Order processing

When you place an order with us, we use your personal information to be able to process it properly. We also receive information about your payment from your bank or credit card company.

For this, we use your e-mail address, telephone number, billing address, follow-up data, and payment information. Until your order is complete, we keep this information. We retain specific customer data for a more extended period due to the statutory tax retention obligation.

Location information

If required by the service, we may collect location data (GPS) from you. We will request your permission at that specific moment on the website.

This (location) data may also be stored and processed by the provider of, for example, the navigation/map software, such as Google Maps, but the data may also be used by, for example, Google or Apple itself. We have no control over this. Always read the privacy statements of the respective provider.

Provision to other companies or institutions

Except for the partners mentioned above, we will not give your data to other companies or institutions under any circumstances unless we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., if the police require us to do so on suspicion of a criminal offense).

Statistics
