Data protection declaration

 

Unless stated otherwise below, the provision of your personal data is neither legally nor contractually obligatory, nor required for conclusion
of a contract. You are not obliged to provide your data. Not providing it will have no consequences. This only applies as long as the
processing procedures below do not state otherwise.
“Personal data” is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
 

Server log files
You can use our websites without submitting personal data.
Every time our website is accessed, user data is transferred to us or our web hosts/IT service providers by your internet browser and stored
in server log files. This stored data includes for example the name of the site called up, date and time of the request, the IP address,
amount of data transferred and the provider making the request. The processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1) f) GDPR due to
our legitimate interests in ensuring the smooth operation of our website as well as improving our services.
Your data may be transferred to third countries outside the European Union for which an adequacy decision has been made by the EU
Commission. In the absence of an adequacy decision by the EU Commission, such as for transfers to the USA, the data transfers will be
based on standard contractual clauses as appropriate guarantees for the protection of personal data, among other things, available at:

If you make contact with us proactively via email, we shall collect your personal data (name, email address, message text) only to the extent
provided by you. The purpose of the data processing is to handle and respond to your contact request.
If the initial contact serves to implement pre-contractual measures (e.g. consultation in the case of purchase interest, order creation) or
concerns an agreement already concluded between you and us, this data processing takes place on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
If the initial contact occurs for other reasons, this data processing takes place on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for the purposes of our
overriding, legitimate interest in handling and responding to your request. In this case, on grounds relating to your particular situation,
you have the right to object at any time to this processing of personal data concerning you and carried out on the basis of Article
6(1)(f) GDPR.
We will only use your email address to process your request. Your data will subsequently be deleted in compliance with statutory retention
periods, unless you have agreed to further processing and use.

The data processing is for the purpose of making contact.
If the initial contact serves to implement pre-contractual measures (e.g. consultation in the case of purchase interest, order creation) or
concerns an agreement already concluded between you and us, this data processing takes place on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
If the initial contact occurs for other reasons, this data processing takes place on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for the purposes of our

Collection, processing, and transfer of personal data in orders
When you submit an order we only collect and use your personal data insofar as this is necessary for the fulfilment and handling of your

the conclusion of any contract. The processing will occur on the basis of Article 6(1) b) GDPR and is required for the fulfilment of a contract
with you.
Your data is transferred here for example to the shipping companies and dropshipping providers, payment service providers, service
providers for handling the order and IT service providers that you have selected. We will comply strictly with legal requirements in every
case. The scope of data transmission is restricted to a minimum.
Your data may be transferred to third countries outside the European Union for which an adequacy decision has been made by the EU

Analysis Advertising tracking
 

Use of the Google Analytics
Our website uses the web analysis service Google Analytics from Google LLC. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043,
USA; "Google"). If you are ordinarily resident in the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow
Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) is the controller responsible for your data. Google Ireland Limited is therefore the company affiliated with Google
responsible for processing your data and for compliance with the applicable data protection legislation.
The processing of data serves to analyse this website and its visitors and for marketing and advertising purposes. Google will use this
information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to
provide other services to the website operator relating to website and internet use. In this process the following information, inter alia, can
be collected: IP address, date and time of the website access, click path, information on the browser and the device you are using, the
pages visited, referrer URL (website via which you accessed our website), location data, purchasing activities. The IP address transmitted
from your browser within the scope of Google Analytics is not associated with any other data held by Google. Google Analytics uses
technology such as cookies, web storage in the browser, and tracking pixels which enable an analysis of your use of the website. The
information generated by these regarding your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored
there. Google relies on standard contractual clauses as suitable guarantees for the protection of personal data, available at:
https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks. Both Google and the US government authorities have access to your data. Google may
combine your data with other data, such as your search history, personal accounts, usage data from other devices and any other
information Google has about you.
IP anonymisation is activated on this website. Google uses this to shorten your IP address beforehand within Member States of the
European Union or in other signatories to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address
be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
The use of cookies or comparable technologies is based on § 15 para. 3 p. 1 TMG. The processing of your personal data is based on
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR due to our overriding legitimate interest in the needs-based and targeted design of the website. On grounds
relating to your particular situation, you have the right to object at any time to this processing of personal data concerning you.
You can also prevent the collection of the data (including your IP address) generated by Google Analytics and related to your use of the
website by Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the
following link [https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de]. To prevent the data collection and storage by Google Analytics across
multiple devices you can place an opt-out cookie. Opt-out cookies prevent the future collection of your data when you visit this website. You
need to implement the opt-out on all systems and devices that you are using, so that this works comprehensively. If you delete the opt-out
cookie, requests will be transmitted to Google again. When you click here the opt-out cookie will be placed: Deactivate Google Analytics.
You can find more detailed information on the terms and conditions of use and data protection at
https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html and/or at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/ and at
https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies?hl=de.
 

