We are pleased that you are interested in our online shop. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below we will inform you in detail about how we handle your data.
1. Access data and hosting
You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. Every time you access a website, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the access. This access data is evaluated solely for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offering. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in a correct presentation of our offering in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 Letter f of GDPR, which prevail within the framework of a balancing of interests. All access data is only processed for as long as is necessary to achieve the processing purposes mentioned above.
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 stated in this privacy policy, all access data and all data collected in forms provided for this purpose 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 options described in this privacy policy.
Our service providers are located and/or use servers in the following countries for which the European Commission has determined an adequate level of data protection: USA.
The adequacy decision for the USA applies as the basis for the transfer to third countries, provided that the respective service provider is certified. Service providers from the USA are usually certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). If the service providers used are not certified under the DPF, standard contractual clauses have been concluded as a suitable guarantee.
1.2 Content Delivery Network
In order to shorten loading times, we use a so-called content delivery network (“CDN”) for some of our offers. This service delivers content, e.g. large media files, via regionally distributed servers of external CDN service providers. Access data is therefore processed on the service provider's servers. Our service providers work for us as part of order processing. If you have any questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with you, please use the contact option described in this data protection declaration.

2. Data processing for contract processing and contact
2.1 Data processing for contract execution
We collect personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us as part of your order or when you contact us (e.g. via contact form or email).

We use the data you provide to process the contract and handle your enquiries (including enquiries regarding and processing of any existing warranty and service disruption claims as well as any statutory updating obligations) in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter b GDPR. Further information on the processing of your data, in particular on the transfer to our service providers for the purpose of order, payment and shipping processing, can be found in the following sections of this data protection declaration. After the contract has been fully processed, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after any tax and commercial retention periods have expired in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter c GDPR, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter a GDPR or we reserve the right to use the data in any other way that is permitted by law and about which we will inform you in this declaration.
Merchandise management system
We use merchandise management systems from external service providers to process orders and contracts. Our service providers work for us as part of order processing.

2.2 Contact
As part of customer communication, we collect personal data to process your inquiries in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter b of GDPR if you voluntarily provide this data to us when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or email).

In order to fulfil the contract in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter b of GDPR, we will pass on your data to the shipping service provider commissioned with the delivery, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of ordered goods.
The same applies to the transfer of data to our manufacturers or wholesalers in cases where they handle shipping for us (drop shipment). These are considered shipping service providers within the meaning of this data protection declaration.
Data transfer to shipping service providers for the purpose of shipping notification
If you have given us your express consent to do so during or after your order, we will pass on your email address and telephone number to the selected shipping service provider in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter a of GDPR so that they can contact you before delivery for the purpose of notifying or coordinating the delivery.
Consent can be revoked at any time by sending a message to the contact option described in this privacy policy or directly to the shipping service provider at the contact address listed below. After revocation, we will delete the data you have provided for this purpose unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use the data in any other way that is permitted by law and about which we will inform you in this declaration.

4. Data processing for payment processing
When processing payments in our online shop, we work with these partners: technical service providers, credit institutions, payment service providers.

This serves to fulfill the contract in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter b of GDPR. In some cases, the payment service providers collect the data required to process the payment themselves, e.g. on their own website or via a technical integration in the ordering process. In this respect, the data protection declaration of the respective payment service provider applies.
If you have any questions about our payment processing partners and the basis of our cooperation with them, please use the contact options described in this privacy policy.
4.2 Data processing for the purpose of fraud prevention and optimising our payment processes

Other cookies remain on your device and enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit (persistent cookies).
Protecting privacy on end devices
When you use our online service, we use technologies that are absolutely necessary to provide the telemedia service you have expressly requested. The storage of information in your device or access to information that is already stored in your device does not require your consent.
For functions that are not absolutely necessary, the storage of information on your device or access to information that is already stored on your device requires your consent. We would like to point out that if you do not give your consent, parts of the website may not be fully usable. Any consent you may have given will remain in effect until you adjust or reset the relevant settings on your device.
Any downstream data processing through cookies and other technologies
We use technologies that are absolutely necessary for the use of certain functions of our website (e.g. shopping cart function). These technologies collect and process IP addresses, time of visit, device and browser information as well as information about your use of our website (e.g. information about the contents of the shopping cart). In the context of a balancing of interests, this serves the overriding legitimate interests in an optimized presentation of our offer in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 Letter f of GDPR.
We also use technologies to fulfill the legal obligations to which we are subject (e.g. to be able to prove consent to the processing of your personal data) as well as for web analysis and online marketing.

