We are pleased about your interest 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 websites without providing personal information. Every time a web page is accessed, the web server automatically stores a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, date and time of access, the amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the access. This access data is evaluated solely for the purpose of ensuring the smooth operation of the site as well as improving our offer. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our offer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

Hosting

The services for hosting and displaying the website are partly provided by our service providers as part of processing on our behalf. Unless otherwise explained in this privacy policy, all access data and all data collected in forms provided on this website are processed on their servers. If you have any questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please contact us using the contact details provided in this privacy policy.

Our service providers are located and/or use servers in the following countries, for which the European Commission has determined an adequate level of data protection: USA.

Until certification by our service providers, data transfer is still based on the following: Standard data protection clauses of the European Commission.
