Data privacy
Our website can normally be used without having to give any personal details. As far as personal data (such as name, address or e-mail address) are collected on our pages, this is, if possible, always effected on a voluntary basis. None of your data transmitted to us will be passed on to any third parties without your explicit approval. We must point out that the transfer of data via the internet (e.g. in communication by e-mail) can have security implications. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is impossible.
In general it is not necessary for you to reveal any personal data for the use of our website. However, in order to be able to actually provide our services, we may need your personal information. This applies to the sending of information material or ordered goods as well as the answering of individual enquiries.
If you ordered the provision of a service or the supply of goods with us, we collect and store your personal data only to the extent that is necessary for the provision of the service or the implementation of the contract.
Thus it can be necessary to pass your personal data on to companies we are working together with as far as the provision of the service or the implementation of the contract is concerned. These are, for example, transport companies or other services. If we take one of the below described actions or any other action or if we provide services, we shall collect and store your personal data. Your express permission will be asked for at the corresponding point in our website:
- transmission of newsletter
- competition participations
- credit or age verification to facilitate our services or methods of payment
- personalization of our website
- further services and offers, for the corresponding data collection your express permission is required.
After the implementation of the order has been completed your personal data will be blocked and erased after expiry of the tax and commercial law regulations, provided that you have not agreed expressly to the further use of your data.
Should you have registered for our newsletter with your email address, we will use your email address also after expiry of the contract period for own advertising purposes until you withdraw your entry for the newsletter.
Use of data for specified purposes
We comply with the principle of assigned use of data and we collect, process and store your personal data only for the purposes for which you provided them. We will not release your personal data to third parties without your express consent, unless this is necessary to provide the service or to perform the contract. Transfer of the data to state institutions and authorities entitled to receive the information will only be effected within the scope of the duty to furnish information, or if we are obligated to release the information by a court order. We also take the in-house protection of data very seriously. Our employees and the service providers acting on our behalf have been obligated by us to maintain confidentiality and to comply with the provisions of the data protection laws.
Right to information, right of revocation
You can obtain information at any time, free of charge and without having to state your reasons about your personal data that has been stored by us. You always may have your data blocked, corrected or deleted. Your consent to our collecting and storing data may also be revoked by you at any time, without having to state your reasons. For this purpose, we kindly ask you to contact the address indicated in the legal notice. We will always be glad to answer any question you may have regarding our data protection information and the processing of your personal data. Please note that provisions for data protection and applications as to privacy can continually change, e.g. at Google. Therefore it is advisable and necessary to keep yourself constantly updated with regard to changes of legal requirements and the companies' practice, e.g. Google.
