2. General Information

We process personal data only to the extent
necessary to provide our online shop, to process orders, for communication, to
comply with legal obligations, or on the basis of consent. Personal data is any
information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

3. Hosting and Shop
Platform Shopify

The online shop is operated via Shopify.
Shopify provides the technical shop platform as well as hosting, security,
database, and administration functions. In this context, in particular IP
address, device and browser information, log data, order and account data, and
communication data may be processed. This processing serves to provide a secure
and functional online shop, to perform the contract, and to safeguard our
legitimate interest in reliable shop operations (Art. 6(1)(b), (f) GDPR). Where
data is processed outside the European Economic Area, the applicable data
protection transfer mechanisms (e.g. Standard Contractual Clauses) apply.

4. Server Log Files

When the online shop is
accessed, technically necessary data is processed. This may include the IP
address, date and time, the page accessed, referrer URL, browser type,
operating system, amount of data transferred, and status messages. This
processing serves the technical provision, stability, error analysis, and
prevention of misuse. The legal basis is generally Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Log data
is deleted or anonymised once it is no longer required for these purposes,
unless longer statutory or security-related retention periods apply.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and comparable
technologies within the meaning of Section 25 of the German
Telecommunications-Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG). Technically necessary
technologies may be used without consent to the extent they are strictly
necessary for the expressly requested use of the shop, the shopping cart
function, login, security, or payment processing (Section 25(2) No. 2 TTDSG in
conjunction with Art. 6(1)(b), (f) GDPR). Non-essential analytics, convenience,
or marketing technologies are only used subject to your consent (Section 25(1)
TTDSG in conjunction with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may change or withdraw your
choices at any time, with future effect, via the consent management tool in

6. Orders and Contract Processing

When placing an order, we
process in particular your name, billing and delivery address, contact details,
ordered items, prices, payment status, shipping information, returns and
complaints data, and, where applicable, tax and customs data. This processing
is necessary to initiate and perform the contract, to carry out payments and
deliveries, to handle enquiries, and to process warranty and reversal
procedures. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Statutorily required
retention is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

7. Customer Account

You may create a customer
account. In doing so, we process the master, contact, address, and account data
you provide, as well as order histories, to the extent made available in the
customer account. This processing serves to set up and manage the account and
to simplify order processing. The account may be deleted at any time, unless
statutory retention obligations or open contractual matters preclude this.

8. Contact

If you contact us by e-mail,
telephone, or via a contact form, we process your information to handle your
enquiry and any follow-up questions. For contract-related enquiries, processing
is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, otherwise generally on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Where
consent is obtained, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR applies.

link in the newsletter. Proof of consent may be retained for the duration of
applicable statutory documentation obligations.

depending on your selection and availability, data is transmitted to payment

are only used where they are actually deployed and correctly reflected in the

Data may, where necessary, be
transmitted to IT, hosting, shop, payment, shipping, communication, accounting,

behalf are engaged in accordance with statutory requirements. Data is only
disclosed for other purposes where there is a legal basis or consent.

17. Transfers to Third Countries

Where international service
providers are used, processing may take place outside the European Union or the
European Economic Area. In such cases, the statutory requirements for transfers
to third countries are observed, such as an adequacy decision, appropriate
safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses, or a relevant exemption.
Details depend on the providers actually used.
