We also store IP addresses if we have a concrete suspicion of a criminal offense in connection with the use of our website. In addition, we store the date of your last visit as part of your account (e.g. when registering, logging in, clicking links, etc.).
3.3 | Cookies
We use so-called session cookies to optimize our website. A session cookie is a small text file that is sent by the respective servers when you visit a website and is temporarily stored on your hard drive. This file as such contains a so-called session ID, with which various requests of your browser can be assigned to the common session. This allows your computer to be recognized when you return to our website. These cookies are deleted after you close your browser. They are used, for example, to enable you to use the shopping cart function across multiple pages.
To a lesser extent, we also use persistent cookies (also small text files that are stored on your terminal device), which remain on your terminal device and enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit. These cookies are stored on your hard drive and delete themselves after the specified time. Their lifespan is between 1 month and 10 years. This allows us to present our offer to you in a more user-friendly, effective and secure manner and, for example, to display information on the site that is specifically tailored to your interests.

Based on the cookie technology, we only receive pseudonymized information, for example, about which pages of our store were visited, which products were viewed, etc.
You can set your browser so that you are informed in advance about the setting of cookies and can decide on a case-by-case basis whether you want to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, or that cookies are completely prevented. This may limit the functionality of the website.
3.4 | Data for the fulfillment of our contractual obligations
We process personal data that we need to fulfill our contractual obligations, such as name, address, e-mail address, ordered products, billing and payment data. The collection of this data is necessary for the conclusion of the contract.
The deletion of the data takes place after the expiration of warranty periods and legal retention periods. Data linked to a user account (see below) will in any case be retained for the duration of the management of this account.
The legal basis for the processing of this data is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 b) DSGVO, because this data is required so that we can fulfill our contractual obligations to you.
3.5 | User account
You can create a user account on our website. If you wish to do so, we require the personal data requested during login. When logging in later, only your email or user name and the password you have chosen will be required.
For the new registration we collect master data (e.g. name, address), communication data (e.g. email address) and payment data (bank details) as well as access data (username and password).
In order to ensure your proper registration and to prevent unauthorized logins by third parties, you will receive an activation link by e-mail after your registration to activate your account. Only after successful registration do we permanently store the data you have submitted in our system.
Once you have created a user account, you can have it deleted by us at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates. A notification in text form to the contact details mentioned under point 1 (e.g. e-mail, fax, letter) is sufficient for this purpose. We will then delete your stored personal data, unless we still need to store them for the processing of orders or due to statutory retention obligations.
3.6 | Newsletter
To register for the newsletter, the data requested in the registration process is required. The registration for the newsletter is logged. After registration, you will receive a message to the specified email address in which you are asked to confirm the registration („double opt-in“). This is necessary to prevent third parties from registering with your email address.
You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time and thus unsubscribe.
We store the registration data as long as they are needed for sending the newsletter. We store the logging of the registration and the shipping address as long as there was an interest in proving the consent originally given, which is usually the limitation periods for civil claims, thus a maximum of three years.
The legal basis for sending the newsletter is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 a) in conjunction with Art. 7 DSGVO in conjunction with § 7 Para. 2 No. 3 UWG. The legal basis for logging the registration is our legitimate interest in proving that the dispatch was made with your consent.
You can cancel the registration at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the prime rates. A notification in text form to the contact data mentioned under point 1 (e.g. e-mail, fax, letter) is sufficient for this purpose. Of course, you will also find an unsubscribe link in every newsletter.
3.7 | Product recommendations
Independently of the newsletter, we will regularly send you product recommendations by e-mail. In this way, we will send you information about products from our range that you might be interested in based on your last purchases of goods or services from us. In doing so, we strictly comply with the legal requirements. You can object to this at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates. A notification in text form to the contact data mentioned under point 1 (e.g. e-mail, fax, letter) is sufficient for this purpose. Of course, you will also find an unsubscribe link in every e-mail.
The legal basis for this is the legal permission according to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 f) DSGVO in conjunction with § 7 para. 3 UWG.
3.8 | E-mail contact
If you contact us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail), we will process your data to process the request and in the event that follow-up questions arise.
If the data processing is carried out for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, which are carried out on your request, or, if you are already our customer, for the implementation of the contract, the legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 b) DSGVO.
We only process further personal data if you consent to this (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 a) DSGVO) or we have a legitimate interest in processing your data (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 f) DSGVO). A legitimate interest is, for example, to respond to your email.
