Unless otherwise stated below, the provision of your personal data is neither legally nor contractually required, nor is it necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the data. Not providing it has no consequences. This only applies insofar as no other information is given for the processing operations below.
"Personal data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

When you place an order, we only collect and process your personal data insofar as this is necessary for the fulfilment and processing of your order and for handling your enquiries.

Your data is passed on, for example, to the shipping companies and drop shipping providers you have chosen, payment service providers, service providers for order processing and IT service providers.
