Relevant legal basesIn accordance with Art. 13 GDPR, we inform you about the legal bases of our data processing. Unless the legal basis is mentioned in the privacy policy, the following applies: The legal basis for obtaining consent is Art. 6 (1) lit. a and Art. 7 DSGVO, the legal basis for processing for the performance of our services and the execution of contractual measures as well as for responding to inquiries is Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO, the legal basis for processing to comply with our legal obligations is Art. 6 (1) lit. c DSGVO, and the legal basis for processing to safeguard our legitimate interests is Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) lit. d DSGVO serves as the legal basis.


Security measuresIn accordance with Art. 32 DSGVO and taking into account the state of the art, the implementation costs and the nature, scope, circumstances and purposes of the processing as well as the varying likelihood and severity of the risk for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, we implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk.


The measures include, in particular, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data by controlling physical access to the data as well as access, input, disclosure, availability, and separation. Furthermore, we have established procedures that ensure the exercise of data subjects' rights, deletion of data, and response to data breaches. We also consider the protection of personal data in the development or selection of hardware, software, and procedures, in accordance with the principle of data protection by design and by default (Art. 25 DSGVO).

Cooperation with processors and third partiesIf, as part of our processing, we disclose data to other individuals and companies (processors or third parties), transmit them to them, or otherwise grant them access to the data, this is only done on the basis of a legal permission (e.g., if a transmission of the data to third parties, such as payment service providers, pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO is necessary for contract fulfillment), you have consented to it, a legal obligation provides for it, or on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g., when using agents, web hosts, etc.).


If we engage third parties to process data based on a so-called "data processing agreement," we do so on the basis of Art. 28 of the DSGVO.


Transfers to third countries

Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we only process or have the data processed in a third country if the special requirements of Art. 44 et seq. of the DSGVO are met. This means, for example, that processing is based on special guarantees, such as the officially recognized determination of a level of data protection equivalent to that of the EU (e.g., for the USA through the "Privacy Shield"), or compliance with officially recognized special contractual obligations (so-called "standard contractual clauses").

Cookies and Right to Object to Direct Marketing

As "cookies" are referred to small files that are stored on users' computers. Different information can be stored within cookies. A cookie primarily serves to store information about a user (or the device on which the cookie is stored) during or even after their visit within an online offering. Cookies that are deleted after a user leaves an online offering and closes their browser are referred to as temporary cookies, or "session cookies" or "transient cookies." Such a cookie can store, for example, the contents of a shopping cart in an online store or a login status. Cookies that remain stored even after the browser is closed are referred to as "permanent" or "persistent." For example, the login status can be stored if users visit it after several days. The interests of the users can also be stored in such a cookie and used for reach measurement or marketing purposes. Cookies offered by other providers than the controller who operates the online offering are referred to as "third-party cookies" (otherwise, if they are only the controller's cookies, they are referred to as "first-party cookies").


We may use temporary and permanent cookies and inform about this in our privacy policy.


If users do not want cookies to be stored on their computer, they are requested to disable the corresponding option in their browser's system settings. Stored cookies can be deleted in the browser's system settings. The exclusion of cookies may result in functional limitations of this online service.

A general objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes, especially in the case of tracking, can be made through the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be achieved by disabling them in the browser settings. Please note that this may prevent certain features of this online service from being used.


Deletion of Data

The data processed by us will be deleted or restricted in processing according to Articles 17 and 18 of the DSGVO. Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy, the data stored with us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for its intended purpose and there are no legal retention obligations. If the data is not deleted because it is required for other and legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted. This means that the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be kept for commercial or tax reasons.


According to legal requirements in Germany, data must be stored in particular for 10 years in accordance with §§ 147 para. 1 AO, 257 para. 1 no. 1 and 4, para. 4 HGB (books, records, management reports, accounting documents, commercial books, documents relevant for taxation, etc.) and for 6 years in accordance with § 257 para. 1 no. 2 and 3, para. 4 HGB (commercial letters).


According to legal requirements in Austria, storage is carried out for 7 years in particular according to § 132 para. 1 BAO (accounting documents, receipts/invoices, accounts, receipts, business documents, income and expenditure statements, etc.), for 22 years in connection with real estate, and for 10 years in relation to electronically provided services, telecommunications, broadcasting and television services provided to non-entrepreneurs in EU Member States and for which the Mini-One-Stop-Shop (MOSS) is used.

Business-related processingIn addition, we process

  • contract data (e.g. subject matter of the contract, term, customer category).
  • payment data (e.g. bank details, payment history)from our customers, prospects and business partners for the purpose of providing contractual services, service and customer care, marketing, advertising and market research.

