§ 2 Data Processing for Contract Fulfillment

(1) Purpose of Processing

Your personal data, which you provide to us in the ordering process, is necessary for concluding a contract with us. You are not obliged to provide your personal data. However, without your address, we cannot send you the goods. For some payment methods, we need the necessary payment data to forward it to a payment service provider commissioned by us. The processing of your data entered in the ordering process is thus for the purpose of fulfilling the contract.

If you send us an inquiry via email, contact form, etc., before concluding the contract, we process the data received this way to carry out pre-contractual measures and answer your questions about our products.

(2) Legal Basis

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

(3) Categories of Recipients

Payment service providers, shipping service providers, hosting providers, possibly merchandise management system, possibly suppliers (drop shipping).

(4) Storage Duration

We store the data required for contract processing until the expiration of statutory warranty and, if applicable, contractual guarantee periods. We retain the data required under commercial and tax law for the legally specified periods, generally ten years (see § 257 HGB, § 147 AO). The data processed for pre-contractual measures will be deleted once the measures have been carried out and it is clear that no contract will be concluded.

You have the right to request information as to whether the personal data concerning you is transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you can request to be informed about the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.

2. Right to Rectification

You have the right to rectification and/or completion against us if the personal data concerning you that is processed is incorrect or incomplete. We must make the correction without delay.

Where processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, such data may only be processed – with the exception of storage – with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.

If the restriction of processing has been restricted according to the above conditions, you will be informed by us before the restriction is lifted.

4. Right to Erasure

a) Obligation to Erase

You can request that we delete the personal data concerning you without delay, and we are obliged to delete this data without delay if one of the following reasons applies:

(1) The personal data concerning you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed. (2) You withdraw your consent on which the processing is based according to Art. 6 (1) (a) or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing. (3) You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR. (4) The personal data concerning you has been unlawfully processed.

c) Exceptions

The right to erasure does not exist to the extent that processing is necessary

5. Right to Notification

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing against us, we are obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing unless this proves to be impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. You have the right to be informed about these recipients.

6. Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from us, provided that

(1) The processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR and (2) The processing is carried out by automated means.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from us to another controller, where technically feasible. This must not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

The right to data portability does not apply to processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us.

7. Right to Object

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.

We will no longer process the personal data concerning you unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

Where personal data concerning you is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for such purposes.

You have the option, in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

8. Right to Withdraw Consent under Data Protection Law

You have the right to withdraw your consent under data protection law at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

9. Automated Individual Decision-Making, Including Profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision

(1) Is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between you and us, (2) Is authorized by Union or Member State law to which we are subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) Is based on your explicit consent.

However, these decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in Art. 9 (1) GDPR, unless Art. 9 (2) (a) or (g) applies and suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place.

Regarding the cases referred to in (1) and (3), we shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on our part, to express your point of view, and to contest the decision.

10. Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR.

The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the progress and the outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.
