We welcome your interest in our website. The protection of your private sphere is very important to us. Below, we'll inform you in detail about the handling of your data.
We you can visit our websites without providing any information about your identity. We only save access data in so-called server log files, including the name of the file requested, the date and time of the retrieval, the data volume transmitted, and the provider making the request. This data is evaluated exclusively to ensure the problem-free operation of the site and to improve our offering, and it permits no information to be obtained about your identity.
We collect personal data when you disclose it to us voluntarily while placing an order, making contact with us (for example using the contact form or email) or when you open a customer account. The data that will be collected can be seen on the input forms in question. We use the data you provide us to handle contracts and process your requests. After complete fulfilment of the contract or deletion of the customer account, your data will be blocked from further use and will be deleted after the retention period mandated by tax and commercial law, unless you have explicitly consented to further use of your data or if we reserve the right to use the data further in manner that is legally permitted and about which we have informed you. The deletion of your customer account is possible at any time, and can be done either by sending a message to the contact described below, or by using the function provided for this purpose in the customer account.
To fulfil contracts, we disclose this information only to shipping firms assigned with the delivery, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of the goods ordered. For the processing of payments, we will provide the required payment data to the credit institution engaged for the payment, and if necessary to the payment service provider we engaged and/or to the payment service you select during the order process.
When you register for our newsletter, we use the data needed for this purpose or provided specifically by you in order to send you our email newsletter on a regular basis. It is possible at any time to unsubscribe from the newsletter, either by sending a message to the contact described below, or by using the link in the newsletter provided for this purpose.
For making your visit to our website more attractive and to enable the use of specific functions, we use so-called “cookies” on some web pages. These are small text files which are stored on your computer. Most of the cookies that we use are automatically deleted from your hard drive (“session cookies”) after the browser session is finished. The so-called “permanent cookies”, on the other hand, remain on your computer and enable us to recognise you on your next visit. Our partner companies are not permitted to use cookies to collect process or use personal data from our website.
You have the possibility of preventing the storage of cookies on your computer by choosing the right browser settings, although the range of functions on our website may be restricted as a result.
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (www.google.de). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", text files, which are stored on your computer and which enable analysis of your utilisation of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. If IP anonymisation is enabled on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google, but this will take place within the member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the European Economic Area Accords. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and shortened there. IP anonymisation is enabled on this website.

On our website, so-called social plug-ins ("Plugins") from the social network Facebook are used, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook"). The Plugins are labelled with a Facebook logo or the text "Social plug-in by Facebook" or "Facebook Social Plugin". An overview of the Facebook plug-ins and their appearance can be found here: developers.facebook.com/products/social-plugins/

This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a Facebook server in the United States and stored there.
If you are logged into Facebook, Facebook can directly assign your visit to our website to your Facebook profile. When you interact with the Plugins, for example by clicking the "Like" button or submitting a comment, this information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. The information is also published on your Facebook profile and displayed to your Facebook friends.
