Unless otherwise stated below, the provision of your personal data is neither legally nor contractually required, nor is it necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obligated to provide your data. Failure to provide your data will have no consequences. This only applies insofar as no other information is provided in the following processing descriptions.
"Personal data" refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
Server Log Files
You can visit our website without providing personal information.
Each time you access our website, your browser transmits usage data to us or our web hosting provider/IT service provider, which is stored in log files (so-called server log files). These stored data may include the name of the accessed page, the date and time of access, the IP address, the amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider.
The processing is carried out based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR due to our overriding legitimate interest in ensuring the smooth operation of our website and improving our services.
Orders and Customer Account
Customer Account
When you create a customer account, we collect your personal data to the extent specified in the account setup process. The purpose of data processing is to enhance your shopping experience and facilitate order processing. The processing is based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR with your consent.
You may withdraw your consent at any time by notifying us, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out based on consent before its withdrawal. Your customer account will then be deleted.
Collection, Processing, and Transfer of Personal Data for Orders
When you place an order, we collect and process your personal data only to the extent necessary for fulfilling and processing your order and handling your inquiries. Providing the data is necessary for concluding the contract. Failure to provide the data means that no contract can be concluded. The processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR and is required for contract fulfillment.
Your data may be transferred, for example, to the shipping company you select, dropshipping providers, payment service providers, order processing service providers, and IT service providers. In all cases, we strictly adhere to legal requirements, and the scope of the data transmitted is kept to a minimum.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by notifying us, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal. We use your email address solely to process your inquiry, after which your data will be deleted unless you have consented to further processing and use.
