In order to protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g. SSL or TSL) via HTTPS. We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by email) can have security gaps. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.

2. Data collection when you visit our web shop
Every time you visit our website, our system automatically records data and information that your browser transmits to our server (so-called “server log files”). The following data that is technically necessary for us is collected:

– Our website visited
– Date and time at the time of your access
– Amount of data sent in bytes
– Source / reference from which you came to the page
– Operating system used
– Browser used
– IP address used (possibly in anonymous form)

The legal basis for processing is Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit, f GDPR due to our legitimate interest in improving the stability and maintaining the functionality of our web shop. The data will not be passed on or used in any other way. The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user’s computer. For this, the user’s IP address must be stored for the duration of the session. We reserve the right to check the server log files retrospectively if there are concrete indications of illegal use. The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the web shop, this is the case when the respective session has ended. If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated so that it is no longer possible to assign the accessing client. The collection of the data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. There is consequently no possibility of objection on the part of the user.
