We process personal data (hereinafter referred to as "data") only to the extent necessary and for the purpose of providing a functional and user-friendly website, including its contents and the services offered there.
According to Article 4 No. 1 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation, or "GDPR"), "processing" refers to any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
With the following privacy policy, we inform you in particular about the type, scope, purpose, duration, and legal basis of the processing of personal data, insofar as we decide alone or jointly with others on the purposes and means of processing. Furthermore, we inform you below about the external components we use for optimisation and quality improvement purposes, to the extent that third parties process data under their own responsibility.
Our privacy policy is structured as follows:

II. Rights of users and data subjects
With regard to the data processing described below, users and data subjects have the right:
In addition, LEUTHOLD Fine Violins is obliged to inform all recipients to whom data has been disclosed about any rectification or erasure of data or restriction of processing in accordance with Articles 16, 17 para. 1, and 18 GDPR. This obligation does not apply if such notification is impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. Notwithstanding this, the user has a right to information about these recipients.
Likewise, under Art. 21 GDPR, users and data subjects have the right to object to the future processing of their data, provided that the data is processed by LEUTHOLD Fine Violins pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. In particular, an objection to data processing for direct advertising purposes is permissible.
Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage ceases to apply, provided that the deletion does not conflict with any legal storage obligations and unless otherwise stated for individual processing methods below.
For technical reasons, in particular to ensure a secure and stable website, data is transmitted to us or our webspace provider by your internet browser. These so-called server log files include, among other things, the type and version of your internet browser, the operating system, the website from which you accessed our site (referrer URL), the webpages of our website that you visit, the date and time of access, and the IP address of the internet connection from which our website is accessed.
These data are stored temporarily, but not in association with any other of your data.
This storage is based on the legal foundation of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality, and security of our website.
The data will be deleted after no more than seven days, unless continued storage is required for evidential purposes. In such cases, the data is exempt from deletion until the incident is finally clarified.
This processing makes our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure, as it allows functions like displaying the website in different languages or the use of a shopping basket feature.
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, where the cookies are used to initiate or fulfil contracts.
If the processing does not serve contract initiation or execution, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
These session cookies are deleted when you close your internet browser.
The data you submit to us for the use of our goods and/or services will be processed by us for the purpose of contract performance and is required for this purpose. Contract conclusion and performance are not possible without the provision of your data.
The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
We delete the data once the contract has been fully executed but must observe statutory retention periods.
As part of the contract processing, we pass your data on to the transport company commissioned with the delivery of goods or to the financial service provider, as far as the transfer is necessary for the delivery of goods or for payment purposes.
The legal basis for this transfer of data is also Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
If you create a customer account on our website, we will collect and store the data you enter during registration (e.g. your name, address, or email address) exclusively for pre-contractual services, contract fulfilment, or customer care purposes (e.g. to provide you with an overview of your previous orders or to offer you the notepad function).
We also store your IP address and the date and time of your registration. This data is not shared with third parties.
By completing the registration process, you consent to the processing of your data. Reference is hereby made to this privacy policy. The data collected in this way is used exclusively for providing the customer account.
If you have given consent, the legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.
If the account also serves pre-contractual measures or contract fulfilment, the legal basis for processing is also Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
You can revoke your consent to the creation and maintenance of the customer account at any time with effect for the future in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR. All you need to do is inform us of your revocation.
The data collected will be deleted once processing is no longer necessary. Statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.
If you contact us via contact form or email, the data you provide will be used to process your request. Providing the data is necessary for processing and answering your enquiry – without it, we cannot respond or only respond to a limited extent.
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
Your data will be deleted if your enquiry has been conclusively answered and the deletion does not conflict with any legal retention obligations, such as those in the context of subsequent contract processing.
