This is how we collect and use your data

During processing, we comply with the legal provisions of the relevant data protection laws, such as: B. the Telemedia Act and the newly coming into force EU GDPR. We collect, store and process your data for the fulfillment of the contract, ie for the entire processing of your request or purchase, including any subsequent warranties, for our services and technical administration. If we collect or process data for marketing purposes, you will be notified separately at the appropriate place.

Contact forms

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored in order to process the request and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this information without your consent. If you send us an e-mail via a contact form, we collect the following data:

An informal message by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

The information you provide in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or delete the purpose for data storage (for example, after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions - especially retention periods - remain unaffected.

By way of exception, we may also save your personal information for longer. These include z. For example, personal information that needs to be kept longer due to litigation. We also keep your information for the prevention of fraud and misuse, despite the deletion of your account. If we no longer need your personal data, it will be deleted professionally.

Data transfer to third parties

We do not pass on your data without authorization to third parties. We use contractors to fulfill ancillary services, such as: B. Transport or telecommunications service providers and contractors whose services relate directly to the provision of the service. Outsourcing this activity to third parties is only possible under strict conditions.

In order to complete the customer service and process your request by email, we may transfer personal information to the following companies:

• Shipping service providers (such as freight forwarders or DHL)
• Partner companies in the course of a third-party business
• In some cases, to law enforcement agencies and anti-fraud agencies, so we can tackle fraud

The data passed on in this way may only be used by our service providers for the purpose of fulfilling their task, that is, earmarked. Any other use of the information is not permitted and does not occur with any of the service providers entrusted by us.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, in itself or to a third party in a standard, machine-readable format. If you require the direct transfer of data to another person in charge, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.
