Personal data

Personal data are data about yourself. This includes your name, your address and your Email address. You are not obligated to disclose any personal data in order to visit our website. In some cases, we need your name and address as well as further information to be able to offer you the service you require.

The same applies if we supply you with informative material on request or if we answer your enquiries. We will always notify you in such cases. Otherwise, we only save data that you have automatically or voluntarily submitted to us.

When you use our services, we normally only collect data that are necessary to be able to offer you our services. We may ask you for further information on a voluntary basis. Whenever we process personal information, we do so in order to provide you with our services or to pursue our commercial interests.

Stored data

Server log files

Server log files

Website providers automatically collect and store information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. 


These are:

  • Data and time of the request
  • Name of the requested file
  • Page from which the file was requested
  • Access status (file transferred, file not found, etc.)
  • The web browser and operating system used
  • Complete IP address of the computer making the request

This data is not combined with other data sources. The processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) DSGVO on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. 


This data is stored by us for security reasons, especially with regard to the prevention of attempts to attack our web server. It is not possible for us to draw conclusions regarding individuals based on this data. The data remains on our web server for 21 days and on a log server for 6 months. The data is processed for statistical purposes only; it is not compared with other datasets or passed on to third parties, even in extracts.

Cookies

Cookies

When you visit our website, we may store information on your computer in the form of cookies. Cookies are small files that are transferred from an Internet server to your browser and stored on your hard drive. The information stored in the cookies allows you to be automatically recognised the next time you visit our website, which will make it easier for you to use the site. The legal basis for the use of cookies is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR or, for necessary cookies, our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interests are in maintaining the functionality and security of the website, protection against misuse and improving our service.


Of course, you can also visit our website without accepting cookies. If you do not want your computer to be recognised the next time you visit, you can also refuse the use of cookies by changing the settings in your browser to “refuse cookies”. The respective procedure can be found in the settings of your browser. If you reject the use of cookies, however, there may be restrictions on the use of some areas of our website.

Cookiebot

Cookiebot

A web service of Cybot A/S, Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen (hereinafter: cookiebot.com) is reloaded on our website. We use this data to ensure full functionality of our website. Your browser or personal data is transferred to cookiebot.com in this context.


The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR and Art. 6 (1)(c) GDPR. 


The legitimate interest here is in trouble-free functioning of the website. The data is deleted as soon as the purpose of its collection has been fulfilled. You can find more information on handling of the transferred data in the Data Protection Statement of cookiebot.com under: www.cookiebot.com/de/privacy-policy/

Google

Google Tag Manager

This website uses Google Tag Manager. The Tag Manager does not collect personal data. The tool activates other tags, which may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If you have made a deactivation at the domain or cookie level, it will continue to persist for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager. You can find Google’s privacy policy for this tool at: https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/tag-manager/

Google Analytics with anonymisation functionality 

On our website, we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service by Google Ireland Limited hereinafter referred to as “Google”. Google Analytics uses so-called “Cookies”, which are text files that are saved on your computer that enable an analysis of your use of the website.


The information generated by these cookies, such as time, location and frequency of your visits to the website, including IP address, are transmitted to Google and saved there.


On our website, we use Google Analytics with the “_gat._anonymizeIp” tag. Through this, your IP address will already be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other member states that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.


Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google Inc. server in the USA and anonymised there. 


Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your usage of our website, compiling reports on website activities for us, and carrying out further services relating to website activity and Internet usage. Google may also pass this information on to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf.


Google will not, according to its own account, associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. 


For more information on the use of cookies and your consent withdrawal options on our website, please refer to the “Cookies” section.


Google also offers an opt-out add-on for the most popular browsers, which gives you more control over what information Google collects about the websites you visit. The add-on indicates to the JavaScript (ga.js) of Google Analytics that no information about the website visit should be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analytics services we may use. For further information on installing the browser Add-On, please click on the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GB


If you visit our website from a mobile device (smartphone or tablet), you will need to click this link instead to prevent Google Analytics from tracking you within this site in the future. This is also possible as an alternative to the above browser Add-On. By clicking the link, an opt-out cookie is set in your browser and is valid only for this browser and this domain. If you delete the cookies in this browser, the opt-out cookie will also be deleted, so you will have to click the link again.


If you’ve agreed that Google may link your web and app browsing history to your Google Account and use information from your Google Account to personalise ads, Google will use your information in conjunction with Google Analytics data to create target audience lists for remarketing purposes across multiple devices. Google Analytics will first collect your Google-authenticated ID on our website, which is linked to your Google account (i.e. personal data). Google Analytics will then temporarily associate your ID with your Google Analytics data to optimise our target audiences.


