Collection and Use of Personal Data

The website of Bibliotheca Rara GmbH does not collect any personal data, except for data that you independently transmit to us via a contact or order form. We use the data provided by you exclusively to fulfill and process your request or order.

In specific instances, we ask you for voluntary information (e.g. name, address, telephone number, email address, interests regarding information, products, and services, etc.). The provision of your data is indispensable for online orders, purchasing certain products and services, subscribing to the newsletter, or responding to inquiries via the contact form.

Disclosure of Data

Your data will not be passed on to third parties or transferred to third countries (countries outside the scope of Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995).

If a contract is concluded, your data will be blocked for further use upon full payment of the purchase price and deleted after expiration of the retention periods under tax and commercial law. Unblocking is only conceivable in cases that exclusively concern contractual settlement.

Furthermore, your data will be stored and used for sending informational materials about interesting promotions and events of the publishing house Bibliotheca Rara. You can object to the use of your data at any time without giving reasons, incurring no costs other than the transmission costs according to basic tariffs.

External Service Providers & Data Security

An exception is made for external service providers who process your request or order on our behalf and handle necessary data for this purpose, such as in preparation for an event (ticket orders, etc.). It is ensured that all data-receiving bodies comply with the requirements of data protection and data security.

We secure our website and other systems against loss, destruction, access, modification, or dissemination of your data by unauthorized persons through technical and organizational measures. Despite regular checks, however, complete protection against all risks is not possible.
