From your IP address, we cannot identify you in person. We also do not match your IP address with other data in such a way that such inference would be possible. We collect and process this data in order to ensure the trouble-free operation of our website and to detect, fend off and prosecute a misuse of our services. Furthermore, we use the collected data for statistical purposes to evaluate, for example, with which terminals and browsers our platform is accessed in order to adapt our offer on the basis of the needs of users on an ongoing basis and to improve. This data processing is based on Article 6 par. 1 f GDPR. We will delete the aforementioned data no later than six months after it has been collected. If you place an order via our website, we store the data entered by you during the ordering process. This includes, in particular, your name, address, e-mail address, and other information voluntarily provided by you (such as a different delivery address or telephone number). We process this data electronically for the proper performance of the contract, in particular for shipping, invoicing, accounting, and processing of returns and complaints. This data processing is based on Article 6 par. 1 b GDPR. We store this data until all mutual claims arising from the respective contractual relationship with you have been completely settled and the commercial and fiscal retention periods to which we are subject have expired. To conclude a contract between you and us, it is necessary that we receive your name, address. The necessity of providing this data arises, among other things, from various legal regulations (such as § 312i par. 1 and 3 BGB, § 14 par. 4 UStG). Without providing this data, you cannot conclude a contract with us. We do not use any automated decision-making or profiling.

Shipping When we ship physical goods in order to perform a contract, we may transmit your name and shipping address to Deutsche Post (Deutsche Post AG, 53113 Bonn) or DHL (DHL Paket GmbH, 53113 Bonn) as the shipping service provider, solely for the purpose of delivering the shipment to you on the basis of Article 6 par. 1 b GDPR.

We will erase the information collected from your message no later than six months after the last communication with you. If you send us a message with information legally relevant for the contractual relationship (e.g. a withdrawal or a complaint), the legal basis for the processing is Article 6 par. 1 b GDPR, regardless of how you transmitted your message to us. In such a case, we will erase the data related to your message as soon as all mutual claims arising from the contractual relationship have been completely settled and the commercial and fiscal retention periods have expired.
