4. Data Collection on Our Website
Cookies
Our website uses so-called cookies in some cases. Cookies do not cause any damage to your device and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offering more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.
You can set your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions you wish to use (e.g., the shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure technically error-free and optimized delivery of its services. Where other cookies are stored (e.g., cookies used to analyze your browsing behavior), these are addressed separately in this privacy policy.
Server Log Files
The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These include:
- Browser type and version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Hostname of the accessing device
- Time of the server request
- IP address
This data is not combined with data from other sources.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.
Contact Form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, the information you provide in the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case of any follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.
The processing of data entered into the contact form is therefore based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke this consent at any time. An informal email to us is sufficient for this purpose. The lawfulness of data processing carried out prior to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions — particularly retention periods — remain unaffected.
Processing of Data (Customer and Contract Data)
We collect, process, and use personal data only to the extent necessary to establish, structure the content of, or modify a legal relationship (inventory data). This is done on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures. We collect, process, and use personal data regarding the use of our website (usage data) only to the extent necessary to enable the user to use the service or to bill for its use.
Collected customer data is deleted after the order is completed or the business relationship ends. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
