4.) <\/strong>General Information<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your personal data (e.g. salutation, name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, bank details, credit card number) is stored and processed by us in compliance with the applicable statutory data protection provisions, in particular REGULATION (EU) 2016\/679 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95\/46\/EC (General Data Protection Regulation \u2013 GDPR), the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and other data-related laws [e.g. the Telemedia Act (TMG)].<\/p>\n

Under the GDPR and other regulations, the processing and use of data is only permitted if the GDPR or another legal provision expressly permits it, or if the data subject has given consent (prohibition subject to permission). Under these legal bases, the processing and use of data is in particular only permitted if<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. the data subject has given consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes;<\/li>\n
  2. processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract;<\/li>\n
  3. processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject;<\/li>\n
  4. processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person;<\/li>\n
  5. processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;<\/li>\n
  6. processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Accordingly, we only use and process your personal data within the permissible scope of contract performance or where you have given informed consent.<\/p>\n

    We do not generally pass on your personal data, including your address and e-mail address, to third parties. Exceptions to this are our service partners who need the transfer of data to carry out the contractual relationship, or cases where we have expressly informed you of this. In these cases, the scope of the data transmitted is, however, always limited to the necessary minimum.<\/p>\n

    5.) <\/strong>Anonymous Data Collection<\/strong><\/p>\n

    You can generally visit our website without telling us who you are. We only learn the name of your internet service provider, the website from which you visit us, and the pages of our website that you visit. This information is evaluated solely for statistical purposes. As an individual user, you generally remain anonymous in this respect; the information is of course not merged with your personal data, unless you have expressly consented to this or one of the cases listed below applies.<\/p>\n

    6.) <\/strong>Collection of Personal Data When Visiting Our Website and When Using Our Services in General<\/strong><\/p>\n

    We generally only collect personal data if you voluntarily provide it to us of your own accord. This may occur, for example, when placing an order or in order to perform a contract, where registration with personal data may be required (e.g. for orders, quotes, etc.). In such cases, we generally only collect the data that we are legally authorized to collect and that is essential for the fulfillment of the services you desire (for example, in the case of orders, this would typically be your name, address, telephone number and e-mail address; for a newsletter subscription, for example, only your e-mail address). When we collect personal data from you (e.g. via a contact or order form), you only ever need to provide the required data. The mandatory data fields are marked with an “asterisk”. Any additional data you provide is entirely voluntary and does not need to be disclosed. If you provide it anyway, by doing so you give us your consent that we may also store and process this data from you for the respective stated purpose; in some cases we also ask for your express consent for data protection purposes that require express consent, which you may of course grant voluntarily, which is not tied to any further conditions, and which can be revoked at any time for the future.<\/p>\n

    Your data is only stored and processed by us on servers within the European Union. A transfer to third countries generally does not take place, unless we are entitled and\/or obliged to do so on the basis of a statutory provision, or you have expressly consented to this in advance. However, such cases are always clearly indicated.<\/p>\n

    (7.) <\/strong>Data Processing for the Performance of a Contract<\/strong><\/p>\n

    (7.1) Purpose of Processing<\/strong><\/p>\n

    As part of, for example, our order process, you provide us with your personal data. The mandatory fields marked with an “asterisk” in this context are personal data required for the conclusion of a contract with us. Of course, you are not obliged to provide your personal data. However, without your providing the respectively required data (in the case of an order, for example, your delivery address), we cannot provide the service you desire (e.g. performance of the contract). For some payment methods, we require the necessary payment data in order to pass it on to a payment service provider commissioned by us. The processing of the data you enter during the order process is therefore always carried out for the purpose of contract performance.<\/p>\n

    (7.2) Legal Basis<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR.<\/p>\n

    (7.3) Categories of Recipients<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Payment service providers, shipping service providers, if applicable inventory management systems, if applicable suppliers (dropshipping).<\/p>\n

