Thank you for your interest in our online shop. Protecting your privacy is very important to us. Below, we provide detailed information about how we handle your data.

1. Access data and hosting

You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. Each time a web page is accessed, the web server automatically stores a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, 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 evaluated solely for the purpose of ensuring the smooth operation of the site and improving our offer. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our offer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, which prevail in the context of a balancing of interests. All access data is only processed for as long as is necessary to achieve the above-mentioned processing purposes.

The services for hosting and displaying the website are partly provided by our service providers as part of processing on our behalf. Unless otherwise stated in this privacy policy, all access data and all data collected in the forms provided on this website are processed on their servers. If you have any questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please contact us using the contact details provided in this privacy policy.

Our service providers are based in and/or use servers in the following countries, for which the European Commission has determined an adequate level of data protection by decision: Israel, United Kingdom, USA.

The adequacy decision for the USA serves as the basis for third-country transfers, provided that the respective service provider is certified. Certification has been granted.

Our service providers are based in and/or use servers in the following countries: Brazil, Mexico, India, Ukraine.
There is no adequacy decision by the European Commission for these countries. Our cooperation with you is based on these guarantees: Standard data protection clauses of the European Union.

2. Data processing for contract execution and establishing contact

2.1 Data processing for contract execution

For the purpose of contract processing (including enquiries about and processing of any existing warranty and service disruption claims as well as any statutory update obligations) in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, we collect personal data if you voluntarily provide it to us in the context of your order. Mandatory fields are marked as such, as we require this data for contract processing and cannot ship the order without it. The data that is collected can be seen in the respective input forms.

Further information on the processing of your data, in particular on the transfer to our service providers for the purpose of order, payment and shipping processing, can be found in the following sections of this privacy policy. After complete fulfilment of the contract, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after expiry of the tax and commercial law retention periods in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or we reserve the right to use your data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this statement.

2.2 Customer account
If you have given your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR by deciding to open a customer account, we will use your data for the purpose of opening a customer account and storing your data for future orders on our website.

In some cases, the payment service providers collect the data necessary for processing the payment themselves, e.g. on their own website or via a technical integration in the ordering process. In this respect, the data protection declaration of the respective payment service provider applies.

We use the Usercentrics consent management platform (‘Usercentrics’) on our website to inform you about the cookies and other technologies we use on our website and to obtain, manage and document your consent, where required by law, to the processing of your personal data by these technologies. This is necessary in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR in order to fulfil our legal obligation under Art. 7 (1) GDPR to be able to prove your consent to the processing of your personal data, to which we are subject.

6.3 Information on third-country transfers (data transfers to third countries)
We use technologies from service providers on our website whose headquarters and/or server locations may be in third countries outside the EU or the EEA. If there is no adequacy decision by the EU Commission for this country, an adequate level of data protection must be ensured by means of other suitable safeguards.

Suitable safeguards in the form of contractually agreed standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission or binding internal data protection regulations (Binding Corporate Rules) are possible in principle, but require prior review by the contracting parties to ensure that an adequate level of protection can be guaranteed. According to the case law of the ECJ, it may be necessary to take additional protective measures in this regard.
 
We have agreed the standard data protection clauses issued by the EU Commission with the technology providers we use who process personal data in a third country. Where possible, we also agree additional safeguards to ensure that adequate data protection is guaranteed in third countries without an adequacy decision. 

Notwithstanding this, it may happen that, despite all contractual and technical measures, the level of data protection in the third country does not correspond to that of the EU. In such cases, we ask for your consent, if necessary, within the framework of cookie consent, in accordance with Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR, to transfer your personal data to a third country.
In particular, there is a risk that local authorities in the third country may not have sufficiently restricted access rights to your personal data from a European data protection perspective, that we as the data exporter or you as the data subject may not be aware of this, and/or that you may not have sufficient legal remedies available to prevent this and/or take action against such access. 

In particular, the following countries are currently among the third countries without an adequacy decision by the EU Commission (examples): China 

Russia , Taiwan 

You can find out to which third countries we transfer data in the data protection information for the respective tool used and/or the consent management service/Consent Manager Platform (CMP) used by us. 

7. Use of cookies and other technologies
We use the following cookies and other third-party technologies on our website. Unless otherwise specified for the individual technologies, this is done on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Once the purpose has ceased to apply and we have stopped using the respective technology, the data collected in this context will be deleted. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. Further information on your revocation options can be found in the section ‘Cookies and other technologies’. Further information, including the basis of our cooperation with the individual providers, can be found under the individual technologies.
