The following provisions serve to inform you about the processing of personal data in accordance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), in particular taking into account the information obligations pursuant to Articles 12 to 14 GDPR, as well as to inform you about the data subject rights existing under the GDPR pursuant to Articles 15 to 22 and Article 34 GDPR.
Handling of personal data
As a matter of principle, we collect and use personal data of our website users only to the extent that this is necessary for the provision of a functional website as well as our content and services. The collection and use of personal data of our users is regularly only carried out with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases in which it is not possible to obtain prior consent for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations.
The following legal bases come into consideration fundamentally for the processing of personal data:
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations of personal data, Art.6 para.1 lit. a) EU Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO) serves as the legal basis.
When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art.6 para.1 lit. b) DSGVO serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.
If processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art.6 para.1 lit. c) DSGVO serves as the legal basis.
If processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests of the user concerned (fundamental rights and freedoms) do not outweigh the former interest, Art.6 para.1 lit. f) DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing.
Legitimate interests for processing according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) are in particular:
the response to inquiries,
the implementation of direct marketing measures, e.g. in the context of online sales of catalogs and other publications
the provision of services and/or information intended for you
the processing and transfer of personal data for internal or administrative purposes
the efficient operation and management of our website or parts of it,
the technical support of the users,
the prevention and detection of fraud and crime,
the protection against payment defaults when obtaining credit information for requests for deliveries and services, and/or
the guarantee of network and data security, insofar as these interests are in each case consistent with the applicable law and with the rights and freedom of the user.

The provider uses the log data only for statistical analysis for the purpose of operation, security and optimization of the offer. However, the provider reserves the right to check the log data retrospectively if there is a justified suspicion of unlawful use based on concrete indications.
