This stored data includes, for example, the name of the page accessed, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider. This data is used exclusively to ensure that our website operates smoothly and to improve our offering. It is not possible to assign this data to a specific person.
Collection and processing when using the contact form
When you use the contact form, we only collect your personal data (name, email address, message text) to the extent you provide it. The data processing serves the purpose of establishing contact. By sending your message, you consent to the processing of the transmitted data. The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR with your consent. You can revoke your consent at any time by notifying us, without affecting the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation. We only use your email address to process your request. Your data will then be deleted unless you have consented to further processing and use.
Use of Google reCAPTCHA
We use the reCAPTCHA service from Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google") on our website. The query serves the purpose of distinguishing whether the input was made by a human or by automated, machine processing. The query includes sending the IP address and possibly other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose, your input is transmitted to Google and used there. However, your IP address is shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCaptcha will not be merged with other Google data. Your data may also be transmitted to the USA. For data transfers to the USA, there is an adequacy decision of the European Commission, the "Privacy Shield". Google participates in the "Privacy Shield" and has submitted to the requirements. By clicking on the query, you consent to the processing of your data. The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR with your consent. You can revoke your consent at any time without affecting the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation. Further information on Google reCAPTCHA and the associated data protection declaration can be found at: https://www.google.com/privacy/ads/

Your customer account will then be deleted.
Collection, processing, use and processing of personal data when placing orders
When you place an order, we only collect and use your personal data to the extent that this is necessary to fulfil and process your order and to process your enquiries. The provision of the data is necessary for the conclusion of the contract. Failure to provide the data means that no contract can be concluded. The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR and is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract with you. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent. The only exceptions to this are our service partners, whom we need to process the contractual relationship, or service providers whom we use as part of order processing. In addition to the recipients named in the respective clauses of this data protection declaration, these are, for example, recipients in the following categories: shipping service providers, payment service providers, merchandise management service providers, service providers for order processing, web hosts, IT service providers and dropshipping dealers. In all cases, we strictly observe the legal requirements. The scope of data transmission is limited to a minimum.

Use of social plug-ins via “Shariff”
We use social network plug-ins on our website. So that you retain control over your data, we use the privacy-safe "Shariff" buttons. Without your express consent, no links are established to the social network servers and consequently no data is transmitted. "Shariff" was developed by the specialists at the computer magazine c't. It enables more privacy on the Internet and replaces the usual "Share" buttons on social networks. You can find more information about the Shariff project here https://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html. When you click on the buttons, a pop-up window appears in which you can log in to the respective provider with your data. Only after you have actively logged in will a direct connection to the social networks be established. By logging in, you give your consent to the transfer of your data to the respective social media provider. This includes your IP address and information about which of our pages you have visited. If you are connected to one or more of your social network accounts at the same time, the information collected will also be assigned to your corresponding profiles. You can only prevent this assignment by logging out of your social media accounts before visiting our website and before activating the buttons. The social networks named below are integrated using the "Shariff" function.
