Unless otherwise stated below, the provision of your personal information is neither required by law nor by contract nor required to conclude a contract. You are not required to provide the data. A non-provisioning has no consequences. This applies only insofar as no other indication is given in the subsequent processing operations.

By submitting your message, you consent to the processing of the transmitted data. The processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO with your consent.
You may revoke your consent at any time by notifying us without affecting the legality of the processing on the basis of the consent to revocation. We only use your e-mail address to process your request. Your data will then be deleted, unless you have consented to the further processing and use.

Buyers Seal Customer Review 
We use on our website the buyer seal customer rating tool of the dealer federation management AG (Torgauer road 233 B, 04347 Leipzig). After your order we would like to ask you to rate your purchase with us and to comment.
For this purpose you will be contacted by e-mail, whereby we use the technical system of the provider of the buyer seal evaluation tool in order processing.
The processing of your data takes place either with your consent or based on our legitimate interest.
The processing is based on Art. 6 Abs.1 lit. a DSGVO with your consent, if you have expressly consented to the receipt of the evaluation request. You may revoke your consent at any time by using the corresponding link in the e-mail without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent until your revocation. Your e-mail address will then be removed from the mailing list.
The processing without explicit consent is based on Art. 6 Abs.1 lit. f DSGVO from the legitimate interest in verifiable, verified assessments of our services in the context of direct mail. For this purpose we send in electronic form an evaluation request for own goods or services, which you already acquired with us. The shipment will be sent to the e-mail address we received from you in connection with the sale of a good or service. The sending of the evaluation request is subject to the reservation that you have not objected to this use of your e-mail address.
The objection is possible at any time by communication to us. The contact details for the exercise of the contradiction can be found in the imprint. You can also use the dedicated link in the evaluation request. There are no other costs than the transmission costs according to the basic tariffs.
The personal data stored in this context in the technical system of the buyer Siegel-assessment tools will be deleted 3 months after delivery of the goods acquired for evaluation.

Regardless of the contract, we use your e-mail address solely for our own advertising purposes to send you newsletters, if you have expressly consented to this.

You may revoke your consent at any time without affecting the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent until your revocation.

We use your e-mail address, which we obtained in connection with the sale of a good or service, for the electronic transmission of advertising for own goods or services, which are similar to those, which you already acquired with us, as far as this Use did not contradict. The provision of the e-mail address is required for the conclusion of the contract. Non-provisioning means that no contract can be concluded. The processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO from the legitimate interest in direct mail. You may object to this use of your e-mail address at any time by notifying us. The contact details for the exercise of the contradiction can be found in the imprint. You can also use the dedicated link in the promotional e-mail. There are no other costs than the transmission costs according to the basic tariffs.
