Relevant legal bases

In accordance with Art. 13 GDPR, we inform you of the legal bases for our data processing. For users within the scope of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), i.e., the EU and EEA, if the legal basis is not specified in the privacy policy, the following applies: The legal basis for obtaining consents is Art. 6(1)(a) and Art. 7 GDPR; the legal basis for processing to fulfill our services and carry out contractual measures as well as respond to inquiries is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR; the legal basis for processing to fulfill our legal obligations is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR; in cases where vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require processing of personal data, Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis. The legal basis for necessary processing to perform a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller is Art. 6(1)(e) GDPR. The legal basis for processing to protect our legitimate interests is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures in accordance with legal requirements, taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs, the nature, scope, circumstances, and purposes of processing, as well as the varying likelihood and severity of risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk.

The measures include in particular securing the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data by controlling physical access to the data, as well as access related to it, input, transmission, ensuring availability, and separation. Furthermore, we have established procedures that ensure the exercise of data subject rights, deletion of data, and response to data threats. Additionally, we consider the protection of personal data already in the development or selection of hardware, software, and procedures, in accordance with the principle of data protection by design and by data-friendly default settings.

Cooperation with processors, joint controllers, and third parties

If we disclose data to other persons and companies (processors, joint controllers, or third parties) in the course of our processing, transmit it to them, or otherwise grant them access to the data, this only happens based on a legal permission (e.g., if transmission of data to third parties, such as payment service providers, is necessary for contract fulfillment), users have consented, a legal obligation requires it, or based on our legitimate interests (e.g., when using contractors, web hosts, etc.).

If we disclose, transmit, or otherwise grant access to data to other companies within our corporate group, this is done primarily for administrative purposes as a legitimate interest and beyond that on a basis compliant with legal requirements.

Transfers to third countries

If we process data in a third country (i.e., outside the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA), or the Swiss Confederation) or if this occurs in the context of using third-party services or disclosure or transmission of data to other persons or companies, this only happens if it is necessary to fulfill our (pre)contractual obligations, based on your consent, due to a legal obligation, or based on our legitimate interests. Subject to explicit consent or contractually required transmission, we only process or have the data processed in third countries with a recognized level of data protection, which includes US processors certified under the "Privacy Shield," or based on special guarantees, such as contractual obligations through so-called standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission, the existence of certifications, or binding internal data protection regulations (Art. 44 to 49 GDPR, Information page of the EU Commission).

You can object at any time to the future processing of your data in accordance with legal requirements. The objection can be made especially against processing for direct advertising purposes.

Cookies and the right to object to direct advertising

“Cookies” are small files stored on users’ computers. Different information can be stored within cookies. A cookie primarily serves to store information about a user (or the device on which the cookie is stored) during or after their visit to an online service. Temporary cookies, also called “session cookies” or “transient cookies,” are cookies that are deleted after a user leaves an online service and closes their browser. Such a cookie can, for example, store the contents of a shopping cart in an online shop or a login status. “Permanent” or “persistent” cookies are those that remain stored even after the browser is closed. For example, the login status can be saved if users return after several days. Similarly, such a cookie can store users’ interests, which are used for reach measurement or marketing purposes. “Third-party cookies” are cookies offered by providers other than the entity responsible for operating the online service (otherwise, if only their cookies are involved, these are called “first-party cookies”).

We may use temporary and permanent cookies and inform about this within the scope of our privacy policy.

If we ask users for consent to the use of cookies (e.g., within the scope of a cookie consent), the legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a. GDPR. Otherwise, the users' personal cookies are processed according to the following explanations within this privacy policy based on our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in analyzing, optimizing, and economically operating our online offer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR) or if the use of cookies is necessary to provide our contract-related services, according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b. GDPR, or if the use of cookies is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority, according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e. GDPR.

