Thank you for your interest in our online store. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below we inform you in detail about the handling of your data.

 

1. Access data and hosting

You can visit our website without providing any personal information. Each time a website is accessed, the web server only automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred, the requesting provider (access data) and documents the access. This access data is analyzed exclusively for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offer. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests, which predominates in the context of a weighing of interests, in a correct presentation of our offer in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR.

 

 Hosting

The services for hosting and displaying the website are partly provided by our service providers as part of processing on our behalf. Unless otherwise stated in this privacy policy, all access data and all data collected in the forms provided on this website will be processed on their servers. If you have any questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please use the contact option described in this privacy policy.

There is a decision by the European Commission on an adequate level of data protection for the USA as a basis for a third country transfer, provided that the respective service provider is certified. Until certification by our service providers, the data transfer continues to be based on this basis: standard data protection clauses of the European Commission.