Order processing in the online shop and customer accountWe process the data of our customers as part of the order process in our online shop in order to enable them to select and order the chosen products and services, as well as to pay for and deliver or execute them.

The processed data includes inventory data, communication data, contract data, payment data, and the persons affected by the processing include our customers, prospects and other business partners. The processing is carried out for the purpose of providing contractual services within the framework of operating an online shop, billing, delivery and customer service. Here, we use session cookies to store the contents of the shopping cart and permanent cookies to store the login status.


The processed data includes inventory data, communication data, contract data, payment data, and the persons affected by the processing are our customers, prospective customers, and other business partners. The processing is carried out for the purpose of providing contract services in the context of operating an online shop, billing, delivery, and customer services. In this process, we use session cookies to store the contents of the shopping cart and permanent cookies to store the login status.


The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b (performance of order processing) and c (legally required archiving) of the GDPR. The information marked as required is necessary for the establishment and fulfillment of the contract. We only disclose the data to third parties in the context of delivery, payment, or within the scope of legal permissions and obligations to legal advisors and authorities. The data will only be processed in third countries if this is necessary for the fulfillment of the contract (e.g. at the request of the customer for delivery or payment).


Users can optionally create a user account, where they can view their orders. As part of the registration, users will be informed about the necessary mandatory information. The user accounts are not public and cannot be indexed by search engines. If users have terminated their user account, their data related to the user account will be deleted, subject to the retention period required for commercial or tax reasons in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO. Information in the customer account will remain until it is deleted, followed by archiving in the event of a legal obligation. It is up to the users to secure their data before the end of the contract in the event of termination.


As part of the registration, re-registration, and use of our online services, we store the IP address and the time of the respective user action. The storage is based on our legitimate interests, as well as the users' interest in protection against misuse and other unauthorized use. In principle, we do not pass on this data to third parties, unless it is necessary to pursue our claims or there is a legal obligation to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO.


The deletion takes place after the expiration of statutory warranty and similar obligations; the necessity of data retention is reviewed every three years. In the case of legal archiving obligations, deletion occurs after their expiration (end of commercial (6 years) and tax (10 years) retention obligations).


External payment service providers: We use external payment service providers through whose platforms users and we can conduct payment transactions (e.g., with links to the privacy policy, Paypal (https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full), Klarna (https://www.klarna.com/de/datenschutz/), Skrill (https://www.skrill.com/de/fusszeile/datenschutzrichtlinie/), Giropay (https://www.giropay.de/rechtliches/datenschutz-agb/), Visa (https://www.visa.de/datenschutz), Mastercard (https://www.mastercard.de/de-de/datenschutz.html), American Express (https://www.americanexpress.com/de/content/privacy-policy-statement.html)).


In fulfilling contracts, we use payment service providers based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b. DSGVO. Otherwise, we use external payment service providers based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO in order to provide our users with effective and secure payment options.


The data processed by the payment service providers include inventory data such as name and address, bank data such as account or credit card numbers, passwords, TANs, and checksums, as well as contract, sum, and recipient-related information. The information is necessary to carry out the transactions. However, the data entered is only processed and stored by the payment service providers. In other words, we do not receive any account or credit card-related information, but only information confirming or denying the payment. Under certain circumstances, the data may be transmitted to credit reporting agencies by the payment service providers. This transmission serves the purpose of identity and credit checks. We refer to the terms and privacy policies of the payment service providers for further information.

For payment transactions, the terms and conditions and privacy policies of the respective payment service providers apply, which can be accessed within the respective websites or transaction applications. We also refer to these for further information and to exercise withdrawal, information, and other data subject rights.


Administration, financial accounting, office organization, contact management: We process data in the context of administrative tasks as well as organization of our business, financial accounting, and compliance with legal obligations, such as archiving. In doing so, we process the same data that we process in the course of providing our contractual services. The processing bases are Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c. DSGVO, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO. Customers, prospective customers, business partners, and website visitors are affected by the processing. The purpose and our interest in processing lies in the administration, financial accounting, office organization, archiving of data, i.e. tasks that serve to maintain our business activities, perform our tasks, and provide our services. The deletion of data with regard to contractual services and contractual communication corresponds to the information provided in connection with these processing activities.


We disclose or transmit data to the tax authorities, consultants such as tax consultants or auditors, as well as other fee agencies and payment service providers.


Furthermore, based on our business interests, we store information about suppliers, organizers, and other business partners, for example, for later contact. We generally store these mostly company-related data permanently.


ContactWhen contacting us (e.g. via contact form, email, telephone, or via social media), the user's details are processed in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b. (in the context of contractual/pre-contractual relationships), Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. (other inquiries) DSGVO for the purpose of processing the contact request and its handling. The users' information may be stored in a customer relationship management system ("CRM system") or a comparable request organization.
