We are pleased about your interest in our website. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below we inform you in detail about the handling of your data.

1. Access Data and Hosting

You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. When you access a website, the web server automatically stores 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 exclusively for the purpose of ensuring the trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offering. This serves to safeguard our predominantly legitimate interests in a correct presentation of our offering in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. All access data is only processed for as long as is necessary to achieve the above-mentioned processing purposes.

Hosting

The services for hosting and displaying the website are partly provided by our service providers as part of processing on our behalf. Unless otherwise explained in this privacy policy, all access data and all data collected in forms provided on this website are processed on their servers. If you have any questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please contact the contact option described in this privacy policy.

Mandatory fields are marked as such because in these cases we need the data to process the contract and cannot send the order without it.

4.1 Data Processing for Transaction Processing

Depending on the selected payment method, we pass on the data necessary for processing the payment transaction to our technical service providers or to the commissioned banks or to the selected payment service provider, to the extent necessary for processing the payment. This serves the purpose of contract fulfilment in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR. In part, the payment service providers collect the necessary data for processing the payment transaction themselves, e.g. on their own website or through technical integration in the ordering process.

Depending on the selected payment method, data may be transferred to third countries outside the EU/EEA for which the European Commission has determined an adequate level of data protection by decision. Where data is transferred to third countries outside the EU/EEA for which the European Commission has not issued an adequacy decision, such cooperation is based on standard data protection clauses of the European Commission.

If you have any questions about our partners for payment processing or the basis of our cooperation with them, please contact the contact option described in this privacy policy.

4.2 Data Processing for Fraud Prevention and Optimisation of Our Payment Processes

Where necessary, we provide the aforementioned service providers with further data, which they use together with the data necessary for processing the payment for the purpose of fraud prevention and optimisation of our payment processes (e.g. invoicing, processing of contested payments, support of accounting). This serves to safeguard our predominantly legitimate interests in our protection against fraud or in efficient payment management in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

8. Integration of the Trusted Shops Trustbadge / Other Widgets

If you have given your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR, Trusted Shops widgets are integrated on this website for the display of Trusted Shops services (e.g., trustmark, collected reviews) as well as for offering Trusted Shops products to buyers after an order.

The Trustbadge and the services advertised with it are an offer of Trusted Shops SE, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne ("Trusted Shops"), with which we are jointly responsible for data protection in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR. In the context of this data protection notice, we will inform you below about the essential contents of the contract in accordance with Art. 26 para. 2 GDPR.

In the context of the joint responsibility between us and Trusted Shops SE, please address data protection questions and the assertion of your rights preferably to Trusted Shops using the contact information provided in the data protection information. Regardless, you can always contact the controller of your choice. Your request will then be forwarded to the further controller for response, if necessary.

8.1 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 EU Commission, which is available for the USA here. Service providers from the USA are generally certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF). Further information can be found here. If service providers from the USA are not certified under the DPF, standard contractual clauses have been concluded as suitable guarantees.

When the Trustbadge is called up, the web server automatically stores a so-called server log file, which also contains your IP address, date and time of access, amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the access. 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 Order Completion

If you have given your consent, the Trustbadge accesses order information stored on your end device (order amount, order number, possibly purchased product) and your email address after order completion and hashes your email address using a cryptographic one-way function. The hash value is then transmitted to Trusted Shops together with the order information pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. This serves to verify whether you are already registered for Trusted Shops services. 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 or do not give your consent for automatic recognition via the Trustbadge, you will subsequently have the opportunity to register manually for the use of the services or to conclude security within the framework of your possibly existing usage contract.

For this purpose, the Trustbadge accesses the following information stored on your end device after completion of your order: order amount, order number, and email address. This is necessary so that we can offer you buyer protection. The data will only be transmitted to Trusted Shops once you actively decide to conclude buyer protection by clicking on the appropriately labelled button in the so-called Trustcard. If you decide to use the services, further processing will be based on the contractual agreement with Trusted Shops pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, in order to complete your registration for buyer protection and secure the order, and to possibly send you review invitations by email afterwards.

Trusted Shops 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, Great Britain, and Israel). An adequate level of data protection is ensured by an adequacy decision of the EU Commission, available for the USA here, for Great Britain here, and for Israel here. Service providers from the USA are generally certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF). Further information can be found here. If service providers from the USA are not certified under the DPF, standard contractual clauses have been concluded as suitable guarantees.
