Privacy Policy
The protection of your data is a high priority for us.
Personal data (usually referred to just as „data“ below) will only be processed by us to the extent necessary and for the purpose of providing a functional and user-friendly website, including its contents, and the services offered there. Per Art. 4 No. 1 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, i.e. the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as the „GDPR“), „processing“ refers to any operation or set of operations such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation, alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination, or otherwise making available, alignment, or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction performed on personal data, whether by automated means or not. The following privacy policy is intended to inform you in particular about the type, scope, purpose, duration, and legal basis for the processing of such data either under our own control or in conjunction with others. We also inform you below about the third-party components we use to optimize our website and improve the user experience which may result in said third parties also processing data they collect and control. Our privacy policy is structured as follows: I. Information about us as controllers of your data II. The rights of users and data subjects III. Information about the data processing

II. The rights of users and data subjects
With regard to the data processing to be described in more detail below, users and data subjects have the right
- to confirmation of whether data concerning them is being processed, information about the data being processed, further information about the nature of the data processing, and copies of the data (cf. also Art. 15 GDPR);
- to correct or complete incorrect or incomplete data (cf. also Art. 16 GDPR);
- to the immediate deletion of data concerning them (cf. also Art. 17 DSGVO), or, alternatively, if further processing is necessary as stipulated in Art. 17 Para. 3 GDPR, to restrict said processing per Art. 18 GDPR;
- to receive copies of the data concerning them and/or provided by them and to have the same transmitted to other providers/controllers (cf. also Art. 20 GDPR);
- to file complaints with the supervisory authority if they believe that data concerning them is being processed by the controller in breach of data protection provisions (see also Art. 77 GDPR).
In addition, the controller is obliged to inform all recipients to whom it discloses data of any such corrections, deletions, or restrictions placed on processing the same per Art. 16, 17 Para. 1, 18 GDPR. However, this obligation does not apply if such notification is impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. Nevertheless, users have a right to information about these recipients. Likewise, under Art. 21 GDPR, users and data subjects have the right to object to the controller’s future processing of their data pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. In particular, an objection to data processing for the purpose of direct advertising is permissible.
III. Information about the data processing
Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for its storage ceases to apply, provided the deletion of the same is not in breach of any statutory storage obligations or unless otherwise stipulated below.
To establish contact, the provider enables the customer, among other things, to make contact via the messenger service WhatsApp. WhatsApp is a service of WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as WhatsApp, a subsidiary of Facebook. When the user communicates with the provider via WhatsApp, both the provider and WhatsApp receive the mobile phone number of the user and the information that the user has contacted the provider. The abovementioned data are also forwarded by WhatsApp to Facebook servers in the USA and are processed by WhatsApp and Facebook in accordance with the WhatsApp privacy policy, which also includes processing for their own purposes, such as improving the WhatsApp service. _____________________ In the opinion of the data protection supervisory authorities, however, the USA does not currently have an adequate level of data protection. However, there are so-called standard contractual clauses: https://faq.whatsapp.com/general/about-standard-contractual-clauses These are private law agreements, however, and therefore have no direct impact on the access options of the authorities in the USA. _____________________ More information about the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing of these data by WhatsApp and Facebook as well as related rights and setting options for protecting privacy are contained in privacy guidelines from WhatsApp: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/#privacy-policy. The legal basis for this processing and the transmission to WhatsApp is Article 6 para. 1 clause 1 b. GDPR, insofar as the establishment of contact relates to an existing contractual relationship or serves to initiate such a contractual relationship. If contact is not made for the above purposes, the legal basis is Article 6 para.1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest of the provider is to improve the quality of service.
Integration of the Trusted Shops trustbadge / other widgets
We use the Trusted Shops “trustbadge” to display the Trusted Shops seal of approval and any ratings we have received about it as well as to advertise the serves offered by Trusted Shops after an order has been placed. “Trustbadge” is a product of Trusted Shops GmbH, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne, for which we are jointly responsible – according to Article 26 GDPR – with Trusted Shops GmbH under data protection law. The use serves to protect our overriding legitimate interest in an optimal marketing by enabling secure shopping according to Article 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR. The trustbadge is provided under a shared responsibility by a U.S. CDN provider (Content-Delivery-Network). An appropriate level of data protection is ensured by standard data protection clauses and other contractual measures. Further information on the data protection of Trusted Shops GmbH can be found under the following link: https://www.trustedshops.de/impressum-datenschutz/#datenschutz When the website is called up, the web server of Trusted Shops records the IP address of the visitor the date and time of the call, the volume of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) in order to display the information called up. In addition, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file which also the IP address, date and time of the call, the volume of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the call. The IP address is anonymized immediately after collection, so that the stored data can not be assigned to the visitor. The anonymized data is used in particular for statistical purposes and for error analysis. After the order is completed, the e-mail address specified in the order is transmitted to Trusted Shops GmbH. The forwarding is done with a cryptological hash function, so that it is not possible to reconstruct the e-mail address from the generated hash. The legal basis of the forwarding is Article 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR. The transmission serves to verify whether the visitor is already registered for services with Trusted Shops GmbH and is therefore required for the legitimate interests of the provider and Trusted Shops GmbH in the provision of the buyer protection coupled in each case to the specific order and transactional evaluation services. If you are registered for services of Trusted Shops GmbH, then further processing is done according to the contractual agreement made between you and Trusted Shops GmbH. If the visitor is not yet registered for the services, the visitor is given the opportunity to register. The further processing after registration is also governed by the contractual agreement with Trusted Shops GmbH. If the visitor is not registered, all of the data transmitted is automatically deleted by Trusted Shops GmbH and personal reference is then no longer possible. Trusted Shops GmbH uses service providers in the areas of hosting, monitoring and logging. The legal basis is Article 6 para. 1 lit. 1 GDPR for the purpose of ensuring a trouble-free operation. Processing may occur in third countries (USA and Israel). An adequate level of data protection is ensured in the case of the USA by standard data protection clauses and further contractual measures and in the case of Israel by an adequate decision. Within the framework of the shared responsibility existing between us and Trusted Shops GmbH, you can preferably contact Trusted Shops GmbH with data protection questions and to assert your rights using the contact options specified in the data protection information linked above. Regardless, you can always contact the responsible party of your choice. The request will then be forwarded to the further responsible party for response, if required.
