Data processing as part of the whistleblower protection system 
If you submit information to the internal reporting centre as part of the whistleblower protection system that has been set up, we will only collect your personal data (name, electronic contact details, address, message text, information on violations as defined in Section 3 para. 3 HinSchG [German Whistleblower Protection Act], information on the identity of persons protected under the HinSchG) to the extent provided by you. The data processing serves the purpose of fulfilling the tasks, obligations and rights of the internal reporting office, which are assigned to the internal reporting office by the HinSchG. Data processing is carried out to fulfil a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR in conjunction with section 10 of the HinSchG. 
Your data will then be deleted in compliance with statutory retention periods (3 years after the conclusion of the procedure within the meaning of § 18 HinSchG). 

Proactive contact of the customer by e-mail 
If you make contact with us proactively via email, we shall collect your personal data (name, email address, message text) only to the extent provided by you. The purpose of the data processing is to handle and respond to your contact request. 
If the initial contact serves to implement pre-contractual measures (e.g. consultation in the case of purchase interest, order creation) or concerns an agreement already concluded between you and us, this data processing takes place on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. If the initial contact occurs for other reasons, this data processing takes place on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for the purposes of our overriding, legitimate interest in handling and responding to your request. In this case, on grounds relating to your particular situation, you have the right to object at any time to this processing of personal data concerning you and carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. 
We will only use your email address to process your request. Your data will subsequently be deleted in compliance with statutory retention periods, unless you have agreed to further processing and use. 

Collection and processing when using the contact form 
When you use the contact form we will only collect your personal data (name, email address, message text) in the scope provided by you. The data processing is for the purpose of making contact. 
If the initial contact serves to implement pre-contractual measures (e.g. consultation in the case of purchase interest, order creation) or concerns an agreement already concluded between you and us, this data processing takes place on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. If the initial contact occurs for other reasons, this data processing takes place on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for the purposes of our overriding, legitimate interest in handling and responding to your request. In this case, on grounds relating to your particular situation, you have the right to object at any time to this processing of personal data concerning you and carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. 
We will only use your email address to process your request. Finally your data will be deleted, unless you have agreed to further processing and use. 

Customer account Orders

When you open a customer account, we will collect your personal data in the scope given there.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us without affecting the legality of the processing carried out with your consent up to the withdrawal. Your customer account will then be deleted. 

Collection, processing, and transfer of personal data in orders 
When you submit an order we only collect and use your personal data insofar as this is necessary for the fulfilment and handling of your order as well as processing of your queries. The provision of data is necessary for conclusion of a contract. Failure to provide it will prevent the conclusion of any contract. The processing will occur on the basis of Article 6(1) b) GDPR and is required for the fulfilment of a contract with you. 
Your data is transferred here for example to the shipping companies and dropshipping providers, payment service providers, service providers for handling the order and IT service providers that you have selected. We will comply strictly with legal requirements in every case. The scope of data transmission is restricted to a minimum.

For individual payment methods such as credit card via PayPal, direct debit via PayPal, PayPal reserves the right, if necessary, to obtain a credit report on the basis of mathematical-statistical procedures using credit reporting agencies.

The credit report may contain probability values (score values) which are calculated on the basis of scientifically recognised mathematical-statistical methods and include, among other things, address data. Your legitimate interests will be taken into account in accordance with the legal requirements. The data processing serves the purpose of a credit check for contract initiation. The processing is carried out on the basis of art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR due to our overriding legitimate interest in protection against payment default if PayPal pays in advance. For reasons that arise from your particular situation, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR at any time by notifying PayPal. The provision of the data is necessary for the conclusion of the contract with the payment method of your choice. Failure to provide such data shall mean that the contract cannot be concluded with the payment method you have selected.
