Data Protection

Access data and hosting

You can visit our website without providing any personal information. Each time you call up a website, the web server 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 the call, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the call.

We use the data you provide without your separate consent exclusively for the fulfillment and processing of your order. Once the contract has been fully processed and the purchase price has been paid in full, your data will be blocked for further use and deleted after expiry of the retention periods under tax and commercial law, unless you have expressly consented to the further use of your data. If you register for the newsletter, your email address will be used for our own advertising purposes until you unsubscribe from the newsletter. You can unsubscribe at any time.

This access data is evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offer. In accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO, this serves to protect our legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our website, which are outweighed by our interests. All access data is deleted at the latest seven days after the end of your visit to our website.

Identity and credit check when selecting Paypal payment methods

If you give your consent, your data (first name and surname, street, house number, postcode, town, date of birth, telephone number and, in the case of purchase by direct debit, the account details provided) and the data relating to your order will be transmitted to PAYPAL. For the purpose of its own identity and creditworthiness check, Paypal or partner companies commissioned by it transmits data to credit agencies (credit agencies) and receives information from them as well as, if applicable, creditworthiness information on the basis of mathematical-statistical procedures, the calculation of which includes address data. Detailed information on this and on the credit agencies used can be found in Paypal's data protection provisions.

Only if you select a payment method from our cooperation partner Paypal will this data be used, otherwise the data will automatically expire after 30 minutes.

You can revoke your consent to Paypal at any time. However, Paypal may still be entitled to process, use and transmit your personal data if this is necessary for the contractual processing of payments or is legally required or ordered by a court or an authority.
