1. Access data and hosting
You may visit our website without revealing any personal information. With every visit on the website, the web server stores automatically only a so-called server log file which contains e.g. the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of the request, the volume of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data), and documents the request. These access data are analysed exclusively for the purpose of ensuring the smooth operation of the website and improving our offer.

For the purpose of a shorter loading time, we use for some offers a so-called Content Delivery Network ("CDN") .

For this reason, access data will be processed on the servers of these service providers. We engage our service providers on the basis of processing on our behalf.

Mandatory fields are marked as such, as in these cases we necessarily need the data to process the contract and we cannot send the order without their specification. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms.

3. Data processing for the purposes of shipment
We forward your data to the shipping company within the scope required for the delivery of the ordered goods according to Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
In order to ship goods to you, we transfer your address and contact data, when necessary, to parcel delivery companies (Hermes UK, Royal Mail, Seven Senders) This includes the name, company (if applicable) as well as the postal address/Packstations and any additional information regarding the address. The legal basis for the transmission is the performance of the contract with you, Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

In order to provide you with the best possible service, we transfer personal data from your order that is necessary for creating the return label (i.e. receipt number, zip code, name, address and e-mail address). This information is required for correctly filling in the label and sending it to you via e-mail so that you can print it. While this eliminates the need for you to enter this information yourself, it does require us to forward the information to Royal Mail. The legal basis for the transmission is the provision of a service requested by you, Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
Furthermore, we use the services of parcelLab in order to take over the dispatch notifications towards our customers and to inform them about the dispatch status and the tracking number of their order.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. This can either be done by sending a message to the contact option described in this privacy policy or via a link provided for this purpose in the newsletter.

For this evaluation, the emails sent contain single-pixel technologies (e.g. so-called web beacons, tracking pixels) that are stored on our website. For the evaluations, we link the following "newsletter data" in particular

- the description of the type of web browser used,
- the IP address of the requesting computer,
- the e-mail address,

German Data Protection Act (DSGVO), technologies of Emarsys eMarketing Systems AG, Hans-Fischer-Straße 10, 80339 Munich ("Emarsys") are used within the framework of our services. Our newsletter is initially sent via Emarsys as a technical service provider. At the same time, the technologies used in this respect enable us to personalise the advertising approach to our customers via e-mail and post, so that we can inform you individually and about the most suitable product offers. For this purpose, a statistical evaluation is carried out by combining the data you provided when registering for the newsletter (usually in particular e-mail address, name) in the form of a customer ID and the data from your order history (usually order date, country and postcode, shopping basket contents, customer number, products seen and ordered) in order to create corresponding user profiles. On this basis, individual product recommendations are generated and we have the possibility to send you personalised content and discount promotions.
The evaluation is carried out with the help of cookies and tracking pixels that are stored on our website. In this way, it can be determined whether certain newsletter messages have been opened and which links, if any, have been clicked on. Conversion tracking also makes it possible to determine whether a predefined action (e.g. purchase of a product on our website) has taken place after clicking on the link in the newsletter.
The aforementioned data is collected exclusively in pseudonymous form; it is not linked to any further personal data. The data will only be stored for as long as is necessary for the purpose of processing or until you withdraw your consent.

8. Integration of the Trusted Shops Trustbadge / other widgets
Trusted Shops widgets (e.g. Trusted Shops Trustbadge) are integrated in this website to display Trusted Shops services (e.g. Trustmark, collected reviews) and to offer Trusted Shops products to buyers after they have placed an order.
This serves to protect our legitimate interests in optimized marketing by enabling secure shopping in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, which prevail in the context of a balancing of interests. The trust badge and the services advertised with it are an offer of Trusted Shops GmbH, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne (Trusted Shops). We and Trusted Shops are joint controllers in data protection terms pursuant to Art. 26 GDPR. In the following section, we inform you about the essential contents of the joint controllership agreement according to Art. 26 (2) GDPR.
The trust badge is provided as part of a joint controllership by a US CDN provider (content delivery network). An adequate level of data protection is ensured by standard data protection clauses and other contractual measures. Further information on the privacy policy of Trusted Shops GmbH can be found here.
When the Trustbadge is viewed, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file, which also contains your IP address, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the access. The IP address is anonymized immediately after collection, so that the stored data cannot be assigned to your person. The server log file is stored in a security database for the analysis of security anomalies and automatically deleted or anonymized not later than 90 days after creation. According to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, this serves the our and Trusted Shops' legitimate interests to prevent cases of misuse and fraud, to optimize our offers and websites, and to ensure trouble-free operation of the website, the Trustbadge and other Trusted Shops widgets.
Further personal data is transferred to Trusted Shops GmbH if you decide to use Trusted Shops products after completing an order or if you have already registered to use them. For this purpose, personal data is automatically collected from the order data. To check automatically whether you as a buyer are already registered for product use, a neutral parameter, e.g. the e-mail address hashed by cryptological one-way function, is used. The e-mail address is converted into this hash value, which cannot be decrypted by Trusted Shops, before it is transmitted. After checking for a match, the parameter is automatically deleted.
This serves to check whether you are already registered for services with Trusted Shops GmbH and is therefore necessary to safeguard our and Trusted Shops' prevailing legitimate interests in the fulfillment of the buyer protection linked to the specific order and the transactional review services pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If this is the case, further processing will be carried out in accordance with the contractual agreement between you and Trusted Shops. If you have not yet registered for the services, you will be given the opportunity to do so for the first time. Further processing after registration also depends on the contractual agreement with Trusted Shops. If you do not register, all transmitted data is automatically deleted by Trusted Shops and a personal reference is then no longer possible.
Within the framework of the joint controllership between us and Trusted Shops GmbH, please contact Trusted Shops GmbH if you have any data protection questions or wish to assert your rights. You can find their contact details here. Further information on data protection can be found in the following link here. Regardless of this, you can also always contact us using the contact option described in this privacy policy.
