Unless otherwise stated below, the provision of your personal data is not required by law or contract, nor is it necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the data. Failure to do so has no consequences. This only applies if no other information is provided in the subsequent processing operations.

“Personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Server log files

You can visit our website without providing any personal information.

Every time you access our website, usage data is transmitted to us or our web host / IT service provider by your Internet browser and stored in log data (so-called server log files). This stored data includes, for example, the name of the page accessed, the date and time of access, the IP address, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider. The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on our overriding legitimate interest in ensuring the trouble-free operation of our website and improving our offering.

Collection and processing when using the contact form

When you use the contact form, we collect your personal data (name, e-mail address, message text) only to the extent that you provide. The data processing serves the purpose of establishing contact. By sending your message, you consent to the processing of the data transmitted. The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR with your consent.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by notifying us without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. We will only use your e-mail address to process your request. Your data will then be deleted unless you have consented to further processing and use.

Collection, processing and disclosure of personal data for orders

When you place an order, we collect and process your personal data only to the extent necessary to fulfill and process your order and to process your inquiries. The provision of the data is necessary for the conclusion of the contract. Failure to do so means that no contract can be concluded. The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and is necessary for the performance of a contract with you.

Your data will be passed on, for example, to the shipping companies and dropshipping providers you have selected, payment service providers, service providers for order processing and IT service providers. In all cases, we strictly observe the legal requirements. The scope of data transmission is limited to a minimum.

Buyer seal customer rating

We use the Käufersiegel customer rating tool of Händlerbund Management AG (Torgauer Straße 233 B, 04347 Leipzig) on our website. After placing your order, we would like to ask you to rate and comment on your purchase.

For this purpose, we will contact you by e-mail, using the technical system of the provider of the buyer’s seal evaluation tool as part of order processing.

Your data is processed either with your consent or on the basis of our legitimate interest.

The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR with your consent, provided that you have expressly consented to receiving the evaluation request. You can withdraw your consent at any time by using the corresponding link in the email without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. Your e-mail address will then be removed from the mailing list.

Processing without explicit consent is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR from the legitimate interest in truthful, verified evaluations of our services in the context of direct advertising. For this purpose, we send you an electronic evaluation request for your own goods or services that you have already purchased from us. We will send it to the e-mail address that we received from you as part of the sale of a product or service. The sending of the evaluation request is subject to the proviso that you have not objected to this use of your e-mail address.

The objection is possible at any time by notifying us. The contact details for exercising your objection can be found in the legal notice. You can also use the link provided in the evaluation request. This does not incur any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates.

The personal data stored in this context in the technical system of the buyer’s seal evaluation tool will be deleted 3 months after the delivery of goods recorded for evaluation.
