Privacy

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 the handling of your data.

Storage of access data in server log files
You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. We only store access data in so-called server log files, such as the name of the requested file, date and time of retrieval, amount of data transferred and the requesting provider. These data are evaluated exclusively to ensure trouble-free operation of the site and to improve our offer and do not allow us to draw any conclusions about your person.

Data collection and use for contract processing and when opening a customer account
We collect personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us as part of your order, when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail) or when opening a customer account. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide to process the contract and handle your inquiries. After complete processing of the contract or deletion of your customer account, 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. Deletion of your customer account is possible at any time and can be done either by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a function provided for this purpose in the customer account.

Data transfer for contract fulfillment
For the fulfillment of 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 order process, we will pass on the payment data collected for this purpose to the credit institution commissioned with the payment and, if applicable, to payment service providers commissioned by us or to the selected payment service. In some cases, the selected payment service providers also collect this data themselves, insofar as you create an account there. 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 shall apply.

Use of data when subscribing to the e-mail newsletter
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we use the data required for this purpose or separately provided by you to regularly send you our e-mail newsletter in accordance with your consent. 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.

Data use for email advertising without newsletter subscription and your right to object
If we receive your e-mail address in connection with the sale of a product or service and you have not objected to this, we reserve the right to regularly send you e-mail offers for similar products to those you have already purchased from our range. You can object to this use of your e-mail address at any time by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a link provided for this purpose in the advertising e-mail, without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates.

Data use for postal advertising and your right to object
Furthermore, we reserve the right to store your first and last name, your postal address and – insofar as we have received this additional information from you within the framework of the contractual relationship – your title, academic degree, year of birth and your profession, industry or business designation in summarized lists and to use them for our own advertising purposes, e.g. to send you interesting offers and information about our products by mail. You can object to the storage and use of your data for these purposes at any time by sending a message to the contact option described below.

Rent / Leasing
When selecting the payment method “Leasing” and granting the necessary consent under data protection law, personal data (first name, last name, address, email, telephone number, date of birth, IP address, gender) together with data required for transaction processing (article, invoice amount, due dates, total amount, invoice number, taxes, currency, order date and order time) are transmitted to our partner Grenkeleasing AG, Neuer Markt 2, 76532 Baden-Baden for the purpose of processing this payment method.

In order to verify the identity or creditworthiness of the customer, our partner carries out queries and obtains information from publicly accessible databases and credit agencies. For the providers from whom information and, if applicable, creditworthiness information is obtained on the basis of mathematical-statistical methods, as well as further details on the processing of your data after transmission to our partner Grenkeleasing AG, please refer to its data protection declaration, which you can find here: http://www.grenkeleasing.de/de/footernavigation/datenschutz.html

The consent to data transfer given in the order process can be revoked at any time, even without giving reasons, with effect for the future.
