Privacy policy

Thank you for your interest in our website. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below we inform you in detail about how we handle your data.

Data collection and use for contract processing

We collect personal data if you voluntarily provide it to us as part of your order or when you contact us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail). Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide to fulfil the contract and process your enquiries. Once the contract has been fully processed, your data will be blocked for further use 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 below.

Data transfer for contract fulfilment

In order to fulfil 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. Depending on which payment service provider you select in the ordering process, we will pass on the payment data collected for this purpose to the credit institution commissioned with the payment and, if applicable, to the payment service provider commissioned by us or to the selected payment service in order to process payments. In some cases, the selected payment service providers also collect this data themselves if you create an account with them. In this case, you must log in to the payment service provider with your access data during the ordering process. In this respect, the privacy policy of the respective payment service provider applies.

Use of data when registering for the e-mail newsletter

If you register for our newsletter, we will use the data required for this or separately provided by you to regularly send you our e-mail newsletter in accordance with your consent. If we use a third-party provider to create and send the newsletter, your e-mail address will be transmitted to our account with this third-party provider exclusively for this purpose. Unsubscribing from the newsletter is possible at any time and can be done either by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a link provided for this purpose in the newsletter.

The use of Instagram social plugins:

On our website, so-called social plugins (“plugins”) from Instagram are used, which are operated by Instagram LLC, 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA (“Instagram”). The plugins are marked with an Instagram logo, for example, in the form of an “Instagram camera.” An overview of the Instagram plugins and their appearance can be found here: https://blog.instagram.com/post/36222022872/introducing-instagram-badges.

When you access a page on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to Instagram’s servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly to your browser by Instagram and integrated into the page. By integrating the plugin, Instagram receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have an Instagram profile or are not currently logged into Instagram. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to a server of Instagram in the USA and stored there. If you are logged into Instagram, Instagram can directly associate the visit to our website with your Instagram account. If you interact with the plugins, for example, by pressing the “Instagram” button, this information is also transmitted directly to a server of Instagram and stored there. The information is also published on your Instagram account and displayed to your contacts.

The purpose and scope of data collection, as well as the further processing and use of the data by Instagram, and your related rights and privacy settings, can be found in Instagram’s privacy policy: https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388/.
