Privacy Policy
We process your personal data (e.g., title, name, address, email address, phone number, bank account information, credit card number) solely in accordance with the provisions of German data protection law and the data protection laws of the European Union (EU). The following provisions inform you not only about the purposes of processing, recipients, legal bases, and retention periods, but also about your rights and the controller responsible for your data processing. This Privacy Policy applies only to our websites. If you are redirected to other websites via links on our pages, please review the privacy policies of those sites to learn how they handle your data.
(1) Purpose of Processing
The personal data you provide to us during the ordering process is necessary for entering into a contract with us. You are not obligated to provide your personal data. However, without your address, we cannot ship the goods to you. For some payment methods, we need the necessary payment information to forward it to a payment service provider we have engaged. The processing of the data you enter during the ordering process is therefore carried out for the purpose of fulfilling the contract.
If you submit an inquiry to us via email, a contact form, etc., before entering into a contract, we process the data received in this manner to carry out pre-contractual measures and, for example, answer your questions about our products.
If you open a customer account, your data (specifically your name, address, payment method, email address, and password) will be processed for registration and to create a customer login. The stored data allows you to shop with us more quickly and view your past orders at any time. You can delete your account by sending us a message or using the delete function.
(2) Legal Basis
The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.
(3) Categories of Recipients
Payment service providers, shipping service providers, hosting providers, inventory management systems (if applicable), and suppliers (dropshipping, if applicable).
(4) Retention Period
We store the data required for contract fulfillment until the expiration of the statutory warranty periods and, where applicable, contractual guarantee periods.
We retain the data required under commercial and tax law for the periods specified by law, typically ten years (see §257 HGB, §147 AO).
Data processed for the purpose of carrying out pre-contractual measures is deleted as soon as the measures have been carried out and it is clear that a contract will not be concluded.
(1) Purpose of Processing
You have the option to post a comment. Your data (e.g., name/pseudonym, email address, website) will then be processed solely for the purpose of publishing your comment.
(2) Legal Basis
The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
(3) Legitimate Interest
Our legitimate interest is the public exchange of user opinions on specific topics and products. Publication serves, among other things, to promote transparency and foster the formation of opinions. Your interest in data protection is safeguarded, as you can post your comment under a pseudonym.
(4) Retention Period
No specific retention period is specified. You may request the deletion of your comment at any time.
(5) RIGHT TO OBJECT
You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of data carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR that does not serve the purpose of direct marketing.
In the case of direct marketing, however, you may object to the processing at any time without providing a reason.

(1) We use social plugins from facebook.com, operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. The plugins can be identified by the Facebook logo or the label “Facebook Social Plugin.” For example, if you click the“Like” button or post a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted directly from your browser to Facebook and stored there. Furthermore, Facebook makes your preferences public to your Facebook friends. If you are logged into Facebook, Facebook can directly associate your visit to our site with your Facebook account. Even if you are not logged in or do not have a Facebook account at all, your browser transmits information (e.g., which website you visited, your IP address) that is stored by Facebook. For details on how Facebook handles your personal data and your rights in this regard, please refer to Facebook’s privacy policy. If you do not want Facebook to associate the data collected about you via our websites with your Facebook account, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our websites. You can also completely prevent the Facebook plugins from loading by using browser add-ons, such as the“Facebook Blocker” (Facebook).
(2) We use Twitter and its retweet functions, which are so-called “social plugins” from twitter.com, operated by Twitter Inc., 795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. The plugins are marked with a Twitter logo, such as the blue “Twitter bird.” When you use the retweet functions, the websites you visit are disclosed to third parties and linked to your Twitter account. For details on how Twitter handles your data, as well as your rights and settings options for protecting your personal data, please refer to Twitter’s privacy policy. If you do not want Twitter to directly associate the data collected through our website with your Twitter account, you must log out of Twitter before visiting our website. You can also completely prevent the Twitter plugins from loading by using browser add-ons, such as the script blocker (NoScript).

You have expressly granted the following consent separately or, if applicable, during the ordering process: Newsletter - Subscribe.
(2) Legal Basis
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.
(3) Categories of Recipients
If applicable, newsletter distribution providers

6. Right to Withdraw Consent
Under Article 7(3) of the GDPR, you have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time. This does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of your consent prior to its withdrawal.
7. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR, you have the right under Article 77 of the GDPR to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (in particular in the Member State of your residence, your workplace, or the location of the alleged infringement).
Please also note your right to object under Article 21 of the GDPR:
a) General: A reasoned objection is required
If the processing of your personal data is carried out
- to safeguard our overriding legitimate interest (legal basis under Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) or
- in the public interest (legal basis under Article 6(1)(e) of the GDPR),
you have the right to object to the processing at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on the provisions of the GDPR.
In the event of an objection, we will no longer process the personal data concerning you, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
b) Special Case: Direct Marketing—A Simple Objection Is Sufficient
If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object to this processing at any time and without providing a reason; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.