    (7.4) Storage Period<\/strong><\/p>\n

    We store the data required for contract processing until the expiry of the statutory warranty periods and, if applicable, contractual guarantee periods.<\/p>\n

    We retain the data required under commercial and tax law for the legally specified periods, generally ten years (cf. \u00a7 257 HGB, \u00a7 147 AO).<\/p>\n

    E-mail addresses that we receive solely for the purpose of sending newsletters are deleted immediately as soon as you unsubscribe from the newsletter.<\/p>\n

    (8.) <\/strong>Use of Cookies<\/strong><\/p>\n

    We use cookies on various pages to make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions. These are small text files that are stored on your computer. The cookies we use are deleted from your hard drive again after the end of the browser session (so-called session cookies). We do not use any other cookies.<\/p>\n

    (9.) <\/strong>Integration of Third-Party Services and Content<\/strong><\/p>\n

    It may happen that third-party content, such as videos from YouTube, map material from Google Maps, RSS feeds, or graphics from other websites, is embedded within this online offering. This always requires that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”) perceive the users’ IP address. Without the IP address, they would not be able to send the content to the respective user’s browser. The IP address is therefore required for the display of this content. We endeavor only to use content whose respective providers use the IP address solely for the purpose of delivering the content. However, we have no influence if third-party providers store the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. Insofar as this is known to us, we inform users about it.<\/p>\n

    (10.) Revoking Your Consent<\/strong><\/p>\n

    If you have given us data protection consent for certain data uses and\/or services, you may of course revoke this at any time with effect for the future. A simple message to the address given below is sufficient for this purpose:<\/p>\n

    (11.) Your Rights as a Data Subject<\/strong><\/p>\n

    As a data subject, you have various rights with regard to your personal data. As the controller, we have taken appropriate measures to provide you, as a data subject, with all information pursuant to Articles 13 and 14 GDPR and all communications pursuant to Articles 15 to 22 and Article 34 GDPR relating to processing, in a precise, transparent, comprehensible and easily accessible form, in clear and plain language; this applies in particular to information specifically addressed to children. Information is provided in writing or in another form, including, where appropriate, electronically. If requested by you, information may also be provided orally, provided that your identity as the data subject has been verified by other means.<\/p>\n

    Among other things, you naturally have the right at any time to request, in writing or electronically, information about the data stored about your person and its origin, the recipient(s) to whom the data is passed on, and the purpose of the storage. You also have the right to demand that incorrect data be corrected and, if the legal requirements for this are met, that your data be deleted or blocked. A simple message to the address given below is sufficient for this purpose:<\/p>\n

    In detail, you have the following rights:<\/p>\n

    (11.1) <\/strong>Right of Confirmation and Access<\/strong><\/p>\n

    You may request confirmation from us as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed by us.<\/p>\n

    If we process data about you, you may request the following information from us:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. the purposes for which the personal data is processed;<\/li>\n
    2. the categories of personal data being processed;<\/li>\n
    3. the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been or will still be disclosed;<\/li>\n
    4. the planned duration for which the personal data concerning you will be stored, or, if specific information about this is not possible, the criteria used to determine that duration;<\/li>\n
    5. the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of the personal data concerning you, a right to restriction of processing by us, or a right to object to such processing;<\/li>\n
    6. the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;<\/li>\n
    7. all available information on the origin of the data, if the personal data is not collected from the data subject;<\/li>\n
    8. the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Art. 22 (1) and (4) GDPR and \u2014 at least in these cases \u2014 meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Furthermore, you have the right to request information as to whether the personal data concerning you is transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you may request to be informed of the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.<\/p>\n

      (11.2) <\/strong>Right to Rectification<\/strong><\/p>\n

      You have the right to obtain from us the rectification and\/or completion of your personal data if the personal data processed concerning you is inaccurate or incomplete. We must of course carry out the rectification without delay.<\/p>\n

