Order and order processing
Our order offers are primarily addressed to the business to business (B2B) business model. Order processing is carried out exclusively by the supplier companies registered with us. As a website operator, we provide the necessary framework for this with our “B2B Web Portal”. Shipping and payment processing are carried out in the name and on behalf of the respective providers. When ordering products via the “B2B web portal”, only personal data (including e-mail address, surname, first name, address VAT ID) is collected, which is required for the conclusion of the contract and is only made available by us to the respective supplier in the event of an order for further order processing. This contractual data is stored by us for the duration of the contractual relationship or for the fulfillment of the contract. Notwithstanding this, we will also store your data for a longer period of time if this is required by statutory retention obligations. In this case, the processing of the data will be limited to compliance with the statutory retention periods and the data will no longer be processed for any other purposes. For further information on the use of your personal data sent by us to the provider in the context of order processing, please contact the respective provider company directly. All providers have made a commitment to us to treat your personal data in accordance with the applicable requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO).
In order to place orders via our B2B web portal, you as a customer must set up a free and password-protected customer account. Further information on this can be found under the item Registration.

The legal basis for the data processing associated with this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO, i.e. the processing of your data is necessary for the fulfillment of the agreement on a payment of your purchase via PayPal. The data transmitted to PayPal may be transmitted by PayPal to credit reporting agencies. This transmission serves the purpose of checking identity and creditworthiness.
