organization, structuring, storage, adaptation, alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by
transmission, dissemination, or otherwise making available, alignment, or combination, restriction, erasure, or
destruction performed on personal data, whether by automated means or not.

and legal basis for the processing of such data either under our control or in conjunction with others. We also
inform you below about the third-party components we use to optimize our website and improve the user
experience which may result in said third parties also processing data they collect and control.
Our privacy policy is structured as follows:

II. The rights of users and data subjects
About the data processing to be described in more detail below, users and data subjects have the right
 to confirmation of whether data concerning them is being processed, information about the data
being processed, further information about the nature of the data processing, and copies of the data
(cf. also Art. 15 GDPR);
 to correct or complete incorrect or incomplete data (cf. also Art. 16 GDPR);
 to the immediate deletion of data concerning them (cf. also Art. 17 DSGVO), or if further processing is
necessary as stipulated in Art. 17 Para. 3 GDPR, to restrict said processing per Art. 18 GDPR;
 to receive copies of the data concerning them and/or provided by them and to have the same
transmitted to other providers/controllers (cf. also Art. 20 GDPR);
 to file complaints with the supervisory authority if they believe that data concerning them is being
processed by the controller in breach of data protection provisions (see also Art. 77 GDPR).

In addition, the controller is obliged to inform all recipients to whom it discloses data of any such corrections,
deletions, or restrictions placed on processing the same per Art. 16, 17 Para. 1, 18 GDPR. However, this
obligation does not apply if such notification is impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. Nevertheless,
users have a right to information about these recipients.
Likewise, under Art. 21 GDPR, users and data subjects have the right to object to the controller's future
processing of their data under Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. In particular, an objection to data processing for
direct advertising is permissible.

Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for its storage
ceases to apply, provided the deletion of the same is not in breach of any statutory storage obligations or
unless otherwise stipulated below.
Cookies
a) Session cookies
We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies stored on your
computer by your browser. These cookies process certain specific information about you, such as your
browser, location data, or IP address.  
This processing makes our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure, allowing us, for example, to
display our website in different languages or to offer a shopping cart function.
The legal basis for such processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, insofar as these cookies are used to collect data
to initiate or process contractual relationships.
If the processing does not serve to initiate or process a contract, our legitimate interest lies in improving the
functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
When you close your browser, these session cookies are deleted.
b) Third-party cookies
If necessary, our website may also use cookies from companies with whom we cooperate for advertising,
analyzing, or improving the features of our website.
Please refer to the following information for details, in particular for the legal basis and purpose of such third-
party collection and processing of data collected through cookies.
c) Disabling cookies
You can refuse the use of cookies by changing the settings on your browser. Likewise, you can use the browser
to delete cookies that have already been stored. However, the steps and measures required vary, depending
on the browser you use. If you have any questions, please use the help function or consult the documentation
for your browser or contact its maker for support. Browser settings cannot prevent so-called flash cookies from
being set. Instead, you will need to change the setting of your Flash player. The steps and measures required
for this also depend on the Flash player you are using. If you have any questions, please use the help function
or consult the documentation for your Flash player or contact its maker for support.
If you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, not all of the functions on our site may be fully usable.
Cookie Manager
To obtain consent for the use of technically unnecessary cookies on the website, the provider uses a cookie
manager.

When the website is called up, a cookie with the settings information is stored on the end device of the user so
that the request for consent does not have to be made on a subsequent visit.
The cookie is required to obtain legally compliant user consent.
You can prevent cookies from being installed by adjusting the settings on your internet browser.
Order processing
The data you submit when ordering goods and/or services from us will have to be processed to fulfill your
order. Please note that orders cannot be processed without providing this data.
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
After your order has been completed, your personal data will be deleted, but only after the retention periods
required by tax and commercial law.
To process your order, we will share your data with the shipping company responsible for delivery to the extent
required to deliver your order and/or with the payment service provider to the extent required to process your
payment.
The legal basis for the transfer of this data is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
Customer account/registration
If you create a customer account with us via our website, we will use the data you entered during registration
(e.g. your name, your address, or your email address) exclusively for services leading up to your potential
placement of an order or entering some other contractual relationship with us, to fulfill such orders or
contracts, and to provide customer care (e.g. to provide you with an overview of your previous orders or to be
able to offer you a wish-list function). We also store your IP address and the date and time of your registration.
This data will not be transferred to third parties.
During the registration process, your consent will be obtained for this processing of your data, with reference
made to this privacy policy. The data collected by us will be used exclusively to provide your customer account. 
If you give your consent to this processing, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis for this processing.
If the opening of the customer account is also intended to lead to the initiation of a contractual relationship
with us or to fulfill an existing contract with us, the legal basis for this processing is also Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b)
GDPR.
You may revoke your prior consent to the processing of your personal data at any time under Art. 7 Para. 3
GDPR with future effect. All you have to do is inform us that you are revoking your consent.
The data previously collected will then be deleted as soon as processing is no longer necessary. However, we

For this purpose, we have integrated Klarna's check-out into the final order page of our online shop.

operating system you are using, the type and version of your Internet browser er, the website from which the
check-out has been requested, the date and time of the call and the IP address are sent to Klarna - even
without your interaction with the check-out page.

check-out page will be processed by Klarna at your responsibility in processing the payment.
With the offered payment methods "PayPal" and "Advance Payment", processing without your further consent
is limited to the transfer of the payment data to us or PayPal.
With the offered payment methods of "Purchase on Account", "Hire Purchase", "Credit Card", "Direct Debit" or
"Immediate Payment", the following personal data is processed by Klarna for payment processing and identity
and credit checking:
- Contact information such as names, addresses, date of birth, gender, email address, telephone number,

scoring) are used. Scoring is calculated based on scientifically recognized mathematical and statistical methods.
