Categories, sources and origin of the data
The website provider automatically collects and stores information that your browser transmits to us in server log files. These are:
Visited pages on our domain
Date and time of the server request
Browser type and browser version
Operating system used
Referer URL
Host name of the accessing computer

This data is not merged with other data sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.
Disclosure to third parties
We use processors, i.e. companies that we commission to process data within the legally prescribed framework, Art. 28 GDPR. This applies in particular to the areas of payment and shipping. The necessary data protection contracts have been concluded with these service providers.
Otherwise, data will only be passed on to third parties if we are obliged to do so on the basis of mandatory legal provisions (disclosure to external bodies such as supervisory authorities or law enforcement agencies).
Within our company, we ensure that only those persons receive your data who need it to fulfill contractual and legal obligations.
Duration of data storage
We store your data for as long as it is required for the respective processing purpose. Please note that numerous retention periods require that data (must) continue to be stored. This applies in particular to retention obligations under commercial or tax law (e.g. German Commercial Code, German Fiscal Code, etc.). If there are no further retention obligations, the data will be deleted once the purpose has been achieved.
Data transmission
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us as the site operator, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. This means that data that you transmit via this website cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the “https://” address line of your browser and the lock symbol in the browser line.
We use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect the data we store against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons.
Transfer to third countries
Data will only be transferred to third countries (outside the European Union or the European Economic Area) if this is necessary for the performance of the contractual relationship, is required by law or if you have given us your consent to do so.
