Mandatory data necessary for the processing of the contracts are marked separately, further data are voluntary. We process the personal data provided by you to process your order. To fulfill the contract, we pass on your personal data to the shipping company commissioned with the delivery, as far as this is necessary for the delivery of ordered goods. Depending on which payment service provider you select in the ordering process, we will pass on the payment data collected for this purpose to the credit institution commissioned with the payment and, if applicable, to the payment service provider commissioned by us or to the selected payment service for the processing of payments. In some cases, the selected payment service providers also collect this personal data themselves, if you open an account there. In this case you must log in to the payment service provider with your access data during the ordering process. In this respect, the privacy policy of the respective payment service provider applies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 Para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b DSGVO.

5. You can voluntarily create a customer account, through which we can store your personal data for future purchases. When you create an account under "Login/Register", the personal data you provide will be stored revocably.

The deletion of your customer account is possible at any time and can be done either by sending a message to the contact option described in this privacy policy or by using a function in the customer account provided for this purpose.

6. After complete processing of the contract or deletion of your customer account, we are obliged by commercial and tax law to store your address, payment and order data for a period of ten years. If you have not created a customer account, we will restrict processing after two years, i.e. your personal data will only be used to comply with legal obligations.

§ 8 Data security

We maintain current technical measures to ensure data security, in particular to protect your personal data from dangers during data transmission and from third parties gaining knowledge of it. These measures are adapted to the current state of the art. Your personal data, especially during the ordering process, is transmitted via the Internet using SSL encryption. We secure our website and other systems by technical and organizational measures against loss, destruction, access, modification, or distribution of your personal data by unauthorized persons. If you have a customer account, access to your customer account is only possible after entering your e-mail address and your personal password. You should therefore always treat your access information confidentially, not pass it on and close the browser window when you have finished communicating with us. This applies in particular if you use the computer together with other persons.

§ 9 Our payment providers

1. PayPal

a) On our website we offer payment via PayPal. Provider of this payment service is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg.

b) If you pay via PayPal, the payment data you enter will be transmitted to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, the person concerned agrees to the transfer of personal data required for the processing of the payment. The personal data transmitted to PayPal is usually first name, last name, address, e-mail address, IP address, telephone number, cell phone number, or other personal data necessary for processing the payment. For the processing of the purchase contract, such personal data is also necessary in connection with the respective order. The transmission of your personal data to PayPal is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO (consent) and Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b DSGVO (processing for the purpose of fulfilling a contract).

b) Payments are processed via so-called PayPal accounts, which are virtual private or business accounts. In addition, PayPal offers the possibility to process virtual payments via credit cards if a user does not have a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed via an e-mail address, which is why there is no classic account number. PayPal makes it possible to trigger online payments to third parties or to receive payments. PayPal also assumes trustee functions and offers buyer protection services. If the person concerned selects "PayPal" as a payment option during the ordering process in our online store, data of the person concerned is automatically transmitted to PayPal.

c) The transmission of personal data is intended for payment processing and fraud prevention. The person responsible for processing will transmit personal data to PayPal in particular if there is a legitimate interest in the transmission. The personal data exchanged between PayPal and the data controller may be transmitted by PayPal to credit agencies. The purpose of this transmission is to check identity and creditworthiness. PayPal may share the personal data with affiliated companies and service providers or subcontractors to the extent necessary to fulfil contractual obligations or if the personal data is to be processed by order. The person concerned has the possibility to revoke his or her consent to PayPal's handling of personal data at any time. Revocation does not affect personal data that must be processed, used or transmitted for the (contractual) handling of payments.
