In order to make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use cookies, which are small text files that are stored on your end device.

We have concluded an order processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

5.2 WhatsApp Business

You have the option to contact us via the WhatsApp messaging service of WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. For this purpose, we use the so-called "Business version" of WhatsApp.

If you contact us via WhatsApp regarding a specific transaction (e.g., an order placed), we store and use the mobile phone number you use on WhatsApp and – if provided – your first and last name in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR to process and respond to your request. On the basis of the same legal basis, we may ask you via WhatsApp to provide further data (order number, customer number, address or email address) in order to be able to assign your request to a specific process.

If you use our WhatsApp contact for general inquiries (e.g. about the range of services, availability or our website), we store and use the mobile phone number you use on WhatsApp and – if provided – your first and last name in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on our legitimate interest in providing the requested information efficiently and promptly.

Your data will always be used exclusively to answer your request via WhatsApp. There will be no disclosure to third parties.

Please note that WhatsApp Business has access to the address book of the mobile device we use for this purpose and automatically transmits telephone numbers stored in the address book to a server of the parent company Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA. For the operation of our WhatsApp Business account, we use a mobile device whose address book only stores the WhatsApp contact data of users who have also contacted us via WhatsApp.

This ensures that every person whose WhatsApp contact data is stored in our address book has already consented to the transmission of their WhatsApp phone number from the address books of their chat contacts in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR when they first use the app on their device by accepting the WhatsApp terms of use. A transmission of data of users who do not use WhatsApp and/or have not contacted us via WhatsApp is therefore excluded.

For the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by WhatsApp, as well as your rights and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to WhatsApp's privacy policy: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/?eea=1#privacy-policy

We have concluded an order processing agreement with the provider, which protects the data of our site visitors and prohibits disclosure to third parties.

In the context of the processing operations mentioned above, data may be transferred to servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA.

For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection based on an adequacy decision of the European Commission.

5.3 When contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail), personal data is processed - exclusively for the purpose of processing and answering your request and only to the extent necessary for this purpose.

The legal basis for the processing of this data is our legitimate interest in answering your request in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If your contact aims at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter concerned has been finally clarified and provided that there are no legal storage obligations to the contrary.

6) Data processing when opening a customer account

In accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, personal data will continue to be collected and processed to the extent necessary if you provide us with this information when opening a customer account. The data required for opening an account can be found in the input mask of the corresponding form on our website.

Your customer account can be deleted at any time by sending a message to the above-mentioned address of the controller.

8.4 Use of payment service providers

- Apple Pay

If you select "Apple Pay" as your payment method from Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, payment processing is carried out using the "Apple Pay" function on your iOS, watchOS or macOS device by debiting a payment card stored in "Apple Pay". Apple Pay uses security features integrated into your device's hardware and software to protect your transactions. To authorize a payment, you must therefore enter a code previously set by you and verify it using the "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function of your device.

For the purpose of payment processing, your information communicated during the order process, together with information about your order, is forwarded to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then re-encrypts this data with a developer-specific key before the data is transmitted to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay for payment processing. The encryption ensures that only the website through which the purchase was made can access the payment data. After the payment has been made, Apple sends your device account number and a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm successful payment.

If personal data is processed during the described transmissions, the processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

Apple stores anonymized transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, the approximate date and time, and whether the transaction was successfully completed. Anonymization completely excludes any personal reference. Apple uses the anonymized data to improve "Apple Pay" and other Apple products and services.

If you use Apple Pay on iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase you made via Safari on your Mac, the Mac and the authorization device communicate over an encrypted channel on Apple's servers. Apple does not process or store any of this information in a format that can identify you. You can disable the option to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone settings. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay" and disable "Allow Payments on Mac".

