4) Contacting Us

When contacting us (e.g., via contact form or email), personal data is collected. The data collected in the contact form is evident from the respective form. This data is used exclusively to respond to your inquiry and for related technical administration. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your inquiry under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

In accordance with Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, personal data is collected and processed when you provide it to us for contract execution or opening a customer account. The required data is specified in the input forms. You can delete your customer account at any time by sending a request to the controller. After the contract is completed or your account is deleted, your data will be locked in accordance with tax and commercial retention periods and deleted after these periods, unless you have explicitly consented to further use of your data or we are legally allowed further data use.

If you sign up for our email newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers. The only required information is your email address.

To fulfill the contract, we pass your data to the shipping company responsible for delivery, as necessary. If payment service providers are used, we explicitly inform you. The legal basis for passing on data is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
