2 Collection, processing and use of personal data
2.1 Personal data
Personal data is information about the factual or personal circumstances of a 
specific or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, your name, 
your customer number, your telephone number, your address, as well as all 
inventory data that you provide us with when registering and creating your 
customer account. Statistical data, which we collect, for example, when visiting 
our online shop and which can not be directly related to your person, are not 
covered here. For example, analyzes which pages of our spring shop are 
particularly popular or how many users visit them.
2.2 Customer account
We set up a password-protected direct access to their stored inventory data 
(customer account) for each customer who registers accordingly. You agree to 
treat the personal access data as confidential and not to make it accessible to 
unauthorized third parties. We can not assume liability for misused passwords 
unless we are responsible for the abuse.
2.3 Collection, processing and use of your personal data
In the collection, processing and use of your personal data, we strictly adhere 
to the statutory provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act and the Telemedia 
Act. We collect, store and process your data for the entire processing of your 
purchase, for our services, the technical administration and our own marketing 
purposes. Your personal data will only be disclosed to third parties or 
otherwise transmitted, if this is necessary for the purpose of contract 
execution. As part of the order processing, for example, the service providers 
we use (such as transporters, logisticians) receive the necessary data for order 
and order processing. The data transmitted in this way may only be used by our 
service providers to fulfill their task. Any other use of the information is not 
permitted and does not occur with any of the service providers entrusted by us.
Insofar as you have provided us with personal data, we use these solely for the 
purpose of technical administration of our websites and for the fulfillment of 
your requirements, in particular for processing the contract concluded with you 
or for answering your request. Any transfer, sale or other transfer of your 
personal data to third parties will not take place, unless this is necessary for 
the purpose of executing the contract.
To delete your personal data, please send a cancellation notice to 
service@gutekunst-co.com.
3 Cookies
The acceptance of cookies is a prerequisite for the use of our website 
Federnshop.com.
3.1 What are cookies?
Cookies and Flash Cookies are small files that are stored on your data carrier 
and that store certain settings and data for exchange with our system via your 
browser. Basically, one differentiates between two different types of cookies, 
so-called session cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close your browser, 
and temporary / permanent cookies, which are stored for a long period or 
permanently on your disk. This storage helps us to tailor our website and our 
offers to you and makes it easier for you to use them, for example by saving 
certain entries from you in such a way that you do not constantly have to repeat 
them.
3.2 Which cookies does Gutekunst use?
Most of the cookies we use are automatically deleted from your hard drive after 
the end of the browser session. Session cookies are needed, for example, to 
offer you the shopping cart feature across multiple pages. In addition, we also 
use cookies that remain with you on the hard drive. These cookies are used in 
particular for the login process in the customer login, so you do not have to 
re-enter the login data every time. These temporary or permanent cookies 
(lifetime from one month to several years) are stored on your hard disk and 
delete themselves after the specified time.
3.3 What data is stored in the cookies?
The cookies used by Gutekunst do not store any personal data. The stored cookies 
are only used for the registration and registration process. Thus, the stored 
cookies are active only during the registration at Federnshop.com. For 
non-registered users, temporary cookies (session cookies) are used. These 
session cookies are active as long as the browser session persists. If the 
browser is terminated, the session cookies are discarded.
4 Log files and website analysis
With each access to the pages of Gutekunst usage data are transmitted through 
the respective Internet browser and stored in log files, called server log 
files. The datasets stored in this case contain the following data: date and 
time of the retrieval, name of the accessed page, IP address, referrer URL 
(origin URL from which you were redirected to the Gutekunst website), the amount 
of data transmitted, product and Version information of the used browser. 
Gutekunst stores two different log files.
4.1 Log files for operating the web server
These logfiles remain valid for four weeks and are only required for the secure 
operation of the website. For example, to fix errors and problems as quickly as 
possible. Further use of these log files does not take place.
4.2 Log files for website analysis with PIWIK
Piwik is a data protection compliant analysis system that complies with the high 
EU and German data protection guidelines. Gutekunst operates and hosts the Piwik 
analysis system on its own web server. The analysis and user data are stored 
exclusively via a first-party cookie. There is no query or storage and 
disclosure to a third party. External access is not possible. Thus, the data are 
very well secured against the use of third parties. In addition, the Piwik
