You can visit our websites without providing any personal data. Each time a website is accessed, the web server only automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains, 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 documents the access. This access data is analysed exclusively for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offer. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests, which predominate in the context of a weighing of interests, in the correct presentation of our offer in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR. All access data will be deleted no later than seven days after the end of your visit to the site.

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, who work for us as part of order processing, or to the commissioned credit institutions or to the selected payment service provider, insofar as this is necessary for processing the payment. This serves the fulfilment of the contract in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR.

We may provide our service providers with further data, which they use together with the data necessary for processing the payment as our processors for the purpose of fraud prevention and optimisation of our payment processes (e.g. invoicing, processing of disputed payments, accounting support). In accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, this serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in our protection against fraud and in efficient payment management, which outweigh our interests.

4.3 Credit assessment

Appropriate measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms and legitimate interests are taken into account. You have the opportunity to express your point of view and contest the decision by contacting the contact option described in this privacy policy.

Trusted Shops widgets are integrated on this website to display Trusted Shops services (e.g. seal of approval, collected reviews) and to offer Trusted Shops products to buyers after an order has been placed.

This 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 S. 1 lit. f GDPR. The Trustbadge and the services advertised with it are an offer from Trusted Shops AG, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne (‘Trusted Shops’), with which we are jointly responsible under data protection law in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR. In the context of this data protection notice, we inform you below about the essential contents of the contract in accordance with Art. 26 para. 2 GDPR.

8.1 Data processing when integrating the trust badge/other widgets

The trust badge is provided by a US CDN provider (content delivery network). An adequate level of data protection is ensured in each case by an adequacy decision of the EU Commission, which is available for the USA here. Service providers used from the USA are generally certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF). Further information can be found here. If the service providers used are not certified under the DPF, standard contractual clauses have been concluded as a suitable guarantee.

When the Trustbadge is accessed, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file, which also contains your IP address, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the access. The IP address is anonymised immediately after collection so that the stored data cannot be assigned to your person. The anonymised data is used in particular for statistical purposes and for error analysis.

8.2 Data processing after order completion

After the order is completed, order information (order total, order number, product purchased if applicable) and your email address hashed using a cryptological one-way function are transmitted to Trusted Shops. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. This serves to check whether you are already registered for services with Trusted Shops and is therefore necessary for the fulfilment of our and Trusted Shops' overriding legitimate interests in the provision of the buyer protection linked to the specific order and the transactional evaluation services in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR. If this is the case, further processing will be carried out in accordance with the contractual agreement concluded between you and Trusted Shops. If you have not yet registered for the services, you will then be given the opportunity to do so for the first time. Further processing after registration is also based on the contractual agreement with Trusted Shops. If you do not register, all transmitted data will be automatically deleted by Trusted Shops and a personal reference is then no longer possible.

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