Privacy Policy
The following information provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit our web shop. Personal data is all data with which you can be personally identified. You can find detailed information on the subject of data protection in our data protection declaration listed under this text.
Data collection on our website
Who is responsible for data collection on this website?
The data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find his contact details in the imprint of this website.
Data protection
The subject of data protection is personal data, taking into account the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this data protection declaration.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
SSL or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you send to us cannot be read by third parties.
Scope of data collection and storage
In general, it is not necessary for you to provide personal data in order to use our website. However, in order for us to actually provide our services, we may need your personal data. This applies both when sending information material or ordered goods and when answering individual inquiries.
You can place an order in our webshop without prior registration.
If you commission us to provide a service or send you goods, we will only collect and store your personal data to the extent necessary to provide the service or execute the contract. This may require us to pass on your personal data to companies that we use to provide the service or execute the contract. These include, for example, transport companies or other service providers.
We use the external provider PayPal to process payments. The buyer instructs PayPal to forward the payment to us. The email and delivery address are transmitted. We store this data to provide the service.
After the contract has been fully processed, your data will be blocked and deleted after the tax and commercial law regulations have expired, unless you have expressly consented to any further use of the data.
Data collection through the use of Google Analytics
Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies". These are text files that are stored on your computer and that enable an analysis of your use of the website. For example, information about the operating system, browser, your IP address, the website you previously visited (referrer URL) and the date and time of your visit to our website is recorded. The information on the use of our website generated by this text file is transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of our website, to compile reports on website activity for website operators and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage. If this is required by law or if third parties process this data on Google's behalf, Google will also pass this information on to these third parties. This use is anonymized or pseudonymized. You can find more information about this directly at Google http://www.google.com/intl/de/privacypolicy.html#information

Collection and storage of usage data
In order to optimise our website, we collect and store data such as the date and time the page was accessed, the page from which you accessed our site, and similar information, provided you do not object to this data collection and storage. This is done anonymously, without personally identifying the user of the site. User profiles may be created using a pseudonym. Here, too, no connection is made between the natural person behind the pseudonym and the usage data collected. We also use cookies to collect and store usage data. These are small text files that are saved on your computer and are used to store statistical information such as operating system, your internet usage program (browser), IP address, the previously accessed website (referrer URL) and the time. We collect this data exclusively for statistical purposes in order to further optimise our website and make our internet offerings even more attractive. The data is collected and stored exclusively in anonymised or pseudonymised form and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about you as a natural person.
Purpose-bound data use
We adhere to the principle of earmarked data use and only collect, process and store your personal data for the purposes for which you have communicated it to us. Your personal data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent, unless this is necessary to provide the service or to execute the contract. Data will also only be passed on to government institutions and authorities entitled to receive information within the framework of the statutory obligation to provide information or if we are required to provide information by a court decision.
We also take internal data protection very seriously. Our employees and the service providers we employ have been obliged to maintain confidentiality and to comply with data protection regulations.
Right to information and revocation
You can obtain information about your data stored by us free of charge at any time without giving reasons. You can block, correct or delete the data we have collected about you at any time and object to the anonymous or pseudonymized collection and storage of data for the purposes of optimizing our website. You can also revoke your consent to data collection and use at any time without giving reasons. Please contact the contact address provided in the imprint. We are always happy to answer any further questions you may have about our privacy policy and the processing of your personal data.
Please note that data protection regulations and data protection practices, e.g. at Google, can change continuously. It is therefore advisable and necessary to keep yourself informed about changes in the legal provisions and practices of companies, e.g. Google.
