  1. Glossary


We have designed our privacy policy in accordance with the principles of clarity and transparency. However, if there are any ambiguities regarding the use of various terms, the corresponding definitions can be viewed here.

  1. Legal basis for data processing



  1. Processing of personal data in accordance with the GDPR


We process your personal data, such as your first and last name, your email address, and IP address, etc., only if there is a legal basis for doing so. In this context, the following provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) are particularly relevant:


  • Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR: The data subject has given consent to the processing of personal data concerning him or her for one or more specific purposes.

  • Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR: Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at the data subject’s request.

  • Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR: Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject

  • Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR: Processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person

  • Art. 6(1)(e) GDPR: processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller

  • Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR: processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child


However, we will still indicate at the relevant points in this privacy policy the legal basis on which your personal data is processed.



  1. Processing of information pursuant to Section 25(1) of the TTDSG


We also process information in accordance with Section 25(1) of the TTDSG by storing information on your end device or accessing information already stored on your end device. This may include both personal information and non-personal data, such as cookies, browser fingerprints, advertising IDs, MAC addresses, and IMEI numbers. An end device is defined as any device connected directly or indirectly to the interface of a public telecommunications network for the purpose of transmitting, processing, or receiving messages, § 2(2)(6) TTDSG.


We generally process this information based on your consent, § 25(1) TTDSG.


To the extent that an exception under Section 25(2)(1) and (2) of the TTDSG applies, we do not require consent. Such an exception applies if we access or store the information solely to transmit a message via a public telecommunications network, or if this is absolutely necessary for us to provide a telemedia service that you have expressly requested. You may revoke your consent at any time.


We hereby inform you that the withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent prior to the withdrawal.


  1. Disclosure of personal data


The transfer of personal data also constitutes processing within the meaning of the preceding section 3. However, we would like to take this opportunity to provide you with separate information regarding the transfer of data to third parties. The protection of your personal data is very important to us. For this reason, we exercise particular caution when it comes to transferring your data to third parties.


Disclosure to third parties therefore occurs only if there is a legal basis for processing. For example, we disclose personal data to individuals or companies acting as processors on our behalf in accordance with Article 28 of the GDPR. A processor is anyone who processes personal data on our behalf—that is, in particular, under our direction and control.


In accordance with GDPR requirements, we enter into a contract with each of our processors to ensure their compliance with data protection regulations and thus provide comprehensive protection for your data.

  1. Retention period and deletion


We will delete your personal data to the extent that it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed, and the processing is not required for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, to fulfill a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest, or to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.

  1. SSL or TLS encryption1


For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the inquiries you send to us as the website operator, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address bar changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser’s address bar.

If SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

  1. Cookies2


We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small data packets that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your device when you visit our website. These cookies are used to store information related to the device being used.

When it comes to the use of cookies, a distinction is made between technically necessary cookies and “other” cookies. Technically necessary cookies are those that are strictly required to provide an information society service that you have explicitly requested.


  1. Technically necessary cookies

To make your experience with our services more enjoyable, we use technically necessary cookies, which may include so-called session cookies (e.g., language and font selection, shopping cart, etc.), consent cookies, cookies to ensure server stability and security, or similar. The legal basis for the cookies is derived from Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, our legitimate interest in the error-free operation of the website, and our interest in providing our services to you in an optimized manner.

  1. Additional Cookies

Other cookies include those used for statistical purposes, as well as for analysis, marketing, and retargeting.

We use these cookies on your behalf based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.


You may revoke your consent to the use of cookies at any time.

We hereby inform you that the withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent prior to the withdrawal.

 

To do this, you can either edit your cookie settings on our website, disable the use of cookies in your browser settings (though this may also limit the functionality of the online service), or opt out of the relevant service on a case-by-case basis.


We indicate the legal basis for processing this data in the privacy policy for each respective service.

In the context of establishing the contractual relationship, only the personal data strictly necessary for contract fulfillment will be processed in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.

You can access this information at any time to get an overview of your purchases with us. This data is used so that you can easily log in with your credentials during your next purchase. It is also intended to help you manage your purchasing activities.

  1. Disclosure of data when using online payment service providers


If, during the ordering process, you choose to pay via one of the online payment service providers we offer, your contact information will be transmitted to that provider as part of the order placed. The legality of the data transfer is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, for the purpose of processing the payment method you have selected, as well as our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR to enable user-friendly and straightforward payment processing.


The personal data transmitted to the online payment service provider consists primarily of first name, last name, address, phone number, IP address, email address, or other data required for order processing, as well as data related to the order, such as the number of items, item number, invoice amount and tax rate, billing information, etc.

We have no control over whether your personal data and personal profiles are processed by Google for other purposes. If you wish to avoid this at all costs, you can disable the Google Maps service and thereby prevent data transfer to Google. To do this, you simply need to disable JavaScript in your browser.

We also use Google Analytics advertising features to analyze the effectiveness of our own advertising campaigns.

  1. Google Ads Conversion Tracking


We use Google Ads, an online advertising program from Google (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland), on our website.). Conversion tracking is also used. With this tool, Google Ads places a cookie on your device when you visit our website via a Google ad.

The cookie does not serve any purpose of personal tracking. If you, as a user, visit our website and the cookie is still active, we and Google can recognize that you clicked on the corresponding ad and were redirected to our site. Each Google Ads customer is assigned a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of Ads customers in this way.

