Cookies usage

We use cookies on various pages to make visiting our website more attractive and to enable the use of certain functions. These are small text files that are stored on your computer. Most of the cookies we use are deleted from your hard drive at the end of the browser session (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your computer and enable us to recognize your computer on your next visit (so-called permanent cookies).

Use of Facebook social plugins

Our website uses social plugins from the social networks Facebook, Google+ and Twitter. The list and appearance of the Facebook social plugins can be viewed here. As soon as you call up a web page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection with the servers of the social networks. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly to your browser by the social networks and integrated into the website by them. Bergzeit therefore has no influence on the scope of the data that the social networks collect with the help of these plugins and therefore informs you according to our state of knowledge: By integrating the plugins, the social networks receive the information that you have accessed corresponding pages of our website. If you are logged into Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to your Facebook account. Any interaction with the plugins, for example pressing the Like button, leads to a transmission of the corresponding information from your browser directly to Facebook and is stored there. If you are not a member of Facebook, there is still the possibility that Facebook will learn and store your IP address. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, can be found in Facebook's privacy policy. If you are a Facebook member and do not want Facebook to collect data about you via our website and link it to your data stored on Facebook, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website. It is also possible to block Facebook social plugins with add-ons for your browser, for example with the "Facebook Blocker".

Transfer of personal data

Your data will be passed on to the shipping company commissioned with the delivery, to the extent that this is necessary for the delivery of the goods. For the processing of payments, we pass on your payment data to the credit institution commissioned with the payment.

According to the Federal Data Protection Act, you have a right to free information about your stored data and, if necessary, a right to correct, block or delete this data. We store the contract text for your orders and send you the order data and our terms and conditions by e-mail. You can also view the terms and conditions here at any time.
