3.2 Access Data
We collect information about you when you use this website.

This also constitutes our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 f) GDPR.
We reserve the right to check the log data retrospectively if there is a legitimate suspicion of illegal use based on concrete evidence. We store IP addresses in the log files for a limited period if this is necessary for security purposes or for providing or billing a service, e.g., if you use one of our offers. After the ordering process has been terminated or after payment has been received, we delete the IP address if it is no longer required for security purposes. We also store IP addresses if we have a concrete suspicion of a crime in connection with the use of our website. In addition, as part of your account, we store the date of your last visit (e.g., registration, login, clicking links, etc.).
3.3 Cookies
We use so-called session cookies to optimize our website. A session cookie is a small text file that is sent by the respective servers when visiting a website and is stored temporarily on your hard drive. This file contains a so-called session ID, with which various requests from your browser can be assigned to the shared session. This allows your computer to be recognized when you return to our website. These cookies are deleted after you close your browser. They serve, for example, so that you can use the shopping cart function across multiple pages.
To a lesser extent, we also use persistent cookies (also small text files stored on your device), which remain on your device and allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit. These cookies are stored on your hard drive and delete themselves after the specified time. Their lifespan is from 1 month to 10 years. This allows us to present our offer more user-friendly, more effectively, and safer, and to show, for example, information on the page that is tailored to your interests.
Our legitimate interest in using cookies in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 f) GDPR is to make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure.
The cookies store the following data and information, among others:

When the cookie is activated, it is assigned an identification number, and no personal data will be associated with this identification number. Your name, IP address, or similar data that would allow the cookie to be associated with you are not included in the cookie. Based on the cookie technology, we only receive pseudonymized information, for example, which pages of our shop were visited, which products were viewed, etc.
You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept them or to exclude the acceptance of cookies in specific cases or in general, or to completely prevent cookies. This may limit the functionality of the website.
3.4 Data for the Fulfillment of Our Contractual Obligations
We process personal data that we need to fulfill our contractual obligations, such as name, address, email address, ordered products, billing and payment information. The collection of this data is necessary for the conclusion of the contract.
When paying via PayPal, credit card via PayPal, direct debit via PayPal or – if offered – "purchase on account" via PayPal, we forward your payment data to PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter “PayPal”). PayPal reserves the right to conduct a credit check for the payment methods credit card via PayPal, direct debit via PayPal or – if offered – "purchase on account" via PayPal. PayPal uses the result of the credit check, relating to the statistical probability of default, for the decision on the provision of the respective payment method. The credit information may contain probability values (so-called score values). As far as score values are included in the result of the credit report, they are based on a scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical procedure. Among other things, address data is included in the calculation of score values. For further privacy-related information, especially about the credit agencies used, please refer to PayPal's privacy policy: https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.
For the “Instant Transfer” service, Sofort GmbH does not provide support to the online provider, so there is no data processing relationship according to Art. 28 GDPR. Instead, Sofort GmbH provides the end customer with a payment service directly. When using Instant Transfer, the end customer directly commissions Sofort GmbH to initiate the transfer in his online banking portal. Sofort GmbH directly interfaces with the end customer through the payment mask and thus has a direct relationship with them. The data protection information can be accessed directly at the following link: https://www.sofort.com/payment/wizard/getCmsContent/data_protection/DE/0/de.
The data is deleted after the expiration of warranty periods and statutory retention periods. Data linked to a user account (see below) will remain for the duration of the account's existence.
The legal basis for processing this data is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 b) GDPR, as we need this data to fulfill our contractual obligations to you.
3.5 User Account
You can create a user account on our website. If you wish to do so, we need the personal data requested during login. When logging in later, only your email or username and the password you have chosen are required.
For new registration, we collect master data (e.g., name, address), communication data (e.g., email address), payment data (bank details), and access data (username and password).
To ensure your proper registration and prevent unauthorized logins by third parties, you will receive an activation link by email after registering to activate your account. Only after successful registration do we permanently store the data you provided in our system.
You can have a once-created user account deleted by us at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates. A message in text form to the contact details listed under number 1 (e.g., email, fax, letter) is sufficient for this. We will then delete your stored personal data unless we still need to process it for order processing or due to statutory retention obligations.
The legal basis for processing this data is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 a) GDPR.
3.6 Newsletter
To sign up for the newsletter, the data requested in the registration process is required. The newsletter registration is logged. After registration, you will receive a message to the specified email address asking you to confirm the registration ("Double Opt-in"). This ensures that no third parties can sign up with your email address.
You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time and thus unsubscribe from the newsletter.
We store the registration data as long as it is needed for sending the newsletter. We store the log of the registration and the shipping address as long as there was an interest in proving the originally given consent, typically the limitation periods for civil law claims, thus a maximum of three years.
The legal basis for sending the newsletter is your consent according to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 a) in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR in conjunction with § 7 Para. 2 No. 3 UWG. The legal basis for logging the registration is our legitimate interest in proving that the shipment was made with your consent.
You can cancel the registration at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates. A message in text form to the contact details listed under number 1 (e.g., email, fax, letter) is sufficient for this. Of course, you will also find an unsubscribe link in every newsletter.

Regardless of the newsletter, we regularly send you product recommendations by email. This way, we provide you with information about products from our offer that you might be interested in based on your recent purchases of goods or services from us. We strictly follow legal requirements. You can object to this at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates. A message in text form to the contact details listed under number 1 (e.g., email, fax, letter) is sufficient for this. Of course, you will also find an unsubscribe link in every email.
The legal basis for this is the legal permission according to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 f) GDPR in conjunction with § 7 Para. 3 UWG.
3.8 Email Contact
If you contact us (e.g., via a contact form or email), we process your information to handle the request and in case follow-up questions arise.
If the data processing is for pre-contractual measures based on your request, or if you are already our customer, for the execution of the contract, the legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 b) GDPR.
We only process additional personal data if you give consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 a) GDPR) or if we have a legitimate interest in processing your data (Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 f) GDPR). A legitimate interest, for example, is responding to your email.
4 Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", text files that are stored on your computer and allow an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about the use of this website by visitors is usually sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
This also represents our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 f) GDPR.
Google has committed to the Privacy Shield agreement concluded between the European Union and the USA and is certified. As a result, Google commits to comply with the standards and regulations of European data protection law.

We have activated IP anonymization on this website (anonymizeIp). As a result, however, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to us.
The IP address provided by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we point out that in this case, you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to the fullest extent.
In addition, you can prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
Alternatively, to the browser plugin or within browsers on mobile devices, you can click the following link to set an opt-out cookie that prevents the future collection by Google Analytics within this website (this opt-out cookie only works in this browser and only for this domain. If you delete the cookies in your browser, you must click this link again): [Deactivate Google Analytics].

In the event that we outsource certain parts of data processing ("order processing"), we contractually obligate processors to use personal data in accordance with the requirements of data protection laws and to ensure the protection of the rights of the affected person.
