We appreciate your interest in our website.
Protecting your privacy is very important to us. Below you can find detailed
information about the handling of your data.
1. ACCESS DATA AND HOSTING You can visit our website without giving any
personal information. Each time a web page is called up, the web server
merely automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains, for
example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, date and time of
the retrieval, transferred data volume and the requesting provider (access
data) and documents the retrieval. These access data are evaluated
exclusively for the purpose of ensuring that the site operates smoothly, and
to help us improve our offer. This serves to safeguard our legitimate
interests, which predominate in the context of a weighing up of interests,
in a correct presentation of our offer, cf. Art.6 para.1f) GDPR. All access
data will be deleted no later than seven days after the end of your page
visit. Hosting services by a third party A third party provider renders the
services for hosting and displaying the website within the framework of
processing data on our behalf. This serves to safeguard our legitimate
interests, which predominate in the context of a weighing up of interests,
in a correct presentation of our offer, cf. Art.6 para.1f) GDPR. All data
collected as part of the use of this website or in the forms provided in the
online shop as described below will be processed on its servers. Processing
on other servers only takes place in the framework explained here. This
service provider is located in a country outside the European Union, for
which the European Commission has decided to set an appropriate level of
data protection.
2. DATA COLLECTION AND USE WHEN SENDING A PROSPECTIVE REQUEST Personal data is only collected if the information is being provided voluntarily in connection with an inquiry directed at the respective advertiser. We only use your data to enable us to provide you with the desired services; this means that we only store and process information and data, which are absolutely necessary for forwarding your inquiry, together with the data provided by you, to the advertiser or to implement the contractual relationship. The data recorded via the contact form is stored in the user account for a period of 12 months and then erased. This serves the purpose of protecting our overriding legitimate interest (based on a weighing of interests) in enabling subsequent communication on our platform. We use a spam filter to guard against automatically generated spam inquiries. The filter analyses all submitted inquiries using specific criteria in order to automatically block undesirable messages such as adverts. No data will be transmitted to third parties for this purpose and only data submitted by the data subject will be processed. If you contact us without opening a customer account, your data will be deleted from our customer database, if you so desire.
3. DATA COLLECTION AND USE FOR CONTRACT PROCESSING AND OPENING A CUSTOMER ACCOUNT We collect personal data if 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. Obligatory fields are marked as such, since in these cases we need the data for contract execution (see Art.6(1)(b) GDPR), or to process your contact or open the customer account, and you cannot complete the order and/or or open the account, or cannot send the contact without providing this data. The data collected is shown in the respective input forms. We use the information you provided to process the contract and handle your inquiries. After completion of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after expiry of the tax and commercial retention periods, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to further data use, which is legally permitted and about which we inform you in this statement. The deletion of your customer account is possible at any time and can be done either by a message to the contact option listed below or via a designated function in the customer account. Concealing potential customer data in the user account We also reserve the right to provisionally conceal individual contact details of interested parties in the user account insofar as we are entitled to outstanding payment claims against the respective customer. This serves the purpose of protecting our overriding legitimate interest (based on a weighing of interests) in effective enforcement of our payment claim in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
4. USE OF DATA FOR THE PURPOSES OF PREVENTING MISUSE We may also check, by means of a comparison, messages recorded during the use of our communication channels for any existing advertising content that violates our GTC or applicable laws, particularly if the respective message is directed at consumers. Such messages will not be forwarded to the recipient. This serves the purpose, pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, of protecting our overriding legitimate interest in the prevention of misuse or unlawful use of our platform.
5. DATA TRANSFER Depending on which payment service provider you select in the order process, we will forward the payment data collected to the credit institution commissioned with the payment and any payment service providers commissioned by us to process the payments or to the selected payment service. To some extent, the selected payment service providers also collect data by themselves, as long as you open an account with them. In such a case, you have to 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 applies. We use payment service providers based in a state outside the European Union. The transfer of personal data to this company takes place only in the context of the need to fulfil the contract.
6. EMAIL NEWSLETTER AND POSTAL ADVERTISING E-Mail advertising with
subscription to the newsletter If you subscribe to our newsletter, we will use
the data required or separately provided by you to regularly send you our e-mail
newsletter based on your consent (see Art.6(1)(a) GDPR). It is possible to
unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time and this can be done either by a
message to the contact option listed below or via a dedicated link in the
newsletter. After unsubscribing, we will delete your e-mail address, unless you
have expressly consented to a further use of your data or we reserve the right
to further data use, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in
this statement. E-mail advertising without registration for the newsletter 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 send you regular offers for similar products, such as those already
purchased from our range by e-mail. This serves to safeguard our legitimate
interests, which predominate in the context of a weighing up of interests, in a
promotional address to our customers. You may object to the use of your e-mail
address at any time by sending a message to the contact option described below
or through a dedicated link in the e-mail, without incurring any costs other
than the transmission costs according to the basic tariffs. Postal advertising
and your right to object In addition, we reserve the right to use your first and
last name as well as your postal address for our own advertising purposes, e.g.
to send interesting offers and information about our products by post. This
serves to safeguard our legitimate interests, which predominate in the context
of a weighing up of interests in accordance with Art.6(1)(f) of the German
Consumer Protection Act (DSGVO), in a promotional approach by our customers. The
advertising mailings are provided as part of processing by a service provider on
our behalf, whom we forward your data for this purpose. 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.

for ads from third-parties and advertising networks and using Google AdSense.
These ads will appear in different places on this website. As part of the
integration of Google AdSense the so-called DoubleClick cookie from Google is
set for all site visitors. This allows the display of interest-based advertising
by automatically assigning a pseudonymous UserID, with the help of interests
determined following visits to this and other websites. This serves the
preservation of our legitimate interests, which predominate in the context of a
weighing up of interests, for an optimal marketing of our website. Google
AdSense is an offer from Google LLC (www.google.com). Google LLC is
