Privacy Policy

We appreciate your interest in our website. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below, we provide detailed information on how we handle your data.

Storage of Access Data in Server Log Files

You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. We only store access data in so-called server log files, such as the name of the requested file, date and time of access, transferred data volume, and the requesting provider. These data are used exclusively to ensure the smooth operation of the site and to improve our offering. They do not allow us to draw any conclusions about your person.

Data Collection and Use for Contract Processing and When Opening a Customer Account

We collect personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us as part of your order, when you contact us (e.g., via contact form or email), or when opening a customer account. The data collected can be seen in the respective input forms. We use the data you provide for contract processing and handling your inquiries. After the contract has been fully processed or your customer account has been deleted, your data will be blocked for further use and deleted after the expiry of tax and commercial retention periods, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use your data beyond that, which is legally permitted and about which we inform you below. You can delete your customer account at any time, either by sending a message to the contact option described below or by using the designated function in your customer account.

Data Transfer for Contract Fulfillment

For contract fulfillment, we will pass on your data to the shipping company responsible for delivery, as far as this is necessary for the delivery of ordered goods. Depending on which payment service provider you select in the order process, we will pass on the payment data collected for this purpose to the credit institution commissioned with the payment and, if applicable, to payment service providers commissioned by us, or to the selected payment service. Some of the selected payment service providers may also collect these data themselves, provided you create an account there. In this case, you must log in to the payment service provider with your access data during the ordering process. In this respect, the privacy policy of the respective payment service provider applies.

Use of Data for Email Newsletter Registration

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we will use the necessary or separately provided data to send you our email newsletter regularly in accordance with your consent. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time, either by sending a message to the contact option described below or by using the link provided in the newsletter.

Use of Data for Postal Advertising and Your Right to Object

Furthermore, we reserve the right to store your first and last name, your postal address, and – if we have received this additional information from you in the context of the contractual relationship – your title, academic degree, year of birth, and professional, industry or business designation in summarized lists and to use them for our own advertising purposes, e.g., to send interesting offers and information about our products by mail. You can object to the storage and use of your data for these purposes at any time by sending a message to the contact option described below.

Use of Cookies

To make your visit to our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use cookies on various pages. These are small text files that are stored on your device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted after the end of the browser session, i.e., after you close your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your device and allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit (persistent cookies). You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and decide on their acceptance individually, or to exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general.

Use of Google (Universal) Analytics for Web Analytics

This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (www.google.com).

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The anonymized IP address provided by Google Analytics within the framework of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.
