The hosting services that we use serve to make the following services available: infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, security services and technical maintenance services that we use for the purpose of operating the website.

When using these services, we, or our hosting provider, process master data, contact details, c ontent data, contract data, meta and communication data from customers, interested parties and visitors to this website based on our legitimate interested in the efficient and secure provision of this website pursuant to Art. 6 paragraph 1(f) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 28 GDPR.

2.2.) Access data

We collect information about you when you use this website. We automatically record information on your usage behaviour and interaction with us, as well as registered data concerning your computer or mobile device. We collect, store and use data on every visit to our website (so-called server log files). These access data include:

  • Time and date of access

  • Data volume transmitted

  • Notification of successful access (HTTP response code)

  • Browser type and browser version

  • Operating system

  • Referrer URL (of the page visited before accessing our website)

  • IP address and provider requesting access

We use these protocol data without assigning them to your identity or creating any other profile for statistical evaluations that support the operation, security and optimisation of our website, as well as for anonymously recording the number of visitors to our website (traffic) and the nature and scope of usage of our website and services and for accounting purposes to measure the number of clicks generated by our cooperation partners. Based on this information, we are able to provide personalised and location-based content and to analyse data traffic, search for and rectify errors and improve our services.

These purposes also represent our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 paragraph 1(f) GDPR.

We reserve the right to check the protocol data at a later point in time if concrete indications justify suspicion of unlawful use of the website.

If you have cancelled an order process or after we have received your payment, we will erase your IP address if it is no longer required for security purposes. We also store IP addresses in the event of concrete suspicion of a criminal offence in connection with the use of our website. We additionally save the data of your last visit (e.g. when registering, logging in, clicking on links, etc.) as part of your account.

2.3.) Cookies

We use so-called session cookies to optimise our website. A session cookie is a small text file that is sent by the respective services when you visit a website and is then stored temporarily on your hard drive. This specific file contains a so-called session ID that enables the different requests made by your browser to be allocated to the shared session. As a result, your computer can be recognised when you return to our website. These cookies are deleted once you have closed your browser. They are used, for example, to allow you to access several different pages after logging in.

We additionally use persistent cookies (also small text files that are stored on your device) to a limited extent. These cookies remain on your device and enable us to recognise your browser the next time you visit our website. These cookies are stored on your hard drive and erase themselves after the period of time specified, which can vary from 1 month to 10 years. Using these cookies enables us to present our website in a safer, more user-friendly and more effective way, for example to show you information specially tailored to meet your interests on the website.

The aim of making our website safer, more user-friendly and more effective constitutes our legitimate interest in using cookies pursuant to Art. 6 paragraph 1(f) GDPR.

The following data and information are stored in the cookies:

  • Login information

  • Language settings

  • Search terms entered

  • Information on the number of times you access our website and use individual functions of our website.

When the cookie is activated, it is allocated an identification number. Your personal data are not assigned to this identification number. Your name, IP address or similar data that would enable the cookie to be assigned to your identity are not stored in the cookie. Using the cookie technology only provides us with pseudonymised data, for example concerning which pages of our shop were visited, which products were viewed, etc.

You can change your browser settings so that you are informed about the installation of cookies in advance and can then decide whether to accept cookies in specific cases or in general or to completely reject all cookies. This may, however, limit the functionality of the website.

If you contact us (e.g. via our contact form or e-mail), we store your data to process your enquiry and in case any subsequent questions arise.

These purposes also represent our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 paragraph 1(f) GDPR.

We only store and use further personal data if you grant us your consent to do so or if this is legally permitted without special consent.

2.5.) Analysis & tracking (e.g. using Google Analytics or Matomo)

We make every effort to ensure the security of your data in accordance with applicable data protection laws and technical means.

We encrypt your personal data before transmitting them. This applies to both your orders and customer login details. Although we use the encryption system SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), please note that data transfers on the Internet (e.g. via e-mail communication) may involve security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against third-party access is not possible.

We ensure the security of your data by using technical and organisational measures pursuant to Art. 32 GDPR. We consistently update these measures to use the best available technology.

Furthermore, we do not guarantee that our website is available at specific times; disturbances, interruptions or downtime cannot be excluded. The servers that we use are carefully backed up on a regular basis.

 

6.) Transmission of data to third parties, no data transfer to non-EU states

We generally only use your personal data within our company.

If, and insofar as, we consult third parties (such as logistics service providers) within the context of executing contracts, these third parties only receive data to the extent that data transfer is required for the corresponding service.

If we outsource certain aspects of data processing (commissioned data processing), we ensure that the processor contractually commits to only use personal data in accordance with the requirements of data protection laws and to guarantee the protection of the rights of the data subject.

The transfer of data to organisations or individuals outside the EU, other than in the cases specified in section 2 of this Privacy Policy, does not take place and is not planned.
