Thank you for your interest in our online shop. Protecting your privacy is very important to us. Below, we will provide you with detailed information about how we handle your data.

1. Access Data and Hosting

You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. Each time a website is accessed, the web server automatically stores what is known as a server log file, which contains e.g. the name of the requested file, your IP address, date and time of access, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data), and documents the access.

These access data are evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring the trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offering. This serves to safeguard our overriding legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our offering within the framework of a balancing of interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (f) GDPR. All access data are deleted no later than one month after the end of your visit to the site.

1.1 Hosting

The services for hosting and displaying the website are partly provided by our service providers as part of processing on our behalf. Unless otherwise explained in this Privacy Policy, all access data as well as all data collected in forms provided on this website are processed on their servers. If you have any questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please use the contact option described in this Privacy Policy.

Our service providers are based and/or use servers in the following countries for which the European Commission has determined by decision that they provide an adequate level of data protection: Canada, New Zealand, Japan, United Kingdom, USA.

The adequacy decision for the USA serves as the basis for third-country transfers, provided that the respective service provider is certified. Until certification has been obtained by our service providers, the data transfer continues to be based on the following: the Standard Contractual Clauses of the European Commission.

Our service providers are based and/or use servers in the following countries: Australia, India, Singapore.
There is no adequacy decision by the European Commission for these countries. Our cooperation with them is based on the following safeguards: Standard Contractual Clauses of the European Commission.

1.2 Content Delivery Network

For the purpose of shortening loading times, we use what is known as a Content Delivery Network (“CDN”) for certain offerings. This service ensures that content such as large media files is delivered via regionally distributed servers of external CDN service providers. Access data are therefore processed on the servers of these service providers. Our service providers act for us within the framework of data processing on our behalf.

Our service providers are based and/or use servers in countries outside the EU and EEA. There is no adequacy decision by the European Commission for these countries. Our cooperation with them is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses of the European Commission.

In part, the payment service providers themselves collect the data required for payment processing, e.g. on their own website or via a technical integration in the order process. In this respect, the privacy policy of the respective payment service provider applies.

Depending on the selected payment method, data may be transferred to third countries outside the EU/EEA for which the European Commission has determined by decision that they provide an adequate level of data protection.

7.1 Use of Google services

We use the technologies described below of Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). The information automatically collected by Google technologies about your use of our website is generally transmitted to and stored on a server operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Unless otherwise stated for the individual technologies, data processing is carried out on the basis of an agreement between joint controllers pursuant to Art. 26 GDPR for the respective technology. For more information on data processing by Google, please refer to Google’s privacy information.

Our service providers are based and/or use servers in countries outside the EU and EEA for which the European Commission has determined by decision that they provide an adequate level of data protection.

Google Analytics
For the purpose of website analytics, data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information as well as information on your use of our website) are automatically collected and stored using Google Analytics, from which usage profiles are created using pseudonyms. Cookies may be used for this purpose. If you visit our website from within the EU, your IP address is stored on a server located in the EU for the purpose of deriving location data and then immediately deleted before the traffic is forwarded for processing to further servers of Google. Data processing is carried out on the basis of a data processing agreement concluded with Google.

For the purpose of optimised marketing of our website, we have activated the data sharing settings for “Google products and services”. This enables Google to access and then use the data collected and processed by Google Analytics to improve Google services. Data sharing with Google within the scope of these data sharing settings is based on an additional agreement between controllers. We have no influence on subsequent data processing by Google.

For the purpose of optimised marketing of our website, we use what is known as the User-ID function. Using this function, we can assign a unique, permanent ID to your interaction data from one or more sessions on our online presences and thus analyse your user behaviour across devices and sessions.

The Google Analytics “Google Signals” extension enables what is known as “cross-device tracking” for web analytics. Provided that your internet-enabled devices are linked to your Google account and you have activated the “personalised advertising” setting in your Google account, Google can create reports about your user behaviour (in particular cross-device user numbers) even if you switch devices. We do not process any personal data in this respect; we only receive statistics created on the basis of Google Signals.

For web analytics and advertising purposes, the Google Analytics “DoubleClick cookie” extension enables recognition of your browser when visiting other websites. Google uses this information to compile reports on website activities and to provide other services related to website usage.