If users do not want cookies to be stored on their computer, they are asked to disable the corresponding option in their browser's system settings. Stored cookies can be deleted in the browser's system settings. Excluding cookies may lead to functional limitations of this online offer.

A general objection to the use of cookies employed for online marketing purposes can be made for many services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/ can be explained. Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be prevented by disabling them in the browser settings. Please note that in this case, not all functions of this online offer may be available.

Deletion of data

The data we process is deleted or restricted in its processing in accordance with legal requirements. Unless explicitly stated otherwise in this privacy policy, the data stored with us is deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for its intended purpose and no legal retention obligations prevent deletion.

If the data is not deleted because it is required for other legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted. That means the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax reasons.

Changes and updates to the privacy policy

We ask you to regularly inform yourself about the content of our privacy policy. We adjust the privacy policy as soon as changes in the data processing we carry out make this necessary. We will inform you as soon as the changes require an action on your part (e.g., consent) or any other individual notification.

Business-related processing

Additionally, we process

– Contract data (e.g., subject of contract, duration, customer category).

– Payment data (e.g., bank details, payment history)

from our customers, prospects, and business partners for the purpose of providing contractual services, service and customer care, marketing, advertising, and market research.

Order processing in the online shop and customer account

We process our customers' data within the scope of order processes in our online shop to enable them to select and order the chosen products and services, as well as their payment and delivery or execution.

The data processed includes inventory data, communication data, contract data, payment data, and the persons affected by the processing include our customers, prospects, and other business partners. Processing is carried out for the purpose of providing contractual services within the operation of an online shop, billing, delivery, and customer services. We use session cookies to store the shopping cart contents and permanent cookies to store the login status.

Processing is carried out to fulfill our services and implement contractual measures (e.g., processing orders) and as far as it is legally required (e.g., legally required archiving of business transactions for commercial and tax purposes). The information marked as necessary for the establishment and fulfillment of the contract is required. We disclose the data to third parties only within the scope of delivery, payment, or within the framework of legal permissions and obligations, as well as when this is based on our legitimate interests, about which we inform you in this privacy policy (e.g., to legal and tax advisors, financial institutions, freight companies, and authorities).

Users can optionally create a user account, allowing them, in particular, to view their orders. During registration, the required mandatory information is communicated to users. User accounts are not public and cannot be indexed by search engines. If users have terminated their user account, their data related to the user account will be deleted, subject to retention being necessary for commercial or tax law reasons. Information in the customer account remains until deletion with subsequent archiving in case of a legal obligation or our legitimate interests (e.g., in case of legal disputes). It is the users' responsibility to back up their data before the contract ends after termination.

As part of registration and subsequent logins as well as the use of our online services, we store the IP address and the time of each user action. The storage is based on our legitimate interests as well as the users' interest in protection against abuse and other unauthorized use. These data are generally not passed on to third parties unless it is necessary to pursue our legal claims as a legitimate interest or there is a legal obligation to do so.

Deletion takes place after the expiration of statutory warranty and other contractual rights or obligations (e.g., payment claims or performance obligations from contracts with customers), whereby the necessity of data retention is reviewed every three years; in the case of retention due to legal archiving obligations, deletion occurs after their expiration.

Registration function

Users can create a user account. During registration, the required mandatory information is communicated to users and processed based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the purpose of providing the user account. The processed data includes, in particular, login information (name, password, and an email address). The data entered during registration is used for the purposes of using the user account and its intended purpose.

Users can be informed by email about information relevant to their user account, such as technical changes. If users have terminated their user account, their data related to the user account will be deleted, subject to any legal retention obligations. It is the users' responsibility to back up their data before the contract ends after termination. We are entitled to irreversibly delete all data stored during the contract period.

When using our registration and login functions as well as the user account, we store the IP address and the time of the respective user action. The storage is based on our legitimate interests as well as the users' interest in protection against abuse and other unauthorized use. These data are generally not passed on to third parties unless it is necessary to enforce our claims or there is a legal obligation to do so according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c. GDPR. IP addresses are anonymized or deleted no later than 7 days after collection.

