We are delighted about your interest in our online shop. Protecting your privacy is very important to us. Below, we provide detailed information about how we handle your data.
1. Access Data and Hosting
You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. Each time a website is accessed, the web server automatically stores a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the access. This access data is evaluated solely to ensure the trouble-free operation of the site and to improve our services. This serves to protect our legitimate interests, which prevail in the context of a balancing of interests, in the correct presentation of our offer in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. All access data is processed only for as long as necessary to achieve the aforementioned processing purposes.
The hosting services and display of the website are partly provided by our service providers as part of processing on our behalf. Unless otherwise stated in this privacy policy, all access data and all data collected in forms provided for this purpose on this website are processed on their servers.

6.3 Information on Third-Country Transfers (Data Transfer to Third Countries)
We use technologies from service providers on our website whose headquarters and/or server locations may be in third countries outside the EU or EEA. If there is no adequacy decision by the EU Commission for this country, an adequate level of data protection must be ensured by other suitable safeguards.
Suitable safeguards in the form of contractually agreed standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission or binding corporate rules are generally possible but require prior verification by the contracting parties to ensure an adequate level of protection. According to ECJ case law, it may be necessary to take additional protective measures.
We have generally agreed on the standard data protection clauses issued by the EU Commission with the technology providers we use that process personal data in a third country. Where possible, we also agree on additional safeguards to ensure adequate data protection in third countries without an adequacy decision.
Nevertheless, it may happen that, despite all contractual and technical measures, the level of data protection in the third country does not correspond to that of the EU. In such cases, we ask for your consent, if necessary, in the context of cookie consent, in accordance with Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR for the transfer of your personal data to a third country.
There is, in particular, the risk that local authorities in the third country may have insufficiently restricted access rights to your personal data from a European data protection perspective, that we as the data exporter or you as the data subject may not be aware of this, and/or that you may not have sufficient legal remedies available to prevent or take action against such access.
In particular, the following countries are currently considered third countries without an adequacy decision by the EU Commission (non-exhaustive list):
-
China
-
Russia
-
Taiwan
You can find out which third countries we transfer data to in the data protection information for the respective tool and/or service used by us for consent management/Consent Manager Platform (CMP).
