Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics on our website. This is a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as “Google”.

The Google Analytics service is used to analyze the usage behavior of our website. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our website.

Usage and user-related information, such as IP address, location, time or frequency of visits to our website are transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, we use Google Analytics with the so-called anonymization function. This function allows Google to shorten the IP address within the EU or EEA.

The data collected in this way is in turn used by Google to provide us with an evaluation of the visit to our website and the usage activities there. This data may also be used to provide other services related to the use of our website and the use of the Internet.

Google states that it will not associate your IP address with any other data. In addition, Google keeps

https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners

further data protection information for you, e.g. also on the options for preventing the use of data.

Google also offers

https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

a so-called deactivation add-on together with further information on this. This add-on can be installed with the most common Internet browsers and offers you further control over the data that Google collects when you visit our website. The add-on informs the JavaScript (ga.js) of Google Analytics that information about visits to our website should not be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analysis services. Whether and which other web analysis services are used by us can of course also be found in this privacy policy.

Integration of the Trusted Shops Trustbadge / other widgets

We use the Trusted Shops “Trustbadge” to display the Trusted Shops seal of approval and any reviews we may have received and to advertise the services offered by Trusted Shops after an order.

“Trustbadge” is a product of Trusted Shops GmbH, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne, for which we are jointly responsible – in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR – with Trusted Shops GmbH under data protection law.

The use 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 lit. a GDPR. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR.

The trust badge is provided by a US CDN provider (content delivery network) as part of a shared responsibility. An appropriate level of data protection is ensured by standard data protection clauses and other contractual measures. Further information on data protection from Trusted Shops GmbH can be found at the following link: https://www.trustedshops.de/impressum-datenschutz/#datenschutz

When the website is accessed, the Trusted Shops web server records the visitor’s IP address, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) in order to display the information accessed. In addition, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file, which also contains the IP address, date and time of the retrieval, amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the retrieval. The IP address is anonymized immediately after collection so that the stored data cannot be assigned to the visitor. The anonymized data is used in particular for statistical purposes and for error analysis.

After the order has been completed, the e-mail address given in the order is transmitted to Trusted Shops GmbH. The data is forwarded using a cryptological hash function so that it is not possible to reconstruct the e-mail address from the hash generated.

The legal basis for the transfer is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. The transmission serves to check whether the visitor is already registered for services with Trusted Shops GmbH and is therefore necessary for the legitimate interests of the provider and Trusted Shops GmbH in the provision of the buyer protection linked to the specific order and the transactional evaluation services.If you are already registered for Trusted Shops GmbH services, further processing takes place in accordance with the contractual agreement concluded between you and Trusted Shops GmbH. If the visitor is not yet registered for the services, they will be given the opportunity to register. Further processing after registration is also based on the contractual agreement with Trusted Shops GmbH. If the visitor does not register, all transmitted data is automatically deleted by Trusted Shops GmbH and a personal reference is then no longer possible.

Trusted Shops GmbH 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 case of the USA by standard data protection clauses and other contractual measures and, in the case of Israel, by an adequacy decision.

Within the framework of the joint responsibility existing between us and Trusted Shops GmbH, you can 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 person responsible of your choice. If necessary, the request will then be forwarded to the other responsible party for response.

Google Maps

We use Google Maps on our website to display our location and to provide directions. This is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as “Google”.

If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the installation of cookies by making the appropriate settings in your Internet browser. Details on this can be found above under “Cookies”.

YouTube

We use YouTube on our website. This is a video portal of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as “YouTube”.

We use YouTube in connection with the “extended data protection mode” function in order to be able to show you videos. If you have given your consent for this processing, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The legal basis may also be Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR be. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website. According to YouTube, the “Enhanced Privacy Mode” function means that the data described in more detail below is only transmitted to the YouTube server when you actually start a video.

Without this “extended data protection”, a connection to the YouTube server in the USA is established as soon as you access one of our Internet pages on which a YouTube video is embedded.

This connection is necessary in order to be able to display the respective video on our website via your Internet browser. In the course of this, YouTube will at least record and process your IP address, the date and time and the website you visited. In addition, a connection to the “DoubleClick” advertising network from Google is established.

If you are logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube will assign the connection information to your YouTube account. If you wish to prevent this, you must either log out of YouTube before visiting our website or make the appropriate settings in your YouTube user account.

For the purpose of functionality and analysis of user behavior, YouTube permanently stores cookies on your end device via your Internet browser. If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the storage of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. You can find more information on this above under “Cookies”.

Klarna “CHECK-OUT”

For the payment processing of orders via our online store, we use the payment service of Klarna Bank AB, Sveavägen 46, 111 34 Stockholm, Sweden, hereinafter referred to as “Klarna”.

For this purpose, we have integrated Klarna’s so-called check-out into the final order page of our online store.

The legal basis is the fulfillment of the contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b.) GDPR. In addition, we have a legitimate interest in offering effective and secure payment options, so that a further legal basis follows from Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f.) GDPR.

By integrating Klarna, your Internet browser loads the check-out page from a Klarna server. The operating system you are using, the type and version of your Internet browser, the website from which the check-out was requested, the date and time of the call and the IP address are transmitted to Klarna – even without you interacting with the check-out page.

As soon as you complete the order in our online store, the data you enter in the input fields on the check-out page will be processed by Klarna under its own responsibility for the purpose of processing the payment.

For the “PayPal” and “Prepayment” payment methods offered, processing without your further consent is limited to the transfer of payment data to us or PayPal.

For the offered payment methods “purchase on account”, “installment purchase”, “credit card”, “direct debit” or “instant bank transfer”, the following personal data in particular is processed by Klarna for the purpose of payment processing and for identity and credit checks:

– Contact information, such as names, addresses, date of birth, gender, e-mail address, telephone number, mobile phone number, IP address, etc.

– Information on the processing of the order, such as product type, product number, price, etc.

– Payment information, such as debit and credit card data (card number, expiry date and CCV code), invoice data, account number, etc.

If you select the payment method “purchase on account” or “installment purchase”, Klarna collects and uses personal data and information about your previous payment history to decide whether to grant you the desired payment method. In addition, probability values for your future payment behavior (so-called scoring) are used. The scoring is calculated on the basis of scientifically recognized mathematical and statistical procedures.
