We process this data for the purpose of fulfilling our service and for the communication with you required for this purpose (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b DSGVO). The provision of further data may be helpful for the provision of services or enquiries, but is not mandatory (voluntary information).
You can have your user account deleted at any time by sending an e-mail to us at the contact details given under “Person responsible”, if necessary in compliance with retention periods under tax and commercial law.
We use this data exclusively for the above-mentioned purposes. This data is not passed on to third parties or other companies, except to the logistics companies commissioned by us to carry out the dispatch.

You can enter your personal data on our website in order to contact us. Only the information below the data marked with an asterisk is mandatory. The provision of further data may be helpful for processing your enquiry, but is not mandatory (voluntary information). With your consent, this data will be used and stored exclusively for the purpose of processing your message (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO). It will not be used for other purposes or passed on to third parties unless you expressly agree to this (consent).
Cookies
Cookies are very small text files used by Internet sites, which your browser stores on your computer and can send certain information to us or, if applicable, to a third party.
Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close the browser. These include, in particular, session cookies. These store a so-called session ID, with which various requests from your browser can be assigned to the joint session. This enables your computer to be recognised when you return to our website. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or close the browser.
Persistent cookies are deleted automatically after a predefined period of time, which may differ depending on the cookie. Unlike transient cookies, deletion does not occur automatically when the browser is closed. However, you can also delete the cookies at any time in the security settings of your browser.
Cookies that are absolutely necessary to provide a service expressly requested by the user (“necessary cookies”) are processed by us within the scope of our legitimate interest in providing and operating the website on the basis of Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO. The following necessary cookies are set when you visit our website:
Designation: PS; Purpose: Session cookie for user login; Storage duration: Session.
Designation: PS; Purpose: to maintain the shopping basket; Storage period: Session
In addition, further information is stored or accessed on your terminal device that is not absolutely necessary to provide a service expressly requested by the user. This information is only stored or accessed if you give your consent. Details on the type of information, the purpose of the processing, the storage period of the information as well as possible recipients of the data can be found in the further course of this data protection declaration.
You can set your browser so that it generally does not accept cookies or only certain cookies are stored or not stored. You can revoke any consent you may have given to the processing of data by means of cookies at any time in the future by deleting the corresponding cookies directly via the settings of your browser. You can find out more about this in the help system of your browser. If your browser rejects all cookies, it is possible that not all functions of this website can be used.
To manage the cookies and similar technologies used (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) and related consents, we use the consent tool “Real Cookie Banner”. Details on how “Real Cookie Banner” works can be found at
https://devowl.io/rcb/data-processing/.
The legal bases for the processing of personal data in this context are Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR and Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the management of the cookies and similar technologies used and the related consents.
The provision of personal data is neither contractually required nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the personal data. If you do not provide the personal data, we will not be able to manage your consents.
Links to fan pages / social media platforms
In order to provide customers, partners or other interested parties with up-to-date information and to get in touch with them, we operate so-called “fan pages” on the following social networks in addition to our own website: LinkedIn, XING.
The data processing is carried out by the provider of the social media platform. Data processing outside the European Union cannot be ruled out. The provider of the platform may provide us with aggregated usage data, but we do not have access to personal data if you merely visit the fan page. The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. In the case of consent in the form of an opt-in (“tick box”, “activate button”) or any other form of obtaining consent, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. Consent can be revoked at any time without giving reasons vis-à-vis the person to whom it was given, with effect for the future.
Since the data processing is carried out by the provider of the platform, we recommend that you contact the respective provider of the platform for your rights to information, correction, deletion, data portability and objection in connection with your visit to our fan page. Of course, we will support you in exercising your rights if necessary. In addition, cookies may be set on your terminal device. You can find the purposes and legal basis for the use of cookies under “Cookies” in this data protection declaration or on the data protection declarations of the platform provider.