Contact

When contacting us (e.g., via contact form, email, phone, or social media), the user's information is processed to handle the contact request and its processing according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b. (within the scope of contractual/pre-contractual relationships), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. (other inquiries) GDPR. The users' information may be stored in a Customer Relationship Management system ("CRM system") or a comparable inquiry organization.

We delete requests if they are no longer necessary. We review the necessity every two years; furthermore, the statutory archiving obligations apply.

With the following information, we inform you about the content of our newsletter as well as the registration, sending, and statistical evaluation procedures and your rights to object. By subscribing to our newsletter, you agree to receive it and to the described procedures.

Newsletter content: We send newsletters, emails, and other electronic notifications with promotional information (hereinafter "newsletter") only with the consent of the recipients or a legal permission. If the content of the newsletter is specifically described during registration, it is decisive for the users' consent. Otherwise, our newsletters contain information about our services and about us.

Registration for our newsletter is done through a single opt-in process. This means that after entering your email address, you are immediately added to our newsletter distribution list. The newsletter registration is logged to be able to prove the registration process in accordance with legal requirements.

Changes to your data stored by the newsletter service provider we use are also logged.

Registration data: To sign up for the newsletter, it is sufficient to provide your email address. Optionally, we ask you to provide a name for personal addressing in the newsletter.

The sending of the newsletter and the associated success measurement are based on the recipients' consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, Art. 7 GDPR in conjunction with § 7 para. 2 no. 3 UWG, or if consent is not required, based on our legitimate interests in direct marketing according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR in conjunction with § 7 para. 3 UWG.

The logging of the registration process is based on our legitimate interests according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our interest is in using a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves both our business interests and the expectations of users, and also allows us to prove consents.

Cancellation/Revocation – You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time, i.e., revoke your consent. A link to unsubscribe is provided at the end of each newsletter. We may store unsubscribed email addresses for up to three years based on our legitimate interests before deleting them, to be able to prove a previously given consent. The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of possible defense against claims. An individual deletion request is possible at any time, provided that the former existence of consent is confirmed.

Newsletter - Klaviyo

Our newsletters are sent using "Klaviyo," a marketing automation and email delivery platform provided by Klaviyo, Inc., 125 Summer St, Floor 6, Boston, MA 02110, USA.
You can view Klaviyo's privacy policy here: https://www.klaviyo.com/legal/privacy/privacy-notice

Google Tag Manager

Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows us to manage so-called website tags through an interface (and thus integrate Google Analytics as well as other Google marketing services into our online offering). The Tag Manager itself (which implements the tags) does not process any personal data of users. Regarding the processing of users' personal data, please refer to the following information about Google services. Usage policies: https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about users' use of the online service is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate users' use of our online service, to compile reports on activities within this online service, and to provide us with other services related to the use of this online service and internet usage. Pseudonymous usage profiles of users may be created from the processed data.

We use Google Analytics only with IP anonymization enabled. This means the user's IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

The IP address transmitted by the user's browser is not merged with other data from Google. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting their browser software settings; users can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie related to their use of the online service and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

If we ask users for consent (e.g., within the scope of cookie consent), the legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a. GDPR. Otherwise, users' personal data is processed based on our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in analyzing, optimizing, and economically operating our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR).

If data is processed in the USA, we point out that Google is certified under the Privacy Shield agreement and thereby commits to complying with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).

For more information on data usage by Google, settings, and objection options, please see Google's privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) as well as the settings for displaying ads by Google (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).

Users' personal data is deleted or anonymized after 14 months.

Google Customer Match / Data transmission via Shopify
If you have consented, we can transmit certain customer data, especially your email address, to Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, via a technical interface between Shopify and Google. The processing is for the purpose of so-called customer matching ("Customer Match") so that we can show you or similar target groups interest-based ads on Google services. The transmission is made exclusively based on your consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If personal data is transmitted to Google LLC in the USA during processing, this is done in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. Further information on data processing by Google can be found in Google's privacy policy.

