To whom we transfer your personal data
In addition to our company’s use of your personal information for your convenience, there are occasions when we may transfer your information to third parties. We may disclose information collected through our online store to service providers who provide services such as website hosting and setup, payment processing, order fulfillment, infrastructure provision, IT services, customer service, email and mail delivery services, and credit card processing. When transmitting your personal data, we continuously ensure the highest possible level of security. Therefore, your data will only be transmitted to service providers and partner companies that have been carefully selected.

During the payment process, we do not record or store the payment information during this transaction. You provide this information directly to the respective payment service provider exclusively.
Traffic monitoring
Like most websites, this site uses Google Analytics (GA) to track user interaction. We use this data to determine the number of people who use our site, to better understand how they find and use our websites, and to see their journey through the site.
Although GA records data such as your geographic location, device, internet browser and operating system, none of this information personally identifies you. GA also records your computer’s IP address, which could be used to personally identify you, but Google does not provide us with access to this. We assume that Google is performing the processing.
GA uses cookies, details of which can be found in Google’s developer guides. Our website uses GA’s analytics.js application.
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer by websites. They do not cause damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. They are used to provide a better browsing experience on each site. A cookie is defined as an item that is received by the browser and then stored by it as a text file. Each time the browser calls up a page from the server, this message is sent back, which enables the user’s computer to be identified.
Disabling cookies in your web browser will prevent GA from tracking any part of your visit to pages on this site.
Transmission to third parties
Finally, we transfer your data within the scope of existing data protection laws to third parties or official authorities if we are legally obliged to do so by an official directive or court order, or we have the right to do so, for example, because it is necessary for the prosecution of criminal offences, or for the protection and enforcement of our rights and claims.
Data security
The security of your personal data is a high priority for us. Therefore, we protect your data stored with us through technical and organizational measures to effectively prevent loss or misuse by third parties. In particular, our employees who process personal data are committed to maintaining confidentiality. To protect your personal data, the data is transmitted in encrypted form. We use, for example, TLS = Transport Layer Security to protect communication via your internet browser. This is identifiable by the padlock displayed by your browser in case of a TLS connection. In order to ensure the long-term protection of your data, technical security measures are regularly monitored and, if necessary, adapted to the respective prevailing technology standards.
Your rights
You have a legal right to be informed about your personal data stored by us and to request correction or deletion. The quickest, simplest and most convenient way to assert these rights is to log in to your customer account and directly edit your data stored there, or delete your customer account altogether. Data that we are required to store due to legal, institutional or contractual obligations to maintain commercial documents will be locked rather than deleted in order to prevent its use for other purposes.
Consent, right of objection
To the extent that we will use data for a purpose which, in accordance with legal provisions, requires your consent, we will always ask for your explicit permission and link the permission you grant in accordance with data protection provisions. The permission granted once can be revoked at any time, with effect for the future and/or you may object to future uses of your data for advertising, market research and opinion purposes. Please understand that the implementation of your objection/revocation of consent may take some time for technical reasons and that you may continue to receive notifications from us in the meantime.
Linking to other companies’ websites
Our online shop may contain links to the websites of other companies. We are not responsible for the data protection measures for external websites that you may access through these links. Please keep yourself informed in relation to the protection of your data on these external websites.
Security
We use reasonable organisational, technical and administrative measures to protect the personal information under our control. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or data storage system can guarantee 100% security. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any account you have with us has been compromised), please notify us immediately of the problem by contacting us via our online store’s contact form.
