Customer contact via e-mail
If you initiate business contact with us by e-mail, we will only collect your personal data (name, e-mail address, message text) to the extent you have made them available. The data processing serves to process and answer your contact request.
If the establishment of contact serves to carry out pre-contractual measures (e.g. advice on purchase interest, preparation of an offer) or concerns a contract already concluded between you and us, this data processing takes place on the basis of Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. b GDPR.
If contact is made for other reasons, this data processing takes place on the basis of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR from our overriding legitimate interest in processing and answering your request. In this case, you have the right, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data based on Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR at any time.
We only use your e-mail address to process your request. Your data will then be deleted in compliance with statutory retention periods, unless you have consented to further processing and use.

Buyer Seal Customer Rating
We use the buyer's seal customer rating tool from Händlerbund Management AG (Torgauer Straße 233 B, 04347 Leipzig) on our website. After your order, we would like to ask you to rate and comment on your purchase from us.
For this purpose, we will write to you by e-mail, whereby we use the technical system of the provider of the buyer's seal evaluation tool as part of order processing.
Your data will be processed either with your consent or on the basis of our legitimate interest.
The processing takes place on the basis of Art. 6 Para.1 lit. a DSGVO with your consent, provided that you have expressly consented to receiving the evaluation request. You can revoke your consent at any time using the corresponding link in the e-mail, without affecting the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent up to the time of revocation. Your e-mail address will then be removed from the mailing list.
Processing without express consent takes place on the basis of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR from the legitimate interest in truthful, verified evaluations of our services in the context of direct advertising. For this purpose, we send an electronic request for a review of our own goods or services that you have already purchased from us. It will be sent to the e-mail address that we received from you as part of the sale of goods or services. The sending of the review request is subject to the proviso that you have not objected to this use of your e-mail address.
The objection is possible at any time by notifying us. The contact details for exercising the objection can be found in the imprint. You can also use the dedicated link in the review prompt. There are no costs for this other than the transmission costs according to the basic tariffs.
The personal data stored in this context in the technical system of the buyer seal evaluation tool will be deleted 3 months after the delivery of goods recorded for evaluation.
Use of the e-mail address for sending newsletters
Irrespective of contract processing, we use your e-mail address exclusively for our own advertising purposes for sending newsletters, provided you have expressly consented to this. The processing takes place on the basis of Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR with your consent. You can revoke your consent at any time without affecting the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent up to the revocation.
