Revocation of your Consent to Data Processing
Some data processing is only possible with your explicit consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time. Simply send us an informal email to do so. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the legality of any data processing that occurred before the withdrawal.

Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive, or have transferred to a third party, data that we process automatically based on your consent or to fulfill a contract. This data will be provided in a machine-readable format. If you request that the data be transferred directly to another controller, we will only do so if it is technically possible.
Right to Information, Correction, Blocking, Deletion
You have the right to request information about your stored personal data, its origin, who receives it, and the purpose of its processing, all free of charge. You also have the right to correct, block, or delete this data at any time, as permitted by law.

SSL or TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential information you send to us as the site operator, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. This means that any data you send via this website is protected from being read by third parties. You can identify an encrypted connection by the "https://" in your browser's address bar and the lock symbol displayed in the browser.
Data transmission upon completion of the contract for the purchase and shipment of goods
Personal data will only be shared with third parties when it's necessary to fulfill the contract. These third parties may include payment service providers or logistics companies. Your data will not be shared further unless you have given your explicit consent.
The legal basis for data processing is Article 6, Paragraph 1, Letter b of the GDPR, which permits data processing necessary for the performance of a contract or to take steps prior to entering into a contract.

Cookies
Our website uses cookies. These are small text files that your web browser saves on your device. Cookies help us make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure.
Some cookies are known as “session cookies.” These are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Other cookies, however, will remain on your device until you delete them. These cookies help us recognize you when you return to our website.
Modern web browsers allow you to monitor, restrict, or prevent the placement of cookies. Many browsers can be set up to automatically delete cookies when the program is closed. Please note that disabling cookies may limit the functionality of our website.
The placement of cookies, which are essential for electronic communication or to provide specific features you request (like a shopping cart), is based on Article 6, Paragraph 1, Letter f of the GDPR. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure our services are provided smoothly and without technical issues.

Google Analytics
Our website uses features from Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc., located at 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics cookies are set based on Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize our website and advertising where necessary.
IP anonymization
We use Google Analytics with the IP anonymization feature. This ensures that Google shortens your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other countries that are part of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before sending it to the USA. In rare cases, Google might send the full IP address to a server in the USA and shorten it there. Google uses this information on our behalf to analyze how you use the website, create reports on website activity, and provide us with other services related to website activity and internet usage. The IP address sent by Google Analytics will not be combined with other data from Google.
Browser plug-in
You can prevent your web browser from setting cookies, but this might limit some features of our website. You can also prevent Google from collecting and processing data about your website usage, including your IP address.
