Privacy and Data Protection

(1) Purpose of Processing
Your personal data that you provide to us in the ordering process is required for a contract with us. You are not obliged to provide your personal data. However, without providing your address, we cannot send you the goods. For some payment methods, we need the required payment data to pass it on to a payment service provider commissioned by us. The processing of your data entered in the ordering process therefore takes place for the purpose of contract fulfillment.
If you send us an inquiry by email, via a contact form, etc. before the contract is concluded, we process the data received in this way to carry out pre-contractual measures and, for example, answer your questions about our products.
In the event of opening a customer account, your data (in particular name, address, payment method, email, and password) will be processed for registration and creation of a customer login. With the stored data, you can shop faster with us and at any time view your orders made. By sending us a message or using a delete function, you can remove the account again.

We keep the data required by commercial and tax law for the legally specified periods, generally ten years (cf. §257 HGB, §147 AO).
The data processed for the purpose of carrying out pre-contractual measures will be deleted as soon as the measures have been carried out and it is apparent that no contract will be concluded.
