Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy
Unless otherwise stated below, the provision of your personal data is neither legally nor contractually required, nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obligated to provide your data. Failure to provide it will have no consequences. This only applies insofar as no other indication is given for the individual processing activities described below.
“Personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
You may visit our website without providing any personal information.
Each time you access our website, usage data is transmitted to us or our web hosting provider by your internet browser and stored in server log files. These files may include: the name of the accessed page, date and time of access, IP address, amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider.
This processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR and serves our legitimate interest in ensuring the reliable operation and improvement of our website.
Please note: Your data may be transferred to Canada. For data transfers to Canada, an adequacy decision by the European Commission is in place.
If you contact us via email on your own initiative, we collect your personal data (e.g. name, email address, message content) only to the extent provided by you.
The data is processed to respond to and manage your request.
If your contact is related to pre-contractual steps (e.g. purchase inquiries, quote requests) or an existing contract, data processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
For all other contact reasons, data processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, representing our legitimate interest in responding to your inquiry.
In the latter case, you have the right to object at any time to this processing of your personal data based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, due to reasons arising from your specific situation. We will use your email address only to process your request. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your inquiry unless you have consented to further use.
Orders
Collection, Processing & Disclosure of Personal Data in Orders
When you place an order, we collect and process your personal data only as required to fulfill and manage your order, as well as respond to related inquiries.
Providing your data is necessary for the contract. Without this, no contract can be concluded.
Processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
Your data may be shared with logistics providers, dropshipping partners, payment processors, and service providers involved in order processing and IT support — only to the extent necessary and in compliance with legal requirements.
Note: Data may be transferred to Canada. An adequacy decision by the European Commission is in place for such transfers.
Rights of the Data Subject & Retention Period
Data Retention
After full contract fulfillment, data will be stored for the duration of legal warranty periods, then archived for statutory retention periods (e.g. tax and commercial laws) before deletion, unless you have consented to extended use.
Your Rights
Under Articles 15 to 20 GDPR, you have the right to:
-
Access your personal data
-
Rectify inaccurate data
-
Delete your data
-
Restrict processing
-
Data portability
Under Article 21(1) GDPR, you also have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR), including for direct marketing purposes.
Right to Object
If the processing of your personal data is based on our legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, you have the right to object at any time, for reasons related to your particular situation, with future effect.
If you object, we will stop processing your data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or if the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
