We process personal data, such as name, address, email address, ordered products, invoice and payment data, which is necessary in order to comply with our contractual obligations. The collection of this data is already necessary for entering into a contract.

The legal basis for processing this data is Art. 6(1) sentence 1 point (b) GDPR.

For example, answering to your email might be a legitimate interest.

Sofern nicht spezifisch anders angegeben, speichern wir personenbezogene Daten nur so lange, wie dies zur Erfüllung der jeweils verfolgten Zwecke notwendig ist. So werden Zugriffsdaten nach Ziffer 2.1 für maximal sieben Tagen gespeichert und danach gelöscht. Daten, deren weitere Aufbewahrung zu Beweiszwecken erforderlich ist, sind bis zur endgültigen Klärung des jeweiligen Vorfalls von der Löschung ausgenommen.

In some cases, e.g. as regards compliance with our contractual obligations under no. 2.2 or in case of a contact under no. 2.3, the legislature possibly requires to store personal data for specified time limits, for instance in the field of commercial or tax law. In such cases we only continue to store the data for the aforementioned legal purposes when we have already fulfilled the purposes we pursued. Beyond that that the data is not processed for other purposes and will be erased after expiration of the statutory retention period.

4 Cookies

Like most other online services our Website uses own cookies and such of third parties for several purposes. Cookies contain information that is transmitted from our or a third-party´s webserver to the user´s web browser to be stored there and retrieved later. Cookies can be small files of other kind of information storage.

Cookies are used on the one hand to make the use of our services more pleasant for you. We use so-called session cookies in order to recognize that you visited separate pages of our website. These cookies will be deleted automatically after leaving our Website. Further, in order to optimize the usability we use temporary cookies which are stored on your device for a determined period of time. When you come back to our Website in order to use our services again your earlier visit and your entries and settings you made will be recognized automatically so you do not have to enter them again. Also, we use cookies to compile statistics on the use of our Website and evaluate those for the purpose of optimizing our services for you. These cookies will each be deleted automatically after a defined period of time. The aforementioned purposes are our legitimate interests for the data processing according to the legal basis of Art. 6(1) sentence 1 point (f) GDPR.

5 Use of Facebook and Instagram

On our Website we use the social plugins for the social networks Facebook and Instagram in order to make our company better known. The marketing purpose which we pursue by that is the legitimate interest for the according data collection under Art. 6(1) sentence 1 point (f) GDPR.

When accessing a website each of the plugins of the aforementioned social networks basically sends data of the user to the server of the social network – irrespective of whether a user clicks on the plugin or is registered in the social network concerned. This enables the social network provider to follow your behavior surfing the web and evaluate it for own marketing purposes (user tracking).

To avoid that and to increase the protection of your data during your visit of our Website we do not embed the aforementioned plugins without limitations in our Website but only by using a link. To our knowledge, embedding plugins this way does not establish a connection with the social network provider´s servers instantly when accessing our Website. Only if you click on one of the buttons a new tab of your browser will open and the service provider´s website will be accessed where you can (as the case may be after entering your login data) click the like button or follow button. In connection with this access, data such as the IP address of your computer, the website you visited as well as time and date of the access will be transmitted to the respective service provider. In case you are logged in to a social network, the aforementioned information will be collected and linked with your respective social network account.

Please see the privacy notice of the respective service provider as regards information on the purposes and extent of data collection and the further processing and use of data by the respective service provider as well as on your rights in this connection and options for privacy protection:
