What are personal data
Personal data means any information that discloses or can disclose the identity of the user. We adhere to the principle of data avoidance. Wherever possible, we dispense with the collection of personal data.

Handling of personal data
Personal data are used solely in connection with the establishment, content-related design, or execution and implementation of the contractual relationship (Art. 6 I b General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR).  As a matter of principle, they shall not be transmitted to third parties. The data shall be transmitted to the shipping company entrusted with the delivery merely for the purpose of the performance of the contract, as far as this is necessary for the delivery of ordered goods.  For the handling of payments, the payment data necessary for this purpose shall be transmitted to the financial institution entrusted with the payment and, where applicable, to the authorized and selected payment service provider. Your personal data shall be processed exclusively within the EU.

Usage data
When the website is visited, general technical information is recorded. These data include the IP address used, the time and duration of the visit, the browser type, and, where applicable, the referring site. For technical reasons, these usage data are registered in a log file and may be used and saved for the purpose of the statistical evaluation of this website.  These usage data are not linked with your further personal data in any way.

You shall have the right to demand from us the immediate erasure of the personal data concerning you. We are obliged to erase these data without undue delay, in particular whenever one of the following reasons applies:

• You withdraw your consent on which the processing of your data was based and there is no other legal ground for the processing.
• Your data were unlawfully processed.

The right to erasure does not apply if your personal data are necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of our legal claims.

• you contest the accuracy of the data and we therefore verify the accuracy,
• the processing is unlawful, and you oppose the erasure of your personal data and request the restriction of their use instead,
• we no longer need the data, but you need them for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims,
• if you have filed an objection to the processing of your data and it has not yet been determined whether our legitimate reasons outweigh your reasons.

Right to data transferability 
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format. In addition, you have the right to pass these data on to another person in charge without any obstruction by us, provided that the processing is based on consent or on a contract and the processing is carried out by us by means of automated methods.

Right of revocation   
If the processing of your personal data is based on consent, you shall have the right to revoke this consent at any time.

General remarks and right to appeal
