Thank you for your interest in our online store. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below you will find detailed information on how we handle your data.

1. access data and hosting

You can visit our website without providing any personal information. Each time a website is accessed, the web server only automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the access. This access data is analyzed exclusively for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offer. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests, which predominate in the context of a balancing of interests, in a correct presentation of our offer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Mandatory fields are marked as such, as in these cases we need the data to process the contract and we cannot send the order without it. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms.

Further information on the processing of your data, in particular on the transfer to our service providers for the purpose of order, payment and shipping processing, can be found in the following sections of this privacy policy.
