Thank you for your interest in our website. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below we provide you with 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 a website is accessed, the web server automatically stores a so-called server log file containing, 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 documenting the access. This access data is evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring the trouble-free operation of the website and improving our services. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our services, which prevail in the context of a balancing of interests, pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

All access data is deleted no later than one month after the end of your visit to our website.

All access data is processed only for as long as necessary to achieve the processing purposes stated above.

 Hosting

The services for hosting and displaying the website are provided in part by our service providers acting on our behalf. Unless otherwise explained in this Privacy Policy, all access data and all data collected in forms provided for this purpose on this website are processed on their servers. If you have any questions about our service providers or the basis of our cooperation with them, please use the contact details provided in this Privacy Policy.

2. Data processing for contract performance and contacting us

2.1 Data processing for contract performance

For the purpose of processing the contract (including enquiries concerning and handling any existing claims arising from warranty rights, defective performance, the right of withdrawal and any statutory updating obligations) pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b GDPR, we collect personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us as part of your order. Mandatory fields are marked as such because in these cases we require the data to process the contract and cannot dispatch the order without it. The data collected can be seen from the respective input forms.

Further information about the processing of your data, in particular its disclosure to our service providers for order, payment and shipping processing, can be found in the following sections of this Privacy Policy. Once the contract has been fully processed, further processing of your data will be restricted and the data will be deleted after expiry of the retention periods under tax and commercial law pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c GDPR, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR or we reserve the right to use data beyond this extent where permitted by law and about which we inform you in this Policy.

2.2 Customer account

We collect personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us when opening a customer account. Mandatory fields are marked as such because in these cases we require the data to open the customer account and you cannot complete the account registration without providing it. The data collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide to process the contract and your enquiries pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b GDPR. You may delete your customer account at any time, either by sending a message using the contact details provided in this Privacy Policy or by using the function provided for this purpose in the customer account. After deletion of your customer account, your data will be deleted unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR or we reserve the right to use data beyond this extent where permitted by law and about which we inform you in this Policy.

 Contacting us

As part of our customer communications, we collect personal data to process your enquiries pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b GDPR when you voluntarily provide such data when contacting us (e.g. via contact form, live chat tool or e-mail). Mandatory fields are marked as such because in these cases we require the data to process your enquiry. The data collected can be seen from the respective input forms. Once your enquiry has been fully processed, your data will be deleted unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR or we reserve the right to use data beyond this extent where permitted by law and about which we inform you in this Policy.

3. Data processing for shipping purposes

For the purpose of fulfilling the contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b GDPR, we pass your data on to the shipping service provider commissioned with delivery insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of ordered goods. If you have any questions about our service providers or the basis of our cooperation with them, please use the contact details provided in this Privacy Policy.

 Disclosure of data to shipping service providers for shipment notification

If you have given us your express consent during or after your order, we will disclose your e-mail address and telephone number to the selected shipping service provider pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR so that the provider can contact you prior to delivery for the purpose of shipment notification or coordination. You may withdraw your consent at any time by sending a message using the contact details provided in this Privacy Policy.

If you have any questions about our service providers or the basis of our cooperation with them, please use the contact details provided in this Privacy Policy.

4. Data processing for payment purposes

When processing payments in our online shop, we work with the following partners: technical service providers, credit institutions and payment service providers.

4.1 Data processing for transaction processing

Depending on the payment method selected, we disclose the data necessary to process the payment transaction to our technical service providers, the commissioned credit institutions or the selected payment service provider insofar as this is necessary to process the payment. This serves to fulfil the contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b GDPR. In some cases, payment service providers collect the data required to process the payment themselves, for example on their own website or through technical integration into the ordering process. In this respect, the privacy policy of the respective payment service provider applies.
Depending on the payment method selected, data may be transferred to third countries outside the EU/EEA for which the European Commission has determined by decision that an adequate level of data protection exists. Where data is transferred to third countries outside the EU/EEA for which the European Commission has not adopted an adequacy decision, our cooperation is based on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses. If you have any questions about our payment processing partners or the basis of our cooperation with them, please use the contact details provided in this Privacy Policy.

