Personal data is defined, as for example, data, such as: your name, postal address, phone number or email address.

It’s not necessary for you to disclose your personal data to use our website. However, in certain cases, we need your name and your address as well as other data to provide you with the desired service.
This also applies, for example, to the delivery of information materials and ordered goods, or to answering individual questions. We will inform you accordingly, where this is necessary.

In the event that you decide to take up our service, we usually only collect data that is needed to carry out the required tasks. Any further data is required on a strictly voluntary basis.
