Cookies
These pages sometimes use cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies are used to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are ‘session cookies’. They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser the next time you visit.
You can configure your browser to inform you when cookies are being set and to only allow cookies in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. If you disable cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.
Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions that you have requested (e.g. shopping basket function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure that its services are provided in a technically error-free and optimised manner. Insofar as other cookies (e.g. cookies for analysing your surfing behaviour) are stored, these are treated separately in this Data Protection Declaration.

This data is not combined with other data sources.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR, which allows for the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or for pre-contractual measures.

Contact Form
If you send us enquiries using the contact form, we will store the information you provide in the enquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of subsequent questions. We will not disclose this data without your consent.
The processing of the data entered in the contact form is therefore carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. All that this requires is an informal e-mail sent to us. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
We will retain the data you provide in the contact form until you request its erasure, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer pertains (e.g. after fulfilling your request). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Registration on this Website
You can register on our website to use additional functions on the site. We only use the data entered for the purpose of using the respective offer or service for which you have registered. The mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise, we will reject the registration.
In the event of important changes, for example to the scope of the offer or technically necessary changes, we will use the e-mail address provided during registration to inform you.
The processing of the data entered during registration is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time. All that this requires is an informal e-mail sent to us. The legality of the data processing that has already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data collected during registration will be stored by us for as long as you are registered on our website and will then be deleted. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Processing of Data (Customer and Contract Data)
We collect, process and use personal data only to the extent that it is necessary for the establishment, content or modification of the legal relationship (inventory data). This is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b of the GDPR, which allows for the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or for pre-contractual measures. We only collect, process and use personal data relating to the use of our website (usage data) to the extent necessary to enable the user to utilise the service or to bill for it.
The customer data collected will be deleted after the order has been completed or the business relationship has ended. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Data Transfer when Concluding a Contract for Services and Digital Content
We only transfer personal data to third parties if this is necessary for the fulfilment of the contract, for example to the credit institution commissioned to handle payments.
No further transmission of data will take place unless you have expressly consented to the transmission. Your data will not be disclosed to third parties without your express consent, for example for advertising purposes.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b of the GDPR, which allows for the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or for pre-contractual measures.
