If you use our website for informational purposes only (i.e., if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information), we only collect data that your browser transmits to our server (so-called "server log files"). When you access our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary to display the website properly:

Processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR based on our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data is neither shared nor otherwise used. However, we reserve the right to review server log files if specific indications suggest unlawful use.

2.2

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of personal data and other confidential content (e.g., orders or inquiries to the controller), this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the "https://" in your browser’s address bar and the padlock icon.

3) Cookies

To make visiting our website more attractive and enable certain functions, we use cookies—small text files stored on your device. Some of these cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser ("session cookies"), while others remain on your device for a longer period, allowing the website to save your settings ("persistent cookies"). The storage duration of persistent cookies can be found in your browser’s cookie settings.

If personal data is processed through individual cookies, processing is carried out in accordance with:

- Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for contract execution,

When you contact us (e.g., via contact form or email), we process personal data solely to handle and respond to your inquiry, using only the required extent of data.

The legal basis for processing these data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request, as per Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If your inquiry aims at a contractual agreement, an additional legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted once the matter is fully resolved and if no legal retention obligations exist.

You can request account deletion at any time by contacting the above-mentioned controller. Once your account is deleted, your data will be erased, provided all related contracts are fulfilled, no legal retention obligations exist, and we have no legitimate interest in further data storage.

6) Data Processing for Order Fulfillment

To fulfill our contractual obligations regarding delivery and payment, we may share your personal data, as necessary, with shipping service providers and financial institutions in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

If we owe you updates for products with digital elements, we will use the contact details provided during your purchase (name, address, email) to inform you of necessary updates as required by law, as per Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Your contact details will be used strictly for this purpose.

For payment options where we offer prepayment, additional personal information (name, address, birthdate, email, phone number, alternative payment method data) may be requested for a creditworthiness check under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
