This privacy policy is intended to inform users of this website, in accordance with the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG), about the nature, scope, and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by the website operator BitternextFHY GmbH.

The website operator takes your privacy very seriously and treats your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal regulations.

Handling of Personal Data

The website operator collects, uses, and discloses your personal data only if this is permitted by law or if you consent to the data collection.

Personal data are all information that can be used to identify you and that can be traced back to you—such as your name, email address, and telephone number.

User Account

To place orders via this offer, every customer must set up a password-protected customer account. This account provides an overview of completed orders and active order processes.

The operator assumes no liability for password misuse unless the operator caused the misuse.

Order Process

All data entered by customers during order processing will be stored. This includes:

• First and last name

The data necessary for delivery or order processing will be passed on to third-party service providers.

As soon as the storage of your data is no longer required or legally mandated, it will be deleted.

Credit Check

To ensure both your security and that of the operator, a credit check may be conducted before entering into a contract.

This includes reviewing previous transactions with the operator and any changes to your personal data. The operator may also use third-party services for this purpose.

Handling of Contact Information

If you contact the website operator using the provided contact options, your details will be stored to process and respond to your inquiry. These data will not be disclosed to third parties without your consent.

Handling of Comments and Posts

If you leave a comment or post on this website, your IP address will be stored.

The stored data will not be shared with third parties. You may unsubscribe at any time.

Google Analytics

This website uses “Google Analytics,” a service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA), to analyze how users use the website.

The service uses "cookies"—text files that are stored on your device. The information collected by the cookies is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

IP anonymization is active on this website. Within EU and EEA countries, users’ IP addresses are shortened. The personal reference of the IP address is thus eliminated.

Under the terms of the data processing agreement, which the website operator has concluded with Google Inc., Google uses the collected information to evaluate website usage and website activity and to provide services related to internet usage.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by changing your browser settings. Note that you may not be able to use all features of this website without restrictions if your browser does not allow cookies.

You can also prevent the collection of data by Google Analytics by installing a browser plugin, available here:

Alternatively, click this link to opt out of data collection on this website. This will set an “opt-out cookie” in your browser. Your browser must allow cookies for this to work. If you delete your cookies, you will need to click the link again for each visit.
