If you buy/attempt to buy a product through our website (i.e. click the confirm order button), we will collect and store your contact data (name, address, and email address), as well as which payment method you have chosen in order to be able to fulfil our obligations under the resulting business relationship. If you provide them, we will use your email address to send you your order updates and possibly email you if the payment was not successful.
If you would like to place an order in our online store, you can choose whether you would like to enter the data necessary for your order only once for this order, or whether you would like to create a customer account which stores your data for later additional purchases. When you do not create a customer account, we will store your data for the purpose of fulfilling the contract and then delete it as soon as we are no longer legally required to store it. Required fields that are necessary to fulfill the contract are specially marked; any additional information is voluntary. Upon creation of an account under “My Account”, the data entered by you there will be stored with the ability to be revoked later.
We will use the data you enter to fulfill your order. For this purpose, we will give your address data and possibly payment information to companies that support us in this area. We will delete this data after fulfillment of the contract and the tax and commercial storage periods.
