4) Contact
4.1 WhatsApp Business
We offer visitors to our website the opportunity to contact us via the WhatsApp messaging service of WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. For this purpose, we use the so-called “business version” of WhatsApp.
If you contact us via WhatsApp in connection with a specific transaction (for example, an order you have placed), we will save and use the mobile phone number you use with WhatsApp and – if provided – your first and last name in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b. GDPR to process and answer your request. On the basis of the same legal basis, we may ask you via WhatsApp to provide further data (order number, customer number, address or email address) in order to be able to assign your request to a specific process.
If you use our WhatsApp contact for general inquiries (e.g. about the range of services, availability or our website), we will save and use the mobile phone number you use on WhatsApp and – if provided – your first and last name in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the efficient and timely provision of the information you require.
Your data will always only be used to answer your request via WhatsApp. It will not be passed on to third parties.
Please note that WhatsApp Business receives access to the address book of the mobile device we use for this purpose and automatically transfers telephone numbers stored in the address book to a server of the parent company Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA. To operate our WhatsApp Business account, we use a mobile device in whose address book only the WhatsApp contact details of those users who have contacted us via WhatsApp are stored.
This ensures that every person whose WhatsApp contact details are stored in our address book has already consented to the transmission of their WhatsApp telephone number from the address books of their chat contacts in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of GDPR when using the app for the first time on their device by accepting the WhatsApp terms of use. The transmission of data from users who do not use WhatsApp and/or have not contacted us via WhatsApp is therefore excluded.
The purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by WhatsApp as well as your related rights and setting options to protect your privacy can be found in WhatsApp’s data protection information: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/?eea=1#privacy-policy
As part of the above-mentioned processing, data may be transferred to Meta Platforms Inc. servers in the USA.
For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European data protection level on the basis of an adequacy decision of the European Commission.
4.2 When you contact us (e.g. via contact form or email), personal data is processed – exclusively for the purpose of processing and answering your request and only to the extent necessary for this purpose.
The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in answering your request in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If your contact is aimed at a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and provided that there are no statutory retention periods to the contrary.
5) Data processing when opening a customer account
According to Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b of GDPR, personal data will continue to be collected and processed to the extent required if you provide it to us when opening a customer account. You can find out which data is required to open an account in the input mask of the corresponding form on our website.
Your customer account can be deleted at any time and can be done by sending a message to the above-mentioned address of the person responsible. After your customer account has been deleted, your data will be deleted provided that all contracts concluded through it have been fully processed, there are no statutory retention periods to the contrary and we have no legitimate interest in continuing to store it.
6) Use of customer data for direct advertising
6.1 Registration for our email newsletter
If you register for our email newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers. The only mandatory information required to send the newsletter is your email address. Providing additional data is voluntary and is used to address you personally. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to send the newsletter, which ensures that you only receive the newsletter if you have expressly confirmed your consent to receive the newsletter by clicking on a verification link sent to the email address provided.
By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent to use your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. We store your IP address entered by your Internet service provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration in order to be able to trace any possible misuse of your email address at a later date.

6.2 Sending the email newsletter to existing customers
If you have provided us with your email address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for similar goods or services from our range to those you have already purchased by email. In accordance with Section 7 (3) of the German Act Against Unfair Competition (UWG), we do not need to obtain your separate consent for this. In this respect, data processing is carried out solely on the basis of our legitimate interest in personalized direct advertising in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If you initially objected to the use of your email address for this purpose, we will not send you any emails.
You are entitled to object to the use of your email address for the aforementioned advertising purpose at any time with effect for the future by notifying the person responsible named at the beginning. You will only incur transmission costs according to the basic rates. After receipt of your objection, the use of your email address for advertising purposes will be stopped immediately.

We will then add you to our newsletter mailing list.
The data we collect when you register for the newsletter is processed exclusively for the purposes of advertising in the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by sending us the message “Stop” via WhatsApp. After unsubscribing, your mobile phone number will be immediately deleted from our newsletter mailing list unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use the data in any other way that is permitted by law and about which we will inform you in this declaration.
Please note that WhatsApp Business has access to the address book of the mobile device we use for this purpose and automatically transfers telephone numbers stored in the address book to a server of the parent company Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA.
To send our WhatsApp newsletter, we therefore use a mobile device in whose address book only the WhatsApp contact details of our newsletter recipients are stored. This ensures that every person whose WhatsApp contact details are stored in our address book has consented to the transmission of their WhatsApp telephone number from the address books of their chat contacts in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of GDPR by accepting the WhatsApp terms of use when using the app for the first time on their device. The transmission of data from users who do not use WhatsApp and/or have not contacted us via WhatsApp is therefore excluded.
The purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by WhatsApp as well as your related rights and setting options to protect your privacy can be found in WhatsApp’s data protection information: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/?eea=1#privacy-policy
