    We appreciate 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 website without providing any personal information. Each time you access a website, the web server automatically saves 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 trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offering. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our offering, which prevail within the framework of a balancing of interests, in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
     All access data will be deleted no later than seven days after your visit to the site.
    Hosting
     The services for hosting and displaying the website are partially 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 forms provided for this purpose on this website are processed on their servers. If you have any questions about our service providers and the basis of our collaboration with them, please contact them using the contact details described in this privacy policy.
    Our service providers are located and/or use servers in the following countries for which the European Commission has determined an adequate level of data protection: Canada, New Zealand, Japan, United Kingdom, USA.  The adequacy decision for the USA applies as the basis for third-country transfers, provided the respective service provider is certified. Until our service providers are certified, data transfers continue to be based on this basis: the European Commission's standard data protection clauses. Our service providers are located and/or use servers in these countries: Australia, India, and Singapore. There is no adequacy decision from the European Commission for these countries. Our cooperation with them is based on these guarantees: the European Commission's standard data protection clauses.

Where necessary, data may be transferred to third countries (in particular to the United States).
The legal bases are Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR (performance of contract/order), Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR (operation/optimization), and – where applicable – Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR (consent).

    For the purpose of contract processing (including inquiries regarding and processing of any existing warranty and performance claims, as well as any statutory update obligations) in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, we collect personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us as part of your order. Mandatory fields are marked as such, as in these cases we absolutely need the data to process the contract, and without it we cannot ship the order. The data collected is evident from 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 the contract has been fully processed, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after expiry of the retention periods under tax and commercial law in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (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 the data in any other way that is permitted by law and about which we will inform you in this policy.

Mandatory fields are marked as such, since in these cases we absolutely need the data to process your contact. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. Once your inquiry has been fully processed, your data will be deleted 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 the data in any other way that is permitted by law and about which we will inform you in this declaration.
