IP addresses are needed for problem diagnostics, website management and demographic information. When you visit our site, we only recognize your domain name, but not your e-mail address. We only see your e-mail address if you specify it expressly when you complete a form or send us an e-mail directly.

Cookies
Cookies are used for personalized contents, avoiding repeated password entries, tracking a shopping cart or adapting the information offering to the user’s habits.

User registration
When you register, we will send you the requested information and / or products, as well as miscellaneous product information, news and / or web materials.

E-mail addresses
If you send us your e-mail address, we will communicate with you by e-mail. We will not pass on your e-mail address to third parties outside First Data Deutschland GmbH. If you do not want any more e-mails from us, you can cancel them immediately.

Here, too, you can revoke your consent at any time.
