When you use this website, we collect data about you. We automatically collect data about your usage behaviour and your interaction with us and register data about your computer or mobile device. We collect, store and use data about every access to our website (so-called server log files). The access data includes the name and URL of the retrieved file, date and time of retrieval, amount of data transferred, message about successful retrieval (HTTP response code), browser type and browser version, operating system, referrer URL (i.e. the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider.

We use the log data without assignment to you or other profiling for statistical analysis for the purpose of operation, security and optimisation of our website, but also for the anonymous recording of the number of visitors to our website (traffic) and the extent and nature of use of our website and services, as well as for billing purposes to measure the number of clicks received from cooperation partners. Based on this data , we can provide personalised and location-based content, analyse traffic, troubleshoot and improve our services. We reserve the right to retrospectively review the log data if, on the basis of concrete evidence, there is a legitimate suspicion of unlawful use. We store IP addresses in the log files for a limited period of time, if this is necessary for security purposes or for the provision of services or the billing of a service, e.g. if you use one of our offers. After termination of the order process or after receipt of payment, we will delete the IP address if it is no longer required for security purposes. We also store IP addresses if we have a specific suspicion of a crime in connection with the use of our website. In addition, as part of your account, we save the date of your last visit (e.g. when registering, logging in, clicking links etc.).


2.2 E-mail contact

For all contact details (e.g. via contact form or e-mail), we store your details for processing the request as well as in the event that follow-up questions arise. We store and use other personal data only if you consent to it or if this is permitted by law without special consent.

Complete protection of the data from access by third parties is not possible.

To safeguard your data, we maintain technical and organisational security measures that we always adapt to state-of-the-art technology.

We also do not guarantee that our website will be available at specific times; disturbances, interruptions or failures cannot be excluded. The servers we use are regularly backed up carefully.

We use your personal data only within our company.

If and insofar as we involve third parties in the performance of contracts (such as logistics service providers), this personal data is only received to the extent that the transmission is required for the corresponding service.

In the event that we outsource certain parts of the data processing (“commissioned processing”), we contractually commit commissioned processors to use personal data only in accordance with the requirements of data protection laws and to ensure the protection of the data subject’s rights.

Data transmission to agencies or persons outside the EU outside of the cases mentioned in this declaration in point 2.3 does not take place and is not planned.
