your data. Not providing it will have no consequences. This only applies as long as the processing
procedures below do not state otherwise.
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

This stored data includes e.g. name of the site called up, date and time of the request, amount of

operation of our website and to improve our offering. It is not possible to assign this data to a particular person.

Collection, processing, and use of personal data in orders

When you submit an order, we only collect and use your personal data where this is necessary for the

Failure to provide it will prevent the conclusion of any contract. The processing will occur on the basis

to a minimum.

We use your email address outside of contractual processing exclusively to send you a newsletter
for our own marketing purposes, if you have explicitly agreed to this. The processing will be carried out on
the basis of art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR with your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time without
affecting the legality of the processing carried out with your consent up to the withdrawal. You can
unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the relevant link in the newsletter or by contacting us.
Your email address will then be removed from the distributor.
 
Forwarding of your email address to shipping companies for information on shipping status

We forward your email address to the shipping company in the course of contractual processing,

you by email on the shipping status of your order. The processing will be carried out on the basis
