2. What data do we need from you to use our websites? What data is collected and stored during use?

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”), such as your name, address, telephone number, date of birth, bank details and IP address.

As a matter of principle, we collect and use personal data of our users only insofar as this is necessary for the provision of a functional website as well as our contents and services. The collection and use of our users’ personal data regularly only takes place with the user’s consent. An exception applies in cases where it is not possible to obtain prior consent for actual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations.

Usage data
When using our websites, the following data is logged, whereby the storage serves exclusively internal system-related and statistical purposes, so-called usage data:

Information about the browser type and version used
The operating system of the user
The user’s internet service provider
The IP address of the user
Date and time of access
Websites from which the user’s system accesses our website
Websites that are accessed by the user’s system via our website
The log files contain IP addresses or other data that enable an assignment to a user. This could be the case, for example, if the link to the website from which the user arrives at the website or the link to the website to which the user goes contains personal data.

The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

The storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.

These purposes are also our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO. In no case do we use the collected data for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person.

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.

In the case of storage of data in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility for the user to object.

In addition, we use cookies and analysis services when you visit our website. You can find more information on this under point 5 of this data protection declaration.

Contact
You can contact us via the e‑mail address provided. In this case, the user’s personal data transmitted with the e‑mail will be stored.

We will only use your data to process your request and may contact you for this purpose using the contact details provided. This data will not be used for advertising purposes or passed on to third parties.

Data processing for registration is based on your voluntary consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DS-GVO.

The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an e‑mail is Art. 6 (1) lit. f DS-GVO. If the e‑mail contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DS-GVO.

The processing of the personal data of your e‑mail sent to us is solely for the purpose of processing the contact. This also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data.

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For personal data sent by e‑mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when the circumstances indicate that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.

The user has the option to revoke his consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by e‑mail, he or she can object to the storage of his or her personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.

All personal data stored in the course of contacting us will be deleted in this case.

3. How will my data be used and, if applicable, passed on to third parties and for what purpose?

We use the personal data you provide to answer your enquiries, to process your order in our online shop and for the purpose of advice from our sales representatives and to contact you electronically. We only use your data to check your creditworthiness if we make advance payments when you place an order, e.g. when you place an order on account. (A general credit check without the consent of the person concerned would not be permissible! Your interest in information about the creditworthiness of a buyer would only take precedence if you make advance payments).

Your personal data will only be passed on, sold or otherwise transferred to third parties if the transfer is necessary for the purpose of processing the contract or for billing purposes or for collecting the payment in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit b DS-GVO or if you have expressly consented in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit a DS-GVO. In addition, we are entitled under Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit b DS-GVO to pass on personal data for debt collection purposes and reserve the right to exchange data with industry protection organisations (e.g. Schufa); this, of course, only if the legal requirements for this are met.

Disclosure in cases ordered by law
We would like to point out that, by order of the competent authority, we are entitled in individual cases pursuant to Art. 6 (1) p. lit.c DS-GVO to provide information on data insofar as this is necessary for the purposes of criminal prosecution, for the prevention of danger by the police authorities of the Länder, for the fulfilment of the statutory tasks of the federal and Länder authorities for the protection of the constitution, the Federal Intelligence Service or the Military Counter-Intelligence Service or for the enforcement of intellectual property rights.

4. What security measures have we taken to protect your data?

We have taken a variety of security measures to protect personal information to the appropriate extent and adequately.

Our databases are protected by physical, technical and procedural measures that limit access to the information to specifically authorised persons in accordance with this privacy policy. Our information system is behind a software firewall to prevent access from other networks that connect to the Internet. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific task are granted access to personal information. Our employees are trained in security and privacy practices.

In the case of communication by e‑mail, we cannot guarantee complete data security.
