PRIVACY POLICY
Privacy Policy
We are pleased about your interest in our website. Protecting your privacy is very important to us. Below we provide detailed information on how we handle your data.
Data Collection and Use for Contract Processing
We collect personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us in the course of placing an order or contacting us (e.g., via contact form or email). The data collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide to process contracts and handle your inquiries. Once the contract has been fully processed, your data will be blocked from further use and deleted after the legally required retention periods under tax and commercial law, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to further data use, which is legally permitted and about which we inform you below.
Data Sharing for Contract Fulfillment
To fulfill the contract, we share your data with the shipping company responsible for delivery, to the extent necessary for the delivery of ordered goods. Depending on the payment method you choose during the ordering process, we forward the collected payment data to the payment institution tasked with the transaction and, if applicable, to payment service providers we have engaged, or to the selected payment service. In some cases, the selected payment service providers collect this data themselves when you open an account with them. In that case, you must log in with your access data during the ordering process. The privacy policy of the respective payment service provider then applies.
Use of Cookies
To make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use so-called "cookies" on various pages. These are small text files stored on your device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted after your browser session ends (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your device and allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit (persistent cookies). You can set your browser to inform you when cookies are set and decide individually whether to accept them, or to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general. If you do not accept cookies, the functionality of our website may be limited.
Use of Google (Universal) Analytics for Web Analysis
This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (www.google.com). Google (Universal) Analytics uses methods such as "cookies", which are text files stored on your computer to help analyze how you use the website. The information generated about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will first be truncated within EU member states or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The anonymized IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google.
You can prevent the collection and processing of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link:

Use of Facebook, Google+, Twitter, and Instagram Plugins
Our website uses social plugins ("plugins") of the social networks Facebook and Google+, and the microblogging services Twitter and Instagram. These services are provided by Facebook Inc., Google Inc., Twitter Inc., and Instagram LLC (collectively referred to as "providers").

When you visit a page on our site that contains one of these plugins, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of Facebook, Google, Twitter, or Instagram. The plugin content is transmitted directly to your browser and integrated into the page. Through this integration, the providers receive information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page on our website—even if you do not have a profile with or are not logged into the respective service. This information (including your IP address) is sent directly from your browser to a server of the respective provider in the USA and stored there.
If you are logged into one of the services, the providers can directly associate your visit to our website with your profile on Facebook, Google+, Twitter, or Instagram. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the "Like", "+1", "Tweet", or "Instagram" button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a provider server and stored there. The information is also published in the respective social network and may be shown to your contacts.
For more information on the purpose and scope of data collection and how the providers further process and use your data, as well as your rights and options for protecting your privacy, please see the providers’ privacy policies:

If you do not want these providers to associate data collected via our website directly with your profile in their service, you must log out of the relevant service before visiting our site. You can also completely block the plugins with browser add-ons, such as the script blocker "NoScript" (http://noscript.net/).