Further information on data protection at Apple Pay can be found at the following internet address: https://support.apple.com/de-de/HT203027
- EPS transfer

One or more online payment methods from the following provider are available on this website: PSA Payment Services Austria GmbH, Handelskai 92, Gate 2,1200 Vienna, Austria

If you select a payment method from the provider for which you make an advance payment (e.g. credit card payment), your payment data communicated during the ordering process (including name, address, bank and payment card information, currency and transaction number) and information about the content of your order will be forwarded to this provider in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR. In this case, your data will only be forwarded for the purpose of payment processing with the provider and only to the extent that it is necessary for this purpose.
- giropay

One or more online payment methods from the following provider are available on this website: paydirekt GmbH, Stephanstr. 14-16, 60313 Frankfurt am Main, Germany

If you choose the "Google Pay" payment method from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), payment processing is carried out via the "Google Pay" application on your mobile device running at least Android 4.4 ("KitKat") and equipped with an NFC function, by debiting a payment card stored in Google Pay or a payment system verified there (e.g. PayPal). To authorize a payment via Google Pay exceeding €25, you must first unlock your mobile device using the verification method set up (e.g. face recognition, password, fingerprint, or pattern).

For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provide during the order process, along with information about your order, will be shared with Google. Google will then transmit your payment information stored in Google Pay in the form of a unique transaction number to the originating website, which will be used to verify the payment. This transaction number contains no information about the actual payment details of your payment methods stored in Google Pay but is generated and transmitted as a one-time valid numerical token. For all transactions via Google Pay, Google acts solely as an intermediary for processing the payment. The transaction is carried out exclusively between the user and the originating website by debiting the payment method stored in Google Pay.

If personal data is processed during the described transmissions, the processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

Google reserves the right to collect, store, and analyze certain transaction-specific information for each transaction made via Google Pay. This includes the date, time, and amount of the transaction, merchant location and description, a description of the purchased goods or services provided by the merchant, photos you have attached to the transaction, the name and email address of the seller and buyer or sender and recipient, the payment method used, your description of the reason for the transaction, and, if applicable, the offer associated with the transaction.

According to Google, this processing is carried out exclusively in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of the legitimate interest in proper accounting, verification of transaction data, and the optimization and maintenance of the Google Pay service.

Google also reserves the right to combine the processed transaction data with other information collected and stored by Google when using other Google services.

The transmission of your data in this case is exclusively for the purpose of payment processing with the provider and only to the extent necessary for this.

If you select a payment method for which the provider makes an advance payment (e.g., invoice or installment purchase or direct debit), you will also be asked during the order process to provide certain personal data (first name and surname, street, house number, postcode, city, date of birth, email address, telephone number, and, if applicable, data on an alternative payment method).

To safeguard our legitimate interest in determining the creditworthiness of our customers, we transmit this data to the provider for a credit check in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Based on the personal data you provide and other data (such as shopping cart, invoice amount, order history, payment experiences), the provider checks whether the payment option you have selected can be granted with regard to payment and/or default risks.

In addition to internal provider criteria, identity and creditworthiness information from the following credit agencies may be included in the decision-making process for the application review, in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR:

https://cdn.klarna.com/1.0/shared/content/legal/terms/0/de_de/credit_rating_agencies

The credit report may contain probability values (so-called score values). Insofar as score values are included in the result of the credit report, they are based on a scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical procedure. The calculation of the score values includes, among other things, but not exclusively, address data.

You can object to this processing of your data at any time by sending a message to us or to the provider. However, the provider may still be entitled to process your personal data if this is necessary for contractual payment processing.

The transmission of your data in this case is exclusively for the purpose of payment processing with the provider and only to the extent necessary for this.

If you select a payment method for which we make an advance payment, you will also be asked during the order process to provide certain personal data (first name and surname, street, house number, postcode, city, date of birth, email address, telephone number, and, if applicable, data on an alternative payment method).

In such cases, to safeguard our legitimate interest in determining your creditworthiness, we transmit this data to the provider for a credit check in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Based on the personal data you provide and other data (such as shopping cart, invoice amount, order history, payment experiences), the provider checks whether the payment option you have selected can be granted with regard to payment and/or default risks.

This website uses PayPal Checkout, an online payment system by PayPal, which consists of PayPal's own payment methods and local third-party payment methods.

