The provider collects data about each access to the online offer (so-called server log files). The access data includes the name of the website accessed, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user's operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider. The provider uses the log data without attribution to the person of the user or other profiling in accordance with the legal provisions only for statistical analysis for the purpose of operation, security and optimization of the online offer. However, the provider reserves the right to check the log data retrospectively if there is a justified suspicion of illegal use based on concrete indications.



‍Collection and use of personal data
Personal data is only collected and used by the provider if this is legally permitted or the users consent to the data collection. As a rule, it is recognizable for the users when using the service which data is stored, for example name, e-mail address and message when using the order form.

The personal data provided for the purpose of ordering goods (such as name, e-mail address, address, payment data) will be used by the seller to fulfill and process the contract.

The personal data of the users will not be sold or forwarded to third parties for advertising purposes or for the purpose of creating user profiles.
