We use your information and photographic material you send us to produce digital scans of your photographic material. By sending your information and photos, you guarantee that you are authorised to any such information and material for the use of our services and the purposes described herein.

Depending on which payment service provider you have selected as part of the ordering process, we also pass on your data to the relevant payment service provider to the extent necessary to process the payment.

In such case, you must register or log in to the payment service provider with your access data or account during the ordering process. We do not have access to your account or the login data required for this. The respective contractual provisions of the payment service providers and the data protection provisions stipulated by them apply to the processing of payments. 

If the respective service providers process your data outside the European Union, this may result in your data being transferred to a country with a lower data protection standard than that in the European Union. In these cases, we ensure that the service providers concerned guarantee an equivalent level of data protection by contract or otherwise.

We reserve the right to disclose data in exceptional cases due to court orders or to the extent necessary for the assertion or defence of legal claims.

Cookies, analysis tools, tracking and targeting, social media

We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small files that are temporarily stored on your device. We use cookies for various purposes, which are described below. 

We use our own cookies, in particular functional cookies, to make our website more user-friendly, to facilitate navigation and the use of forms, to simplify logging in and registration, to provide certain functions, to store the consent or rejection of cookies and to ensure the security of our website and our systems. The corresponding cookies are therefore necessary in order to be able to use our website functionally. Consent is not required for these necessary cookies.

We also use third-party cookies, particularly in connection with the use of analytics tools, tracking and targeting technologies.

Measurement and analysis tools are used to better understand the use of our website and to optimise it accordingly. With the corresponding cookies, we collect information about how you interact with our website and which pages you have visited. The information we collect or store with these cookies is aggregated and not linked to you personally. Such cookies are activated with your consent, and you can withdraw your consent at any time.

Tracking and targeting technologies are used to optimise the delivery of advertising and other marketing on the internet. These cookies track and collect information about your online activities to help advertisers deliver more relevant advertising to you according to your interests. These cookies may share this information with other organisations or advertisers. Such cookies are activated with your consent, and you can withdraw your consent at any time.

We also integrate certain so-called social media offers or external content on our websites. When using social media, you also use the respective offers of the social media providers, which also use cookies. Such cookies are activated with your consent, and you can withdraw your consent at any time.

In principle, you can also view our website without cookies. However, most browsers automatically accept cookies as the default setting. However, you can prevent or restrict the storage of cookies on your end device. Please refer to the instructions of your browser manufacturer for details of how this works. You can also delete cookies that have already been set at any time via your browser. You can also use the “Do Not Track” settings of your browser to manage cookies.

If you do not accept necessary cookies, this may lead to functional restrictions of our offers.

When using cookies from other providers (“third party cookies”), it is possible that the collected data may be transferred by the respective provider to a country outside the EU or the EEA that does not offer an adequate level of data protection. In particular, the US currently does not offer adequate protection under the GDPR because government authorities in the US have the right to access personal data held by companies under certain circumstances without adequate remedies being available to data subjects.
