The data collected is shown in the respective input forms. We use the data provided by you for the execution of the contract and processing of your inquiries.

Depending on which payment service provider you select in the order process, we will forward the payment data collected to the payment institution responsible for the payment and any payment service providers commissioned by us to the selected payment service. In part, the selected payment service providers collect these data themselves, as long as you create an account there. In this case, you must log in to the payment service provider with your access data during the ordering process. In this respect, the privacy policy of the respective payment service provider applies.
