We appreciate your interest in our online shop. Protecting your privacy is very important to us. Below, we provide detailed information on how we handle your data.

1. Access Data and Hosting
You can visit our website without providing personal information. Each time a website is accessed, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file, which includes the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of the request, the amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the retrieval. These access data are used solely for the purpose of ensuring the trouble-free operation of the site and improving our services. This serves to protect our overriding legitimate interests in the correct representation of our offer according to Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

Hosting
The services for hosting and displaying the website are partially provided by our service providers within the framework of processing on our behalf.

6.3 Information on Third-Country Transfers (Data Transfer to Third Countries)

We use technologies from service providers on our website whose headquarters and/or server locations may be in third countries outside the EU or EEA. If there is no adequacy decision by the EU Commission for this country, an adequate level of data protection must be ensured by other appropriate safeguards.

Appropriate safeguards in the form of contractually agreed standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission or binding internal data protection rules (Binding Corporate Rules) are generally possible but require a prior review by the parties to the contract to ensure that an adequate level of protection can be guaranteed. According to the case law of the CJEU, it may be necessary to take additional protective measures.

We have generally agreed on the standard data protection clauses issued by the EU Commission with the technology providers we use who process personal data in a third country. Where possible, we also agree on additional safeguards to ensure adequate data protection in third countries without an adequacy decision.

However, it may happen that despite all contractual and technical measures, the level of data protection in the third country does not correspond to that of the EU. In these cases, if necessary, we request your consent under Art. 49 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR for the transfer of your personal data to a third country.

In particular, there is a risk that local authorities in the third country may have access rights to your personal data that are not sufficiently restricted from a European data protection perspective, which we as the data exporter or you as the data subject may not be aware of, and/or that you may not have adequate legal remedies to prevent or challenge such access.

Currently, the following countries are considered third countries without an adequacy decision by the EU Commission (examples):

China
Russia
Taiwan

You can find out which third countries data is transferred to in the privacy notices of the respective tools used or our consent management/service providers.

You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. Further information on how to withdraw your consent can be found in the section "Cookies and Other Technologies".
