For example, the service providers (transporters, logistics companies) used for order processing receive the necessary data for order and order processing. The service providers used may only use the data for the fulfillment of their order. To be able to communicate with you (eg to confirm the order), we need your e-mail address; We also use these for your identification in the field of customer login. Your IP address, which will be transmitted to us during your purchase, will be stored for a limited period to protect us from misuse.
