You can order goods on our website as a commercial customer. You have to register for this purpose. You can enter your data in an input mask as part of the registration. Personal data that we absolutely need are marked accordingly. Without this data, we cannot create an individual and functional account, making it impossible to place an order as the provision of this data is contractually necessary. We use this data to process the order initiated by you as desired and in accordance with the contract, in particular to arrange the invoicing, shipping and payment.
These processing operations are based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b or lit. f (if the contracting party is not a natural person, but the data of his employees are processed) GDPR.

Please contact our data protection officer for more information, especially regarding the measures taken.
Obligation to provide information
If personal information is required to establish and conduct the business relationship and the associated contractual or legal obligations, you have to provide such information to enable us to meet our performance obligations or legal obligations. Without provision of the data, we may not be able to perform the service properly, fully or any longer. The provision of other data is neither contractually nor legally necessary. We will inform you in the appropriate places whether the provision is necessary when you use the website.

We will only store your personal information, if necessary, for a limited period of time and no longer than necessary. Basically, we will delete your data if it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or if there are other legal reasons that require deletion.
If we are subject to statutory record retention requirements that require a longer storage period, we store the data for this period, in particular for the fulfilment of commercial and tax retention periods, which are between 2 and 10 years.
Other legal grounds for retention may include the provision of evidence for the duration of the applicable statute of limitations. These periods are usually between 2 and 30 years.
