Cookies
Some websites use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies are designed to make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies." They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.
You can set your browser so that you are informed when cookies are set, allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close the browser. Deactivating cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies that are necessary to carry out electronic communication or to provide certain functions you have requested (e.g. shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your surfing behavior) are stored, these are treated separately in this privacy policy.
The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
- Browser type and version
- operating system used
- Referrer URL (=previously visited page)
- Hostname of the accessing computer
- Date and time of the server request
- IP address
- Name of the retrieved page/file
- amount of data transferred
The provider uses the log data only for statistical evaluations for the purpose of operating, ensuring security, and optimizing the service. However, the provider reserves the right to subsequently review the log data if there is reasonable suspicion of illegal use based on concrete evidence.
This data will not be merged with other data sources.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or for pre-contractual measures.
Contact form
If you contact us via the form, your information from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.
The data entered into the contact form is therefore processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. To do so, simply send us an informal email. The legality of the data processing operations carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions—in particular, retention periods—remain unaffected.
Webshop
For the purpose of contract processing, the following data is stored: name, address. The data you provide is required to fulfill the contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures. Without this data, we cannot conclude the contract with you. Data will only be transferred to third parties where necessary: ??to the transport company/shipping company commissioned by us for the delivery of the goods and to our tax advisor for the fulfillment of our tax obligations. Data will not be transferred to other third parties.
Once you cancel the purchase process, the data stored by us will be deleted. If a contract is concluded, all data from the contractual relationship will be stored until the expiration of the tax retention period (10 years). The data such as name, address, purchased goods, and purchase date will be stored beyond this period until the expiration of the product liability period (maximum 5 years).
