What data is collected can be deduced from the available fields if a form is provided, or the automatically generated email. This data is saved exclusively for the purpose of answering any questions posed and for the technical administration required to do so. The legal basis for processing this data is our interest in answering customer questions in accordance with Art. 6, Sec. 1 (f) EU GDPR. If the purpose of establishing contact is the conclusion of a contract, the additional legislative basis for processing your information is in accordance with Art. 6, Sec. 1 (b) EU GDPR.

In accordance with Art. 6, Sec. 1 (b) EU GDPR, personal data will be acquired and processed if it is provided during account creation or to execute a contract. Which data is collected can be deduced from the available fields in any required form, and the IP address is also saved. User accounts can be deleted at any time upon request to the aforementioned address. We save and use the data for contractual purposes. Following complete processing of the contract or deletion of your user account, your data is retained solely for tax-related and commercial purposes and deleted once all relevant periods have expired, unless you expressly consent to the further use of your data or unless a legally permitted continued use of the data is required on our part, which will be elaborated upon accordingly below.
6. Use of personal data for direct marketing
Newsletter for existing customers. If you provided us with your email address during the order process, we reserve the right to email you about special offers on products similar to the ones you already ordered. In accordance with § 7 sec. 3 UWG (German Unfair Competition Act, section on unreasonable nuisance), we do not require special permission for this. The data is processed exclusively on the basis of our legitimate interest in personalised direct marketing in accordance with Art. 6, Sec. 1 (f) EU GDPR. If you initially excluded your email address from being used for this purpose, you will not receive any such emails. You reserve the right to object to your email address being used for the reasons specified above with future effect by informing the responsible entity mentioned at the beginning. This will only incur the costs involved in transmitting the request at the basic rates. Your email address will not be used for advertising purposes effective immediately upon receipt of the objection.
7. Data processing during order placement

PayPal reserves the right to carry out credit checks for the payment methods: credit card via PayPal, direct debit via PayPal or - where applicable - "purchase on account" or installments via PayPal.

PayPal will decide whether to provide the payment method in question based on the result of the credit check and the statistical probability of non-payment derived therefrom. The credit report may contain probability values (so-called score values). If score values are included in the result of the credit report, they are based on a scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical method. This may include, but is not limited to, address data.

This information (including an abbreviated IP address) is generally sent to a Google server in the USA, where it is saved.

In these rare cases, processing is done in accordance with Art. 6, Sec. 1 (f) EU GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behaviour for optimisation and marketing purposes.
Google uses this information on our behalf to assess the use of our website, to generate reports regarding website usage and to provide us with other services relating to the use of our website and internet-related services. The IP address transmitted to Google Analytics via your browser is not merged with any other data by Google.
You can prevent cookie usage in your browser settings, but this may result in some features of our website not working properly. In addition, you can prevent Google Analytics accessing and processing data related to website usage (including the IP address) by installing the following plugin:

– Right to Rectification in accordance with Art. 16 EU GDPR: You have the right to demand inaccurate personal data be corrected, or missing data completed without undue delay;
– Right to deletion in accordance with Art. 17 EU GDPR: Assuming the conditions of Art. 17 sec. 1 EU GDPR apply, you have the right to demand deletion of your personal data. This right does not apply when processing is required in the name of exercising the right of freedom of expression and information, when it is legally required, when it is in the public interest or when it is required for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;
– Right to restriction of processing in accordance with Art. 18 EU GDPR: you have the right to request restricted processing of your personal data, provided the accuracy of the contested data is verified, if the deletion of unlawful data is rejected and restricted data processing is requested instead, if the data is required on your part for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims after it has fulfilled its purpose for us, or if you have objected to processing on grounds related to your specific situation, and provided our legitimate interests have not yet been ruled to override yours;

IF WE PROCESS YOUR DATA ON THE BASIS OF OUR LEGITIMATE INTEREST OVERRIDING YOUR OWN, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT ON THE GROUNDS OF YOUR PERSONAL SITUATION AT ANY TIME WITH FUTURE EFFECT.
IF YOU MAKE USE OF YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECTION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS THE DATA IN QUESTION. NEVERTHELESS, WE RETAIN THE RIGHT TO CONTINUE PROCESSING THE DATA IF WE CAN PROVE COMPELLING LEGAL GROUNDS FOR DOING SO AND THESE OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, BASIC RIGHTS AND BASIC FREEDOMS, OR IF PROCESSING THE DATA SERVES LEGAL CLAIMS OR ENFORCING OR EXERCISING THE LAW.
IF WE USE YOUR DATA FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE USE OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH PURPOSES AT ANY TIME. THIS OBJECTION CAN BE MADE AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.
IF YOU MAKE USE OF YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECTION, WE WILL STOP USING YOUR DATA FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES.
