The data transmitted by you in order to make use of our range of goods and/or services are processed by us for the purpose of contract processing and are necessary to this extent. Conclusion and processing of the contract are not possible without the provision of your data.
The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
We delete the data once the contract has been fully processed, but in doing so we must observe the retention periods under tax and commercial law.
Within the scope of contract processing, we pass on your data to the transport company commissioned with the delivery of goods or to the financial service provider, insofar as the transfer is necessary for the delivery of goods or for payment purposes.
The legal basis for the transfer of data is then Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

At the same time, we also store your IP address and the date of your registration together with the time of day. Of course, this data will not be passed on to third parties.
In the course of the further registration process, your consent to this processing is obtained and reference is made to this Privacy Policy. The data collected by us in this process will be used exclusively for the provision of the services.
Insofar as you consent to this processing, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis for the processing.
If the opening of the customer account also serves pre-contractual measures or the fulfilment of the contract, the legal basis for this processing is also Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
In accordance with Art. 7 (3) of the GDPR, you can revoke your consent to the opening and maintenance of the customer account at any time with effect for the future. To do so, you only need to inform us of your revocation.
The data collected in this respect will be deleted as soon as processing is no longer necessary. However, we must observe retention periods under tax and commercial law.

The provision of the data is necessary for the processing and answering of your enquiry - without the provision of this data we cannot answer your enquiry or at best only to a limited extent.
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
Your data will be deleted if your enquiry has been conclusively answered and the deletion does not conflict with any legal obligations to retain data, e.g. in the case of any subsequent contract processing.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics on our website. This is a web analysis service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as "Google".
Google guarantees that the data protection requirements of the EU are also complied with when processing data in the USA. The Google Analytics service is used to analyse the usage behaviour of our website. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our website. Usage and user-related information, such as IP address, location, time or frequency of visits to our website, is transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, we use Google Analytics with the so-called anonymisation function. This function enables Google to truncate the IP address within the EU or EEA.
The data collected in this way is in turn used by Google to provide us with an evaluation of visits to our website and of the usage activities there. This data may also be used to provide other services related to the use of our website and the use of the internet. Google states that it will not associate your IP address with any other data. In addition, Google keeps a record of your IP address . Google also offers a so-called deactivation add-on together with further information on this. This add-on can be installed with the usual Internet browsers and offers you further control over the data that Google collects when you call up our website. The add-on informs the JavaScript (ga.js) of Google Analytics that information about your visit to our website should not be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analytics services.
IV. Retention, Sharing and Security

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, the data processed by us will be deleted or restricted in their processing in accordance with Art. 17 and 18 GDPR.
