We are pleased that you are interested in our online shop. Protecting your privacy is very important to us. Below we inform you in detail about the handling of your data.

1. Access Data and Hosting

You can visit our website without providing any personal information. Each time a website is called up, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, date and time of the call, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the call. This access data is evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offer. This serves to protect our overriding legitimate interests in a correct presentation of our offer in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. All access data will be deleted no later than seven days after the end of your visit to the site.

1.1 Hosting

The services for hosting and displaying the website are partly provided by our service providers as part of processing on our behalf. Unless otherwise stated in the present data protection declaration, all access data and all data collected in the forms provided on this website are processed on their servers. If you have any questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please use the contact option described in this data protection declaration.

Our service providers are located and/or use servers in the following countries, for which the European Commission has determined an adequate level of data protection: Canada

Our service providers are based and/or use servers in the US and other countries outside of the EU and EEA. There is no adequacy decision by the European Commission for these countries. Our cooperation with them is based on standard data protection clauses of the European Commission.

1.2 Content Delivery Network

For the purpose of a shorter loading time, we use a so-called Content Delivery Network ("CDN") for some offers. With this service, content, such as large media files, is delivered via regionally distributed servers from external CDN service providers. Access data is therefore processed on the servers of the service providers. Our service providers work for us within the framework of order processing. Our service providers are located and/or use servers in countries outside the EU and EEA. There is no adequacy decision by the European Commission for these countries. Our cooperation with them is based on standard data protection clauses of the European Commission. If you have any questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please use the contact option described in this data protection declaration.

2.1 Data processing for contract execution

We collect personal data if you voluntarily provide it to us as part of your order or when contacting us (e.g. via the contact form or e-mail).

This serves to fulfill the contract in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b GDPR. In some cases, the payment service providers collect the data required to process the payment themselves, e.g. on their own website or via a technical integration in the ordering process. In this respect, the data protection declaration of the respective payment service provider applies.
If you have any questions about our payment processing partners and the basis of our cooperation with them, please use the contact options described in this data protection declaration.

4.2 Data processing for the purpose of fraud prevention and optimizing our payment processes

In accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter f GDPR, this serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in our protection against fraud and in efficient payment management, which are overriding in the context of a balancing of interests.
