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 can visit our website without providing any personal information. Each time you visit a website, the web server automatically stores a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the file requested, your IP address, the date and time of the request, the amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the request. This access data is evaluated solely for the purpose of ensuring the smooth operation of the website and improving our offer. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our offer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, which outweigh other interests. All access data is deleted no later than seven days after the end of your visit to our website.


2. Data processing for contract processing and for establishing contact 


2.1 Data processing for contract processing
For the purpose of contract processing (including inquiries about and processing of any warranty and performance claims as well as any statutory update obligations) in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR, we collect personal data if you voluntarily provide it to us in the context of your order. Mandatory fields are marked as such because we require this data for contract processing and cannot ship the order without it. The data that is collected can be seen in the respective input forms. 

Further information on the processing of your data, in particular on the transfer to our service providers for the purpose of order, payment, and shipping processing, can be found in the following sections of this privacy policy. After complete fulfillment of the contract, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after expiry of the tax and commercial law retention periods in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR or we reserve the right to further use your data in a manner that is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this statement. 

2.2 Customer account
If you have given your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR by deciding to open a customer account, we will use your data for the purpose of opening a customer account and for storing your data for further future orders on our website. You can delete your customer account at any time by sending a message to the contact address provided in this privacy policy or by using the function provided for this purpose in your customer account. After deletion of your customer account, your data will be deleted unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR or we reserve the right to further use your data in a manner that is legally permitted and about which we inform you in this statement. 

2.3 Contact
Within the scope of customer communication, we collect personal data for the purpose of processing your enquiries in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR if you provide this data voluntarily when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or email). Mandatory fields are marked as such, as we require this data to process your enquiry. The data collected is evident from the respective input forms. After your request has been processed in full, your data will be deleted unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR or we reserve the right to use your data beyond this scope, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.


3. Data processing for the purpose of order processing

Data transfer to shipping service providers for the purpose of shipping notification

This serves to fulfill the contract in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR.

8. Integration of the Trusted Shops Trustbadge/other widgets

Trusted Shops widgets (e.g., Trusted Shops Trustbadge) are integrated on this website to display Trusted Shops services (e.g., quality seals, collected reviews) and to offer Trusted Shops products to buyers after an order.
This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in optimal marketing by enabling secure shopping in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, which outweigh other interests. The Trustbadge and the services advertised with it are an offer from Trusted Shops GmbH, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne (Trusted Shops), with whom we are jointly responsible for data protection in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR. We will inform you about the essential contents of the contract in accordance with Art. 26 (2) GDPR in the following privacy policy.
Within the scope of the joint responsibility between us and Trusted Shops GmbH, please contact Trusted Shops GmbH, whose contact details can be found here, if you have any questions about data protection or wish to assert your rights. Further information on data protection can be found at the following link here. Regardless of this, you can always contact us using the contact details provided in this privacy policy. Your request will then be forwarded to the other controller for a response, if necessary. 

8.1 Data processing when integrating the Trustbadge/other widgets
The Trustbadge is provided by a US CDN (content delivery network) provider as part of a joint responsibility. An adequate 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 here. When the Trustbadge is called up, the web server automatically stores a so-called server log file, which also contains your IP address, the date and time of the request, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the request. 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. 

8.2 Data processing after completion of the order
After completion of the order, your email address, which has been hashed using a cryptological one-way function, will be transmitted to Trusted Shops GmbH. The legal basis for this 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 providing the buyer protection and transactional review services linked to the specific order in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. If this is the case, further processing will be carried out in accordance with the contractual agreement between you and Trusted Shops. If you are not yet registered for the services, you will 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 data transmitted will be automatically deleted by Trusted Shops GmbH and it will no longer be possible to identify you.
Trusted Shops uses service providers in the areas of hosting, monitoring, and logging. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation. This may involve processing in third countries (USA and Israel). An adequate level of data protection is ensured in the case of the USA by standard data protection clauses and further contractual measures, and in the case of Israel by an adequacy decision.
