Protecting your personal data is important to us. We process your data exclusively on the basis of statutory provisions (GDPR, German Federal Data Protection Act). This Privacy Policy informs you about what data we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have.

When you visit our website, your browser automatically sends information to our server. This information is temporarily stored in a log file. The following information is recorded without your active involvement and stored until it is automatically deleted:

– IP address of the requesting device

– Date and time of access

– Name and URL of the retrieved file

– Website from which access is made (referrer URL)

– Browser used and, if applicable, your operating system and the name of your access provider

We process this data to ensure a smooth website connection, to ensure convenient use of our website, to evaluate system security and stability, and for other administrative purposes.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the data collection purposes listed above.

Our website uses cookies – small text files placed on your device. We distinguish between technically necessary cookies and cookies for analysis and marketing purposes.

Technically necessary cookies enable the proper functioning of the website (e.g. shopping cart, language settings). These are set without your consent (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Analytics cookies (e.g. Google Analytics) are only set after your explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future.

You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set, to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude cookies for certain cases or generally, and to activate automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.

If you contact us via our contact form, enquiry form, or email, the data you provide (e.g. name, email address, message) will be stored for the purpose of processing your request and in the event of follow-up questions. We do not pass this data on without your consent.

The legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR where consent is given, or Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where the contact aims to conclude a contract.

Your data will be deleted after final processing of your request, unless statutory retention obligations apply.

When you place an order via our online shop, we process the data you provide (name, address, payment details, email address) to fulfil the purchase contract. The payment process and order data processing are carried out via Shopify Inc., 151 O'Brien Street, Ottawa, Ontario K1N 5T5, Canada. Shopify processes your data on the basis of appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR.

The legal basis for data processing in connection with the ordering process is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (contract fulfilment). Data relevant for tax purposes is stored for the duration of the statutory retention periods (10 years).

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Analytics uses cookies that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

We use Google Analytics with IP anonymisation enabled. This means that your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union before being transmitted to the USA.

Google Analytics is only activated after your explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by accessing the cookie settings on our website.

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we use the data you provide (email address, and name if given) exclusively for sending the newsletter. You may revoke your consent at any time, for example via the unsubscribe link in the newsletter.

The legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

You have the following rights regarding your personal data:

– Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR)

– Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)

Our website uses SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption in conjunction with the highest encryption level supported by your browser, typically 256-bit encryption. You can recognise encrypted transmission by the padlock symbol in your browser's address bar.

We use appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or total loss, destruction, or unauthorised access by third parties.

This Privacy Policy is currently valid as of March 2026. As our website and services develop, or due to changes in legal requirements, it may be necessary to amend this Privacy Policy. The current version can always be accessed at www.rvklier.com/privacy-policy.
