As part of the subscription process, you will be required to verify your email address via what we call a double opt-in.

So that we can document and prove your consent, we will store the time & date of your registration and the subsequent confirmation, as well as your IP address and the wording of your consent. The legal basis for the documentation of your consent is Article 6 (1) f GDPR, as we have a legitimate interest in being able to prove that you actually signed up.

Once you have confirmed your subscription, we will store your email address to send you marketing emails. The legal basis for this is your consent and thus Article 6 (1) a GDPR. Where we do not require consent to send you marketing mails, as may be the case if you are an existing customer, the legal basis is Article 6 (1) f GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in sending marketing mails to our existing customers.

We will track and evaluate your interactions with our marketing mails, for instance whether you have opened a particular campaign, which links you have clicked and how often you click them. Klaviyo will also provide information about your possible location based on your IP address, so that we may be able to tell which city or region you were in while interacting with our mails. We use this information to optimise the content or frequency of our marketing mails and to send you updates on products we think you might find interesting. Where you have provided your consent, the legal basis for this is Article 6 (1) a GDPR. In other cases the legal basis may be Article 6 (1) f GDPR, as we have a legitimate interest in optimising the content and frequency of our marketing mails.

You may revoke your consent to marketing mails and the tracking of your interactions at any time by unsubscribing from our mailing list. Simply click on the link at the end of our marketing mails or email [email protected] to do so.

We will store your data as long as we keep sending you marketing mails, usually until you unsubscribe. We also regularly review our mailing list and delete email addresses which are no longer required because they are, for instance, undeliverable or have been unsubscribed. We will delete your consent, email address and any connected user data when you revoke your consent or in any case no later than 3 years after the end of that year. We reserve the right to store your data for these 3 years based on our legitimate interest in proving your consent retrospectively in case of a legal dispute. The legal basis is Article 6 (1) f GDPR.

We may use your name and address to send you marketing, such as offers or information about our products, in the post. The legal basis is Article 6 (1) f GDPR, as we have a legitimate interest in direct marketing. You may object to this at any time without giving reasons.

15 Trusted Shops Buyer protection and review

We have integrated Trusted Shops widgets on this website to display Trusted Shops services (e.g. seal of approval, collected ratings) and to offer Trusted Shops services to buyers after they have placed an order.

The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest according to Article 6 (1) f GDPR in providing you with an option for secure shopping and thereby marketing our shop in the best possible way. The trust badge and the services advertised with it are an offer of Trusted Shops GmbH, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Köln, with whom we are jointly responsible for data protection pursuant to Article 26 GDPR. The following information provided in this privacy notice serves to inform you about the essential contents of our contract according to Article 26 (2) GDPR.

An appropriate level of data protection is ensured by standard data protection clauses and other contractual measures. For more information on the data protection of Trusted Shops GmbH, please refer to their privacy policy.

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

By registering, a contractual relationship is established between you and Trusted Shops. If you do not choose to use buyer protection, all transmitted data will automatically be deleted by Trusted Shops and and a personal reference is then no longer possible. Refer to the legal framework Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. f DSGVO for our legitimate interest in offering you buyer protection for the transmission of the encrypted e-mail address. The legal basis for the transmission of your encrypted e-mail address is Article 6 (1) f GDPR, as it serves our legitimate interest in offering you buyer protection. The legals basis for the processing of your personal data by Trusted Shops is either the legitimate interest of Trusted Shops to offer the buyer protection programme and the rating option (Article 6 (1) f GDPR) or the contractual relationship between you and Trusted Shops (Article 6 (1) b GDPR).

If you have registered for the Trusted Shops buyer protection program, you will receive an e-mail with a rating link from Trusted Shops after your order has been processed.

By using the Tag Manager, your IP address is transferred to Google, as this is necessary for the function.

18 Google Analytics

We only use Google Analytics if you give us your consent to do so.

Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. Access by US authorities may be possible.

The data collected by Google Analytics is deleted after 14 months.

For more information on the data processed, please see https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/#infocollect

We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google, which regulates Google's processing activities for us. We have no influence on any further data processing by Google. Where Google transfers data to third countries, this is done on the basis of the so-called EU standard contractual clauses.

