Data protection declaration

1. Collection, processing and use of personal data

Our website can be used without providing personal data. We only receive access data without personal details such as the name of your Internet service provider, the page that brought you to our site and the pages you visit. These data are evaluated exclusively for the purpose of improving our offer and do not permit any conclusions to be drawn regarding you.

Personal data are only collected if you provide us with such within the scope of a survey or when placing an order. We use the data communicated by you, without your explicit consent, for the purpose of fulfilling and processing your order or inquiry. As soon as the contract has been performed in full and the entire purchase price has been paid, your data will be used internally for statistical and marketing-relevant analyses.

If we receive your e-mail address in connection with the sale of a product or service and you have not objected to this, we reserve the right to send you offers about our product range, invitations to customer events and general information about the company. You can object to this use of your e-mail address for this purpose at any time by sending us a message or by clicking on the unsubscribe link if we send the message electronically.

2. Disclosure of personal data to third parties

Your data will not be disclosed to third parties without your express consent, unless it is done for the purpose of executing an order, in particular for the delivery of the goods by our logistics partner, for performing credit checks or for processing a payment, or if such disclosure is permissible on the basis of relevant statutory provisions.

Please note that online data transmissions (e.g. during e-mail communications) may be subject to security breaches. It is not possible to fully protect this data against third-party access.

3. Data security

Your personal data will be transmitted via the Internet during the order process. Payment-relevant data such as credit card data, passwords etc. will not be stored, but instead are collected and processed directly by our payment service provider Datatrans. We take technical and organisational measures to protect our website and other systems against loss, destruction, access, modification or the distribution of your data by unauthorised persons. Despite regular checks, it is not possible to offer complete protection against all dangers. Your customer account is only accessible by entering your personal password. You should keep your payment information confidential at all times and close your browser window after communicating with us, especially if you share your computer with other people.

4. Credit checks

If we effect prior performance, e.g. in the case of a purchase on account, we reserve the right to obtain credit information from the credit agency listed below to safeguard our interests. To this end, we transmit the necessary personal data to the credit agency for lawful processing and use the information received regarding the statistical probability of non-payment to reach a decision regarding the performance or termination of the contractual relationship.
