Privacy Policy

Thank you for your interest in our online shop. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. In the following we inform you in detail about the handling of your personal data.

1. Access data and hosting

You can visit our websites without giving any personal information. Each time a website is accessed, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file containing for example the name of the requested file, your IP address, date and time of the retrieval, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data); each retrieval is documented.

These access data are evaluated solely for ensuring a trouble-free operation of the site and the improvement of our offer. In accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 (f) GDPR this serves to protect our legitimate interests, which predominate within the context of a weighing up of interests, for the correct presentation of our offer. All access data will be deleted not later than seven days after the end of your page visit.

Hosting services by a third party

Within the framework of a processing on our behalf, a third party provides the services for hosting and displaying the website. This serves to protect our legitimate interests, which predominate in the context of a weighing up of interests, in a correct presentation of our offer. All data collected as part of the use of this website or in designated forms in the online shop, as described below, will be processed on its servers. Processing on other servers only takes place within the exemplified context. This service provider is located within Germany.

We collect personal information if you voluntarily provide it to us as part of your order, when contacting us (for example, by contact form or e-mail) or when opening a customer account. Required fields are marked as such, since in these cases we need the data for contract execution, or to process your inquiry, or opening the customer account and without this information you cannot complete the order, or opening the account, or cannot send a message. Which data are collected, can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the provided data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 (b) GDPR for contract handling and the process of any inquiries you may have. After completion of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after expiry of the tax and commercial retention periods, unless you have explicitly consented to a further use of your data or we reserve the legally permitted right for future data use, 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 a message to the contact option described below or via a designated function in the customer account.

3. Data transfer

For fulfillment of the contract according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 (b) GDPR we pass on your data to the shipping company responsible for the delivery, as far as this is necessary for the delivery of ordered goods. Depending on which payment service provider you select in the order process, we will forward collected payment data to the credit institution commissioned with the payment and any payment service providers commissioned by us to process the payments or to the selected payment service. In part, the selected payment service providers also collect the data themselves, insofar that you create an account there. In this case, you must log in to the payment service provider with your access data during the ordering process and the privacy policy of the respective payment service provider applies.

7. Use of social plugins from Pinterest only after activation by the user

Our website uses social plugins ("plugins") from social networks. In order to increase the protection of your data when visiting our website, the plugins are integrated into the site by means of a so-called "2-click solution". This integration ensures that when you visit a page of our website that contains such plugins, no connection is yet established with the servers of the respective social network. Only when you activate the plugins, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of the respective social network. The content of the respective plugin is then transmitted directly to your browser by the associated provider and integrated into the page. By integrating the plugins, the providers receive the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a profile with the corresponding provider or are currently not logged in. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to a server of the respective provider (possibly in the USA) and stored there. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the "Like" or the "Share" button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a server of the provider and stored there. The information will also be posted on the social network and displayed there to your contacts. This serves the protection of our legitimate interests, which predominate in the context of a weighing up of interests, in the optimal marketing of our offer according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 (f) GDPR. For purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the provider as well as a contact option and your related rights and settings options to protect your privacy, please refer to the privacy policy of the provider: https://about.pinterest.com/de/privacy-policy
