The extent and nature of the collection and use of your data differ depending on whether you are visiting our website solely to retrieve information or to make use of services offered by us:

a) Internet use

For the purely informational use of our website, it is generally not necessary for you to provide personal data.

Rather, in this case, we only collect and use the data that your Internet browser automatically transmits to us, such as:

We collect and use this data during an informational visit exclusively in non-personal form. This is done to enable the use of the internet pages you have accessed, for statistical purposes and to improve our internet service. We only store the IP address for the duration of your visit, no personal evaluation takes place. We do not combine this data with other data sources and the data is deleted after statistical evaluation. According to the decision of the European Court of Justice of 19.10.2016 (Az.: C 582/14), this is also permissible in view of the Telemedia Act.

b) Use of offers or data use for task fulfilment

If you wish to make use of services offered by us, it may be necessary for you to provide further data. This is the data that is required for the respective processing. You may provide further information voluntarily; it is marked as optional by us.

Some of the services are also provided in the login area of the homepage.

Your data is collected or used for the purpose of providing the service you require.

For the aforementioned purpose, your data may be passed on to service providers who support us and whom we have, of course, carefully selected and obliged to comply with data protection law. In particular, these may be technical service providers or shipping service providers (lettershop, etc.)

Otherwise, your data will only be passed on to other third parties if this is permitted by law or we have received your explicit consent to do so.

4. data protection consent

In addition to providing the services you have requested, we would like to offer you - naturally only if you have explicitly consented to this at a separate point - an Internet presence geared to your interests and occasionally send you news and information about us that may be of interest to you by post or e-mail (in the form of our newsletter) on the basis of your data and use your data for the necessary evaluation and for market research purposes. For this purpose, it is technically necessary for us to compile your data in user profiles and evaluate them for the aforementioned purposes. This is only done internally and only for the aforementioned purposes.

We may also require your consent for the publication of images that are subject to your copyright or on which you are depicted.

You can give your consent separately. You can subsequently revoke it at any time with effect for the future.

Consent with regard to cookies or advertising trackers is governed by § 6 of this declaration below.

Any further information is voluntary and will be used to address you personally and to personalise the content of the newsletter as well as to clarify any queries regarding the e-mail address.

For sending the newsletter, we generally use the so-called double opt-in procedure, i.e. we will only send you the newsletter if you first confirm your registration via a confirmation e-mail sent to you for this purpose using the link contained therein. In this way, we want to ensure that only you, as the owner of the specified e-mail address, can register for the newsletter. Your confirmation in this regard must be made promptly after receipt of the confirmation e-mail, as otherwise your newsletter registration will be automatically deleted from our database.

You can unsubscribe from a newsletter you have subscribed to at any time. To do so, you can either send us an informal e-mail or use the link at the end of the newsletter to cancel.
