Our web shop, among others, is available to you for electronic orders. If you would like access, this will be set up by us.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the processing of your personal data, please contact us:
In your customer account, you can view and administer all your inventory data saved at our company.

The data fields marked within the framework of the order process as mandatory are required by us to fulfil your order. We therefore collect, save and process your data for the entire handling of your purchase, including any subsequent warranties, for our services, the technical administration and to prevent crimes and fraud. Your personal data will only be forwarded to third parties if this is permitted by law, including for the purpose of handling the contract or for settlement purposes, or if you have given your prior consent. Within the framework of the order and contract handling, for instance, the service providers used by us (e.g. banks, logistics companies) received the necessary data for the order and contract handling. The data forwarded in this way may only be used by our service providers to fulfil their tasks.

Usage of your data for advertising purposes

In addition to the processing of your data for the handling of your purchase, we also use your data to recommend products to you that could interest you. In this regard, you have either given us your consent beforehand (e.g. to receive the newsletter) or there is a predominantly legitimate interest on our part to send you the offers that are similar to your original order. We commission a service provider to send the recommendations. The latter has undertaken towards us to comply with the valid provisions under data privacy law.

In this case, the address data will be sent to the respective cooperation partner for the designated purpose. The data will not be sent to other third-party companies.
For statistical purposes, we analyse how many participants participated in the respective competition. This analysis does not permit any conclusions as to the identity of individual participants.
