Privacybeleid

Privacy is a matter of trust and we value your trust. We respect your privacy. Therefore we are keeping to the legal provisions when processing your personal information. You can visit our online store without providing any personal information, unless of course you’ve used a username and password to log in. You can print or save a copy of this document using the standard features of your web program or browser (for example, by selecting “File”-“Save As” ...).

Data registration and use

Order: your data will be recorded, stored and processed by us for the purpose of executing your order and any subsequent warranty as well as for the purpose of our service. In executing your order, the hereby engaged service providers (carriers, logistics companies and banks) will receive the necessary information. 

Customer login: your order data is indeed stored by us but cannot be obtained directly from us due to safety reasons. Every customer who registers for this purpose however, will be given instant access with a password. This allows you to view the information about your placed, open and/or recently shipped orders, address, bank details and newsletter. The customer is obliged to handle personal access information confidentially by not making it available to unauthorized third parties. We are not liable for the unauthorized use of passwords, unless the abuse is attributable to us.

Advertising: we use your information for advertising purposes, i.e. information about products from our offer. We hereby only use e-mail advertising, to the extent permitted by law or authorized by you.

Other data registration and other use: Website and newsletter: when you visit our website, certain data will be recorded and stored. For the purpose of the system´s safety, the domain name or the IP address of the computer to which the stored request originates will be saved temporarily. This data shall be erased after seven days at the latest. Even entered data, the date of the request, the HTTP response code and website from which the computer is on our website and the amount of transmitted data (bytes) are recorded and stored. For distributing our newsletter we use the “double opt-in” system. This means that we only send a newsletter when you confirm that we need to activate the newsletter service by clicking on   the link in our e-mail confirmation. And we also use your personal information to comply with the applicable laws and regulations.
