Data protection
Thank you for your interest in our website. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory provisions. Below you will find detailed information on how we handle your data.
SSL encryption
This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the requests you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Access data and storage in server log files
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, 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 and does not allow us to draw any conclusions about your person.
Data collection and use for contract processing
We collect personal data if you voluntarily provide it to us in the context of your order, when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail) or when opening a customer account. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide to process the contract and your inquiries. After completion of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be blocked for further processing and deleted after expiry of the retention periods under tax and commercial law, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration. Deletion of your customer account is possible at any time and can be done either by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a function provided for this purpose in the customer account.
Data transfer
In order to fulfill the contract, we pass on your data to the shipping company commissioned with the delivery, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of ordered goods. In order to process payments, we pass on the necessary payment data to the credit institution commissioned with the payment and, if applicable, to the payment service provider commissioned by us or to the payment service selected by you during the ordering process.
Data transfer to shipping service providers
If you have given us your express consent to this during or after your order, we will process your personal data on the basis of this consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR, we will forward your e-mail address and telephone number to the selected shipping service provider so that they can contact you before delivery for the purpose of delivery notification or coordination.
Consent can be revoked at any time by sending us a message. After revocation, we will delete your data provided for this purpose, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.
E-mail newsletters and postal advertising
Email advertising without subscribing to the newsletter and your right to object
If we receive your e-mail address in connection with the sale of a product or service and you have not objected to this, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for similar products to those you have already purchased from our range by e-mail. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests, which predominate in the context of a weighing up of interests, in an advertising approach to our customers.
You can object to this use of your e-mail address at any time by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a link provided for this purpose in the advertising e-mail, without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates.
Postal advertising and your right to object
In addition, we reserve the right to use your first and last name, professional, industry or business name and your postal address for our own advertising purposes, e.g. to send you interesting offers and information about our products by post. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests, which predominate in the context of a weighing up of interests, in an advertising approach to our customers.
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.
Data protection for applications and in the application process
The data controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing can also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits relevant application documents to the controller by electronic means, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, unless deletion conflicts with any other legitimate interests of the controller. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