When paying via PayPal, credit card via PayPal, direct debit via PayPal, or – if offered – "Pay Later" via PayPal, we transmit your payment data within the framework of payment processing to PayPal (Europe) S.a.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter "PayPal"). The transmission is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR and only to the extent necessary for payment processing.

PayPal reserves the right to carry out a credit check for credit card payments via PayPal, direct debits via PayPal, or – if offered – "Pay Later" via PayPal. For this purpose, your payment data may be transmitted to credit agencies in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of PayPal's legitimate interest in determining your creditworthiness. PayPal uses the result of the credit check regarding the statistical probability of payment default to decide whether to provide the respective payment method. The credit report may contain probability values (so-called score values). Insofar as score values are included in the result of the credit report, they are based on a scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical procedure. The calculation of the score values includes, among other things, but not exclusively, address data. You can object to this processing of your data at any time by sending a message to PayPal. However, PayPal may still be entitled to process your personal data if this is necessary for contractual payment processing.

If the PayPal payment method "Purchase on Account" is available and selected, your payment data will first be transmitted to PayPal to prepare the payment, after which PayPal will forward it to Ratepay GmbH, Franklinstraße 28-29, 10587 Berlin ("Ratepay") to execute the payment. The legal basis in each case is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR. In this case, RatePay carries out an identity and credit check in its own name to determine creditworthiness in accordance with the principle already mentioned above and transmits your payment data to credit agencies based on its legitimate interest in determining creditworthiness in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. A list of credit agencies that Ratepay can use can be found here: https://www.ratepay.com/legal-payment-creditagencies/

When using a local third-party payment method, your payment data is first transmitted to PayPal in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR to prepare the payment.

10) Retargeting/ Remarketing and Conversion Tracking

10.1 Meta Pixel with Advanced Matching

Within our online offering, we use the "Meta Pixel" service from the following provider in advanced matching mode: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Meta")

If a user clicks on an advertisement placed by us on Facebook or Instagram, the URL of our linked page is extended by a parameter using "Meta Pixel". This URL parameter is then entered into the user's browser after redirection by a cookie that our linked page itself sets. In addition, this cookie collects specific customer data such as the email address, which we collect on our website linked to the Facebook or Instagram ad during processes such as purchases, account logins, or registrations (advanced matching). The cookie is then read out and enables the transmission of the data, including the specific customer data, to Meta.

We use "Meta Pixel" with advanced matching to make our advertisements (so-called "Ads") on Facebook and/or Instagram more effective and to ensure that they correspond to the interests of the users or have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products, which are determined based on the visited websites) that we transmit to Meta (so-called "Custom Audiences").

In addition, we analyze the effectiveness of our advertisements by tracking whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on an advertisement (conversion). Compared to the standard version of "Meta Pixel," the advanced matching function helps us better measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns by recording more attributed conversions.

All transmitted data is stored and processed by Meta, so that an assignment to the respective user profile is possible and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Meta's data usage guidelines (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). The data can enable Meta and its partners to display ads on and off Facebook.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading out information on the device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your given consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

The information generated by Meta is generally transmitted to a Meta server and stored there; in this context, it may also be transferred to servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA.

In this case, if you are logged in to 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. In the context of using Google Ads Remarketing, personal data may also be transferred to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading out information on the device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

10.5 Google Ads Conversion Tracking

This website uses the "Google Ads" online advertising program and, within the scope of Google Ads, the conversion tracking of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").

We use Google Ads to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites with the help of advertising materials (so-called Google Adwords). We can determine how successful individual advertising measures are in relation to the data from the advertising campaigns. Our aim 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 the advertising costs incurred.

The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. 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 Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that personally identifies users.

