Thank you for visiting our online shop. Protecting your privacy is very important to us. Below, we provide detailed information about the handling of your data.
1. Access Data and Hosting
You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. Each time a website is accessed, the web server automatically stores a so-called server log file, which contains the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider (access data), and documents the access.
This access data is evaluated solely for the purpose of ensuring the smooth operation of the site and improving our offer. This serves to protect our legitimate interests in a correct presentation of our offer, which prevail within the scope of a balancing of interests, according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO. All access data will be deleted no later than seven days after the end of your site visit.
