Privacy

Unless otherwise stated below, the provision of your personal data is neither required by law or contract, nor necessary for entering into a contract. You are not obliged to provide the data. Non-provision has no consequences. This only applies if no other statement is made in the following processing operations. "Personal data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Server Log Files You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. Each time our website is accessed, usage data is transmitted by your internet browser and stored in log data (server log files). This data includes, for example, the name of the accessed page, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider. This data serves exclusively to ensure the trouble-free operation of our website and to improve our offering. It is not possible to assign this data to a specific person.

Use of Google reCAPTCHA We use the reCAPTCHA service of Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google") on our website. The query serves the purpose of distinguishing whether the input is made by a human or by automated, machine processing. The query includes the transmission of the IP address and possibly other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service. For this purpose, your input will be transmitted to Google and used there. However, Google will shorten your IP address within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCaptcha will not be merged with other data from Google. Your data may also be transmitted to the USA. For data transfers to the USA, there is an adequacy decision by the European Commission, the "Privacy Shield". Google participates in the "Privacy Shield" and has submitted to its requirements. By clicking the query, you consent to the processing of your data. The processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR with your consent. You can revoke your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing that was carried out based on the consent until the revocation.

Collection, Processing, and Use of Personal Data in Orders When placing an order, we collect and use your personal data only to the extent necessary to fulfill and process your order and to handle your inquiries. The provision of data is necessary for the conclusion of the contract. Failure to provide it has the consequence that no contract can be concluded.

The disclosure is for the purpose of informing you by email about the shipping status. The processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR with your consent. You can revoke your consent at any time by notifying us or the transport company, without affecting the lawfulness of the processing based on the consent until the revocation.
