This access data is analyzed exclusively for the purposes of ensuring fault-free operation of the site and to optimize our website. In accordance with Art. 6(1)(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), this is carried out for the purposes of our overriding legitimate interest in ensuring our website is presented correctly as determined through a weighing of interests.

We collect personal data when you provide it to us voluntarily when placing an order, when contacting us (e.g., via the contact form or email), or when opening a customer account. Mandatory fields are labeled as such because, in these cases, we require the data for the purposes of contract performance or to process your inquiry or open your customer account and, if you do not provide such data, you will not be able to place the order and/or open an account, or send the inquiry. The data collected is specified in the relevant input forms. We use the data that you provide in accordance with Art. 6(1)(1)(b) GDPR for the purposes of contract performance and for processing your inquiries. Following performance of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be restricted with respect to any further processing and erased once any retention periods under tax or commercial law have expired, unless you have expressly consented to the further use of your data or we reserve the right to further use of the data where this is permitted by law and we have informed you accordingly in this policy. You may delete your customer account at any time either by notifying us via the contact details provided below or by using the relevant function in the customer account.
3. Data Transfer
For the purposes of contract performance in accordance with Art. 6(1)(1)(b) GDPR, we will pass on your data to the shipping company commissioned to carry out the delivery where this is required in order to deliver the ordered goods. Depending on the payment service provider that you select during the order process, in order to process the payment, we will pass on the payment details collected for this purpose to the credit institution commissioned to handle the payment and, where applicable, to the payment service provider we have commissioned or the selected payment service. The selected payment service providers may also collect this data themselves if you create an account with them. In this case, you will need to log into your account with the payment service provider using your login details during the order process.
