your message you agree to the processing of the transmitted data. The processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO with your consent.

You can revoke your consent at any time by notifying us, without affecting the legality of the processing that has taken place on the basis of the consent until revocation. We will only use your e-mail address to process your request. Your data will then be deleted unless you have agreed to further processing and use.

Use of Google reCAPTCHA

We use on our website the service reCAPTCHA of Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). The purpose of the query is to distinguish between input by a human being or by automated, machine processing. For this purpose, your input will be transmitted to Google for further use. In addition, the IP address and any other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service will be transmitted to Google. This data is processed by Google within the European Union and possibly also in the USA. For data transmissions to the USA, an adequacy decision of the European Commission, the "Privacy Shield", is in place. Google participates in the "Privacy Shield" and has submitted to the requirements.

The processing takes place on the basis of art. 6 para. 1 letter f DSGVO from the legitimate interest to protect our website from automated spying, abuse and SPAM.

Further information about Google reCAPTCHA and its privacy policy can be found at: https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/android.html and https://www.google.com/privacy.

Collection, processing and transfer of personal data for orders

When you place an order, we collect and process your personal data only to the extent necessary to fulfill and process your order and to process your inquiries. The provision of the data is necessary for the conclusion of the contract. Failure to provide the data means that no contract can be concluded. The processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO and is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract with you.

Your data will be passed on, for example, to the shipping companies and dropshipping providers you have chosen, payment service providers, service providers for order processing and IT service providers. In all cases we strictly observe the legal requirements. The extent of the data transfer is limited to a minimum.

Use of social plug-ins via "Shariff

We use social networking plug-ins on our website. To keep you in control of your information, we use the privacy safe "Shariff" buttons.

No links to the servers of the social networks will be established without your express consent and consequently no data will be transmitted.

"Shariff" is a development of the specialists of the computer magazine c't. It enables more privacy on the net and replaces the usual "Share" buttons of social networks. More information about the Shariff project can be found at https://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html.

If you click on the buttons, a pop-up window appears in which you can log in with your data from the respective provider. Only after this active login by you a direct connection to the social networks will be established.

With your login you give your consent to the transfer of your data to the respective social media provider. Among other things, your IP address as well as the information which of our pages you have visited will be transmitted. If you are connected to one or more of your social network accounts at the same time, the information collected is also assigned to your corresponding profiles. You can only prevent this assignment by logging out of your social media accounts before visiting our website and before activating the buttons. The social networks listed below are connected using the "Shariff" function.

You will find more detailed information on the scope and purpose of the collection and use of the data as well as on your rights and options for protecting your privacy in the linked data protection notices of the providers.