Conversion statistics for Ads customers are generated using data collected via conversion cookies. As Google Ads customers, we thus learn the total number of users who responded to our ad and were then redirected to a website equipped with a conversion tracking tag. This allows us to assess the success of individual advertising campaigns. During this process, we do not receive any information that would allow us to personally identify you as a user.

When using Google Ads, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to Google’s server and, if you have a Google account and are logged in, can associate the visit with your account. If you do not have a Google account, Google assigns you a unique identifier. We have no influence over what additional data Google collects and stores.

For more information on Google’s privacy policy, please visit http://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.

  1. Facebook Conversion Pixel14


We use the “conversion pixel” or visitor action pixel from Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. (4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland). By calling this pixel from your browser, Meta Platforms can subsequently determine whether a Facebook ad was successful—for example, whether it led to a completed online purchase.

We receive only statistical data from Meta Platforms regarding this, with no reference to a specific individual. This allows us to track the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes. In particular, if you are logged into Facebook, we also refer you to their privacy policy. https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

  1. Use of Google reCAPTCHA15


On our websites, we use the reCAPTCHA service from Google (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland), in order to distinguish between human input and automated, abusive, machine-generated processing. We have a legitimate interest in protecting our website content from abusive automated scraping and spam.

When the reCAPTCHA service is queried, both your IP address and, if applicable, other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service are transmitted to Google and processed there.

When using reCAPTCHA, you must accept Google’s Terms of Service. There is a separate field for this. We have enabled IP anonymization on this website, so that your IP address is truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the U.S. and truncated there.

On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCAPTCHA will not be merged with other Google data. The separate privacy policy of Google applies to this data.

Pursuant to Art. 7(3) of the GDPR, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent prior to withdrawal. In the future, we may no longer continue data processing that was based on your withdrawn consent.

With regard to the cases mentioned in i) and iii), we will take appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, which includes, at a minimum, the right to request human intervention on our part, to present your own point of view, and to challenge the decision.

  1. Amendment to the Privacy Policy



If we change the privacy policy, this will be indicated on the website has been completed, and registered customers will be informed.

As of: March 21, 2022

1 With the GDPR, SSL or TLS encryption is mandatory for all websites that provide a contact form, order form, or newsletter subscription. However, we generally recommend SSL encryption for all websites because, in our opinion, this reflects the state of the art.

2 Please remember to inform users directly about the use of cookies via a cookie notice when they visit the website.

3 You should insert a link to the cookie settings here, allowing the user to adjust their cookie preferences.

4 In these cases, you must obtain separate consent from customers for the voluntary data. This declaration of consent must then also be documented.

5 When registering via a customer account, a separate declaration of consent referencing the privacy policy is required in all cases.

6 Please add or remove the relevant shipping providers.

7 When processing newsletter subscriptions, you must always obtain the subscriber’s consent. We are happy to provide you with a corresponding statement for this purpose. This statement must include a link to the privacy policy.

8 You should not request any further information here. Otherwise, you will need additional consent from the customers. Please add the following sentence before the submit button: “By clicking the Submit button, my personal data will be processed in accordance with the Privacy Policy.” (please link to the Privacy Policy)

9 We recommend deleting inquiries that did not result in a contract after 3 months, but no later than 6 months.

10 You should obtain the user’s consent before using Google Maps. Therefore, a consent text should appear first, and the map should only be displayed after the user confirms it. Consent should be obtained again with each new visit to the website, or an opt-out option should be provided.

11 Please remember that you must enter into a data processing agreement with all service providers.

12 Please note that the use of most analytics and tracking tools, particularly Google’s, raises privacy concerns, as it is unclear whether and for what purpose (additional) data is processed here. If you use the tool on your website, however, you remain the data controller and cannot absolve yourself of liability by referring to the respective provider.

13 If this is not the case, please delete. To use Google Analytics in a manner that is more compliant with data protection laws, you should definitely Set up IP anonymization.


14 We generally advise against using the Facebook Conversion Pixel unless you obtain the customer’s explicit consent. If you still wish to use it, you should definitely use only the standard version and refrain from using the extended matching.

15 In general, we consider the use of reCAPTCHA to be questionable, as it is unclear exactly what Google does with the data. In any case, IP anonymization should be used.

Until recently, this Google service still set cookies. Currently, this appears to have been disabled, meaning reCAPTCHA could be used without consent.

But then you would have to constantly check whether Google has changed the service again and is setting cookies after all. This raises the question of how you intend to handle Google reCaptcha.

You could use legitimate interest as the legal basis here and forgo obtaining consent, or you could obtain consent for the service. We would recommend obtaining consent, as Google reCAPTCHA also combines the data with other Google data.

However, if you use Google reCAPTCHA, you would need to include a consent form.

17 On YouTube, data is collected and sent to YouTube as soon as the website is visited. If YouTube is used, YouTube’s “Enhanced Privacy” feature should definitely be enabled. However, this alone is not sufficient to comply with data protection principles. A two-click solution would also be best here. There are likely already several providers on the market for this, such as corresponding plugins for WordPress. In the latest version, text containing a link can also be inserted within a preview image. This text should link to your own privacy policy with the following wording: “By pressing the ‘Play’ button, you consent to the processing of your personal data in accordance with our privacy policy.”

18 On Vimeo, data is collected and sent to Vimeo as soon as the site is visited. To use Vimeo in compliance with data protection regulations, a two-click solution would need to be implemented here. There are likely already several providers on the market offering such solutions, for example, corresponding plugins for WordPress.
