Thank you for your interest in our online shop. Protecting your privacy is very important to us. Below, we provide detailed information about how we handle your data.

1. Access data and hosting

You may visit our websites without providing any personal information. Each time a webpage is accessed, the web server automatically stores only a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider (access data), and documents the access. This access data is evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring the trouble-free operation of the website and improving our offering.

Pursuant to Art. 6(1), sentence 1, lit. f GDPR, this serves to safeguard our legitimate interests, which prevail in the context of a balancing of interests, in the correct presentation of our offering. All access data is deleted no later than seven days after the end of your visit to the website.

Hosting services provided by a third party

As part of processing on our behalf, a third-party provider supplies us with services for hosting and displaying the website. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests, which prevail in the context of a balancing of interests, in the correct presentation of our offering. All data collected in connection with the use of this website or in the forms provided for this purpose in the online shop, as described below, is processed on its servers.

Processing on other servers takes place only within the scope explained here. This service provider is located in a country within the European Union or the European Economic Area.

2. Collection and use of data for contract processing

We collect personal data when you provide it to us as part of your order or when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or email). Mandatory fields are marked as such because, in these cases, we require the data to process the contract or your contact request, and without providing it you cannot complete the order or send the contact request. The data collected can be seen in the respective input forms.

We use the data you provide pursuant to Art. 6(1), sentence 1, lit. b GDPR to process the contract and handle your enquiries. After the contract has been fully processed, the processing of your data will be restricted and the data will be deleted after the expiry of any applicable retention periods under tax and commercial law, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use the data beyond this to the extent permitted by law and about which we inform you in this statement.

3. Disclosure of data

For the performance of the contract pursuant to Art. 6(1), sentence 1, lit. b GDPR, we disclose your data to the shipping company commissioned with delivery, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of ordered goods. Depending on which payment service provider you select during the ordering process, we disclose the payment data collected for payment processing to the financial institution commissioned with the payment and, where applicable, to payment service providers commissioned by us or to the selected payment service. In some cases, the selected payment service providers also collect this data themselves if you create an account with them.

In this case, you must log in to the payment service provider using your access credentials during the ordering process. The privacy policy of the respective payment service provider applies in this respect. We use payment service providers and shipping service providers whose registered office is in a country outside the European Union.

Personal data is transferred to these companies only insofar as necessary for the performance of the contract.

Disclosure of data to shipping service providers

If you have given us your express consent during or after your order, we will, on the basis of this consent pursuant to Art. 6(1), sentence 1, lit. a GDPR, disclose your email address and telephone number to the selected shipping service provider so that it can contact you before delivery for the purpose of announcing or coordinating the delivery. Consent may be withdrawn at any time by sending a message to the contact option described below or directly to the shipping service provider at the contact address listed below. After withdrawal, we will delete the data you provided for this purpose unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use the data beyond this to the extent permitted by law and about which we inform you in this statement.

Email advertising with newsletter registration

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we use the data required for this purpose or separately provided by you to regularly send you our email newsletter on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1), sentence 1, lit. a GDPR. You may unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time either by sending a message to the contact option described below or by using the link provided for this purpose in the newsletter. After unsubscribing, we will delete your email address unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use the data beyond this to the extent permitted by law and about which we inform you in this statement.

The newsletter is sent on our behalf by a service provider to whom we disclose your email address for this purpose. This service provider is located in a country within the European Union or the European Economic Area.

5. Use of data in payment processing

Identity and credit check when selecting Klarna payment services

If you choose Klarna’s payment services, we ask for your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1), sentence 1, lit. a GDPR to transfer to Klarna the data required for payment processing and for an identity and credit check. In Germany, the credit agencies named in Klarna’s privacy policy may be used for the identity and credit check. Klarna uses the information received about the statistical probability of a payment default to make a balanced decision on the establishment, performance, or termination of the contractual relationship.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by sending a message to the contact details below. This may mean that we can no longer offer you certain payment options. You may also withdraw your consent to this use of personal data directly from Klarna at any time.

Instalment purchase

If you select the “instalment purchase” payment method and provide the data protection consent required for this purpose pursuant to Art. 6(1), sentence 1, lit. a GDPR, personal data (first name, last name, address, email, telephone number, date of birth, IP address, gender), together with the data required to process the transaction (item, invoice amount, due dates, total amount, invoice number, taxes, currency, order date, and order time), will be transferred to our partner Klarna Bank AB (publ), Sveavägen 46, 111 34 Stockholm, for the purpose of processing this payment method. To verify the customer’s identity and creditworthiness, our partner makes enquiries and obtains information from publicly accessible databases and credit agencies.

