Hi Bernd,

thanks for your comment. Can you recommend any link that explains the 
details of this law and how to deal with it?
As far as I observe most companies store the data of their customers. So 
when you order again, they already have your address, bank account, know 
what you bought in previous orders and if you payed the bill. - is this 
illegal according to German law?

greetings

Ron
