What is personal data?
Personal data is information about you that allows identification. This includes, for example, your last name, first name, address, and email address. In some cases, we require your name and address, as well as other information, in order to offer you the desired items or services. We only store the data that you have transmitted to us automatically or voluntarily.
How is personal data processed?
At some points on our website, we offer you the opportunity to contact us or use certain services. We only store the personal data transmitted in this way for the purpose for which it was provided to us, such as to process your inquiry or to answer any questions you may have.
What data is requested?
If the website offers the option to enter personal or business data (email addresses, names, addresses), the user provides this data on an expressly voluntary basis. The use of all offered services is permitted - as far as technically possible and reasonable - without providing such data or by providing anonymized data or a pseudonym. By correctly providing the optional data, you enable us to provide you with personal and individual support.
SSL Encryption

Payments when ordering
When using the PayPal payment method, data will be transmitted to the payment service provider PayPal. The payment service provider is responsible for payment data. Information, in particular about the responsible body of the respective payment service provider, the contact details of the payment service provider's data protection officer, and the categories of personal data processed by the payment service provider, can be found at the following address: PayPal Privacy Policy: https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full?locale.x=de_DE.

DATA PROTECTION PROVISIONS RELATING TO KLARNA AS A PAYMENT METHOD The controller has integrated Klarna components on this website. Klarna is an online payment service provider that enables purchase on account or flexible installment payments. Furthermore, Klarna offers additional services, such as buyer protection or identity and credit checks. Klarna's operating company is Klarna AB, Sveavågen 46, 111 34 Stockholm, Sweden. If the data subject selects either "purchase on account" or "installment purchase" as a payment option during the ordering process in our online shop, the data subject's data will be automatically transmitted to Klarna. By selecting one of these payment options, the data subject consents to the transmission of personal data required to process the purchase on account or instalment, or for identity and credit checks. The personal data transmitted to Klarna generally includes first name, last name, address, date of birth, gender, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number, and other data necessary to process a purchase on account or instalment. Personal data related to the respective order is also necessary to process the purchase contract. In particular, this may involve a mutual exchange of payment information, such as bank details, card number, expiration date, and CVC code, number of items, item number, data on goods and services, prices and taxes, information on previous purchasing behavior, or other information on the financial situation of the data subject. The purpose of transferring data is, in particular, identity verification, payment administration, and fraud prevention. The controller will transfer personal data to Klarna, in particular if there is a legitimate interest in the transfer. The personal data exchanged between Klarna and the controller will be transferred by Klarna to credit reporting agencies. This transfer is for the purpose of identity and credit checks. Klarna also transfers personal data to affiliated companies (Klarna Group) and service providers or subcontractors, insofar as this is necessary to fulfill contractual obligations or if the data is to be processed on their behalf. To decide on the establishment, implementation, or termination of a contractual relationship, Klarna collects and uses data and information about the data subject's previous payment behavior as well as probability values for their future behavior (so-called scoring). The scoring is calculated based on scientifically recognized mathematical and statistical procedures. The data subject has the option of revoking their consent to the handling of personal data by Klarna at any time. A revocation does not affect personal data that must be processed, used, or transmitted for (contractual) payment processing. Klarna's applicable data protection provisions can be found at https://cdn.klarna.com/1.0/shared/content/policy/data/de_de/data_protection.pdf.
DATA PROTECTION PROVISIONS RELATING TO SOFORT TRANSFER AS A PAYMENT METHOD The controller has integrated components of Sofortüberweisung on this website. Sofortüberweisung is a payment service that enables cashless payment for products and services online. Sofortüberweisung represents a technical process through which the online merchant receives immediate payment confirmation. This enables a merchant to deliver goods, services, or downloads to the customer immediately after the order. The operating company of Sofortüberweisung is SOFORT GmbH, Fußbergstrasse 1, 82131 Gauting, Germany. If the data subject selects "Sofortüberweisung" as a payment option during the ordering process in our online shop, the data subject's data will be automatically transmitted to Sofortüberweisung. By selecting this payment option, the data subject consents to the transmission of personal data required for payment processing. When completing a purchase via Sofortüberweisung, the buyer transmits the PIN and TAN to Sofort GmbH. Sofortüberweisung then carries out a transfer to the online retailer after a technical check of the account balance and retrieving further data to verify the account balance. The online merchant is then automatically notified of the completion of the financial transaction. The personal data exchanged with Sofortüberweisung includes first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number, or other data necessary for payment processing. The purpose of transmitting the data is payment processing and fraud prevention. The controller will also transmit other personal data to Sofortüberweisung if there is a legitimate interest in doing so. The personal data exchanged between Sofortüberweisung and the controller may, under certain circumstances, be transmitted by Sofortüberweisung to credit reporting agencies. This transfer is for identity and credit checks. Sofortüberweisung may share personal data with affiliated companies, service providers, or subcontractors if necessary to fulfill contractual obligations or if the data is to be processed on their behalf. The data subject has the option of revoking their consent to the handling of personal data at any time. Revoking consent does not affect personal data that must be processed, used, or transmitted for (contractual) payment processing. Sofortüberweisung's applicable privacy policy can be found at https://www.sofort.com/ger-DE/datenschutzerklaerung-sofort-gmbh/.
Do you share my data with third parties?

You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with future effect. Personal data will only be collected and transmitted to authorized government institutions and authorities within the framework of the relevant laws or if we are required to do so by court order. All employees and service providers have been obligated to maintain confidentiality and to comply with data protection regulations.

If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, such as in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as to fulfill tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR.
In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and their name, age, health insurance data, or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third parties. In this case, the processing would be based on Art. 6 (1) (d) GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases, if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not override such interests. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, the legislator took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, Sentence 2 GDPR).