Informationen of the third party provider: Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland, Fax: +353 (1) 436 1001.

Google also processes your data in the USA. In the USA, no level of data protection equivalent to that in the EU is guaranteed. We must point out the risks that may arise for you as a result.

We also do not want to withhold from you the fact that you may not be able to take legal action against such access by the authorities. The transfer of your data to the USA by Google takes place on the basis of your consent and thus on the basis of Article 49(1)(a) GDPR.

The legal basis for these cookies is § 25 (1) TTDSG in connection with Article 6 (1) a GDPR. The legal basis for the processing of your personal data is Article 6 (1) a GDPR, as it only takes place with your consent. You may revoke your consent at any time via this Link.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google, which regulates Google's processing activities for us. We have no influence on any further data processing by Google. Where Google transfers data to third countries, this is done on the basis of the so-called EU standard contractual clauses.

Informationen of the third party provider: Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland, Fax: +353 (1) 436 1001.

Google also processes your data in the USA. In the USA, no level of data protection equivalent to that in the EU is guaranteed. We must point out the risks that may arise for you as a result. Among other things, it may happen that US authorities such as intelligence services or law enforcement agencies can access your data without us or you being aware of this. We also do not want to withhold from you the fact that you may not be able to take legal action against such access by the authorities. The transfer of your data to the USA by Google takes place on the basis of your consent and thus on the basis of Article 49(1)(a) GDPR.

20 Facebook Pixel and Custom Audiences

We have integrated some code from Facebook on our website that sets a cookie (the so-called Facebook Pixel). The integration of the Facebook Pixel only takes place if you give us your consent to do so. This pixel enables Facebook to track your visit to our site and the corresponding subpages, as well as any actions performed by you on our site and, if applicable, to associate them with your Facebook profile and other data that Facebook has about you. In this context, Facebook will in particular record whether you have previously clicked on an ad placed by us on Facebook or other websites. You may be identified across different devices or browsers, as long as you are logged into them with your Facebook profile. This can also be the case if you do not currently have a Facebook window open in your browser.

The Custom Audiences function enables us to determine which target groups and Facebook users our ads are displayed to when we place ads on Facebook. For example, we can set our ads to be displayed to users who have previously visited our website. The function also allows us to measure the success of our ads and thus use our advertising budget as wisely as possible. The data collected by Facebook is only visible to us in the form of anonymous reports and is only used for the placement of advertisements.

The legal basis for these cookies is § 25 (1) TTDSG in connection with Article 6 (1) a GDPR. The legal basis for the processing of your personal data is Article 6 (1) a GDPR, as it only takes place with your consent. You may revoke your consent at any time via this Link.

The Facebook Pixel and Custom Audiences are offered by Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd ("Meta"), 4, Grand Canal Quay, Grand Canal Bridge, Dublin 2, Ireland. You have the option to prohibit Meta and its partners from displaying advertisements. You can edit your Facebook Ads settings at the following link: https://www.facebook.com/ads/website_custom_audiences/. For more information on how Meta processes your data, please refer to Meta's privacy information: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php.

We are jointly responsible with Meta for the processing of your data in connection with the tracking of your activities on our website and the advertisements we serve - but not for further processing by Meta. We have entered into a joint processing agreement with Meta, which is available here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum

Meta has agreed to take care of the rights of data subjects insofar as processing by Meta is concerned. Users can, for example, send information or requests for deletion directly to Meta. However, your rights as a data subject (in particular to information, deletion, objection and complaints to the competent supervisory authority) are in no way restricted by our agreements with Meta.

Meta also processes your data in the USA. In the USA, no level of data protection equivalent to that in the EU is guaranteed. We must point out the risks that may arise for you as a result. Among other things, it may happen that US authorities such as intelligence services or law enforcement agencies can access your data without us or you being aware of this. We would also like to point out that you may not be able to take legal action against such access by the authorities. The transfer of your data to the USA by Meta takes place on the basis of your consent and thus on the basis of Article 49(1)(a) GDPR.
