We are pleased that you are interested in our online shop. Protecting your privacy is very important to us. Below we inform you in detail about the handling of your data.


1. Access Data and Hosting

You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. Each time a website is called up, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, the IP address, date and time of the call, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the call.

This access data is evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offer. In accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter f GDPR, this serves to protect our legitimate interests in a correct presentation of our offer, which predominate within the framework of a weighing of interests. All access data will be deleted no later than seven days after the end of your visit to the site.

2. Data collection and use for contract processing, contact

We collect personal data if you voluntarily provide it to us as part of your order or when contacting us (e.g. via the contact form or e-mail). Mandatory fields are marked as such, since in these cases we need the data to process the contract or to process your contact and you cannot send the order or contact without providing them. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data you have provided in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter b GDPR to process the contract and to process your enquiries. If you have given your consent to this in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 lit. a GDPR by deciding to open a customer account, we will use your data for the purpose of opening a customer account. After the contract has been completed or your customer account has been deleted, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after the retention periods under tax and commercial law have expired, unless you have expressly consented to further use of the data or we reserve the right to use the data beyond that is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this statement. The customer account can be deleted at any time and can be done either by sending a message to the contact option described below or using a function provided for this purpose in the customer account.

3. Data Sharing

In order to fulfill the contract in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 lit. b GDPR, we pass on your data to the shipping company commissioned with the delivery, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of the goods ordered. Depending on which payment service provider you select in the ordering process, we will pass on the payment data collected for this purpose to the credit institution commissioned with the payment and, if applicable, to the payment service provider commissioned by us or to the selected payment service provider in order to process payments. Some of the selected payment service providers also collect this data themselves if you create an account there. In this case, you must register with the payment service provider with your access data during the ordering process. In this respect, the data protection declaration of the respective payment service provider applies.

We also use an external merchandise management system to process orders and contracts. The data transfer or processing that takes place in this respect is based on order processing.

Data transfer to shipping service providers

If you have given us your express consent to this during or after your order, we will pass on your e-mail address and telephone number to the selected shipping service provider in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 lit Delivery can contact you for the purpose of delivery notification or coordination.

The consent can be revoked at any time by sending a message to the contact option described below or directly to the shipping service provider at the contact address listed below.

Individual access data is stored in a security database for analysis of security issues. The log files are automatically deleted no later than 90 days after creation.

Further personal data will be transmitted to Trusted Shops GmbH if you decide to use Trusted Shops products after completing an order or have already registered for use. The contractual agreement made between you and Trusted Shops applies. For this purpose, personal data is automatically collected from the order data. Whether you are already registered as a buyer for product use is automatically checked using a neutral parameter, the e-mail address hashed using a cryptological one-way function. Before it is sent, the e-mail address is converted into this hash value, which Trusted Shops cannot decrypt. After checking for a match, the parameter is automatically deleted.

This is necessary for the fulfillment of our and Trusted Shops' overriding legitimate interests in the provision of the buyer protection linked to the specific order and the transactional evaluation services in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