4.2 Data processing for fraud prevention and optimisation of our payment processes

Where applicable, we provide the aforementioned service providers with additional data which they use together with the data required to process the payment for the purposes of fraud prevention and optimising our payment processes (e.g. invoicing, processing disputed payments and accounting support). Pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, this serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in protection against fraud and efficient payment management, which prevail in the context of a balancing of interests.

7. Integration of the Trusted Shops Trustbadge / other widgets

Trusted Shops widgets are integrated into this website to display Trusted Shops services (e.g. Trustmark and collected reviews) and to offer Trusted Shops products to buyers after an order has been placed.

This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in optimal marketing by enabling secure shopping pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, which prevail in the context of a balancing of interests. The Trustbadge and the services advertised through it are provided by Trusted Shops SE, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne, Germany ("Trusted Shops"), with whom we are joint controllers pursuant to Art. 26 GDPR. In the following information, we inform you about the essential content of the agreement pursuant to Art. 26 (2) GDPR.

When you interact with the Trustbadge AI+, session cookies are set to store the login status and display the so-called Welcome Layer, which shows details of the respective online shop (company information, reviews and information about the availability of buyer protection) as well as the #trstd secret. A cookie is set to recognise logged-in users and is stored for a maximum of 400 days after login. Session cookies are also set to send push notifications when using the app, provided the user has allowed them. This is necessary for Trusted Shops to provide the digital service requested by you. Trusted Shops is responsible for data processing when you interact with the Trustbadge AI+.

Within the framework of the joint controllership between us and Trusted Shops SE, please preferably contact Trusted Shops with any data protection questions or to exercise your rights using the contact details provided in its privacy information. Regardless of this, you may always contact the controller of your choice. Where necessary, your enquiry will then be forwarded to the other controller for response.

7.1 Data processing when integrating the Trustbadge / other widgets

The Trustbadge is provided by a US-based CDN provider (Content Delivery Network). An adequate level of data protection is ensured by an adequacy decision of the European Commission, which for the USA can be accessed here. Service providers used in the USA are generally certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF). Further information is available here. Where service providers are not certified under the DPF, Standard Contractual Clauses have been concluded as an appropriate safeguard.

When the Trustbadge is accessed, the web server automatically stores a server log file containing your IP address, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data), thereby documenting the access. The IP address is anonymised immediately after collection so that the stored data cannot be attributed to you personally. The anonymised data is used in particular for statistical purposes and error analysis.

7.2 Data processing after completion of an order

After completion of an order, the Trustbadge accesses order information stored on your terminal device (order value, order number and, where applicable, the product purchased) as well as your e-mail address. This is necessary in order to offer you Trusted Shops services and, where applicable, automatically protect your order. For this purpose, your e-mail address, hashed using a cryptographic one-way function, is transmitted to Trusted Shops. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. This serves to verify whether you are already registered for services provided by Trusted Shops and is therefore necessary to fulfil our and Trusted Shops' overriding legitimate interests in providing buyer protection linked to the specific order and transactional review services pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. If you are already registered, further processing takes place in accordance with the contractual agreement between you and Trusted Shops. If you are not yet registered for the services, you will subsequently be given the opportunity to register for the first time. Further processing following registration is likewise governed by the contractual agreement with Trusted Shops. If you do not register, all transmitted data will be automatically deleted by Trusted Shops and it will no longer be possible to link the data to an individual.

Trusted Shops uses service providers in the areas of hosting, monitoring and logging. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation. Processing may take place in third countries (USA, United Kingdom and Israel). An adequate level of data protection is ensured in each case by an adequacy decision of the European Commission, which can be accessed here for the USA, here for the United Kingdom and here for Israel. Service providers used in the USA are generally certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF). Further information is available here. Where service providers are not certified under the DPF, Standard Contractual Clauses have been concluded as an appropriate safeguard.
