Privacy
We solely use the personal information you gave us to process your order.
All customer information will be stored and processed by us in compliance with relevant regulations of the German Federal Privacy Act and the Teleservices Data Protection Act – actually, it is NOT stored at the webserver, it is transmitted through the filled-out form to us and stored at a private PC, used to handle the order.
You have anytime to get freely informed about your stored data, as well as the deletion. This just needs your request by mail.
We don’t share your personal data including your home address and e-mail address without your explicit and revocable consent to third parties.
Excluded from this are our service partners, who need information for order processing, e.g. the German Post and the cooperating Post Company in your country.
In these cases, the amount of information is limited to the necessary minimum.
No data concerning you and your order(s) are used or passed for advertising purposes, market research, etc.

Data protection regulation for citizens of the European Community
On May 25m 2018, a new EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) entered into force in the EU.

Affected are companies as well as public institutions that store or process personal data. There are no exceptions for companies or industries of different sizes. Moreover, not only companies that are based in the European Union are affected, but also all other companies who save and process such data from EU citizens.

Cookies
Like many other websites, we also use “cookies”. Cookies are small text files that are transferred from a website server to your hard drive. This automatically gives us certain data, such as IP address, browser used, operating system and your connection to the Internet.
Cookies can not be used to launch programs or to transfer viruses to a computer. Based on the information contained in cookies, we can facilitate navigation and enable the correct display of our websites.
Our set Cookie also prevents you to completely register again at your next login and order.
In no case will the data collected by us be passed on to third parties or a link with personal data will be established without your consent.
Of course, you can also view our website without cookies. Internet browsers are regularly set to accept cookies. In general, you can disable the use of cookies at any time through the settings of your browser. Please use the help features of your internet browser to find out how to change these settings.

Registration on our website
There is no option to register at our website. In the order form some of your personal information will be collected, such as name, address, contact and communication information such as e-mail address, and is transmitted to us by email – it is not stored at the server!
Of course, on request, we also provide you with information about the personal data we have kept from the order form at our private computer. We are happy to rectify or delete these at your request, as far as no statutory storage requirements preclude. To contact us in this context, please use the contact details given at the end of this Privacy Policy.

To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption techniques (such as SSL) over HTTPS.
Contact form
If you have questions of any kind contact us by e-mail or contact form, give us your consent for the purpose of establishing contact. This requires the specification of a valid e-mail address. This serves for the assignment of the request and the subsequent answering of the same. The specification of further data is optional. The information you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing the request and for possible follow-up questions. After completing the request your personal data will be deleted automatically, unless you registered yourself at our site as a customer.
Social plugins
Our websites use social plugins of the providers listed below. The plugins can be recognized by the fact that they are marked with the appropriate logo.
These plug-ins may be used to send information, which may include personal information, to the service provider and may be used by the service provider. We prevent the unconscious and unwanted collection and transmission of data to the service provider through a 2-click solution. To activate a desired social plugin, it must first be activated by clicking on the corresponding button. Only through this activation of the plugin is the detection of information and its transmission to the service provider triggered. We do not collect personally identifiable information by means of social plugins or their use.
We have no control over what data an enabled plugin collects and how it is used by the provider. At present, it must be assumed that a direct connection to the services of the provider will be expanded and at least the IP address and device-related information will be collected and used. It is also possible that the service providers try to save cookies on the computer used. Please refer to the privacy policy of the respective service provider to see which specific data is collected here and how it is used. Note: If you are logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook may identify you as a visitor to a particular page.
We have integrated the social media buttons of the following companies on our website:
Change of our privacy policy
We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy to always comply with the latest legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy, e.g. when introducing new services. Your new visit will be subject to the new privacy policy.