In the context of using Google Ads, personal data may also be transferred to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

Details on the processing initiated by Google Ads Conversion Tracking and Google's handling of data from websites can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your given consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

You can also permanently object to the setting of cookies by Google Ads Conversion Tracking by downloading and installing the Google browser plug-in available at the following link:
https://support.google.com/My-Ad-Center-Help/answer/12155656?hl=de

To address users whose data we have received in the context of business or business-like relationships with more interest-based advertising, we use a customer matching function within Google Ads. For this purpose, we transmit one or more files with aggregated customer data (mainly email addresses and telephone numbers) electronically to Google. Google does not gain access to clear data, but automatically encrypts the information in the customer files during the transmission process using a special algorithm. The encrypted information can then only be used by Google to assign it to existing Google accounts that the data subjects have set up. This enables personalized advertising to be displayed across all Google services linked to the respective Google account.

The transmission of customer data to Google only takes place if you have given us explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. Further information on Google's data protection measures regarding the customer matching function can be found here: https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/6334160?hl=de&ref_topic=10550182

10.6 Google Ads Conversion Tracking without cookies

This website uses Google Ads Conversion Tracking exclusively without the use of cookies, which means that the service never sets cookies on your device.

Instead, your browser's local storage is used to store an individual ID assigned by Google, which enables an analysis of your website usage. For this purpose, certain user information is processed via the ID.

The ID is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. If the user visits certain pages of this website, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information collected in this way is used to generate conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag.

However, you do not receive any information that can personally identify users. When using Google Ads, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA. Details on the processing initiated by Google Ads Conversion Tracking and Google's handling of data from websites can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

If the collected information relates to a person, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the statistical evaluation of the success of our advertising campaigns.

10.8 Google Marketing Platform

This website uses the online marketing tool Google Marketing Platform from the operator Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("GMP").

GMP uses cookies to deliver relevant ads to users, improve campaign performance reports, or prevent a user from seeing the same ads multiple times. Google uses a cookie ID to record which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed multiple times. In addition, GMP can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that relate to ad requests. This is the case, for example, if a user sees a GMP ad and later visits the advertiser's website using the same browser and buys something via this website. According to Google, GMP cookies do not contain any personal information.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google's server.

We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you to the best of our knowledge as follows: By integrating GMP, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an ad from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider will find out and store your IP address. In the context of using GMP, personal data may also be transferred to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

For this purpose, certain device and browser information, including your IP address if applicable, is read out via the tracking technology in order to record and evaluate user actions predefined by us (e.g. completed transactions, leads, search queries on the website, calls to product pages). This enables the creation of statistics on user behavior on our website after redirection from an advertisement, which serves to optimize our offer.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

11.12 Shopsync for Shopify

This website uses the Shopify app "Shopsync" by ShopSync LLC, PO Box 252, Jefferson City, TN 37760, USA.
ShopSync synchronizes the newsletter service "Mailchimp" with our Shopify account in such a way that, on the one hand, updates in Mailchimp email lists (e.g., an opt-out by a newsletter recipient) are automatically stored on Shopify, and on the other hand, new contact data generated through contract conclusions on Shopify is automatically transferred to Mailchimp's email lists.

In the first case, data processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on our legitimate interest in the effective and cross-system maintenance of advertising recipient directories and the efficient observance of legally significant status changes.

In the second case, only on the basis of explicit consent from the user in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR, after a contract conclusion on Shopify for inclusion in the Mailchimp list, their first and last name, address, and email address, along with transactional information (purchase amount, time and date of purchase), are transferred by ShopSync to Mailchimp.

Data transferred in this way is not stored or retained by ShopSync after synchronization. All information synchronized between Shopify and Mailchimp is transmitted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology, and all transmitted information remains encrypted during the synchronization process.

The synchronization process requires the transfer of information over a secure connection to servers hosted by Amazon Web Services in the USA.

12.4 Cookie Consent Tool

This website uses a "cookie consent tool" to obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The "cookie consent tool" is displayed to users in the form of an interactive interface when they visit a page, where consent for specific cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be given by checking a box. Through the use of this tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user has given their consent by checking the corresponding boxes. This ensures that such cookies are only placed on the user's end device if consent has been given.

The tool sets technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed in this context.

If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed for the purpose of storing, assigning, or logging cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific, and user-friendly consent management for cookies, and thus in a legally compliant design of our website.

Further legal basis for processing is also Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR. As the data controller, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user's consent.

Where necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
