You have the right to have data that we process automatically based on your consent or to fulfill a contract handed over to you or to third parties.

SSL and TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us as the site operator, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. This means that data you transmit through this website cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the "https://" address line of your browser and by the lock symbol in the browser line.

Server Log Files

The provider of the website automatically collects and stores information in server log files that your browser transmits to us. This includes: the visited page on our domain, date and time of the server request, browser type and browser version, the operating system used, the referrer URL, hostname of the accessing computer, and IP address. There is no merging of this data with other data sources. The basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Data Transmission upon Contract Conclusion for Goods Purchase and Shipping

Personal data is only transmitted to third parties if necessary for the processing of the contract. Third parties can include payment service providers or logistics companies. No further transmission of the data takes place unless you have explicitly consented to it.

Our website uses cookies. These are small text files that your web browser stores on your device. Cookies help us make our offerings more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Some cookies are "session cookies." Such cookies are automatically deleted after your browser session ends. Other cookies remain on your device until you delete them yourself. These cookies help us recognize you when you return to our website. With a modern web browser, you can monitor, restrict, or prevent the setting of cookies. Many web browsers can be configured to automatically delete cookies when the program is closed. Disabling cookies may result in limited functionality of our website. The setting of cookies necessary for the operation of electronic communication processes or for providing certain functions desired by you (e.g., shopping cart) is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and smooth provision of our services. If other cookies (e.g., for analysis functions) are set, these will be addressed separately in this privacy policy.

Google Analytics

Our website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider of the web analysis service is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize our web offerings and possibly also advertising.

IP Anonymization

We use Google Analytics in conjunction with the IP anonymization feature. This ensures that Google shortens your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmitting it to the USA. There may be exceptions where Google transmits the full IP address to a server in the USA and shortens it there. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activities, and provide further services related to website usage and internet usage to us. There is no merging of the IP address transmitted by Google Analytics with other data from Google.

Demographic Features in Google Analytics

This data is sourced from interest-based advertising from Google as well as visitor data from third parties. It is not possible to assign the data to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time.
