General Terms and Conditions (GTC) for deliveries (as at 16.10.2024)
Preamble
The providers of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
The use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. Insofar as personal data (e.g. name, address or e-mail addresses) is collected on our website, this is always done on a voluntary basis as far as possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.
Data security
This website uses the encryption protocol SSL (“Secure Sockets Layer”) or its further development TLS (“Transport Layer Security”). SSL ensures that data transmitted between the browser and the web server cannot be read or manipulated. Encryption algorithms are used to encode data during transmission. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://”.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

General information on data processingScope of the processing of personal data
We only process our users’ personal data insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The processing of our users’ personal data only takes place regularly with the user’s consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.
Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.
If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
Data erasure and storage duration
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Data may also be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or erased if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

AdWords – Google Conversion Tracking
This website uses Google Conversion Tracking, which is operated by Google (Google Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). Google Adwords generates a cookie (“conversion cookie”) if you have reached our website via a Google ad. This cookie loses its validity after 30 days and is not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of this offer while the cookie is still valid, the provider and Google can recognize that someone clicked on the ad and was redirected to our website. Each AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected is used for conversion statistics for AdWords customers. AdWords customers find out the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a website with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. You can also deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain “googleadservices.com”. You can find further information at:

To do this, your browser must establish a connection to Google’s servers, whereby Google will transmit your IP address. In this case, your personal data may also be transferred to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA. Our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR lies in the uniform and appealing presentation of our online offers.
If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font will be used by your computer.
