If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible person, this will only take place as far as it is technically feasible.
SSL or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in the address line.

3. Data collection on our website
Cookies
The web pages use ‘cookies’ in parts. Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our site more user-friendly, effective and safe. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser. Most of the cookies we use are ‘session cookies’. They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser on your next visit. You can set your browser to inform you about the use of cookies and to allow cookies only in specific cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If you disable cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited. Cookies, which are necessary for the electronic communication process or for the provision of certain functions you require (e.g. shopping basket function), are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g. cookies for analysing your browsing behaviour) are stored, these are treated separately in this privacy policy.
Server log files
The provider of the web pages automatically collects and stores information in server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
- browser type and version
- operating system used
- referrer URL
- hostname of the accessing computer
- time of the server request
- IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.
Contact form
If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact data you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent. The processing of the data entered in the contact form is thus exclusively based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. For this purpose an informal communication by email to us is sufficient. The legality of the data-processing operations carried out up to the time of revocation shall remain unaffected by the revocation. The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request that we delete it, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose for which the data was stored no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
Comment function on this website
For the comment function on this website, in addition to your comment, information about the time the comment was created and, if you are not posting anonymously, the user name you have chosen, are saved. Storage of IP address: Our comment function stores the IP addresses of users who post comments. Since we do not check comments on our site before they are posted, we need this data to be able to take action against the author in case of violations of rights such as insults or propaganda. Duration of storage of comments: The comments and related data (e.g. IP address) are stored and remain on our website until the commented content is completely deleted or the comments have to be deleted for legal reasons (e.g. insulting comments). Legal basis: The storage of the comments is based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke any consent you have given at any time. For this purpose an informal communication by email to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out shall not be affected by the revocation.
4. Klarna Payments
In order to offer you Klarna’s payment methods, we might in the checkout pass your personal data in the form of contact and order details to Klarna, in order for Klarna to assess whether you qualify for their payment methods and to tailor those payment methods for you. Your personal data transferred is processed in line with Klarna’s own privacy notice.
5. Social media
Facebook plugins (like & share buttons)
Our web pages integrate plugins from the social network Facebook, provider Facebook Inc. 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA. You can recognise the Facebook plugins by the Facebook logo or the ‘like’ button on our page. An overview of the Facebook plugins can be found here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. When you visit our website, the plugin establishes a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server. Facebook thereby receives the information that you have visited our site with your IP address. If you click the Facebook ‘like’ button while you are logged in to your Facebook account, you can link the contents of our website on your Facebook profile. This allows Facebook to assign visits to our website to your user account.

Functions of the Twitter service are integrated into our website. These functions are offered by Twitter Inc. 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA. By using Twitter and the ‘retweet’ function, the websites you visit are linked to your Twitter account and made known to other users. Data is also transmitted to Twitter. We would like to point out that we, as the provider of the website, have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Twitter. For more information, please see the Twitter privacy policy at: https://twitter.com/privacy.

Google+ plugin
Our web pages use Google+ functions. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Collection and dissemination of information: The Google+ button allows you to publish information worldwide. The Google+ button allows you and other users to receive personalised content from Google and our partners. Google stores both the information that you gave for the +1 content and information about the page you viewed when you clicked +1. Your +1 can be displayed as a link along with your profile name and photo in Google services, such as search results or your Google profile, or in other locations on websites and online ads. Google records information about your +1 activity to improve Google’s services to you and others. In order to use the Google+ button, you need a public Google profile that is visible worldwide and which must contain at least the name chosen for the profile. This name is used in all Google services. In some cases, this name may also replace another name you’ve used when sharing content through your Google Account. The identity of your Google profile may be displayed to users who know your email address or have other identifying information about you. Use of the information collected: In addition to the purposes explained above, the information you provide will be used in accordance with the applicable Google Privacy Policy. Google may publish aggregated statistics about users’ +1 activity and may share these statistics with users and partners, such as publishers, advertisers, or affiliated websites.

This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses ‘cookies’.

Browser plugin: You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.