Facebook Pixel, Custom Audiences, and Facebook Conversion

Within our online offer, the so-called "Facebook Pixel" of the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook"), is used.

With the help of the Facebook Pixel, Facebook can determine the visitors of our online offer as a target group for displaying ads (so-called "Facebook Ads"). Accordingly, we use the Facebook Pixel to show the Facebook Ads we place only to those Facebook users who have shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics (e.g., interests in specific topics or products determined by the websites visited) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called "Custom Audiences"). With the help of the Facebook Pixel, we also want to ensure that our Facebook Ads correspond to the potential interests of users and do not appear intrusive. Furthermore, with the help of the Facebook Pixel, we can track the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called "Conversion").

The processing of data by Facebook takes place within the framework of Facebook's data use policy. Accordingly, general information on the display of Facebook ads can be found in Facebook's data use policy: https://www.facebook.com/policySpecial information and details about the Facebook Pixel and how it works can be found in Facebook's help section: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/651294705016616.

Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield agreement and thereby guarantees compliance with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active).

You can object to data collection by the Facebook Pixel and the use of your data for displaying Facebook ads. To set which types of ads are shown to you within Facebook, you can visit the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions for settings on interest-based advertising: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads. The settings are platform-independent, meaning they apply to all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.

You can also object to the use of cookies that serve reach measurement and advertising purposes via the Network Advertising Initiative's opt-out page (http://optout.networkadvertising.org/) and additionally the US website (http://www.aboutads.info/choices) or the European website (http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/) object.

Online presences on social media

We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms to communicate with active customers, prospects, and users there and to inform them about our services.

We point out that user data may be processed outside the territory of the European Union. This can pose risks for users, as it may, for example, make it more difficult to enforce users' rights. Regarding US providers certified under the Privacy Shield, we note that they commit to complying with EU data protection standards.

Furthermore, user data is generally processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, usage profiles can be created based on user behavior and resulting interests. These usage profiles can then be used to display advertisements within and outside the platforms that presumably match the users' interests. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on users' computers, in which user behavior and interests are saved. Additionally, data independent of the devices used by the users can also be stored in the usage profiles (especially if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in).

The processing of users' personal data is based on our legitimate interests in effective user information and communication with users according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR. If users are asked by the respective platform providers for consent to the described data processing, the legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a., Art. 7 GDPR.

For a detailed presentation of the respective processing and the options to object (Opt-Out), we refer to the linked information from the providers below.

Even in the case of information requests and asserting user rights, we point out that these can be most effectively asserted with the providers. Only the providers have access to the users' data and can directly take appropriate measures and provide information. If you still need help, you can contact us.

Within our online offer, we use content or service offerings from third-party providers based on our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in analyzing, optimizing, and economically operating our online offer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR) to embed their content and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter collectively referred to as "content").

This always requires that the third-party providers of this content perceive the users' IP address, as they could not send the content to their browser without the IP address. The IP address is therefore necessary for displaying this content. We strive to use only such content whose respective providers use the IP address solely for delivering the content. Third parties may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as "web beacons") for statistical or marketing purposes. Through the "pixel tags," information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website can be evaluated. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the users' devices and may include, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visit time, as well as other data about the use of our online offer, and may be linked with such information from other sources.

We embed the fonts ("Google Fonts") of the provider Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. According to Google, user data is used solely for the purpose of displaying the fonts in the users' browsers. The embedding is based on our legitimate interests in a technically secure, maintenance-free, and efficient use of fonts, their uniform display, and consideration of possible licensing restrictions for their embedding. Privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

Within our online offer, functions and content of the Instagram service, provided by Instagram Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA, 94025, USA, may be integrated.
