For this purpose, we or our hosting provider process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, meta and communication data of customers, interested parties and visitors of this website on the basis of our legitimate interests in an efficient and secure provision of our website in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 f) DSGVO in conjunction with Art. 28 DSGVO.

3.2 Access data

We collect information about you when you use this website. We automatically collect information about your usage pattern and your interaction with us and register data about your computer or mobile device. We collect, store and use data about every access to our website (so-called server log files). These access data include:

- Name and URL of the accessed file
- Date and time of retrieval

- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Referer URL (i.e. the previously visited page)
- Websites that are called up by the user's system via our website
- Internet service provider of the user
- IP address and the requesting provider

We use this log data without allocation to your person or other profiling for statistical evaluations for the purpose of operating, security and optimisation of our website, but also for anonymous recording of the number of visitors to our website (traffic) and the extent and type of use of our website and services, as well as for billing purposes to measure the number of clicks received from cooperation partners. Based on this information, we can provide personalized and location-based content and analyze traffic, troubleshoot and correct errors and improve our services. This is also our legitimate interest according to Art 6 Paragraph 1 S. 1 f) DSGVO. We reserve the right to check the log data retrospectively if there is a justified suspicion of unlawful use based on concrete evidence. We store IP addresses in the log files for a limited period of time if this is necessary for security purposes or if it is necessary for the provision of a service or the invoicing of a service, e.g. if you use one of our offers. After cancellation of the order process or after receipt of payment, we delete the IP address if it is no longer required for security purposes. We also store IP addresses if we have a concrete suspicion of a criminal offence in connection with the use of our website. We also save the date of your last visit (e.g. when registering, logging in, clicking on links, etc.) as part of your account.

3.3 Cookies

We use so-called session cookies to optimize our website. A session cookie is a small text file that is sent by the respective servers when you visit a website and is temporarily stored on your hard drive. This file as such contains a so-called session ID with which various requests from your browser can be assigned to the shared session. This enables your computer to be recognised when you return to our website. These cookies are deleted after you close your browser. They serve, for example, to enable you to use the shopping basket function over several pages. We also use persistent cookies (also small text files that are stored on your terminal device) to a small extent, which remain on your terminal device and enable us to recognise your browser on your next visit. These cookies are stored on your hard drive and delete themselves after the specified time. Their lifetime is between 1 month and 10 years. This enables us to present our offer to you in a more user-friendly, effective and secure manner and, for example, to display information on the site that is specially tailored to your interests. Our legitimate interest in the use of cookies in accordance with Art 6 Paragraph 1 S. 1 f) DSGVO is to make our website more user-friendly, more effective and safer. The following data and information are stored in the cookies:

On the basis of cookie technology, we only receive pseudonymised information, for example about which pages of our shop were visited, which products were viewed, etc. You can set up your browser so that you are informed in advance about the setting of cookies and can decide in each individual case whether you want to exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, or whether cookies should be prevented completely.

3.4 Data for the fulfilment of our contractual obligations

We process personal data that we require to fulfil our contractual obligations, such as name, address, e-mail address, products ordered, invoice and payment data. The collection of these data is necessary for the conclusion of the contract. The data will be deleted after expiry of the warranty periods and statutory retention periods. Data that is linked to a user account (see below) is retained in any case for the period of time that this account is maintained. The legal basis for the processing of this data is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 b) DSGVO, because this data is required to enable us to fulfil our contractual obligations towards you.

3.5 User account

You can create a user account on our website. If you wish to do so, we need the personal data requested during login. When you log in later, only your email or user name and the password you have chosen are required. For the new registration we collect master data (e.g. name, address), communication data (e.g. e-mail address) and payment data (bank details) as well as access data (user name and password). You can have a user account, once created, deleted by us at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates. A notification in text form to the contact data mentioned under point 1 (e.g. e-mail, fax, letter) is sufficient for this purpose. We will then delete your stored personal data, unless we still need to store them for the processing of orders or due to statutory storage obligations. The legal basis for the processing of this data is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 a) DSGVO.

3.6 Newsletter

To register for the newsletter, the data requested in the registration process is required. The registration for the newsletter is logged. You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time and thus cancel the newsletter. We store the registration data as long as they are needed for the dispatch of the newsletter. We store the registration protocol and the shipping address as long as there was an interest in the proof of the originally given consent, usually the limitation periods for civil law claims, therefore a maximum of three years. The legal basis for the dispatch of the newsletter is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 a) in conjunction with Art. 7 DSGVO in conjunction with § 7 para. 2 no. 3 UWG. The legal basis for the logging of the registration is our legitimate interest in proof that the dispatch was carried out with your consent. You can cancel the registration at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic tariffs. A notification in text form to the contact data mentioned under point 1 (e.g. e-mail, fax, letter) is sufficient for this purpose. Of course, you will also find an unsubscribe link in every newsletter.

3.7 Product recommendations

Independent of the newsletter, we will send you regular product recommendations by e-mail. In this way, we send you information about products from our range of products in which you may be interested based on your most recent purchases of goods or services from us. In doing so, we comply strictly with the legal requirements. You can object to this at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic tariffs. A notification in text form to the contact data mentioned under point 1 (e.g. e-mail, fax, letter) is sufficient for this purpose. Of course, you will also find an unsubscribe link in every e-mail. The legal basis for this is the legal permission according to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 f) DSGVO in conjunction with § 7 para. 3 UWG.

3.8 E-Mail Contact

If you contact us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail), we will process your data to process the enquiry and, in the event, that follow-up questions arise. If the data processing is carried out to carry out pre-contractual measures which are carried out in response to your enquiry, or, if you are already our customer, to carry out the contract, the legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 b) DSGVO. We only process other personal data if you give your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 a) DSGVO) or if we have a legitimate interest in processing your data (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1f) DSGVO). A legitimate interest lies, for example, in replying to your e-mail.

4 Storage period

Unless specifically stated, we only store personal data for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the intended purposes. In some cases, the law provides for the retention of personal data, for example in tax or commercial law. In these cases, we will only continue to store the data for these legal purposes, but will not process it in any other way and delete it after the legal retention period has expired.

5.6 Right of objection

You have the right to object to the lawful processing of your personal data by us if this is justified by your particular situation and our interests in the processing do not prevail. In detail: You have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of personal data relating to you that is carried out on the basis of Art. 6, para. 1, sentence 1 e) or f) DSGVO; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

6 Data security

We make every effort to ensure the security of your data within the framework of the applicable data protection laws and technical possibilities. Your personal data will be transmitted encrypted. This applies to your orders and also to the customer login. We use the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) coding system, but we would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible. To protect your data, we maintain technical and organisational security measures in accordance with Art. 32 DSGVO, which we continually adapt to the state of the art. We also do not guarantee that our offer is available at certain times; disturbances, interruptions or failures cannot be excluded. The servers used by us are regularly and carefully secured.

7 Transfer of data to third parties, no data transfer to non-EU countries

As a matter of principle, we only use your personal data within our company. If and to the extent that we involve third parties in the fulfilment of contracts (e.g. logistics service providers), they will only receive personal data to the extent that the transmission is necessary for the corresponding service. In the event that we outsource certain parts of the data processing ("contract processing"), we contractually oblige contract processors to use personal data only in accordance with the requirements of the data protection laws and to ensure the protection of the rights of the data subject. Data transmission to bodies or persons outside the EU outside the case mentioned in this declaration in section 4 does not take place and is not planned.