      (11.3) <\/strong>Right to Restriction of Processing<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Under the following conditions, you may request the restriction of the processing of personal data concerning you:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. if you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you, for a period enabling us to verify the accuracy of the personal data;<\/li>\n
      2. if the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of its use instead;<\/li>\n
      3. if we no longer need the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims, or<\/li>\n
      4. if you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and it is not yet clear whether our legitimate grounds override your grounds.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, such data may \u2014 with the exception of its storage \u2014 only be processed by us or by authorized third parties with your consent, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or a Member State.<\/p>\n

        If the restriction of processing has been restricted under the aforementioned conditions, we will inform you before the restriction is lifted.<\/p>\n

        (11.4) <\/strong>Right to Erasure<\/strong><\/p>\n

        (a) Obligation to Erase<\/strong><\/p>\n

        You may request that we erase personal data concerning you without undue delay, and we are obliged to erase such data without undue delay, provided that one of the following grounds applies:<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. The personal data concerning you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.<\/li>\n
        2. You withdraw the consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(a) or Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.<\/li>\n
        3. You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.<\/li>\n
        4. The personal data concerning you has been processed unlawfully.<\/li>\n
        5. Erasure of the personal data concerning you is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which we are subject.<\/li>\n
        6. The personal data concerning you was collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Art. 8 (1) GDPR.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          (b) Information to Third Parties<\/strong><\/p>\n

          If we have made the personal data concerning you public and are obliged pursuant to Art. 17 (1) GDPR to erase it, we shall take reasonable steps, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, including technical measures, to inform controllers processing the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copies or replications of, that personal data.<\/p>\n

          (c) Exceptions<\/strong><\/p>\n

          The right to erasure does not exist to the extent that processing is necessary<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;<\/li>\n
          2. for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing under Union or Member State law to which we are subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us;<\/li>\n
          3. for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with Art. 9 (2)(h) and (i) as well as Art. 9 (3) GDPR;<\/li>\n
          4. for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89 (1) GDPR, insofar as the right referred to under point a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing, or<\/li>\n
          5. for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            (11.5) Right to be Informed<\/strong><\/p>\n

            If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against us, we are obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been disclosed of such rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.<\/p>\n

            You have the right to be informed by us about these recipients.<\/p>\n

            (11.6) Right to Data Portability<\/strong><\/p>\n

            You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance, provided that<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR, and<\/li>\n
            2. the processing is carried out by automated means.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              In exercising this right, you further have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly by us to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.<\/p>\n

              The right to data portability does not apply to processing of personal data that is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us.<\/p>\n

              (11.7) Right to Object<\/strong><\/p>\n

              You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Art. 6 (1)(e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.<\/p>\n

              We will no longer process the personal data concerning you unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.<\/p>\n

              If personal data concerning you is processed for the purposes of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.<\/p>\n

              If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.<\/p>\n

              You have the option, in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002\/58\/EC, to exercise your right of objection by automated means using technical specifications.<\/p>\n

              (11.8) Right to Withdraw Data Protection Consent<\/strong><\/p>\n

              You have the right to withdraw your data protection consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of consent before its withdrawal.<\/p>\n

              (11.9) Automated Individual Decision-Making, Including Profiling<\/strong><\/p>\n

              You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing \u2014 including profiling \u2014 which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between you and us,<\/li>\n
              2. is authorized by Union or Member State law to which we are subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or<\/li>\n
              3. is based on your explicit consent.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                However, these decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in Art. 9 (1) GDPR, unless Art. 9 (2)(a) or (g) applies and suitable measures to protect your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests have been taken.<\/p>\n

                With regard to the cases referred to in a.) and c.), we take appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests.<\/p>\n

                (11.10) Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority<\/strong><\/p>\n

                Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR.<\/p>\n

                The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant on the progress and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.<\/p>\n

                (12.) E-mail Advertising<\/strong><\/p>\n

                If you have separately signed up for the newsletter, your e-mail address will be used for our own advertising purposes until you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Unsubscribing is possible at any time, without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates of your access provider.