6.2 Use of the Jimdo Consent Manager Tool to manage consents
We use the Jimdo Consent Manager Tool on our website to inform you about the cookies and other technologies we use on our website, as well as to obtain, manage and document your consent, if required, to the processing of your personal data by these technologies. This is necessary in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter c of GDPR to fulfil our legal obligation pursuant to Art. 7 Paragraph 1 GDPR to be able to prove your consent to the processing of your personal data, to which we are subject. The Jimdo Consent Manager Tool is an offer from Jimdo GmbH, Stresemannstrasse 375, 22761 Hamburg, Germany ("Jimdo"). After you submit your cookie declaration on our website, Jimdo's web server stores your IP address, date and time of your declaration, browser information, language and URL from which the declaration was sent, as well as information about your consent behavior. In addition, a cookie is used that contains information about your consent behavior. Your data will be deleted after 365 days unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter a of GDPR or we reserve the right to use the data in any other way that is permitted by law and about which we will inform you in this declaration.
Our service providers are located and/or use servers in the following countries for which the European Commission has determined an adequate level of data protection: USA.
The adequacy decision for the USA applies as the basis for the transfer to third countries, provided that the respective service provider is certified. Service providers from the USA are usually certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). If the service providers used are not certified under the DPF, standard contractual clauses have been concluded as a suitable guarantee.
6.3 Information on third country transfers (data transfer to third countries)
We use technologies from service providers on our website whose headquarters and/or server locations may be located in third countries outside the EU or EEA. If there is no adequacy decision by the EU Commission for this country, an appropriate level of data protection must be ensured by means of other suitable guarantees.
Suitable guarantees in the form of contractually agreed standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission or binding internal data protection rules (Binding Corporate Rules) are generally possible, but require a prior review by the contracting parties as to whether an appropriate level of protection can be guaranteed. According to the case law of the ECJ, it may be necessary to take additional protective measures for this purpose.
We have generally agreed the standard data protection clauses issued by the EU Commission with the technology providers we use who process personal data in a third country. Where possible, we also agree additional guarantees to ensure that adequate data protection is guaranteed in the third countries without an adequacy decision.
Notwithstanding this, it may happen that, despite all contractual and technical measures, the level of data protection in the third country does not correspond to that of the EU. In these cases, we will ask you, if necessary, as part of the cookie consent, for your consent in accordance with Art. 49 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR to transfer your personal data to a third country.
In particular, there is a risk that local authorities in the third country may not be granted sufficiently restricted access rights to your personal data from a European data protection perspective, that we as the data exporter or you as the data subject may not be aware of this and/or that you may not have sufficient legal remedies available to prevent this and/or to take action against such access.
In particular, the following countries are currently among the third countries without an adequacy decision from the EU Commission (example list):
China
Russia
Taiwan
You can find out to which third countries we transfer data in the data protection information for the tool and/or service we use for consent management/Consent Manager Platform (CMP).
Jimdo Tracking
We use the tracking and analysis tool of Jimdo GmbH, Stresemannstrasse 375, 22761 Hamburg, Germany. In accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter f of GDPR, this serves to protect our legitimate interests within the framework of a balancing of interests, namely the purposes of a statistical evaluation of your user behavior on our website and to ensure a needs-based, user-friendly design and continuous optimization of our offers.
No cookies are used for Jimdo tracking. Your data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information) are automatically collected, merged and processed using pseudonymized usage profiles for the purposes shown.
Your data is shortened, saved as a hash value and additionally encrypted with a random value that changes every 24 hours. This prevents any conclusions about the identity of individual users.
The data will not be merged any further.
7. Use of cookies and other technologies
We use the following cookies and other third-party technologies on our website. Unless otherwise stated for the individual technologies, this is done on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter a of GDPR.