For information about the providers from which information and, where applicable, credit information is obtained on the basis of mathematical-statistical procedures, as well as further details about the processing of your data after it has been transferred to our partner Klarna Bank AB (publ), please refer to its privacy policy, which can be found here: http://cdn.klarna.com/1.0/shared/content/legal/terms/0/de_de/privacy Our partner Klarna Bank AB (publ) uses the information received about the statistical probability of a payment default to make a balanced decision on the establishment, performance, or termination of the contractual relationship.

Consent to the disclosure of data given during the ordering process may be withdrawn from us at any time, without stating reasons, with effect for the future.

6. Integration of the Trusted Shops Trustbadge

The Trusted Shops Trustbadge is integrated into this website to display our Trusted Shops seal of approval and the reviews collected, as well as to offer Trusted Shops products to buyers after an order. Pursuant to Art. 6(1), sentence 1, lit. f GDPR, this serves to safeguard our legitimate interests, which prevail in the context of a balancing of interests, in the optimal marketing of our offering. The Trustbadge and the services advertised with it are provided by Trusted Shops GmbH, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne.

When the Trustbadge is accessed, the web server automatically stores a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, your IP address, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider (access data), and documents the access. This access data is not evaluated and is automatically overwritten no later than seven days after the end of your visit to the website.

Further personal data is transferred to Trusted Shops only if you have consented to this, choose to use Trusted Shops products after completing an order, or have already registered to use them. In this case, the contractual agreement concluded between you and Trusted Shops applies.

8. Advertising via marketing networks

Google AdWords Remarketing

We advertise this website in Google search results and on third-party websites via Google AdWords. For this purpose, when you visit our website, Google sets a so-called remarketing cookie, which automatically enables interest-based advertising by means of a pseudonymous cookie ID and on the basis of the pages you have visited.

Pursuant to Art. 6(1), sentence 1, lit. f GDPR, this serves to safeguard our legitimate interests, which prevail in the context of a balancing of interests, in the optimal marketing of our website. Once the purpose no longer applies and we cease using Google AdWords Remarketing, the data collected in this context will be deleted. Further data processing takes place only if you have agreed with Google that your web and app browsing history may be linked to your Google account and that information from your Google account may be used to personalise advertisements you see on the web.

If, in this case, you are logged in to Google while visiting our website, Google uses your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define audience lists for cross-device remarketing. To do this, Google temporarily links your personal data with Google Analytics data in order to create audiences. Google AdWords Remarketing is a service provided by Google LLC (www.google.de).

9. Social media plugins

Use of social plugins from Facebook, Google, Instagram, and Pinterest using the “two-click solution”

So-called social plugins (“plugins”) from social networks are used on our website. To increase the protection of your data when visiting our website, the plugins are integrated into the page by means of a so-called “two-click solution”. This integration ensures that when you access a page on our website that contains such plugins, no connection is initially established with the servers of the respective social network.

Only when you activate the plugins does your browser establish a direct connection to the servers of the respective social network. The content of the respective plugin is then transmitted directly to your browser by the relevant provider and integrated into the page. By integrating the plugins, the providers receive information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a profile with the respective provider or are not currently logged in.

This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly by your browser to a server of the respective provider (possibly in the USA) and stored there. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the “Like” or “Share” button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a server of the providers and stored there. The information is also published on the social network and displayed there to your contacts.

Pursuant to Art. 6(1), sentence 1, lit. f GDPR, this serves to safeguard our legitimate interests, which prevail in the context of a balancing of interests, in the optimal marketing of our offering. For information about the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the providers, as well as contact options and your related rights and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to the providers’ privacy notices: http://www.facebook.com/policy.php http://www.google.com/intl/de/+/policy/+1button.html https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388 https://about.pinterest.com/de/privacy-policy

YouTube video plugins

Content from third-party providers is embedded on this website. This content is provided by Google LLC (“provider”). YouTube is operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). The enhanced privacy setting is activated for YouTube videos embedded on our website.

This means that no information about website visitors is collected and stored by YouTube unless they play the video. The embedding of the videos serves to safeguard our legitimate interests, which prevail in the context of a balancing of interests, in the optimal marketing of our offering pursuant to Art. 6(1), sentence 1, lit. f GDPR. For information about the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the providers, as well as your related rights and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Google’s privacy notices at http://www.google.com/intl/de/+/policy/+1button.html.
