(1) Purpose of processing

Your personal data that you provide to us during the order process is necessary for the conclusion of a contract with us. You are not obligated to provide your personal data. However, without providing your address, we cannot send you the goods. For certain payment methods, we require the necessary payment data to be able to pass it on to a payment service provider commissioned by us. Therefore, the processing of the data you enter during the order process is carried out for the purpose of contract fulfillment.

(2) Legal basis

The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.

(3) Categories of recipients

Payment service providers, shipping service providers, if applicable, inventory management system, if applicable, suppliers (dropshipping).

(4) Storage period

We store the data required for contract processing until the expiration of the statutory warranty and, if applicable, contractual guarantee periods.

We retain the data required under commercial and tax law for the legally determined periods, usually ten years (see § 257 HGB, § 148 AO).

If your personal data is processed by us, you are considered a data subject under the GDPR, and you have the following rights against us:

1. Right to information

You can request confirmation from us as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed.

If such processing takes place, you can request information from us about the following:

(1) The purposes for which the personal data is processed; (2) The categories of personal data being processed; (3) The recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been or will be disclosed; (4) The planned duration of storage of the personal data concerning you or, if specific information is not possible, the criteria used to determine the storage period; (5) The existence of the right to rectify or erase personal data concerning you, the right to restrict the processing by us, or the right to object to such processing; (6) The existence of the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority; (7) All available information about the source of the data if the personal data was not collected from the data subject; (8) The existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR, and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.

You have the right to request information on whether the personal data concerning you is transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you can request to be informed about the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 of the GDPR relating to the transfer.

c) Exceptions

The right to erasure does not apply if processing is necessary:

(1) for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;

(2) for compliance with a legal obligation that requires processing under Union or Member State law to which we are subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us;

(3) for reasons of public interest in the area of public health, as specified in Article 9(2)(h) and (i) and Article 9(3) of the GDPR;

(4) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes, as outlined in Article 89(1) of the GDPR, if erasure is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of such processing as mentioned in Section a); or

(5) for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

6. Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance, provided that:

(1) the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, and

(2) the processing is carried out by automated means.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from us to another controller, where technically feasible. This right shall not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

The right to data portability does not apply to processing of personal data that is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us.

8. Right to Withdraw Consent

You have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of personal data at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

9. Automated Individual Decision-Making, Including Profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision:

(1) is necessary for entering into or performing a contract between you and us,

(2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which we are subject and which also provides for suitable measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests, or

(3) is based on your explicit consent.

However, these decisions shall not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in Article 9(1) of the GDPR, unless Article 9(2)(a) or (g) applies and suitable measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests have been taken.

With respect to the cases mentioned in (1) and (3), we shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests.
