We process your data in compliance with the provisions of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and all other applicable laws.

This includes, for example, placing orders, internal sales, shipping and payment of merchandise or contract negotiations.
Unless you are not yourself a contracting party (for example, you are an employee of a business partner), processing for the same purposes takes place as a legitimate interest in accordance with Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. f GDPR. With your employer/client, we are in the initiation or execution phase of a contractual relationship as part of our business activities.

If necessary, we also process personal data to fulfill statutory requirements (Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. c GDPR) for the following purposes:

In addition, to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations, we sometimes use different external service providers who are required by data processing agreements to observe data protection laws, Article 4 No. 8 GDPR. These are service providers in the following areas

6. How long will your data be stored?
We process your personal data as long as it is necessary for the above referenced purposes. After completion of the business relationship your data will be stored as long as we are legally obligated to do so. This is regularly the result of legal proof and retention obligations, which are regulated in the Commercial Code and the Tax Code. According to these codes, the storage periods are up to ten years. In addition, it may be necessary to retain personal data for the time during which claims can be asserted against us (statutory limitation period of up to thirty years)]
7. Are you required to provide your data?
There is no contractual or legal obligation to provide personal data. However, without processing your personal data, we are not in a position to carry out the necessary pre-contractual measures or execute the contractual relationship with you or your employer/client.
8. Is your data transmitted to a third country?
To the extent necessary for the above purposes, we also transmit data to group companies or service providers outside the European Economic Area (EEA
This is done in compliance with data protection requirements, in particular the assurance of an adequate level of data protection. The assurance is provided by a suitable guarantee (e.g. in the form of a standard data protection clause according to Article 46 paragraph 2 lit. c GDPR, which is agreed with the respective recipient). You may request additional information, in particular copies of these appropriate guarantees, by using the contact details mentioned in section 2 below.]
9. Which data protection rights can you claim as the person affected?
You have the right to request information about the data stored about you, Art. 15 GDPR. In addition, you may request the rectification or erasure of your data, Art. 16, 17 GDPR. You may also be entitled to restrict the processing of your data and a right to release the data you provided in a structured, common, machine-readable format, provided this does not affect the rights and freedoms of others, Art. 18, 20 GDPR.
If you have given us consent to the processing of your personal data, you can revoke this consent at any time. The legality of the processing carried out based on the consent until the revocation remains unaffected.
To exercise your rights, please contact the responsible body or data protection officer listed under section 2.
In addition, you have a right of objection, which is explained in more detail at the end of this privacy policy.
You also have the option to file a complaint with a data protection authority, Art. 77 GDPR. The right of appeal is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy. The data protection authority responsible for us is:

Information about your right of objection according to Art. 21 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
For reasons that arise from your particular situation, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time pursuant to Article 6 para. 1 f of the GDPR (data processing on the basis of a balance of interests); this also applies to any profiling based on this provision as defined in Article 4 No. 4 GDPR.
If you file your objection, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can establish compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is for the purposes of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims.
In individual cases, we may also process your personal data in order to generate direct mail. You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data used for such advertising at any time; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct mail advertising.
