We shall treat the personal data you have provided as confidential, and shall only disclose them to third parties if they are required for the order handling, e.g. for the transfer of order data to suppliers. In no case will we sell or rent out your personal data or any data relating to your person to third parties. Personal data shall only be used for handling your orders, responding to your questions, and for compiling internal and anonymous statistics.
