Collection, processing and use of personal data
You may visit our site without providing any personal details. We store only access data without any personal details, such as e.g. the name of your Internet service provider, the site from which you visit us, or the name of the requested file. These data are evaluated solely to improve our product range and allow no conclusion to be drawn with regard to your person.
Personal data are only collected when you voluntary notify us of such data within the scope of your order of goods, when opening a customer account or when registering for our newsletter. We use the data you provide without your separate permission solely to fulfil and handle your order. Once the contract has been completely processed and the purchase price fully paid, your data will be blocked against further use and deleted once the fiscal and commercial provisions have expired, unless you have expressly consented to the further use of your data.
When registering for the newsletter your name and e-mail address are used for internal advertising purposes with your consent, until such time as you deregister from the newsletter.
Transmission of personal data, credit screening
Your data is transmitted to the dispatch company commissioned to deliver, should this be necessary for the delivery of the goods. For payment processing, we give your payment data to the credit institution commissioned to make the payment. Should we advance the funds, in order to safeguard our justified interests, we may obtain credit information from SCHUFA Holding AG, Kormoranweg 5, 65201 Wiesbaden. Your concerns worthy of protection will be taken into account pursuant to the statutory provisions. No further transmission to third parties ensues.
Use of cookies
To enable you to order from our online shop, a so-called session cookie is activated when retrieving certain pages. This is a small text file, which is automatically deleted from your computer at the end of the Browser session. This file serves solely to allow certain applications to be used, e.g. our shopping basket system.
Data security
Your personal data will be transmitted on the Internet via encrypted code by means of SSL encryption. We implement technical and organisational measures to secure our website and other systems against loss, destruction, access, change or dissemination of your data by unauthorised persons. Your customer account may only be accessed once your personal password has been entered. You should always treat your access information confidentially and close the browser window, once you have ended your communication with us, particularly if you share the use of the computer with others.
Right to information
According to the Data Protection Act you have a right to gratuitous information concerning your stored data, as well as a right to correction, blockage or deletion of such data.
Revocation of consents
Where applicable, you have expressly granted the following consents during the course of the ordering process. We should point out to you that you are entitled to revoke your consent, with effect for the future, at any time.
Opening of a customer account
When opening a customer account I consent to pre-set data (name, address, e-mail, telephone number, and with separate consent: bank details) and user data (user name, password) being stored in a customer database. This allows me to log on and order with user name and password for future purchases, without having to re-enter my data. I may revoke this consent at any time, with effect for the future, by allowing Otto Zern to delete my customer account.
Permission for e-mail advertising
I would like to receive interesting offers regularly via e-mail. My e-mail address will not be transmitted to other companies. I may revoke this consent to the use of my e-mail address for advertising purposes at any time, with effect for the future, by deregistering from the procurement of the newsletter in my customer area.