If you do not agree, you can turn it off via the corresponding settings in the “My Account” section of your Google Account.

Google Ads Conversion Tracking

We use the online advertising programme “Google Ads” on our website and, in this context, conversion tracking. Google Conversion Tracking is an analytical service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). If your usual residence is in the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) is the controller of your data. Google Ireland Limited is therefore the Google affiliate responsible for processing your data and complying with the applicable data protection laws. The cookie for “conversion tracking” is placed on your computer when you click on an ad displayed by Google. These cookies remain valid for a limited period, do not contain any personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognise that you have clicked on the ad and been redirected to this page. Each Google Ads client receives a different cookie. There is thus no possibility for cookies to be tracked through the websites of Ads clients. The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics. This tells us the total number of users who have clicked on one of our ads and been redirected to a page that has a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that personally identifies users. Your data may under certain circumstances be transferred to the USA. The data processing, in particular the placing of cookies, is carried out with your consent on the basis of Art. 6 1(a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on your prior consent until the point of its withdrawal.


Further information and the Google privacy policy can be found at: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/


For more information on the use of cookies on our website and your right to withdraw consent, please refer to the “Cookies” section. 

Google Web Fonts

Google Web Fonts are used to improve the visual presentation of various items of information on our website. (http://www.google.com/webfonts/). The web fonts are transferred to the browser’s cache when the site is accessed so that they can be used for the display. If the browser does not support Google Web Fonts or does not allow access, the text will be displayed in the default font. When the site is accessed, no cookies are stored for the website visitor. Data transmitted in connection with the site access is sent to resource-specific domains such as fonts.googleapis.com or fonts.gstatic.com. It will not be associated with data that may be collected or used in connection with the parallel use of authenticated Google services such as Gmail. You can set your browser so that the fonts are not loaded by the Google servers (e.g. by installing add-ons like NoScript or Ghostery for Firefox). If your browser does not support Google Fonts or if you block access to the Google servers, the text will be displayed in the default font of the system.


For information about Google Web Fonts’ privacy policy, please visit the following page: https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq#Privacy

Google reCaptcha

We use the reCaptcha service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter “Google”).


This query enables us to determine whether the entry has been created by a human or fraudulently by means of automated machine processing. The service includes the sending to Google of the IP address and, if necessary, additional data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR; this consent can be withdrawn at any time. The legality of any and all data processing operations previously carried out will not be affected by your withdrawal of consent. 


Otherwise, in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR, the use is based on our legitimate interest in establishing individual responsibility on the Internet and preventing misuse and spam. If the data processing is based on our legitimate interest, you can object to the processing at any time with future effect.  In the event that IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will, however, previously be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address of your browser transmitted in the reCaptcha process will not be combined with other data by Google. This data is subject to the deviating Google data protection provisions.

Google Doubleclick

Doubleclick by Google is a service by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”).

Trusted Shops Badge

Trusted Shop Badge

The Trusted Shops Trustbadge is integrated into this website so that we may display our Trusted Shops seal of approval and any ratings we have collected and to offer Trusted Shops products to buyers after they have placed an order.

This serves to protect our legitimate interests in the best possible marketing, which prevail in the context of a balancing of interests, by enabling secure shopping in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(1)(f) GDPR. The Trustbadge and the services advertised with it are an offer of Trusted Shops GmbH, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne. The Trustbadge is provided in the context of contract data processing by a CDN (content delivery network) provider.

More information about privacy at Trusted Shops GmbH can be found here.

When the Trustbadge is viewed, the web server automatically stores a server log file, which also contains your IP address, the date and time of the request, the amount of data transferred and the requesting ISP (access data). The web server also documents the request itself. Individual access data is stored in a security database for the analysis of security anomalies. The log files are automatically deleted no later than 90 days after their creation.

Further personal data will be transferred to Trusted Shops GmbH if, after completing an order, you decide to use Trusted Shops products or have already registered to use them. The contractual agreement between you and Trusted Shops shall apply. Personal data is automatically collected from the order data for this purpose. A neutral parameter (the email address hashed by cryptographic one-way function) is used to automatically check whether you are already registered for product use as a buyer. Before it is transmitted, the email address is converted into this hash value, which cannot be decrypted by Trusted Shops. After checking for a match, the parameter is automatically deleted.

This is necessary so that we and Trusted Shops can fulfil our overriding legitimate interests in the provision of buyer protection for the specific order in each case and of the transactional rating services in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(1)(f) GDPR. Further details, also regarding your right to object, can be found in the Trusted Shops privacy policy, a link to which can be found above and in the Trustbadge.

Right to restrict processing

Right to restrict processing

You can ask us to restrict the processing of your data if
