3.2 Access data
We collect information about you when you use this website. We automatically collect information about your usage behavior and interaction with us and register data about your computer or mobile device. We collect, store and use data about every access to our website (so-called server log files). Access data includes:
- Name and URL of the retrieved file
- Date and time of retrieval
- Amount of data transferred
- Message about successful retrieval (HTTP response code)
- Browser type and browser version
- Operating system
- Referer URL (i.e. the previously visited page)
- Websites accessed by the user's system through our website
- User's Internet service provider
- IP address and the requesting provider
We use this log data without assignment to your person or other profiling for statistical evaluations for the purpose of operating, security and optimization of our website, but also for anonymous recording of the number of visitors to our website (traffic) as well as the extent and type of use of our website and services, and for billing purposes to measure the number of clicks received from cooperation partners.

We store IP addresses in the log files for a limited period of time if this is necessary for security purposes or for providing services or billing a service, e.g. if you use one of our offers. After abandoning the order process or after receipt of payment, we delete the IP address if it is no longer required for security purposes. We also store IP addresses if we have a concrete suspicion of a criminal offense in connection with the use of our website. Additionally, as part of your account, we save the date of your last visit (e.g. when registering, logging in, clicking links etc.).

3.3 Cookies
We use so-called session cookies to optimize our website. A session cookie is a small text file that is sent by the respective servers when visiting a website and stored temporarily on your hard drive. This file as such contains a so-called session ID, with which various requests from your browser can be assigned to the shared session. This allows your computer to be recognized when you return to our website. These cookies are deleted after you close your browser. They serve e.g. to enable you to use the shopping cart function across several pages.
We also use a small amount of persistent cookies (also small text files stored on your device) that remain on your device and allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit. These cookies are stored on your hard drive and delete themselves after the specified time. Their lifespan is 1 month to 10 years. This enables us to present our offer in a more user-friendly, effective and secure way, and to show you, for example, information tailored to your interests on the page.
Our legitimate interest in using cookies pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 f) GDPR lies in making our website more user-friendly, effective and secure.
The following data and information are stored in the cookies:
- Log-in information
- Language settings
- Entered search terms

When the cookie is activated, it is assigned an identification number and your personal data is not assigned to this identification number. Your name, IP address or similar data that would allow the cookie to be assigned to you are not inserted into the cookie. Based on the cookie technology, we only receive pseudonymized information, for example about which pages of our shop were visited, which products were viewed, etc.
You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies in advance and can decide in individual cases whether you exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, or that cookies are completely prevented. This may limit the functionality of the website.

3.4 Data for fulfilling our contractual obligations
We process personal data that we need to fulfill our contractual obligations, such as name, voice messages, ordered products, billing and payment data. The collection of this data is required for the conclusion of the contract.
The data will be deleted after expiry of warranty periods and statutory retention periods. Data associated with a user account (see below) will in any case be retained for the duration of maintaining this account. Voice messages will be deleted as soon as processing (transcription) has been done.

6 Data security
We are committed to protecting your data within the framework of current data protection laws and technical possibilities.
Your personal data is transmitted encrypted with us. This applies to your orders and also to the customer login. We use the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) coding system, but point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by email) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
To secure your data, we maintain technical and organizational security measures in accordance with Art. 32 GDPR, which we constantly adapt to state-of-the-art technology.
We also do not guarantee that our offer will be available at certain times; disruptions, interruptions or failures cannot be excluded. The servers we use are regularly backed up carefully.

7 Disclosure of data to third parties, no data transfer to non-EU countries
Basically, we only use your personal data within our company.
If and to the extent that we engage third parties in the performance of contracts (such as logistics service providers), they receive personal data only to the extent that the transmission is required for the corresponding service.
In the event that we outsource certain parts of the data processing ("order processing"), we contractually obligate processors to use personal data only in accordance with the requirements of data protection laws and to ensure the protection of the data subject's rights.
Data transmission to places or persons outside the EU outside of the case mentioned in section 4 of this declaration does not take place and is not planned.
