3. Data Collection on Our Website

Cookies

Our website uses "cookies". Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device and do no harm. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

Cookies can originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies are used to evaluate user behavior or display advertising.

We use the following types of cookies:

• Essential cookies (technically necessary): Required for basic website functionality
• Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors use our website
• Marketing cookies: Used to show relevant advertisements

The storage of cookies is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of our services. If consent to store cookies was requested, the storage of the respective cookies is based exclusively on this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR); consent can be revoked at any time.

You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Server Log Files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Host name of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP address

This data will not be merged with other data sources.

The collection of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of their website - for this purpose, server log files must be recorded.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your information from the inquiry form, including the contact data you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries sent to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this was requested.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after processing your inquiry). Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.

5. Payment Processing

For payment processing, we use external payment service providers (e.g., Stripe, bank transfers). When you make a payment, your payment data will be transmitted to and processed by these service providers.

These service providers process data on the basis of their own privacy policies. We recommend that you review the privacy policies of the respective payment providers. We have no influence on the data processing carried out by these providers.

6. Third-Party Services

Email Hosting

We provide email hosting services as part of our platform. Emails processed through our system are stored on our servers located in Germany and are subject to this privacy policy.

Our website contains links to external websites (e.g., social media: Telegram, YouTube). We have no control over the content and data protection practices of these external providers. When you click on external links, you leave our website, and we recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these third-party sites.

7. Data Retention

We store personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. Once the purpose of storage no longer applies and no legal retention obligations exist, the data will be deleted.

Specifically:

• Contact form data: Until your inquiry is fully processed
