Thank you for your interest in our platform. 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 any personal information. Each time you access a website, the web server only automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, the 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 exclusively for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offer. In accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO, this serves to protect our legitimate interests in a correct presentation of our offer, which outweigh our interests in the context of a balancing of interests. All access data is deleted no later than seven days after the end of your visit to the site.

Hosting services by a third-party provider
As part of processing on our behalf, a third-party provider provides hosting and website presentation services for us. This serves to protect our legitimate interests in a correct presentation of our offer, which are outweighed in the context of a balance of interests. All data collected in the course of using this website or in forms provided for this purpose on the platform as described below are processed on its servers. Processing on other servers only takes place within the framework explained here.

This service provider is located within a country of the European Union or the European Economic Area.

2. Collection and use of data for contract processing, contacting us

We collect personal data if you provide it voluntarily in the context of your order or when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail). Mandatory fields are marked as such, because in these cases we need the data to process the contract or to process your contact and you can not send the order or contact without their information. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data provided by you in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b DSGVO for contract processing and processing your requests. If you have given your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO by deciding to open a customer account, we will use your data for the purpose of opening a customer account. After complete processing of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after expiry of the retention periods under tax and commercial law, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this statement. The deletion of your customer account is possible at any time and can be done either by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a function provided for this purpose in the customer account.

3. Data transfer

For the fulfillment of the contract in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b DSGVO, we pass on your data to the shipping company commissioned with the delivery, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of ordered goods. Depending on which payment service provider you select in the ordering process, we pass on the payment data collected for this purpose to the credit institution commissioned with the payment and, if applicable, to payment service providers commissioned by us or to the selected payment service. In some cases, the selected payment service providers also collect this data themselves, insofar as you create an account there. In this case, you must register with the payment service provider with your access data during the ordering process. In this respect, the privacy policy of the respective payment service provider applies.

We also use an external merchandise management system for order and contract processing. The data transfer and processing that takes place in this respect is based on order processing.

The same applies to the transfer of data to our manufacturers or wholesalers in cases where they take over the shipping for us (drop shipment).

We use payment service providers that are based in a state outside the European Union. The transfer of personal data to this company takes place only within the scope of necessity for the fulfillment of the contract.

Data transfer for the purpose of age verification
If your order includes goods whose sale is subject to age restrictions, we ensure that the customer has reached the required minimum age by using a reliable procedure involving a personal identity and age check. For this purpose, the SCHUFA IdentitätsCheck is used on our website. This service is operated by SCHUFA Holding AG, Kormoranweg 5, 65201 Wiesbaden.
In order to ensure the required minimum age, individual personal data (e.g. name, address and date of birth) are transmitted to SCHUFA Holding AG in this context. A so-called identity check is then carried out with Q-Bit, which has been positively assessed by the Commission for the Protection of Minors in the Media (KJM) for age verification.
Pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO, the transmission of data serves to protect our legitimate interests, which are overriding in the context of a balancing of interests, in ensuring an offer that complies with the law on the protection of minors, as well as the legal provisions on the protection of minors.
A credit check does not take place in this respect.

After complete processing of the contract and after expiry of the retention periods under tax and commercial law, your data processed for this purpose will be deleted, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.

Data transfer to collection companies
In order to fulfill the contract in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b DSGVO, we pass on your data to a commissioned debt collection company, insofar as our payment claim has not been settled despite a previous reminder. In this case, the debt will be collected directly by the collection agency. In addition, the transfer serves to protect our legitimate interests in an effective enforcement of our payment claim in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

4. E-mail newsletter and postal advertising

E-mail advertising with registration for the newsletter
If you register for our newsletter, we use the data required for this purpose or separately provided by you to send you our e-mail newsletter on a regular basis based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. a DSGVO.

Unsubscribing from the newsletter is possible at any time and can be done either by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a link provided for this purpose in the newsletter. After unsubscribing, we will delete your e-mail address unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this statement.

E-mail advertising without registering for the newsletter and your right to object
If we receive your e-mail address in connection with the sale of a product or service and you have not objected to this, we reserve the right, on the basis of Section 7 (3) of the German Unfair Competition Act (UWG), to regularly send you e-mail offers for similar products to those you have already purchased from our range. This serves to protect our legitimate interests in addressing our customers in an advertising manner, which are outweighed in the context of a balancing of interests.
You can object to this use of your e-mail address at any time by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a link provided for this purpose in the advertising e-mail, without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates.

The newsletter is sent as part of a processing on our behalf by a service provider to whom we pass on your e-mail address for this purpose.

This service provider is located in a country outside the European Union, for which the European Commission has determined by decision an adequate level of data protection.

Postal advertising and your right to object
In addition, we reserve the right to use your first and last name as well as your postal address for our own advertising purposes, e.g. to send you interesting offers and information about our products by mail. This serves to protect our legitimate interests in addressing our customers in an advertising manner in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

The advertising mailings are provided as part of processing on our behalf by a service provider, to whom we pass on your data for this purpose.
You can object to the storage and use of your data for these purposes at any time by sending a message to the contact option described below.

5. Data use for payment processing

Identity and credit check when selecting Klarna payment services.
If you choose Klarna's payment services, we ask for your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. a DSGVO that we may transfer the data necessary for the processing of the payment and an identity and credit check to Klarna. In Germany, the credit agencies mentioned in Klarna's privacy policy may be used for the identity and credit check.
The information received about the statistical probability of non-payment is used by Klarna for a weighed decision on the establishment, implementation or termination of the contractual relationship.
You can revoke your consent at any time by sending a message to the contact details below. This may result in us no longer being able to offer you certain payment options. You can also revoke your consent to this use of personal data at any time to Klarna.
