The aforementioned data is processed by us for the following purposes:

For other administrative purposes.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) EU-GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes listed above for data collection. Under no circumstances do we use the collected data for the purpose of drawing conclusions about you personally.

Furthermore, we use cookies when you visit our website. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain any viruses. For further explanations, please refer to section 5 of this privacy notice.

b) When Using Our Webshop

When using our webshop, e.g., by placing your orders, accepting our offers, registering, or communicating with us, we process the personal data you provide solely for the purpose of initiating or fulfilling the contract.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) EU-GDPR. According to this, data processing is necessary for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract to which the data subject is a party, or to carry out pre-contractual measures taken at the data subject's request.

When using our webshop, we process the following personal data you provide:

First and last name (for companies: company name),
Address,
Phone number (landline and/or mobile),
Fax number (if available),
Email address.

The processing of this data is for the purpose of fulfilling contractual obligations, particularly for shipping the goods, processing payments including invoicing, handling any warranty claims, and any related correspondence with you.

c) Contact Form

We have provided a contact form on our website to allow you to send us your questions, comments, feedback, etc. To use this, it is mandatory to provide your email address and name so we know who we should respond to. Any additional information is optional.

The legal basis for data processing is your voluntarily given consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) EU-GDPR).

The personal data collected through the contact form will be deleted once your inquiry has been addressed.

d) When Subscribing to Our Newsletter

If you have expressly consented (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) EU-GDPR), you can receive our newsletter, in which we inform you about current offers in the field of goods and/or services. The goods and/or services advertised in the newsletter are mentioned in the consent declaration. The only mandatory information for receiving the newsletter is your email address. Any additional data is optional and used to address you personally.

We use the so-called double opt-in procedure for newsletter registration. This means that after registering, we send you an email to the provided email address asking you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm within 24 hours, your information will be blocked and automatically deleted after one month. In addition, we store the IP addresses you used and the time of registration and confirmation. The purpose of this procedure is to prove your registration and, if necessary, clarify any possible misuse of your personal data.

The legal basis for this data processing is your voluntarily given consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) EU-GDPR). You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. You can send your unsubscribe request to widerruf@karriere-raketen.de.

e) Processing Based on Legitimate Interests

Where necessary for our business purposes, we process your data – apart from contract initiation or fulfillment as well as an expressly given consent – to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company, unless an individual assessment shows that your legitimate fundamental rights and freedoms, which require the protection of personal data, prevail (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) EU-GDPR). Our company's legitimate interests include direct marketing unless you have objected to the use of your personal data.

Disclosure of Data to Third Parties

Your personal data will not be disclosed to third parties for any purposes other than those listed below. In particular, without your express consent, there will be no disclosure to third parties, e.g., for advertising purposes.

You have given your explicit consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) EU-GDPR),
This is necessary for processing contractual relationships with you (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) EU-GDPR), e.g., to credit institutions for processing payments, shipping companies for goods delivery including tracking, and in the event of non-payment to lawyers and legal services for enforcement,

Disclosure is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) EU-GDPR) and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest in non-disclosure.

We use cookies on our website. These are small text files that are automatically created by your internet browser and stored on your device (e.g., PC, laptop, tablet, smartphone) when you visit our site. Cookies do not damage your device and do not contain any viruses, Trojans, or other harmful software. Information related to the specific device used is stored in the cookie. However, this does not mean that we gain direct knowledge of your identity.

The use of cookies serves, among other things, to make our offerings more convenient for you. For example, we use cookies to recognize if you have visited individual pages of our website before. These are automatically deleted after leaving our site. In addition, we use cookies to optimize user-friendliness, which are stored on your device for a certain fixed period. When you revisit our site to use our services, it automatically recognizes whether you have been to our site before and what inputs and settings you made, so you do not have to enter them again.

There is a distinction between cookies that are strictly necessary to provide the services on this website (necessary cookies) and those that are not (non-necessary cookies).

Without the use of necessary cookies, this website does not function properly. These cookies are used exclusively by us (so-called first-party cookies), and all information stored in these cookies is only sent to this website. Necessary cookies are used regardless of whether you give your consent. The legal basis for data processing in this case is our legitimate interests, i.e., our interest in analyzing, optimizing, and the economic operation of our website and services (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) EU-GDPR).

The non-necessary cookies we use can be divided into categories of preference, statistics, and marketing. Marketing cookies are used by external companies (so-called third-party cookies) to collect information about the websites you have visited to create targeted advertising.

Non-necessary cookies are only used after you have given your consent. By consenting to the use of cookies listed in the consent tool provided on this website, you agree to the use of these cookies. The legal basis for data processing in this case is your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) EU-GDPR).

You can adjust your cookie settings at any time by enabling or disabling individual cookies in the consent tool, except for necessary cookies.

You can configure your web browser to prevent cookies from being stored on your device altogether or to ask you each time whether you consent to the setting of cookies. You can delete cookies at any time. Instructions on how to do this can be found in the help function of the respective web browser.

A general deactivation of cookies may, however, lead to functional restrictions on this website.

Storage Duration and Data Deletion

Your personal data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed (Art. 17 para. 1 lit. a) EU-GDPR). The data will then be deleted unless, for example, storage is required to fulfill a legal obligation, which requires processing under Union law or the law of a Member State to which the controller is subject (Art. 17 para. 3 lit. b) EU-GDPR), or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims (Art. 17 para. 3 lit. e) EU-GDPR). Legal obligations include statutory retention periods, e.g., according to § 147 para. 1 no. 4, para. 3 sentence 1 of the German Tax Code, there is a retention period of 10 years for accounting data, including order and payment data, and according to § 257 para. 1 no. 2, 3, para. 4 of the German Commercial Code, there is a retention period of 6 years for commercial correspondence, such as email messages. During the retention period, the data will be locked, and after the period has elapsed, the data will be deleted.
