Privacy Policy

We appreciate 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.

 

Access Data and Hosting

You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. Each time a webpage is accessed, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the access. This access data is evaluated solely for the purpose of ensuring the smooth operation of the site and improving our offer. This serves, according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, to safeguard our overriding legitimate interests in a proper presentation of our offer within the framework 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 As part of processing on our behalf, a third party provides us with hosting and website presentation services. This serves to safeguard our overriding legitimate interests in a proper presentation of our offer within the framework of a balancing of interests. All data collected in connection with the use of this website or in designated forms in the online shop as described below are processed on its servers. Processing on other servers only takes place within the scope explained here. This service provider is located within a country of the European Union or the European Economic Area.

 

Data Collection and Use for Contract Processing and When Opening a Customer Account

We collect personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us in connection with your order, when contacting us (e.g., via contact form or email), or when opening a customer account. Mandatory fields are marked as such because we need the data in these cases for contract processing or to handle your contact or account opening, and without providing them, you cannot complete the order and/or account opening or send the contact request. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR for contract processing and handling your inquiries. After complete fulfillment of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after expiration of the tax and commercial retention periods, unless you have explicitly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data beyond this which is legally permitted 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 designated function in the customer account.

 

Data Disclosure

For contract fulfillment according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR, we pass your data to the shipping company commissioned with delivery, insofar as this is necessary for delivering ordered goods. Depending on which payment service provider you select during the ordering process, we pass the payment data collected for payment processing to the credit institution commissioned with the payment and, if applicable, to payment service providers commissioned by us or to the selected payment service. In part, the selected payment service providers also collect this data themselves if you create an account there. In this case, you must log in to the payment service provider with your access data during the ordering process. The privacy policy of the respective payment service provider applies in this regard. Data disclosure to shipping service providers If you have given us your explicit consent during or after your order, we pass your email address to the selected shipping service provider based on this consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR so that they can contact you before delivery for the purpose of delivery notification or coordination. The consent can be revoked 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 revocation, we delete the data you provided for this purpose unless you have explicitly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data beyond this which is legally permitted and about which we inform you in this declaration.

Cookies are small text files that are automatically stored on your device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted after the end of the browser session, i.e., after closing your browser (so-called session cookies).

The duration of storage can be found in the overview in your web browser's cookie settings. You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and decide individually whether to accept them or to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general.

 

Each browser differs in how it manages cookie settings. This is described in the help menu of each browser, which explains how you can change your cookie settings. You can find this for the respective browsers at the following links: Internet Explorer™: http://windows.microsoft.com/de-DE/windows-vista/Block-or-allow-cookies Safari™: https://support.apple.com/kb/ph21411?locale=de_DE Chrome™: http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=de&hlrm=en&answer=95647 Firefox™ https://support.mozilla.org/de/kb/cookies-erlauben-und-ablehnen Opera™ : http://help.opera.com/Windows/10.20/de/cookies.html If you do not accept cookies, the functionality of our website may be limited. Use of Google (Universal) Analytics for Web Analysis This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics, a web analysis service of Google LLC (www.google.de), for website analysis. This serves to safeguard our overriding legitimate interests in an optimized presentation of our offer according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Google (Universal) Analytics uses methods that enable an analysis of your use of the website, such as cookies. The automatically collected information about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

By activating IP anonymization on this website, the IP address is shortened before transmission within the member states of the European Union or other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The anonymized IP address transmitted by your browser within Google Analytics is generally not merged with other data from Google. After the purpose has ceased and the use of Google Analytics by us ends, the data collected in this context will be deleted. Google LLC is headquartered in the USA and is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield. A current certificate can be viewed here. Based on this agreement between the USA and the European Commission, the latter has determined an adequate level of data protection for companies certified under the Privacy Shield. You can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de Alternatively to the browser plugin, you can click on Analytics deactivate to prevent future data collection by Google Analytics on this website.

Use of YouTube Videos This website uses the YouTube embedding function to display and play videos from the provider "YouTube," which belongs to Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google").

The extended data protection mode is used here, which according to the provider's information only activates the storage of user information when the video(s) is played. When playback of embedded YouTube videos is started, the provider "YouTube" uses cookies to collect information about user behavior. According to "YouTube," these serve, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent abusive behavior. If you are logged into Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account when you click on a video. If you do not want the assignment to your YouTube profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. Such evaluation is carried out especially according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on Google's legitimate interests in displaying personalized advertising, market research, and/or needs-based design of its website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must address YouTube to exercise this right. Regardless of whether the embedded videos are played, a connection to the Google network "DoubleClick" is established each time this website is accessed, which can trigger further data processing operations without our influence. Google LLC, based in the USA, is certified under the US-European data protection agreement "Privacy Shield," which ensures compliance with the data protection level applicable in the EU. Further information on data protection at "YouTube" can be found in the provider's privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy Use of Google AdWords Conversion Tracking This website uses the online advertising program "Google AdWords" and, within Google AdWords, the conversion tracking of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google").

We use Google AdWords to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites using advertising media (so-called Google AdWords). We can determine in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns how successful the individual advertising measures are. Our interest is to show you advertising that is of interest to you, to make our website more interesting for you, and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs. The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on a Google AdWords ad. Cookies are small text files stored on your computer system. These cookies usually expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with conversion tracking. However, they do not receive information that allows personal identification of users. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can block this use by

disabling the Google conversion tracking cookie in your internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

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, the so-called remarketing cookie from Google is set when visiting our website, which automatically enables interest-based advertising using a pseudonymous cookie ID and based on the pages you visited. This serves to safeguard our overriding legitimate interests in optimal marketing of our website according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. After the purpose has ceased and the use of Google AdWords Remarketing by us ends, the data collected in this context will be deleted. Further data processing only takes place if you have agreed to Google linking your web and app browser history with your Google account and using information from your Google account to personalize ads you see on the web. In this case, if you are logged into Google during your visit to our website, Google uses your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define audience lists for cross-device remarketing. For this purpose, your personal data is temporarily linked by Google with Google Analytics data to form audiences. Google AdWords Remarketing is an offer of Google LLC (www.google.de). Google LLC is headquartered in the USA and is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield. A current certificate can be viewed here.

Based on this agreement between the USA and the European Commission, the latter has determined an adequate level of data protection for companies certified under the Privacy Shield.

Facebook Custom Audience via the Pixel Method This website uses the "Facebook Pixel" of Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA ("Facebook"). This allows tracking user behavior after they have seen or clicked on a Facebook ad. This procedure serves to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes and can help optimize future advertising measures. The collected data is anonymous to us, so it does not allow conclusions about the identity of users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, so a connection to the respective user profile is possible, and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes according to the Facebook Data Use Policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). You can allow Facebook and its partners to place ads on and off Facebook. A cookie may also be stored on your computer for these purposes. Consent to the use of the Facebook Pixel may only be given by users over 13 years old. If you are younger, please ask your guardians for permission.
