We are pleased that you are interested in our online shop. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below, we inform you in detail about the handling of your data.

1. Access Data and Hosting

You can visit our website without providing any personal information. Each time a webpage is accessed, the web server automatically stores what is known as a server log file (e.g., name of the requested file, your IP address, date and time of access, data volume transferred, and the requesting provider). These access data are evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring a trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offerings. This serves our legitimate interests in a proper presentation of our offer under Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. All access data are deleted at the latest seven days after your visit.

Hosting
Hosting services and website display are partially provided by our service providers on our behalf. Unless otherwise stated, all access data and data collected via forms on this website are processed on their servers. If you have questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please use the contact details listed in this policy.

2. Data Processing for Contract Fulfillment and Contact

2.1 Contract Fulfillment
To process contracts (including inquiries and warranty claims), we collect personal data you provide voluntarily during the ordering process as per Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR. Mandatory fields are marked, as we need these to fulfill your order. More details are shown in the respective forms. After the contract is fulfilled, your data will be restricted and deleted after the legally required retention period, unless you consent to further use (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) or we are legally permitted to do so.

2.2 Customer Account
If you create a customer account with your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR), we store your data for future orders. You can delete your account anytime through the relevant option or by contacting us. The data will then be deleted unless otherwise legally permitted.

2.3 Contact Requests
When you contact us (e.g., via form or email), we process the data you provide to handle your request (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR). Mandatory fields are marked. Data is deleted once your request is resolved, unless you consent to further processing.
