Data we collect directly
Personal Information is processed depending on the contact method.

We are present on social media (currently Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube) on the basis of our legitimate interests. If you contact or connect with us via social media platforms, we and the relevant social media platform are jointly responsible for the processing of your data and enter into a so-called joint controller agreement.

We store the data you enter to set up a customer account through which your orders are recorded, executed, and processed. We will hold your data for further orders as long as you have your account with us. The legal basis for the data processing is our contract and the fulfillment of our legal obligations.
If you make a purchase your payment will be processed via our payment service providers Stripe, Google Pay, Apple Pay, or PayPal. Payment data will solely be processed through the by your selected payment service provider, and we have no access to any Payment Data you may submit.

By making a purchase, we will need to send you because of our legal obligation invoice and other contractual documents, and for this purpose, we will use your e-mail address. Equally, you may also sign up for our newsletter. Those typically include administrative information as well as service and product updates. We use MailPoet (Automattic Inc.) for the dispatch of these e-mails. The legal bases are to provide you with our services, our legal obligation, and your consent in the case of the newsletter.
Insofar as you have given us your separate consent to process your data for marketing and advertising purposes, we are entitled to contact you for these purposes via the communication channels you have given your consent to.
You may give us your consent in a number of ways including by selecting a box on a form where we seek your permission to send you marketing information, or sometimes your consent is implied from your interactions or contractual relationship with us. Where your consent is implied, it is on the basis that you would have a reasonable expectation of receiving marketing communication based on your interactions or contractual relationship with us.
Direct Marketing generally takes the form of e-mail but may also include other less traditional or emerging channels. These forms of contact will be managed by us or by our contracted service providers. Every directly addressed marketing sent or made by us or on our behalf will include a means by which you may unsubscribe or opt-out.
Principles of Processing Personal Information
At the time of data collection, for example, in the context of a contractual relationship, we process and store Personal Information from you. We process and store your Personal Information only to achieve the respective processing purpose or for as long as a legal retention period exists. Once the purpose has been achieved or the retention period has expired, the corresponding data is routinely deleted.
Our website uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login data, or contact requests that you send to us. We have also implemented numerous security measures (“technical and organizational measures”), for example, encryption or need-to-know access, to ensure the most complete protection of Personal Information processed through this website.
Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can always have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. And databases or data sets that include Personal Information may be breached inadvertently or through wrongful intrusion. Upon becoming aware of a data breach, we will notify all affected individuals whose Personal Information may have been compromised as expeditiously as possible after which the breach was discovered.
Unless specifically required when using our services and explicit consent is obtained for that service, we do not process special category data.
We do not request Personal Information from minors and children and do not knowingly collect such data or pass it on to third parties.
- Automated decision-making
Automated decision-making is the process of making a decision by automated means without any human involvement. Automated decision-making, including profiling, does not take place.
We do not sell your Personal Information.
We will not disclose or otherwise distribute your Personal Information to third parties unless this is i) necessary for the performance of our services, including our overseas fulfillment and shipping forwards, ii) you have consented to the disclosure, iii) or if we are legally obliged to do so, e.g., by court order or if this is necessary to support criminal or legal investigations or other legal investigations or other legal proceedings; or proceedings at home or abroad or to fulfill our legitimate interests.
We may transfer your Personal Information to other companies as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. In order to provide adequate protection for your Personal Information when it is transferred, we have contractual arrangements regarding such transfers. We take all reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the Personal Information we transfer.
