2.5 Storage period and deletion of your personal data

We store your data collected for the purpose of contract processing until the expiry of the statutory or possible contractual warranty and guarantee rights. After expiry of this period, we retain the information of the contractual relationship required by commercial and tax law for the periods determined by law. For this period (regularly ten years from the conclusion of the contract), the data is processed again solely in the event of an audit by the tax authorities. With regard to other purposes pursued by us, please refer to the following provisions for the duration of storage.

  1. Data processing for the creation of a customer account

We do not set up customer accounts.

  1. Data processing for the handling of your order

If you buy products in our online store, we need your name, address and payment details, your e-mail address and a telephone number to process your order so that we can communicate with you. We also use the e-mail address for your identification (customer login). Furthermore, you will receive your order and shipping confirmation via your e-mail address. We process your data for the processing of your orders, including any subsequent returns and warranty cases. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (contract performance).

The legal basis for this transfer is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. A legitimate interest is given here, since the payment method “purchase on account” is associated with a credit risk for us. The aforementioned credit agencies process the data received and also use it for the purpose of profiling (scoring) in order to provide their contractual partners in the European Economic Area and Switzerland and, if applicable, other third countries (insofar as an adequacy decision of the European Commission exists for these) with information on, among other things, the assessment of the creditworthiness of natural persons. You can find more detailed information on the activities of the aforementioned credit agencies in the information sheets of the credit agencies pursuant to Art. 14 GDPR, which can be found under the above links.

  1. Data processing for contacting us and for customer support

You have several ways to contact us. You can reach our customer service by phone or by e-mail.

We use your data transmitted to us in connection with contacting you exclusively for the purpose of answering your inquiry. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) lit. b and f GDPR (contract performance and legitimate interest of processing inquiries and other requests). Your data will be deleted after your request has been processed, unless further storage is necessary to properly respond to your request (e.g. to process a customer complaint in the context of an order, see section 4 (Data processing for handling your order) above).

  1. Collection, processing and use of your personal data for advertising purposes

In addition to processing your data to set up a customer account, to process your orders and to handle your inquiries and other requests, we also use your data in accordance with the following clauses to communicate with you about your orders, certain products or marketing campaigns and to recommend products or services that may interest you.

6.1 Newsletter

The dispatch of our newsletter is based on your consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. To receive the newsletter, you must enter your e-mail address in the field provided for this purpose on our website. We will then send you a notification e-mail and ask you to confirm that you would like to receive our newsletter by clicking on a link contained in this e-mail (double opt-in). We will therefore only send you a newsletter by e-mail if you have previously expressly confirmed that you want us to activate the newsletter service.

You can revoke your consent to the processing of your data for newsletter dispatch at any time with effect for the future. For this purpose, it is sufficient to send a short note by e-mail to the e-mail address specified in section 11. Furthermore, you will find an unsubscribe link in every newsletter. Your data will be stored for the purpose of sending the newsletter for as long as the subscription to the newsletter exists.

In this way, we want to send you information about products from our range that might interest you based on your last purchases from us.

You can object to the processing of your data for sending product recommendations by e-mail at any time. To do so, simply send a short note by e-mail to the e-mail address specified in section 11. Furthermore, you will find an unsubscribe link in every e-mail with product recommendations.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The processing of existing customer data for advertising purposes is considered a legitimate interest.

We also send interested parties/customers our product catalog by mail upon request.

For this purpose, we collect and process your name and address as well as your e-mail address. We need your e-mail address in this context to check that you have not lodged an advertising objection. The legal basis for the aforementioned data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR. After sending the catalog, we delete your data collected on the basis of the catalog order.

The data collected in this context will only be stored for as long as is necessary to carry out the respective competition or promotion. After that, they will be deleted.

If you participate in a survey, we will process your data exclusively for internal purposes and to improve our services and our offering. The personal data you provide as part of the survey (name, e-mail address, your answers to the survey) are purely voluntary and the use of the offers is possible even if you do not participate in surveys. A possible publication of survey results will only take place in anonymized form.

We store your data processed in this context for as long as we need them to fulfill the processing purpose mentioned above. The legal basis for the aforementioned data processing is in each case Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest).

6.5 Right of objection

You can object to the use of data for advertising purposes at any time, free of charge, separately for the respective communication channel and with effect for the future. For this purpose, it is sufficient to send a message in text form (e-mail, fax, letter) to the contact details stated in section 11.

These cookies in particular serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective and secure. Thanks to these files, it is possible, for example, for you to receive information on the website that is specifically tailored to your interests.
