Data processing on our website

Access data
You can visit our website without providing any personal data. Each time a website is accessed, the web server only automatically saves 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 analyzed exclusively for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offer. In accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, this serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our offer, which predominate in the context of a balancing of interests. All access data will be deleted no later than seven days after the end of your visit to the site.

Hosting services by a third-party provider
As part of processing on our behalf, a third-party provider provides us with the services for hosting and displaying the website. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our website, which outweigh our interests. All data collected as part of the use of this website or in the forms provided for this purpose in the online store as described below are processed on its servers. Processing on other servers only takes place within the scope described here. This service provider is located within a country of the European Union or the European Economic Area.

Our website uses the Content Delivery Network (CDN) service of Cloudflare Germany GmbH, Rosental 7, c/o Mindspace, 80331 Munich. The CDN enables us to deliver content more efficiently by storing copies of our website content on servers in different geographic regions and delivering them to users via the nearest server. By using the CDN, we can reduce loading times and increase the reliability of our website. Please note that when using the CDN, certain data, such as IP addresses, may be transmitted to the CDN provider in order to deliver the content and optimize website performance. This data is processed in the interest of the secure and efficient provision of our online services, which is considered a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Handling of personal data

Data collection for contract processing and making contact
We collect personal data if you voluntarily provide it to us as part of your order, when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or email) or when opening a customer account. Mandatory fields are marked as such, as in these cases we need the data to process the contract or to process your contact or open the customer account and you cannot complete the order and/or open the account or send the contact without providing it. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data provided by you in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR for contract processing and processing your inquiries. After complete processing of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after expiry of the 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 data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration. Deletion of your customer account is possible at any time and can be done either by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a function provided for this purpose in the customer account.

SSL or TLS encryption
To protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us as the site operator, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons. This means that data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize the encrypted connection by the preceding "https://" and the padlock symbol in the browser line.

Data transfer upon conclusion of a contract for the purchase and dispatch of goods
In order to fulfill our contract, we transfer personal data to service providers who support us in order, payment and shipping processing in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b GDPR. Which data is passed on to which payment service providers depends on your selection during the ordering process. We transmit the payment data required for this to the credit institution commissioned with the payment and, if applicable, to the payment service providers commissioned by us, or they are collected directly from the payment service you have selected if you have an account there. In this case, you will need to log in to the payment service provider with your access data in order to process your payment. In this context, please also note the privacy policy of the respective payment service provider, which is relevant for the processing of your data.

Integration of TrustedShops Trustbadge
Trusted Shops widgets are integrated on this website to display Trusted Shops services (e.g. seal of approval, collected reviews) and to offer Trusted Shops products to buyers after an order.

This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests, which predominate in the context of a balancing of interests, in optimal marketing by enabling secure shopping in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. The Trustbadge and the services advertised with it are an offer from Trusted Shops GmbH, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne, with whom we are jointly responsible for data protection in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR. As part of this data protection notice, we inform you below about the essential contents of the contract in accordance with Art. 26 para. 2 GDPR.

An appropriate level of data protection is ensured by standard data protection clauses and other contractual measures. Further information on data protection at Trusted Shops GmbH can be found in their privacy policy.

When the Trustbadge is called up, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file, which also contains your IP address, date and time of the call, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the call. The IP address is anonymized immediately after collection so that the stored data cannot be assigned to your person. The anonymized data is used in particular for statistical purposes and for error analysis.

After completing your order, your e-mail address hashed using a cryptological one-way function is transmitted to Trusted Shops GmbH. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. This serves to check whether you are already registered for services with Trusted Shops GmbH and is therefore necessary for the fulfillment of our and Trusted Shops' overriding legitimate interests in the provision of the buyer protection linked to the specific order and the transactional evaluation services in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR. If this is the case, further processing will be carried out in accordance with the contractual agreement concluded between you and Trusted Shops. If you have not yet registered for the services, you will then be given the opportunity to do so for the first time. Further processing after registration is also based on the contractual agreement with Trusted Shops GmbH. If you do not register, all transmitted data will be automatically deleted by Trusted Shops GmbH and a personal reference is then no longer possible.

Trusted Shops uses service providers in the areas of hosting, monitoring and logging. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation. Processing may take place in third countries (USA and Israel). An adequate level of data protection is ensured in the USA by standard data protection clauses and other contractual measures and in Israel by an adequacy decision.

Within the framework of the joint responsibility existing between us and Trusted Shops GmbH, please contact Trusted Shops GmbH in the event of data protection issues and to assert your rights using the contact options provided in the data protection information linked above. Irrespective of this, you can always contact the controller of your choice. If necessary, your request will then be forwarded to the other responsible party for a response.
