Personal data refers to all information that allows your personal identification.

The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

2) Data Collection During Website Visits

2.1 If you visit our website purely for informational purposes, without registering or otherwise actively submitting data to us, we only process technical data that your browser automatically transmits to our web server (so-called server log files). This specifically includes the following information:

      Page accessed on our website

      Date and time of access

      Data volume of transferred content in bytes

      Referrer URL (page from which you accessed us)

      Type and version of the browser used

      Operating system used

      IP address (possibly in anonymized form)

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in ensuring the stable and functional operation of our website. This data is generally not used for other purposes or passed on to third parties. However, we reserve the right to retrospectively evaluate log data if there are concrete indications of misuse or unlawful access.

2.2 To protect the transmission of your personal data and other confidential content – such as orders or messages to us – our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the string "https://" and the lock symbol in your browser's address bar.

3) Hosting and Content Delivery

Our website is hosted by a service provider who operates its infrastructure services – including those provided by subcontractors – exclusively on servers within the European Union. All data generated on our website is processed on these servers.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the hosting service provider in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR, which ensures the legally compliant handling of our website visitors' data and prevents unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

4) Cookies

We use cookies for the user-friendly design of our website and to provide certain functions. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. So-called session cookies are automatically removed after closing the browser. Persistent cookies, however, remain on your device even after restarting the browser and allow your preferences to be stored. You can find the respective storage duration in your browser's cookie settings.

Insofar as personal data is processed via individual cookies, this is done:

      in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for contract fulfillment,

      in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR based on your consent, or

      in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on our legitimate interest in an optimal and user-friendly website design.

You can configure your browser settings so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and can decide individually whether to accept them or generally deactivate the setting of cookies. Please note that deactivating cookies may impair the functionality of our website.

The processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to customer inquiries). Insofar as your contact aims at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The data will be deleted once the respective matter has been conclusively processed and no legal retention obligations prevent deletion.

6) Customer Account

If you create a customer account on our website, we process the personal data you provide in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR to the extent necessary for account management and order processing.

You can have your customer account deleted at any time by sending a message to the contact address mentioned above.

7) Direct Marketing and Newsletter

Newsletter Subscription

If you subscribe to our email newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our products and offers. The only mandatory information for receiving the newsletter is your email address. All other information is voluntary and serves for personalized addressing.

By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. We store the IP address assigned by your Internet service provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration in order to be able to provide the necessary evidence in the event of misuse of your email address.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the corresponding unsubscribe link in the newsletter or by notifying us. Your email address will be immediately deleted from our distribution list after unsubscribing, unless you have explicitly consented to other use.

For amounts over €25, prior device unlocking (e.g., via fingerprint or PIN) is required. Google transmits a uniquely valid transaction number (token) to your order website, which does not contain any real data of your payment methods. Google acts exclusively as a technical payment intermediary. Processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Transaction-related data (date, amount, merchant information) is also stored by Google for service optimization based on legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

9) Website functionalities

Google Sign-In

Our website integrates the Single Sign-On function of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland. Data may also be transmitted to Google LLC, USA.

If you have a Google account, you can register or log in on our website using it. Even when you access the page, a direct connection can be established between your browser and Google's servers – even without your own Google account or active login. Google thus receives the information that our page has been visited. Your IP address and other browser-side information are transmitted directly to Google servers and stored there, but not used for personal identification and not passed on to third parties. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in a convenient login option).

If you click the Google login button, Google will provide us with the public profile information stored in your account (user ID, name, address, email, age, gender) based on your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. We use this data exclusively to set up your user account. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future.

12) Storage period of personal data

      Data stored for direct marketing purposes will be deleted immediately after the right to object is exercised in accordance with Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR.