Google Ads
For advertising purposes in Google search results and on the websites of third parties, the so-called Google Remarketing cookie is set when you visit our website. This cookie enables interest-based advertising through the automatic collection and processing of data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information as well as information on your use of our website) and by means of a pseudonymous cookie ID and based on the pages you have visited. Additional data processing only takes place if you have activated the “personalised advertising” setting in your Google account. In this case, if you are logged in to Google while visiting our website, Google will use your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define target audience lists for cross-device remarketing.

For website analytics and event tracking, we use Google Ads Conversion Tracking to measure your subsequent user behaviour if you have reached our website via a Google Ads advertisement. Cookies may be used for this purpose, and data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information as well as information on your use of our website based on events we have defined such as visiting a web page or registering for a newsletter) may be collected from which usage profiles are created using pseudonyms.

If you do not grant us consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (a) GDPR to use Google Ads, no cookies will be stored on or read from your device. The data processing described in the previous paragraphs will not take place. In order to close gaps in web analytics through behavioural and conversion modelling, pings containing data (user agent, information on your consent behaviour, screen resolution, IP address, page URL, information on ad clicks in URL parameters) are sent to Google. Your IP address is used to derive the IP country.

Google Maps
For the visual display of geographical information, Google Maps collects data about your use of the Maps functions, in particular the IP address and location data, transmits them to Google and subsequently processes them. We have no influence on this subsequent data processing.

Google reCAPTCHA
For the purpose of protecting against misuse of our web forms and against spam by automated software (so-called bots), Google reCAPTCHA collects data (IP address, time of visit, browser information as well as information on your use of our website) and conducts an analysis of your use of our website using JavaScript and cookies. In addition, other cookies stored in your browser by Google services are evaluated. No personal data from the input fields of the respective form are read or stored.

Google Tag Manager
Using Google Tag Manager, we can manage various codes and services on our website. When implementing the individual tags, Google may also process personal data (e.g. IP address, online identifiers (including cookies)). Data processing is carried out on the basis of a data processing agreement concluded with Google.

Using Google Tag Manager enables the integration of various services/technologies. If you do not wish individual tracking services to be used and have therefore deactivated them, the deactivation will remain in effect for all affected tracking tags that are integrated via Google Tag Manager.

7.2 Use of Facebook services

Use of Facebook Pixel
We use Facebook Pixel within the framework of the technologies described below of Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., Block J, Serpentine Avenue, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Facebook (by Meta)” or “Meta Platforms Ireland”). Using Facebook Pixel, data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information as well as information on your use of our website based on events we have defined such as visiting a web page or registering for a newsletter) are automatically collected and stored, from which usage profiles are created using pseudonyms. In the context of what is known as advanced matching, additional information for matching purposes is collected and stored in hashed form which can be used to identify individuals (e.g. names, email addresses and telephone numbers). For this purpose, when you visit our website, a cookie is automatically set by Facebook Pixel that, using a pseudonymous cookie ID, enables recognition of your browser when visiting other websites. Facebook (by Meta) will combine this information with further data from your Facebook account and use it to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website usage, in particular personalised and group-based advertising.

The joint responsibility is limited to the collection of the data and their transfer to Meta Platforms Ireland. The subsequent data processing by Meta Platforms Ireland is not covered by this.

On the basis of the statistics compiled on visitor activities on our website via Facebook Pixel, we carry out group-based advertising via Facebook Custom Audience on Facebook (by Meta) by determining the characteristics of the respective target group. As part of the advanced matching described above for determining the respective target group, Facebook (by Meta) acts as our processor.

On the basis of the pseudonymous cookie ID set by Facebook Pixel and the data collected about your usage behaviour on our website, we carry out personalised advertising via Facebook Pixel Remarketing.

Right to object

Where we process personal data as described above for the purposes of safeguarding our overriding legitimate interests within the framework of a balancing of interests, you may object to such processing with effect for the future. Where processing is carried out for direct marketing purposes, you may exercise this right at any time as described above. Where processing is carried out for other purposes, you have a right to object only on grounds relating to your particular situation.

Once you have exercised your right to object, we will not continue to process your personal data for these purposes unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or where the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

This does not apply if processing is carried out for direct marketing purposes. In that case, we will no longer process your personal data for this purpose.