Use of Google Ads conversion tracking
Our website uses the online marketing program "Google Ads", including conversion tracking (evaluation of user actions). Google conversion
tracking is a service operated by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google").
If you are ordinarily resident in the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin
4, Ireland) is the controller responsible for your data. Google Ireland Limited is therefore the company affiliated with Google responsible for
processing your data and for compliance with the applicable data protection legislation.
If you click on adverts placed by Google, a cookie is placed on your computer for conversion tracking. These cookies have limited validity,
do not contain any personal data and thus cannot be used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages on our website and the
cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognise that you have clicked on the advert and were forwarded to this page. Every
Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. It is therefore not possible to track cookies relating to the websites of Ads customers.
The information collected using the conversion cookie serves the purpose of producing conversion statistics. This allows us to find out the
total number of users who have clicked on our adverts and were forwarded to a page equipped with a conversion tracking tag. However,
they do not receive any information with which could be used to personally identify users.
Your data may be transmitted to the USA.
The data processing, particularly the placing of cookies, is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR due to our overriding legitimate
interest in addressing visitors to the website with targeted, interest-related advertising. On grounds relating to your particular situation,
you have the right to object at any time to this processing of personal data concerning you and carried out in accordance with
Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
You can deactivate personalised advertising in Google’s advertising settings. Instructions for this can be found at
https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de.
Alternatively, you can prevent the use of cookies by third parties by calling up the Network Advertising Initiative deactivation page at
https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ and following the further opt-out instructions specified there.
You then won’t be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
You can find more information as well as Google’s data privacy policy at: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/
 

Use of the remarketing or "similar target groups" function by Google Inc.
Our website uses the remarketing or "similar target groups" function by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA
94043, USA; "Google").
If you are ordinarily resident in the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin
4, Ireland) is the controller responsible for your data. Google Ireland Limited is therefore the company affiliated with Google responsible for
processing your data and for compliance with the applicable data protection legislation.
This application serves to analyse visitor behaviour and visitor interests.
Google uses cookies to analyse website use, forming the basis for producing interest-related adverts. Cookies allow for the recording of
website visits as well as anonymised data on the use of the website. The personal data of website visitors is not saved. If you then visit
another website in the Google display network you will then be shown adverts which are more likely to take previous areas of product and
information interest into account.
Your data may be transmitted to the USA.
The data processing, particularly the placing of cookies, is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR due to our overriding legitimate
interest in addressing visitors to the website with targeted, interest-related advertising. On grounds relating to your particular situation,
you have the right to object at any time to this processing of personal data concerning you and carried out in accordance with
Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
You can deactivate the use of cookies with permanent effect by following the link below and downloading and installing the plug-in provided
there: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/7395996?hl=de

Plug-ins
 

Use of social plug-ins via the “2-click solution”
Our website uses social network plug-ins via the “2-click solution”. No connection is made to the social network servers and no data
submitted without your explicit consent.Standard integration of plug-ins set up a connection between your computer and the provider’s
servers when you call up pages on our website which contain such a plugin, allowing the plug-in to be shown on the web page by a notice
sent to your browser. Both your IP address and the fact that you have visited our web pages are transmitted to the provider’s servers. This
happens regardless of whether you are registered with or logged into the social network. The information is transferred even if users are
not registered or logged in. If you are also logged into the social network, this information is also assigned to your user profile. When you
use plug-in functions (e.g. activate the button) this information is also assigned to your user account, which you can only prevent by logging
out before using the plug-in. To ensure that you retain control over your data we have decided to initially deactivate the corresponding
button. This is shown by the greyed-out button. No connection is made to the social network servers and no data submitted without your
explicit consent - in the form of activation of the button.Only when you activate the button does it become active (highlighted) and set up a
direct connection to the social network’s servers.By logging in, you give your permission for the transfer of your data to the respective social
media provider. At this time, information such as your IP address and which websites you have visited is transmitted. Should you be
connected simultaneously with one or more of your social network accounts, the information collected is also assigned to your
corresponding profiles. Therefore, you can only prevent this assignment by logging yourself out before visiting our website and before
activating the button for your social media accounts.
The social networks listed below are integrated with the “2-click function”. You can find more detailed information on the scope and purpose
of collection and use of the data, your associated rights and options for protecting your privacy in the provider’s privacy policy via the link.
