Data protection
Privacy policy
Thank you for your interest in our website. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below we inform you in detail about how we handle your data.
Collection, processing and use of your data
You can visit our website without providing any personal information. We only store access data without personal reference, such as the name of your internet service provider, the page from which you visit us or the name of the requested file. This data is evaluated exclusively for the purpose of improving our services and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person.
Personal data is only collected if you voluntarily provide it to us when ordering goods or opening a customer account, or when registering for our newsletter. We use the data you provide without your separate consent exclusively for the fulfilment and processing of your order. Once the contract has been fully processed and the purchase price has been paid in full, your data will be blocked for further use and deleted after expiry of the retention periods under tax and commercial law, unless you have expressly consented to the further use of your data. When registering for the newsletter, your e-mail address will be used with your consent for our own advertising purposes until you unsubscribe from the newsletter. You can unsubscribe at any time.
Use of cookies
We use cookies on various pages to make visiting our website more attractive and to enable the use of certain functions. These are small text files that are stored on your computer. Most of the cookies we use are deleted from your hard drive at the end of the browser session (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your computer and enable us to recognise your computer on your next visit (so-called permanent cookies). These cookies are used to greet you with your user name and make it unnecessary for you to re-enter your password or fill in forms with your data for subsequent orders. Our partner companies are not permitted to collect, process or use personal data via our website using cookies.
Passing on personal data
Your data will be passed on to the shipping company commissioned with the delivery, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of the goods. For the processing of payments, we pass on your payment data to the credit institution commissioned with the payment.
Right to information
According to the Federal Data Protection Act, you have the right to free information about your stored data and, if necessary, the right to correct, block or delete this data.

If you have any questions about the collection, processing or use of your personal data, or if you would like to request information, correct, block or delete data, or withdraw your consent, please contact:

Data security
We secure our website and other systems by technical and organisational measures against loss, destruction, access, modification or distribution of your data by unauthorised persons. Access to your customer account is only possible after entering your personal password. You should always treat your access information confidentially and close the browser window when you have finished communicating with us, especially if you share the computer with others.
Trustami trustmark
To display the collected ratings as well as social media feedback, the Trustami trust seal is integrated on this website.
This serves the implementation of our legitimate interests in an optimal marketing of our offer on our own website. When the Trustami trustmark is called up, the web server automatically saves data (access data) in the form of a server log file, which contains, for example, the date and time of the call-up, your IP address in abbreviated form and the requesting provider. This access data is not evaluated and is automatically overwritten at the latest seven days after the end of your visit to the site. The Trustami trustmark and the services advertised with it are an offer of Trustami GmbH, Friedrich-Wilhelm Str.68, 12103 Berlin.
Dealing with comments and contributions
If you leave a post or comment on this website, your IP address will be stored.
This serves the security of the website operator:
If your text violates the law, he would like to be able to track your identity.
Privacy policy for a newsletter
Newsletter data
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected or only on a voluntary basis. We use newsletter service providers, which are described below, to process the newsletters.
Rapidmail
This website uses Rapidmail to send newsletters. The provider is rapidmail GmbH, Augustinerplatz 2, 79098 Freiburg i.Br., Germany.
Rapidmail is a service with which, among other things, the sending of newsletters can be organised and analysed. The data you enter for the purpose of receiving newsletters is stored on Rapidmail's servers in Germany.
Data analysis by Rapidmail
For the purpose of analysis, the emails sent with Rapidmail contain a so-called "tracking pixel", which connects to Rapidmail's servers when the email is opened. In this way, it can be determined whether a newsletter message has been opened.
Furthermore, with the help of Rapidmail, we can determine whether and which links in the newsletter message are clicked on. All links in the email are so-called tracking links, which can be used to count your clicks. If you do not want any analysis by Rapidmail, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message.
You can find out more about Rapidmail's analysis functions by clicking on the following link: https://de.rapidmail.wiki/kategorien/statistiken/.
Legal basis
The data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You can revoke this consent at any time. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.
Storage period
The data you provide 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 after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data that has been stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.
After you have unsubscribed from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist, if necessary, to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO). The storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
For more details, please refer to Rapidmail's data security instructions at: https://www.rapidmail.de/datensicherheit.
Order processing
We have concluded a contract on order processing (AVV) with the above-mentioned provider. This is a contract required by data protection law, which ensures that the provider only processes the personal data of our website visitors in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the DSGVO.
