Privacy Policy

Unless otherwise stated below, the provision of your personal data is neither legally nor contractually required, nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the data. Non-provision will have no consequences. This only applies as long as no other indication is made in the subsequent processing operations.

"Personal data" refers to all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Server Log Files

You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. Each time our website is accessed, usage data is transmitted to us or our web host/IT service provider by your internet browser and stored in log files (so-called server log files). These stored data include, for example, the name of the page accessed, the date and time of access, the IP address, the amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider. Processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in ensuring the smooth operation of our website and improving our offerings.

Your data may also be transferred to Canada. For data transfers to Canada, there is an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

Collection, Processing, and Transfer of Personal Data in Orders

When placing an order, we collect and process your personal data only to the extent necessary for the fulfillment and processing of your order and to handle your inquiries. Providing the data is necessary for the conclusion of the contract. Failure to provide the data means that no contract can be concluded.

Your data will, for example, be transferred to the shipping companies and dropshipping providers you have chosen, payment service providers, service providers for order processing, and IT service providers. In all cases, we strictly adhere to the legal requirements. The scope of data transmission is limited to a minimum.

Your data may also be transferred to Canada. For data transfers to Canada, there is an adequacy decision by the European Commission.
