We will only process personal information (sometimes referred to simply as "data" below) to the extent that is required to maintain a functional and user-friendly website, including its contents and the services provided there.
According to Article 4 No. 1 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, i.e. the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), any operation performed on personal data, including collection, storage, use, and deletion, is considered "processing". Our privacy policy aims to inform you about the details of the processing of personal data, including its type, scope, purpose, duration, and legal basis, which may be done under our control or in collaboration with others. We also disclose the use of third-party components on our website, which are utilized to enhance the user experience, but may also collect and process data under their control.
The organization of our privacy policy is as follows:
I. Information about us as the data controllers;
II. User and data subject rights
III. Information about the data processing
I. Information about us as the data controllers
You can find the entity responsible for this website (the "controller") for reasons of data protection law here.
II. User and data subject rights
Users and data subjects have rights in relation to the data processing that will be discussed in more depth below.
Additionally, in accordance with GDPR Articles 16, 17 Paragraph 1, and 18, the controller must notify all recipients to whom it discloses data of any such corrections, deletions, or limitations on processing. This obligation, however, does not apply if such notice is impractical or would require a disproportionate amount of work. Nonetheless, users have a right to information about these receivers.
Site Users and their data subjects have the right, under Art. 21 GDPR, to object to the controller's future processing of their data in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Lit. f) GDPR. A special exception to this rule is the processing of data for direct marketing purposes.
III. Information about the data processing
Unless otherwise stated below, your data processed while using our website will be erased or blocked as soon as the reason for its storage no longer applies. This assumes that deleting the data won't violate any statutory storage requirements.

Your personal information will be removed once your order has been fulfilled, but only when the retention times necessary under tax and business legislation have passed.
